Gaia Online FAQ Homes







What are Gaia Homes?


Gaia Homes is a way for you to build your own Home, customize your Home, and place your Home inside Gaia Towns. You can then invite your friends over to your Home and have a party!

How do I get started?


To start building your Home, visit Josie at the Housing Commission. Josie will guide you through selecting a Home style, finding a place for your Home in Gaia Towns, and customizing your Home using the Housing Arranger.

Can I change the way my house looks from the outside?


You can change your house to a different floor plan. At only 1000 Gaia Gold to do so, it’s a bargain at TWICE the price - just ask any contractor.

Can I make my home bigger?


You can upgrade the size of the INSIDE of your Home (for a fee). Visit the Housing Commission and choose the “upgrade” option on the right-hand menu.

Where can I buy furniture?


You can buy furniture for your house from The Faktori, which is the furniture store in Aekea. The store is fully automated and manned by robots! (get it? MANed…… ugh, yeah. Not a good joke. At least you don’t have to assemble the furniture yourself)


You can also buy “used” furniture from the Gaia Marketplace.

How do I put furniture in my home?


Navigate to Aekea Housing Commission. Click Arrange Furniture and follow the instructions. You will need to first move items from your inventory into your Suitcase. Once you SAVED your progress, click Arrange My Home

Can I move my Home once I choose a place for it?

Can I change my Home style once I’ve already picked one?


You can change your Home style, but there is a small fee to do so. Visit the Housing Commission and choose the CHANGE STYLE option on the right-hand menu. Your Home’s style is seen from the outside and there are three options to choose from.

How do I use the housing editor?


The housing editor allows you to arrange your furniture and other items that you have chosen to move into your suitcase. It also allows you to place any friends that you’ve invited into your home:


The housing editor looks like this:

Gaia Online FAQ Homes



  • The Edit/View button allow to go from Edit mode to view mode. View locks the items and shows you what your house will look like to a visitor. You can turn the global lights on and off from the view screen.
  • The Tiles button will show you your floor and walls and allow you to select different finishes, colors and available for them.
  • The Friends Palette is the red icon with the two people on it. It allows you to place friends inside your home.
  • The Inventory Icon contains the items that you can place inside your home. It has three tabs: Wall, Floor and Miscellaneous. Any items you previously placed in your suitcase will be assigned to one of those three tabs.
  • The Eye is the Show Button. If you click on it once, the room will go into blend mode — a semi-transparent mode that allows you to see items that may have been placed behind each other and as a result, hidden from view. Click on it again and the room will be placed in hide mode. Hide does exactly that: Hides all the items and people so that you can see the floor and wall textures.
  • The Clear Room Icon allows you to remove all items from the room and gives you a blank slate — so to speak — and make a clean start.


Every time you place an item in your home, you are given the choice to rotate it. Try different angles for a different look (and different flows of Chi. How Feng Shui!)


When you’re happy with what your room looks like, the Save Button will commit any changes you’ve made to your house. These settings will load back every time you re-load your home.

Can people take items from my home while I’m away?


No. All items in your home are locked. Visitors can look at your home, but cannot change placement of items and are certainly not allowed to take any of your items or furniture. That would just be rude!

Can I lock my house?


Yes you can. Simply enable Lock Home from the Account link of your profile page. Users in Gaia Towns cannot enter locked homes.
