Style packs: furnish a palazzo room in one go

The palazzo at Ta' Xbiex has thirteen rooms across two floors, and furnishing them a piece at a time takes a while. Style packs let you furnish a room in one go: a matching set of furniture, arranged for that room, that you can see standing in it before you pay.

How it works

Open Buy at the palazzo and tap 🪄 Packs. It starts with the room you're standing in and tells you how furnished it is. The chips underneath switch to any other room on that floor.

Each kind of room has three packs: two standard and one luxury. Tap 👀 See it in the room and the camera frames the room with the pack's pieces standing in it, nothing paid yet. Then:

• Buy and the pieces stay exactly where you saw them.
• Put it back and the room goes back to how it was. Try another pack, or another room.

The pieces are arranged round what's already there. They go against the walls first, never block a doorway, and never wall off any part of the room. If a piece has nowhere left to go, it goes into storage, so you can place it yourself.

What they cost

Standard packs are €1,500 to €2,500 and luxury packs €4,000 to €6,000, in game euros. A pack is never a bad deal: its pieces, bought one by one, always add up to at least its price. Luxury packs come in a finish (Marble & Brass or Smoked Oak), and every piece is yours to move, recolour or sell like anything else you buy.

The palazzo collection

The packs brought twenty new pieces with them, and you can buy each one on its own from Buy's Luxury tab, in any home they fit:

• To sleep in: the walnut & linen bed (€970) and the bronze canopy bed (€1,150), with velvet drapes.
• To sit on: a gaming sofa with a light strip underneath, a charcoal cinema sofa, a tan leather club chair, a burgundy velvet recliner and an oxblood Chesterfield.
• To keep things in: the walnut armoire and the bronze & glass wardrobe, your clothes on show like a boutique.
• To eat and cook at: a walnut refectory table, a glass & bronze dining table, a walnut kitchen island and a racing-green range cooker.
• The rest: a partners' desk, a bronze vanity, a limestone bathtub, a courtyard fountain, a walnut console, iron lanterns and a two-tier crystal chandelier.

Beds, sofas, the bath, the cooker and the desk work like any other of their kind.

The rooms

There are packs for the master suite and guest rooms, the dressing room, the games room, the bathrooms, the kitchen, the dining room, the library, the cinema, the courtyard and the entrance hall. The games room's luxury pack has the snooker table; the arcade pack has the Bus Rush and Merge Drop cabinets.

Fully furnished

Every room shows how furnished it is: a bed, somewhere to put clothes, a light and a rug make a bedroom, for example. Fill a room and you'll see ✨ fully furnished. Fill every room in the house and you get 🏆. The whole house at the bottom of Packs lists every room and how far along it is.

Where it fits

Style packs are part of the palazzo, the top home on the ladder; the palazzo's guide covers its floors, rooms and who can go upstairs. Once it's furnished, the court and the garden's games are ready for a house party. One step down the ladder is the sky penthouse at Pender Place.
