Housing Items Issues

So I have started to furnish my home in Sacrament and bought 4 of the Elegant Candles. I place them thinking it would add some nice light to the space.

Nope.

I just spend a bunch of coin on unlit candles that should have a “pleasant glow”

Also when I pick up a chest to rearrange it DO NOT put all the items into my inventory by default. This is none sensical from a QOL perspective but fully immersive for the most hated human activity I have of MOVING. It is not fun to pack all the items into your bags, move the chest and then put it all back when I want it some place else.
