So a file relating to PlayerHousing is in Cata PTR atm (Interface/AddOns/Blizzard_APIDocumentationGenerated/PlayerHousingConstantsDocumentation.lua) and I thought I'd maybe go over it a little and offer some theories / analysis about each section. This is the full text from the file - ThreadSky

So I think it's worth noting that everything is basically subject to change. These are autogenerated tables, possibly off/for some established options in an interface. Many of these things are likely for button filters and the like.

Also there's a "Housing Exterior Component Theme" only lists "Human" - that definitely isn't going to be the case, but it's likely that's just the only thing categorized atm, for a few likely reasons later, but also just because this is specifically not a repeat of garrisons.

The type of objects appears to range between Decor and Components. Decor would be things like tables, weapons, chairs, beds, lamps, etc. while components are walls, floors, ceilings, stairs, pillars. Some have functionality like doorways, which come in large/narrow.

There's a few little things like decor theme that classify into none/folk/rugged/generic/opulent. I'm not sure exactly what that is, but it could be a replacement for categorizing things by race, which would make things more future-proof. So like "Elven" style would go into opulent.

There appears to be various decor types, which include floor, wall, ceiling, and tabletop. I'm not sure if that means you can only place them there, or if it's simply their "intended" placement. I would assume many wall-type decor is only compatible on a wall component.

There's an exterior component size category for any/small/medium/large, but that remains to be seen what that could even remotely be. Maybe you could throw a windmill outside, maybe it's just for lamps, maybe fake windows, who knows. It's possible most objects in UI are previewed without scale
