Since it’s not worth posting this post on reddit, i will link it up here.

So, when it comes to decorating, i see a lot of people struggling with ideas.

I want to show you some techniques i generally use on all my buildings etc.

Those decoration are especially good in empty corners etc. to bring the buildings to life.

So let’s say you have an empty corner like this somewhere outside of your building.

I will go through all the steps i usually go through when decorating such spots.

Sometimes it’s also better to not overdo it, a few boxes are enough some times. This is basically what i do most of the time, place a big box, one of the middle sized and 2-3 of the smaller boxes.

Try placing them in different agles, so it looks more realistic. Next we will add a little more different stuff like barrels, jugs etc.

Try not to place too many of one kind and if so, rotate them a little bit each time

The next step is putting some stuff on the boxes, so it gets more life.

I always place flagons on there, as if the workers were drinking some beer between working. So, adding a few lanterns, a decorative planter, a stool and some candles give it even more life.

There are of course many other different things to decorate with, this is just an example.

Always try to think of a situation that is/was going on there. What would have been the purpose of these little box spots, who was working there, what were they doing while working etc. Most of the stuff obviously always looks better at night time!

The following is a Khitan-styled City I’ve built on my current RP/PVP Server.

This was a bit of a challenge since i tried to use mostly stuff from the DLC, which wasn’t too easy because there is not that much to decorate with, the lanterns however make back for that, they look amazing! Here on the left you can see another example of the corner decoration I’ve explained

in the beginning of the post.

This is inside my great Palace, i used the static Thralls from the Pipi Mod to bring some life in here. Making them sit down in front of some dancers, doing their performance.

I really like working with those big tables, they are amazing because you can put so much stuff on it without it looking unrealistic.

Always start off with placing a plate and a cup/flagon for every chair you place, then add

bowls to the middle, always several – this is where the food would have been in. Also some cans for the drinks. In this case i also placed a Zheng in the middle.

Candles are also a great way to fill up room, since you can place a lot of them without it looking weird.

Next up, I’ve made a small room, nothing very special but you might still get some inspiration from that.

I won’t tell much to it, since it’s pretty much self explaining.

So I hope i could give you some ideas about decoration. I would also appreciate if you fill out the Survey i added to the top.
