There are a surprising amount of games that let you build and place furniture around a house, mansion, or post apocalyptic hovel of your own. No matter if you’re an interior designer in your own life, or it just relaxes you, here are some furniture building games that you may enjoy.
9Home Improvisation
Ever made a coffee table from Ikea? Ever wanted to do that online without directions? If you said yes, or were curious about why that was a question: then Home Improvisation is the game for you.
The concept of this game is simple. You get a big pile of parts, and you get to build the furniture to fill an entire house.
The game is just rather silent on how to do so. It’s a weird mix of interior design and puzzle game, but if that mix sounds like a fun time then this game is perfect. It’s like moving into your first dorm room, minus the heavy lifting part.
8Terraria
Survive, fight horrendous monsters, and even build a house of your own.Terrariahas everything you could ever want.
It’s an open world for you to explore, and while it may seem like building a pixilated house in a hostile world wouldn’t be fun, you’d be quite wrong. Going out and scavenging for materials to build a prepper’s mansion is actually quite a blast.
It never gets old, as you always have something new to do from fighting, exploring, or especially decorating.
7Fallout 76
You wouldn’t think that post-apocalyptic Appalachia isthe place to settle down, but that’s where you’d be wrong. The survivors and vault-dwellers of the area need homes too.

It’s all here for you to build and decorate any way you want. you may even get married and adopt a child too!
5Grounded
Living through a “Honey I Shrunk The Kids” moment isn’t all bad surprisingly. True, inGroundedthere are plenty of hostile arachnids to deal with, but you can build a house out of leaves and grass too.
So maybe life isn’t all that bad. You’d be surprised how well you can furnish a shelter with a little bit of elbow grease and some grass planks.
While survival and getting back to normal size is probably your priority, it’s not a bad idea to take some time and build a cozy place to sleep. Now that’s a tiny home.
4House Flipper
Decorating a house is only part of the life of a professional House Flipper. Although, it’s by far the least strenuous part.
In this simulation game, you’ll begin your career as a house flipper, turning old and decrepit properties into dream houses. To do so you’ll need to tear down walls, rip up floorboards, and even scrape paint.
But, in the end, you get to place your finely selected furniture before standing back and marveling at your craft.
