DA, but I'm a big supporter of foreground items. They're one of the things I really hope we get someday. We have a ton of apparel that are basically just copypasted (like flower falls, auras, etc.) that could easily be adapted (probably by making totally new-but-actually-the-same items, not actually converting the existing ones to it for logistics reasons).
If they were just one-off art pieces (not edited to fit different breeds), it would be a low-effort way to spruce up moderns AND ancients (and hopefully permababies) and be a nice compromise between people who want something extra for ancients while still reducing the associated work load of new breeds (ancient and modern).
Plus they could probably expand the type of items beyond just 'apparel'. If they wanted to add, say, a desk item, that would be odd as apparel - but totally reasonable as a foreground item (or something along those lines - I don't know how many people want to sit their dragon behind a desk lol). Lots of cool possibilities.

Also DA. Foreground or even simple background items would be amazing. Treasure/coin piles. Chests. Flower pots. Clouds. Flight themed environment pieces - snow drifts, crystal shards, broken pillars. Cauldrons, potion bottles, camp fires. Crates, piles of scrolls. Baskets of yarn balls with knitting needles. Coli foreground items - bamboo, bubbles, vines. There are so many directions they could go with it.

Permababies are definitely a good point (and could be handled the same way as ancients, eventually, with similar coding). Considering things like pets, the NotN book piles, and the new achievement shop treasure hoards that already exist as apparel, I wouldn't consider it particularly weird to have any of the things you describe classified as such either, but I'd love to see them somehow as well. (I think pretty much anything would need to be pose-adapted to some degree though.)
