After over two decades of waiting, player housing is finally live in World of Warcraft for those who preorder the game’s upcoming Midnight expansion. Anyone who wants a home in Azeroth can claim one, and Blizzard’s decorating toolset allows for what feels like close to infinite creative possibilities when it comes to decorating them.
Housing in WoW is in many ways a game within a game, and it’s clear many players are treating it as such. As players level up their housing level, they gain access to new types of rooms, the ability to place more decoration items, and more. Of course, WoW is now littered with all kinds of housing rewards too, which can be earned by completing dungeons, raids, achievements, bought from special vendors, or even crafted by other players.
It’s a system that will continue to evolve and expand over time, as Blizzard intends it to be a core pillar of the MMORPG going forward. Players, for example, are already requesting a higher decor placement limit for exterior decorating, and the base homes players have to choose from currently only come in human or orc-themed flavors. But having some limitations can actually be a boon to creativity, as players are using what they have available, and Blizzard’s flexible tools, to conjure up some remarkable housing marvels.
While it may have taken 21 years to arrive, players have wasted no time building all manner of fantastical homesteads and mind-blowing creations since housing went live on December 2, 2025. From airship homes to giant mechs, cathedrals to Hobbit holes, the creativity levels are off the charts. Here’s a roundup of all the best WoW player housing creations we’ve seen so far, with more sure to come.
