I know what @Galtakie is pointing out, he is wishing way more optical stuff.
But as @Xzait, it is already possible to place storages outside, all what is missing is a different look of things.
That we just have limited looks of stuff is caused on the state of the game.
It is just an Alpha and we just have basic stuff, not even decorations.
But even decorations are already in game, but just not accessible for player yet.
When all core mechanics are implemented and the Devs find time to polish the game, i am quite sure, we will get way more options to make our houses and towns cozy and looking nice.
Look, cosmetical things are planned
