Chamberlain - Names and Description for Rooms in Housing and Housing minimap,

Chamberlain lets you name the rooms in your player house. When you walk into one, a gold banner shows the room's name, then fades out when you leave. The name comes from the manor officer who announced guests as they entered each room.

To name a room, stand in one corner and click Mark A, walk to the opposite corner and click Mark B, then click Create Zone and type a name. Rooms can overlap; if you put a walk-in closet inside your bedroom, the smaller one wins while you're standing in it.

There's also a floor plan window that draws all your rooms to scale, each in its own color, with a dot showing where you currently are. The A and B marks show up on it while you're creating a room, which helps with lining up rectangles. Hover a room to see its name and size if the label doesn't fit. The mouse wheel zooms and dragging an empty patch pans. The labels and your dot stay the same size.

Floors

A house with more than one floor can hold rooms on each, and a room upstairs won't fire the banner for the room under it. The game doesn't expose your height, so Chamberlain learns your floor from your stairs. Stand on lower part of stairs and put bottom stairs marker there, and a bit higher and put Top marker there and when you hit either one, it sets the floor to the one that stairs anchor is tied to For a tall shaft, fall, balcony or such, you can put a Floor marker, which is an area on every floor, and you configure it to select which floor to teleport to when entering it on any floor.

The Floor Plan has Add floor to start, up and down arrows to view each floor, and a Move to floor button for when it gets the floor wrong. If your stairs spiral or stack so one flight sits right above another, keep each flight's marks off the same spot, or they trigger each other.

More than a name

Rooms carry more than a name. Set a color for the banner and floor-plan tile, write a description, and pick a face to read it on a talking-head box. Your computer can speak the description aloud in a voice you pick, kept on your machine and sent to no one. A room marked secret stays off visitors' floor plans and room lists, but its banner still fires when they walk in.

Sharing

If you're grouped with other Chamberlain users, party or raid, you can send them your layout or request theirs, so a house only has to be mapped once. Every incoming request shows a consent dialog before anything is sent, and you can block players or houses that keep asking. Layouts you've received are listed separately from your own rooms and can be removed whenever. Sharing can also be turned off completely in the settings.

Good to know

The editing tools only show up in your own house. Ownership comes from the server, not your character name, so your alts can edit too.
If you own a house on both factions, they're tracked separately.
Floors come from the stairs you mark, not from elevation (the game does not expose elevation to addons). With no stairs marked, the house is one floor, as before.
