Just bought the house, any ideas on how to decorate? And tips too cause placing objects is a [censored].

Playing on 360.

Even though placing objects can be time-consuming, I suggest you avoid placing things like critters in jars, skulls, or bottles, and try some that are easier to place, like dragon claws, clothing, etc. Also, I'm not sure if Breezehome has a bookshelf, so if it does, place some books on them. They're the prettiest decorations out there.

'Kay, trying to remember things that I did in my other houses (I never decorated Breezehome).
Another thing to do is to place your pretty weapons in the racks. I recommend putting weak, but nice-looking weapons there. Or just some unique rewards that you don't want to use. Also, remove the stuff from the bedroom weapon plaque (two weapons and a shield) and put your own there.
Those are all small things, but things like that make the house a home, and make it look more personalized for your character.

If you want to place some weapons, like Arcona Cor suggested, you can add new shield and weapons on the wall too. I made it and put Dwarven Shield and weapons in the bedroom.

I still wake up at night with cold sweats after trying to position a Dibella statue the way I wanted in Breezehome. There are some console commands below that may help if you are playing on the PC, I find the most useful command is actually markfordelete when decorating.

Decorating related Console Commands

Just a little reminder about some of object related console commands.

markfordelete : click on an object you want to remove, leave/enter or save/load an area to delete the marked object
placeatme [object-id] : while in console click an item and it will place item [object-id] next to it
player.placeatme [object-id] : places item [object-id] at your feet, facing front
twf : toggle wireframe view to view problems with objects
tcl : in this context you can use no clipping mode to place objects at walls or in air.

Positioning

Note: [axis] resembles the x,y,z axis for 3d positioning.

getpos [axis] : returns the position in axis value of the selected object – getpos x
setpos [axis] [value] = sets the position of the selected object – setpos z 200
getangle [axis] = returns the angle of the selected object – getangle y
setangle [axis] [value] = sets the angle of the selected object – setangle x 45
rotate [axis] [value] = rotates the selected object manually – rotate x 45

As a general rule for decorating any home:

Drop all the items you want to use as decorations out of your inventory onto the floor. Exit the home. Re-enter the home and pick up the items by pressing and holding the action button ("E" on pc) so the item floats in front of you. Don't put it back in your inventory. Place the item wherever you like.

If you don't do that, every time you come back to your house anything you will have placed previously will be strewn about.

you MUST do what he suggested.

let's pray this bug is fixed with the next patch.
