What spells would you use to spruce up your castle/tower/house?

[47948201]

Specifically to make it more comfortable/enjoyable to live in. I'm talking stuff like continual flame for light, or stone shape to carve out, like... a statue of yourself to admire, I dunno, I don't know you.

There are a few natively permanent illusion spells, like Permanent Image, that could be nice. Have a permanent holograph portrait of a relative, or maybe one that looks like a fountain, I'm not too clear on the limits of what's valid.
