* ''[[Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance]]'' had a room which you could decorate. It didn't fit with the rest of the game very well (and doesn't make sense character wise, Juste, as a Belmont, is in a position to know the castle will disappear/fall apart when he's done) . It's a borderline example, ~~though -- you~~ couldn't choose the placement of the items.

** ''[[Castlevania: Curse of Darkness]]'' is the next in line for this, except that you only have chairs to decorate your room.

* ''[[Overlord]]'' offered a limited version of this with your tower, once you had upgraded or bought an item that was pretty much it with only the flags capable of switching.

* ''[[City of Heroes]]'' lets you decorate your Supergroup base as you see fit, with both functional and purely decorative items. This may end up costing a lot, especially for solo and small group attempts.

* In ''[[EVE Online]]'', you (or your corporation, which is pretty much a clan) have the ability to buy and anchor a player-owned starbase, abbreviated POS, starting with a control tower. You can then add on modules such as turrets, auxiliary power arrays, shipyards, refineries, or moon miners, as well as other things.

Line 110:

** If you let your mom keep half your money, she will occasionally use it to buy an item for your room.

** ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]''/''Emerald'' let you not only decorate your room (with dolls), but also a "Secret Base" in a tree, cave, or bush, which you could fill with tables, chairs, mats, toys, plants, and other various decorative items. If you "mixed records" with friends, you could also visit their bases and battle them.

** In ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]''/''Platinum'', you still have a Secret ~~Base--but~~ now it's underground, and there are more furniture options. Bases are also now used for a Capture the Flag mini-game.

*** ''Platinum'' added a Resort House with different furniture from the bases. Your in-game friends occasionally come visit you there.

** In ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'', they took out the room decoration as featured in the original game, and instead allow you to customize the Safari Zone by putting items in it to your liking. Some of the items summon or increase the odds of finding certain Pokémon; other items are purely decorative.

** In ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'', the Dream World allows you to decorate your Pokémon's home with various furniture.

* In ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'' you can customize your entire base with either a Western or Eastern feel, including fountains and what kind of food is served in the mess hall.

* The [[Suikoden I|first]] ''[[Suikoden]]'' game let you customize a few areas of your castle, mainly the bathroom. Later games follow this ~~trend -- you~~ can hang paintings and wall scrolls, place statues, plants and pottery, all in the designated areas...

** In ''[[Suikoden IV]]'', the player even ''recruits'' Penelo, an interior designer who promptly takes over a room on your [[Memetic Mutation|Nice Boat]] and lets you spruce it up with furniture, wallpaper and carpet... and putting together a full set nets you special comments from certain characters.

* In the SNES RPG ''[[Terranigma]]'', you can buy a house and kit it out with increasingly fancy furniture. This serves no useful purpose to the game, except that you can sleep in the bed (which worked as a free inn).

Line 156:

* ''[[Terraria]]'' actually requires you to decorate your house with reasonably sized rooms that contain at least a chair and table in order for helpful NPCs (who sell you equipment) to move in. In general the game gives you a lot of freedom for decoration, but most items have an ingame purpose as well as just looking nice.

* Any and all room planner software, anywhere, ever. You start out just trying to rearrange the apartment, but you just give up and just started making 1 Awesome Drive.
