Loftia Housing Guide: Decorating, Islands, and Neighborhoods

Evidence status: Confirmed by official descriptions and patch notes. Energy costs are press reports. Last checked: November 9, 2026.

What do you own in Loftia?

You create your own floating island with a home on it. Qloud Games promises a very wide range of decoration styles for both the house and the island, and Early Access adds many more decorative options than the demo had.

How does decorating work?

• Decorating mode lets you place, move, rotate, and stash items. Grid snapping can be turned off for freer layouts.
• Energy cost. TheGamer reports placing a couch or bed costs 3 charges and a shelf 2. See the energy guide.
• Building Permits from Amani raise how many objects fit on your plot.
• Where to get items: Estella, the Furniture and Decoration Expert; Milo’s shop (walls, arches, beams, and later island decorations, priced in Bloom); quest and World Project rewards; and optional Backer Boutique cosmetics.

Players report that Estella and Linda “take inspiration” from crops you bring, which unlocks new furniture and clothing designs.

What are neighborhoods?

You can link up with others to form neighborhoods, shared spaces where everyone decorates, farms, and crafts together. Players reported a hot-air balloon on Windmill Island in the Hanging Gardens during the closed beta as a quick way to return to your neighborhood or visit a friend’s. That may differ in Early Access.

Share Boxes

Share Boxes let neighbors leave items for each other. Patch Notes #1 limited Share Boxes to one per island. If you already had more, you can still move the existing ones.

What is House Showcase?

House Showcase is a decorating contest mode where houses are shown and results checked later. It had several loading bugs:

• Demo patches fixed being sent to the login screen when checking results and problems collecting rewards.
• Patch Notes #1 fixed an endless loading screen when returning to a House Showcase, usually when checking results. Qloud Games called this one tricky and asked players to report it if it continues.

If it still happens to you, see known issues.

Decorating tips

1. Plan the layout before placing, because every placement costs energy.
2. Leave space for stations and planters before decorating heavily. See crafting and refining.
3. Check for wall-placement fixes. Demo Patch #3 made banners and wall decorations place reliably.
