I searched around a bit and I didn't see anyone else talking about this, so here is my idea for household storage:

In Fallout 3, I would take unique weapons and armor and put it in one locker as a kind of trophy storage case. I never bothered to manually arrange my prizes because it took a lot of time and I could knock them over in the tight room space or they would glitch and bang around on the floor. They had the right idea with the bobblehead stand; a place that automatically takes a certain type or category of item and displays it in a tasteful manner. It would be simular to the display cases in Oblivion Elder Scrolls, except you wouldn't manually place an item in the case.

My proposal is this: in the various homes you may get, have storage containers that automatically display weapons you deposit into them. So if you put your guns into a 5 slot gun rack, the top 5 guns of your choosing would physically appear on the rack and can even be removed directly from the rack, bypassing inventory. Different displays handled different items:

• Armor Stands for clothing or power armor (like in fallout 3
  
• Busts for helmets
  
• Bookshelves for misc items (Wasteland Survival guide, food)
  
• Medicine Cabinet for heath and aid items
  
• A center podium for one special item your proud of

This would be great for pack rats like me who horde all the unique and obsolete items and like to display a few of them without messing with manual placing physics.

Yup, that's been discussed over several 'house' threads. Try "showcases" in the search field.

My bad
