Hello! ^w^
What have you done/are planning to do with the houses of your human characters? Share here, and include pictures if you wish!

**WARNING: TEXT HEAVY!!**

Here's my contribution:
Mayor's house: Well, it's designed like a real life house. The main room acts as a lounge, with a bookshelf, a music player and a rose sofa. There is also a fireplace, where I put the current year's zodiac animal (for luck, right?) and next to the fireplace, I like to put a seasonal item that changes each month- currently it's a white festive tree, for instance. In front of the fireplace there is a princess sofa and a princess table, complete with a book and cup of coffee. Oh, and there's a pet goldfish, too, named after my favourite food- Mochi. Usually I'd have a flower screen thing by the rose sofa, but I had to remove it for this month as my white festive tree wouldn't fit otherwise. My right-side room is very small-it's a bathroom. It comes with a fancy modern shower, the compulsory sink, as well as a bathtub, though I was considering putting a whirlpool bath in there instead. I guess I can change this around according to my preferences. Oh and obviously there's a toilet- must be realistic! I'll add the bathroom shelf too as soon as I see it at Harvey's. To add a finishing touch, hanging on the wall I have a bathrobe.
My left-side room is a kitchen. Now I have a problem with it currently because I need to find a space to put a table for my character to eat! Or I might add a dining room, but then I'd have to rearrange my main room. Currently, there's a bunch of counters and of course a stove, kitchen island, and such. There are tables and counters with things like toasters, smoothie machines, and so on. There's a fridge and a milk case, because my character (and me) loves milk. Plus there's a chocolate fountain, frequented by my character at 3am. Since the kitchen isn't fully expanded, I might expand it to fit a table for me, but I'm still unsure.
Next- the upstairs room! My character's bedroom. The room size isn't fully expanded, which is perfect for me. The sleek carpet is soft and fuzzy- perfect. I am super happy with this room; in the top left corner is my character's bed, it's a regal bed in light blue. Next to it is an exotic end table, and on it is the seashell music box playing Stale Cupcakes. Next to is a cherry blossom lamp, above which on the wall is the cherry blossom clock, because it's pretty. Next to the lamp is a lovely phone, used by my mayor to make important mayor phone calls, but also to prank-call Nook. Her town, her rules. Then there's a white regal dresser, which is against the right wall, which stores everything, from clothes to tea. Next to it is a regal vanity (is that what it's called?), which has a minimalist minitable next to it with a make-up case on top. There is a sleek chair behind the vanity. Next to that is a computer desk complete with an office chair (I really need to upgrade to the white office chair...) where my character spends most nights on the Internet while listening to the waves of the sea clashing with the beach. In the bottom left corner there is a rose sofa, and against the left wall are two mannequins; one with PJs and one with a day outfit. Also, there's a lovely clock on the wall opposite the bed, so that she can immediately tell what time it is after waking up.
The bottom room is largely inspired by zashiki. The central part is a kotatsu, to keep warm and cosy, with cushions around it to improvise zabuton (before you could sit on cushions I used marshmallow chairs lol). On the kotatsu is delish food- a kaiseki meal, sushi, zen tea set and donburi. There is a shoji screen wall and tatami floor- the wall is decorated with paper lamps and a Noh mask. To improve the atmosphere, a lily record player plays King K.K.- the closest to shamisen music I can get. The edges of the room are decorated with dango, rice cake, go board, lovely doll and ikebana, a hagoita and azalea bonsai. I love this room so much ;-; There is a sanshin too, closest I could get to shamisen. I was considering changing this room to a dining room and sticking with just the Japanese restaurant.

OKAY! Next room- my side character, Sakura. Her house is a school; Sakura High School. This school is kinda inspired by my old school, which was small and had one classroom per year group, with up to 16 pupils per year. The main room has drink and snack machines, a soda fountain, an espresso machine, a water dispenser and also a reception desk. The drink and snack machines, according to my imagination, have lots of things, even mochi :) The up room (not upstairs) is the classroom with four desks seating two students each, with homework sets. On one of the desks is a coffee cup, there's a world map and at the front a large blackboard. The teacher's desk has a laptop and globe, there is a basic clock above the board, and on the other side of the board is a bin, tea set, water dispenser and corkboard. During the 15-minute morning and afternoon breaks students like to make tea and pass it out, because who doesn't like tea? The left room is a similar classroom to the first, but the desks are two individual desks put together, and the chairs have cushions haha. The floor and wall design is different, and the teacher's desk has a perfect apple. There's a corkboard but no water dispenser or tea set :c Floor and wall is different too, and there's also a map. Left classroom has different floor and wall and there are 8 separate desks. There is an old fashioned globe, there's a bin and corkboard, and there's a plant, but again- no tea set or water. Go upstairs and reach the science lab; nothing is that different except the anatomical models and the science tables, and a chemistry flask on the teacher's desk. Downstairs is a computer lab, but it functions as a normal classroom too- as long as the keyboards are put away. This classroom is very minimalistic, and the students in the last year usually have this classroom, but they switch classrooms with other years when they have a computer class. There is a corkboard though.

Next, those are my plans:
Violet: I plan this to be a kind of facility complex. Since this house is in the four-seasons garden, the main room changes each season; an ice palace in winter, a lush meadow in spring, a beach in summer, and an autumn forest in ... autumn. Then, the other rooms will act as a:
-grocery store- complete with ice-cream displays and shaved-ice makers, as well as coffee machine. I will use Harvey's store shelves and some of the 7-11 set.
-library: comfortable chairs, complete with books about anything and everything. Free tea and cookies! Space to study, do homework or just draw and write.
- Japanese restaurant: A bigger version of my zashiki room. Japanese decor, complete with conveyor belt sushi and a wide range of Japanese food. Kotatsu to keep warm during cold winter nights! Japanese music playing and everything from sushi to wagashi.
-sports centre: Space to play basketball or volleyball or tennis; not exactly a gym, just a fun place to play sport! Might add a bowling lane to this room too. Since the town is so small, one lane is enough :p
-I think there was another idea, but I can't remember. I'll add it if I remember. Oh- a doctor's office! I'll add this too; if you character has the flu, where else to go? I'm not sure about adding this room.

Finally; Rose! A cute and cosy cafe in town. With a pastel theme, there will be lots of sweets and a range of drinks, including seasonal ones! Cute and comfortable seating, fancy music playing, delicious food- this will be one room only, I think fully upgraded. But I can't wait to get this done.

Okay, this was very long >w<
 
I still need to pay off my entire loan in New Leaf. I just want the Kiddie set because I want my house to look like Bob's house plus it's my favorutie furniture set.
 
Entry room: lounge, modern wood/cabin set.
East: kitchen, alpine set.
North: Food-themed room, puzzle league, cakes, sweets, fruit baskets, ect
West: Beach
Basement: personal Satanic shrine c:
Second floor: my room, modern wood set.

My first room is designed, or I would hope it to be once I get a better idea of how to have my decor set up, like those 90's anime girl's rooms with bright/neon pinks and cutesy telephone on the side (Lovely Set). I have a long way to go before I'm fully satisfied with it honestly... might need to look up some inspo.

Second Room ( To the Right ) is currently Christmas themed / Kitchen but I need more kitchen furniture for that.. and I might keep it that way for my dream Adress.

Second Floor ( Left Side ) Zen,Calm, Just a place to relax, sit on some cushions with a lotus pond in the background and I have the lunar horizon wallpaper so it looks as if you were enjoying a japanese festival !

Basement I have nothing in the basement because I have changed my plans...see my first plan was to make it into a sushi bar, restaurant but I haven't found my inspiration for it quite yet. Who knows, maybe by the next week I will !


My other character is my siblings home, I have no idea what she's doing her decor is everywhere LOL.
 
Wow, all of your posts are so interesting *o* I'll have to visit some Dream Towns >w<
I didn't elaborate on the cafe yesterday because I was super tired when writing the post, but I'll write a little more here;
It's located in a picturesque location with a beautiful sea view, so the sound of the sea crashing against the shore can be heard. It's a cute and cosy cafe, with lotus lamps bathing the interior of the cafe in a soft pink light, with hints of blue. Here, you can eat a whole cake by yourself and nobody will judge you- it's so delicious after all. There is something for everyone- panda cupcakes for those with a massive sweet tooth like myself, and a range of tea flavours for tea lovers. Seasonal snacks include sakura smoothies (made with real sakura) in the spring, shaved ice in the summer, cinnamon, pumpkin and apple galore in the autumn and hearty soups and hot chocolate in winter. Soft music will play in the background, and an adorable carpet and wall will give the cafe a home-like feel ^-^
 
Mayor: most like a real house. there's 3 bedrooms of diff styles, a kitchen, a fancy bathroom and a outdoor garden.
Side chara 1: Japanese style bathhouse/inn w/ gambling den in the basement lol
Side chara 2: vaguely a movie studio
Side chara 3: in progress ATM, but it's gonna be like a Chinese restaurant/medicine shop, though in my dream town it's a school atm
 
I have 3 houses. Katsu's house has old-fashioned decor, Spirit's house is an extension of the outdoors and Zero's house is a caf? with each room representing an emotion or an opinion.

Katsu's house is supposed to have an old-fashioned feel to it. The main room is a kind of a living room with lots of bookshelves. The color scheme is violet brown, dark green and brown with warm violet lighting highlighting the colors. There's a cozy corner for reading and another where you can enjoy the warmth of the fireplace. There's a corner for letter-writing and a caf? corner where you can enjoy delicious self-made coffee with chocolate cake. There are vintage items like the cool globe, vintage telescope, snow globe, bottled ship, typewriter and items from the Brewster set.

The basement is a dusty storage for Katsu's old antique items that are too precious to use and too precious to let go of. There are items from the rococo and cardboard sets to make it look old, cramped and storage-like. There's also a Virgo harp, Leo sculpture, cash register and miniature fossil models.

The upstairs is so cramped with houseplants that it looks almost like a greenhouse. It's also Katsu's bedroom and craft room with all kinds of crafting equipment and handicrafts Katsu has made. It follows the old-fashioned decor as well with dark green and brown furniture.

And then there's Spirit's house, still a work in progress. I'm trying to make it an extension of the outdoors with rooms that look like they're out in nature. The upstairs is a wheat field with the lunar horizon wall. There's a rice plant bed at the back of the room with a dream catcher on the wall above it. There's a moon on the left side of the room and a flying saucer on the right.

The left-hand room is an old ruin overgrown with jungle. It has the jungle wall and flooring and there's overgrown hay (wheat fields) all over. There are antique pillars/posts standing here and there and an abandoned bike and sleeping bag laying on the ground.

The main room is a forest with items from the mush, bug and gorgeous sets. The basement has the underwater wall and flooring and island and fish set items. The right-hand room is a kind of a plant research room or a planetarium right now but I'm planning on redoing it.

And then, finally, there's Zero's house. I haven't started working on it yet but I do have a plan. The main room will be a shabby caf? with items from the cardboard set and miniature fossils. The back room could be an outdoors extension of it. I've thought about using the bamboo-grove wall and bamboo fences to create small lodges for iron garden tables and iron garden chairs. Maybe a garden rock, lotus pond and the like for decorations.

The rest of the rooms will represent emotions, stances and give commentary on certain issues. The basement for example will have a single standing spotlight in it pointing at an anatomical model. I have plans for the other ones as well but, er, let's leave it for now. Really looking forward to working on them.

I basically design mine with mixed sets and rooms. Its almost how I would want to keep my Real life house! haha
 
My mayor's house is about to be a home that you guys may find interesting.

My 2nd player's house I have no idea what its going to be, probably a good looking one...

My 3rd player's house is going to be a nature house. It'll include a greenhouse. The entire house is tree themed. Which fits this player's love with nature.

And finally, the 4th player's house is the princess of Leafton. She dreamed of becoming one, and she'll finally be one here.
