Floating Islands are bizarre places: a chunk of ground suspended in air with mysterious house. Why not make it more bizarre? My suggestion is: Vertigo House. It's like normal sky house, but will appear only one per world and be... upside-down. It would look like this: (please, ignore the fact that it's actually normal house with gravitation effect
)
That silver banana on the door is supposed to be moon
As you can see, the furniture is also upside-down and it uses silver/purple theme, rather than gold/blue. It doesn't have any special purpose, it's just a strange house on bottom of the island, instead of the normal one.
BUT, the furniture is unique. Instead of being placed on the floor, like normal furniture would, this one is placed ON CEILING. Yes, it's an upside-down furniture. It is called "Vertigo Furniture Set", so we have Vertigo Bed, Vertigo Door, Vertigo Chest, etc. Beside it's unique placement, it has additional effect of increased function range, meaning you can interact with it from greater distance. It's that so you don't have hook to ceiling just to use workbench, because your room is high. The furniture is sky/moon themed as opposite to Skyware sky/sun.
The houses are made of Moonplate Block
. It's used at Skymill to create Vertigo Furniture.
And the chests in houses have their normal loot, but wit addition of 1-2 Gravitation Potions (and two items described below).
And for the banners on the image, the Gravity Banner could be inverted, being the floor standing banner. I should have removed the World Banner from concept screenshot as it's not part of this suggestion
Expanded idea
Originally this topic covered only what is above. But it pleases for more gravity-related content.
Anti-Gravel
The anti-gravity gravel. So clever. It appears in large ammounts at the island with vertigo house. It's like sand, but falls upwards. It can't be used as elevator and will make you suffocate when you are trapped. It's also a material for some gravity-themed items, which are crafted at Workbench (or Skymill?).
Since each world has one Vertigo island, it's a very limited resource. Thus, it has a crafting recipe:
3x
+
= 2x
(Crafted at
Blend-O-Matic)
Gravity Glowstick
Like normal glowstick, but instead falls upwards.
Crafting: 3x
+
= 3x
Gravity Bomb
Bomb falling upwards with slightly bigger 110 damage.
Crafting:
+

Gravity Arrow
Again, arrow that will rather fly up than fall. Their damage is 9.
Crafting: 10x
+
= 10x
Anti-Gravity Arrow
This arrow won't fall, flying straight it's way. It applies also Upfall debuff. 15 damage.
Crafting: 25x
+
= 25x
Anti-Gravity Bullet
10 damage, applies Upfall.
Crafting: 50x
+
= 50x
Vertical Hammer
Damage: 40
Use time: 20
Knockback: 15
Special effect: It will send enemies flying very high vertically. Enemies will take damage from falling and won't de-spawn until they return on-screen (so propelling them out of screen won't cause de-spawn). Additional trait is that its swung in opposite direction than other weapons: from down to up.
Crafting:
+ 50x

at
/
And these are the two items that appear in Vertigo Chest:
Gravity Staff
Mana: 50
Use Time: 40
Effect: When used, will create an anti-gravity field at the cursor with 4-5 block radius. Enemies caught in the field, will get Upfall debuff making them fly upwards for few seconds and then they take damage from falling down.
Note: It may look like axe, but it was supposed to be two opposite arrows representing it's gravity control effect (yay for my spriting skills).
Super Glue
Accessory
Effect: Allows to place any furniture on ceiling.
Note: Suggested by @Baconfry . Personally I think that vertigo set should be unique, but I'll just leave it here.
Upfall
"You are falling in wrong direction!"
Debuff caused by Anti-Gravity Arrow/Bullet/Staff. Just like gravitation, but can't be controlled. Maybe there should be also an enemy inflicting this.
