Are you looking to create preset deco items like those found in the Deco Room that you can buy? Or just after some inspiration to make one-off items that could be sold at an auction?

Better post an idea...*racks brain*.... um...[Space saved for when i come up with an idea]

2) something with bookshelves with books
3) a larger decorated dining room table and chairs
4) bathroom fixtures :P

various ship parts to make your own custom boat. and please lets be able to spend lots of money on being able to buy small cannons, just deco ones, but I would spend gold on it!

In honor of Star Wars Episode I, which I just recently watched again, perhaps a magical glowing-ball thingie like at the end of it? Obviously it'd be a higher-end Deco item as it'd only really be awesome if it had the special effects, but I bet you'd find a lotta people who would pay for it.

My suggestions:
- A mounted dragon head that casts zero-damage flamestrike on any user that double clicks head when locked down. Dragon roar would be a nice touch.
- Wall mounted GM Flags, possibly unique dyed with GM colors and named +<insert GM name> Flag
- Personal slot machines*. Actually never been to the casino, but would be nice if some players begin making casino houses.
*Note, same payout as the casino (overall more gold lost then paid out). Also machine buyer cannot redeem gold so ultimately acts as a gold sink.
- Newspaper deco entitled Excelsior Daily
- Door Bell (can be switched off or on by house owner or at least have a delay similar to the poof ball to prevent spamming)

1. Display Pedestals - A lot of players like to show off some of their unique items and there isn't a true display pedestal or case out there where you can just drop the item on it and lock it down without using a house tool. (they never seem to be centered either)

2. Miniature Shrine (one tile) icons that can be used as a telepad to the corresponding shrine in Felucca. (Expensive deco)

3. Statue lamps

4. Guillotine (for the macabre members of the shard)

5. House Greeters - We've all seen those NPC's in various places that state some preprogrammed message about either needing a password to enter or that this certain dungeon is closed. How about one that can be placed at your house that can have a custom message of our choice to greet people as they approach the house. (Example: Greetings, welcome to Cygnus's Malas Palace. Please feel free to look around. Items in porch chest are free to take.) I think one to 2 tiles away would suffice.

I have other ideas but you did say "of medium size" so I will leave it at these.

Treasure piles are cute, especially if they had little sparkles!

Displays like flower beds to put flowers into or displays to put potted plants on. Like a terrace or plant stand or something that you could put your own plants into and it'd have a water barrel or water tub and little pail or watering can. It'd be nice to have small plant stands where decorative plants would look 'normal' on -- instead of plants growing out of tile floors and whatever.

I know trees are special ticket items like plum and cherry trees, but how about something smaller and more simple like flowered shrubberies! Items that could be placed into yard space would be neat, but I do not know how that would work or if it could.

Canopy beds, oooh, ahhh! Beds exist, curtains exist, canopy beds would be awesome! With curtains you can open or close. :nod:

GM tapestries for our walls!

UO used to have flying mounts, like nightmares, until it was like OMG people are flying into other people's castles and robbing them! Well, robbing people isn't an issue like it used to be. So how about a flying nightmare? Nightmares used to be the shizzle. Lemme get my Nazgul on, yo!

I'd love a wall fountain like you see at the pond in TC, those are super cute.

Hmmm if I think of more, I'll post.

Thank you all for the Great deco ideas, Please remember that i am not a Scriptwriter so Scripted deco such as the LOTR keg would not be something i would be able to do. I am thinking more in the way of Yard items and such like a few of Viola's and Jen's ideas. But believe me, All of the wonderful ideas are very much appreciated .

Keep em coming guys and i will work on making some of them come to life :) Thank you all
