Player Housing: Decor Guide

In this guide, we will break down decor items (not literally!), Blizzard's key decor reward philosophies, where to find decor items, and the basics of the Decor Catalog.

After you've customized the basic structure of your home, decor objects are all the extras; they are the tiny details that make your player house feel like a player home. Are you a goblin fan who loves whirling gadgets and flamethrowers? Are you more of a serene, Night Elf-style decorator? Are you all about minimalism? Decor items showcase who you are and let you fully express yourself in-game.

You'll find thematic decor from all manner of races, factions, and expansion storylines, including:

• Blood Elves;
• Kul Tirans;
• Zandalari and Amani Trolls;
• Draenei;
• Earthen;
• Wildhammer Dwarves;
• Tauren;
• Humans;
• Forsaken;
• Orcs;
• Night Elves;
• Class Halls;
• Suramar;
• Mechagon;
• The Consortium;
• Shadowlands Covenants;
• Void-Touched;
• and so, so much more...

Everything around player housing is centered on the Housing Dashboard (natively bound to H); this is also where you'll find the Decor Catalog, the searchable database of all known decor items. When viewing an item in the Decor Catalog, you will see an item preview, alongside item source, cost, and available pieces in your Warband decor inventory.

If applicable, the Catalog will also tell you whether an item can be dyed; look for a small palette icon. You are even able to preview items from the Catalog to see how they would appear in your space, though of course, closing the Decor Catalog clears all previewed items.

The Decor Catalog sorts items into the following categories, with substantial overlap:

1. Furnishings
   • Seating
   • Tables and Desks (includes bars, lecterns, etc.)
   • Storage (includes everything from pots and jars to shelves, baskets and crates)
   • Beds
   • Misc (includes screens, plinths, tubs, banners, fireplaces, and mirrors, among others!)
2. Accents
   • Ornamental (includes books, pedestals, altars, curtains, and ceiling-hanging items)
   • Wall Hangings
   • Food and Drink (all kinds of food decor, from individual food items to platters, feasts, chalices, and barrels)
   • Floor
   • Misc (includes boulders, large decorative items, and exterior decor)
3. Structural
   • Doors
   • Walls and Columns (includes platforms, interior walls, columns, and beams)
   • Windows
   • Large Structures (includes exterior-only buildings like gazebos, forges, tents, windmills, fountains, outhouses, and wells)
   • Misc (includes fences and corresponding posts, lampposts, trellises, etc.)
4. Lighting
   • Large Lights (includes lampposts, braziers, and fireplaces)
   • Wall Lights
   • Ceiling Lights
   • Small Lights (includes small sconces, small free-standing lights, etc.)
   • Ambient Lighting (currently empty)
   • Misc (includes campfires, floating lights, some lampposts and the occasional lost brazier)
5. Nature
   • Large Foliage (includes trees, giant collections of biome-specific foliage, etc.)
   • Small Foliage (includes small flowers or small clusters of flowers, small clusters of grass, etc.)
   • Bushes
   • Ground Cover (includes grass and brush clusters, large clusters of biome-specific foliage, etc.)
   • Vines and Hanging Plants
   • Misc (includes some uncategorized plant items, mushrooms, and a Seed of Ages item from the Druid Class Hall!)
6. Functional (Note: this category is not well-defined, but the items contained within MAY actually be functional for cooking etc.)
   • Utility (includes cooking elements and functional mailboxes)
   • Pet Beds
   • Misc (includes a Replica Felblood Altar and other Warlock-specific decor)
7. Miscellaneous (includes large and otherwise uncategorized items like caravans, carts, wagons, etc.)

Make your battle pets part of the family with Pet Bed Decor options, introduced for the first time in Midnight Patch 12.1. Pet beds are found under the Functional category, and players will start with a simple pet crate option upon login.

While we are not yet sure how else we might obtain pet beds, both faction neighborhoods have their own Pet Decor Vendor: Agratha for the Horde and Perry Winkles for the Alliance. It appears that each bed costs 5 decor budget to place.

The pet bed assignments are extremely easy to manage via the customization menu. Because pet assignments occupy the typical customization menu, it does seem that pet beds are not dyeable, at least for the time being; however, each bed is resizable and adjustable. Several of the smaller bed options are very easy to hide in nicer, comfier decor options like rugs and pillows.

Currently, players can place up to 10 pet beds inside their homes, and can assign pets to be stationary on their beds, or roaming around the house. Exterior pet beds have slightly stricter limitations: only 5 beds are permitted, and pets can only be stationary. However, even stationary pets continue to do their unique little animations and idle movements, giving them tons of character even if they are unable to move around the area (yet!).

In their April 2025 article on Housing Rewards, Blizzard detailed the core philosophies at work in their decor reward system:

• This is a progressive journey. Obtaining any one piece of decor should be very possible, but completing the entire catalog should be extremely difficult.
• Housing Rewards focus on core gameplay (with variations). Decor should come from all manner of different sources, from the most peaceful of rep grinds to every kind of PvP imaginable, and from professions to boss kills. Reward activities should appeal to everyone.
• Your playtime should feel worthwhile; past playtime and old achievements mean you will not be starting from scratch when you buy your house, but instead your collection reflects the effort you previously put into the game.

Simply browsing the catalog reveals these principles in action. You will find decor available from all manner of different activities:

PvP

Professions

Quest Achievements

Raids

Old Reputations

As a note, remember that decor items are both Warbound and quantity-specific; that is, if you would like to fence both your Horde and Alliance yards with a Gilnean-style fence, you will need enough fence posts and fences for the entirety of both yards.

From a towering replica Dark Portal to the smallest candle, almost every decor item in the game can be placed exactly as you see fit. Even the Basic Controls allow for relatively precise positioning with adjustments via mouse wheel, and you can turn grid-snapping on or off depending on your preference, as well as disabling collision if you prefer to decorate with a little more freedom.

The Advanced Controls are a decorator's dream. Adjust item scale, rotate 360 degrees for even more precision, and nudge each piece into place with a more delicate movement function. If you have been marvelling over the incredible Player Housing builds on YouTube and social media, you are witnessing the Advanced Controls at work!

Dyes are obtainable through the Auction House, or as a result of Inscription and Alchemy both; Scribes mill the pigment, while Alchemists create the Dyes themselves. Most items have several different zones that can be dyed, and the options are just as expansive as the rest of the decor system!

If you are looking for a more in-depth guide about all the interior customization options and how to use the placement tools, we've got you covered!

Obtaining your home is just the first step, but decor collecting and decorating is the true housing endgame. Happy decorating!
