Now let’s take a closer look at how to level up Housing in TWW.
What are Housing levels
Housing levels determine how much freedom you have when customizing your home. It primarily affects two key systems: the Interior Decor budget and the Room Placement budget, which control how many items and rooms you can place.
In addition, certain levels unlock new room types, expanding your layout options. You can always check your current level directly in the Housing dashboard, making it easy to track progress and plan how to level up your Housing level.

Tip
To make tracking easier, the Home Bound addon is highly recommended. It helps you monitor unlocked decor, legacy sources, and vendors that sell additional pieces.
There are two primary ways to increase your level: completing Housing Endeavours and unlocking decor. Housing Endeavours are not yet available and will be introduced in Midnight, so for now the focus is entirely on decor unlocks.
Unlocking decor is currently the only active method for leveling up your Player Housing level, and in many ways it simply comes from playing the game. Decor can be earned through legacy content, Legion Remix, and current patch content, all of which contribute to your overall housing progression.
Note
You’ll likely gain some levels before you even start actively collecting decor. That’s because the system tracks your overall housing progress, which is influenced by achievements, crafted decor, completed feats, and other progression milestones.
As a result, your Housing level can increase naturally as you play.
While this approach is slow, it’s reliable and steadily increases your available decor and placement budget. The fastest way to level up Housing is through crafting decor, either by crafting items yourself or purchasing them from the Auction House.
That said, crafting comes with its own grind, especially due to Lumber farming, which can be a major bottleneck since Lumber cannot be purchased from the Auction House.
How much Housing leveling I need
The short answer is that your level needs are different for everyone. For many players, reaching level 4 or 5 may be more than enough. A good general rule is to fully use your current decor and room budget first, and only then decide whether you actually need to increase your Housing level further.
If you’re looking for the exact level requirements, we’ve put together a detailed table below for easy reference.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Starting Level | Initial Room Collection (basic room shapes), Exterior Decoration unlocked | 910 | 200 | 19 |
