RE: Feng Shui, the Eorzean Way - Shoshopu - 02-04-2015
I recently redid my room in my FC's house. In-character it's like a small apartment Shoshopu and her Roegadyn friend Fyrilsunn share...

I'd like to think it's easy to guess whose room is whose even if you don't know the characters very well.

Ah, neat! I take it you have partitions set in place to give them both their separate bedrooms?

Yep! The layout altogether takes five partitions. (pictures are inside that spoiler tag that's there? that SHOULD be there anyway idk if it's broken now I'm paranoid)
The old version of the room took seven, but that's because the room was divided 50/50 perpendicular to the door and I had to use two partitions' width to hide the middle window against the back of the room?
That's probably hard to visualize so here's a link to a tumblr post I made about it whenever I'd first bought the room. I loved the 'living room' space in the front, but each of their rooms was pretty cramped... and it didn't feel very private since you could see into both rooms as soon as you walked in (ostensibly there were doors, but you had to use your imagination)
This new layout has a hallway that wraps around the front and right side of the whole chamber, and then the remaining 70%ish of the room is divided between the two of them.

Haha, Chachan's room started similarly! I had the place completely split in half - workshop in front and bedroom in back. I even originally just used the tonberry mini-partitions to split everything up. It... looked almost playground-ish, which was fine for the back but the front needed some sprucing up.
Enter some actual partitions, and then not wanting to have my Maelstrom fan clipping through the walls resulted in positioning them in the way they are now. Not wanting to waste all those tonberry mini-partitions I had purchased led to the faux "tonberry print" angle for the walls in the bedroom and the remnant division around the bathtub.
A layout based off me not wanting to waste my purchases. Sounds almost stingy, huh?
You know. I wonder how many folks actually used existing real world references for their rooms. I mean, you could probably easily get a floor plan for a house or apartment and tease some ideas out of that. Might need to scale down some due to the size of personal rooms... but it still sounds feasible.
