Home decorating—it’s an art! And it’s also a big part of life in Animal Crossing. With so many different furniture items out there (just check the next chapter), it’s important to know a little about how to properly decorate your home.
Placing Furniture
While you could just toss your furniture anywhere in your home, why not devote a little effort to designing the ideal living space? Let’s start with the basics: open your pockets and select any piece of furniture, then choose to either drop, place, or display it.
After you’ve placed some furniture, make sure it’s in the right spot. Most stuff should be pressed against walls to keep the room’s center free of clutter. Simply stand near any piece of furniture in your home and hold
to grab it. While grabbing onto a piece of furniture, use the Circle Pad to spin it or move it around.
Interactive Items
Furniture isn’t just for looks, you know—many items are usable. Stand before any piece of furniture and tap # to interact with it (if possible). Let’s explore some of the most common functional furniture.
Storage Items
Furniture such as closets, dressers, wardrobes, and armoires are designed to hold items for you. Open any of these objects to find that you can store quite a lot of stuff inside.
Beds, Sofas and Chairs
Any furniture with a seat can be sat upon—just move into contact to take a load off. The same goes for beds—move into contact to hop onto the mattress and get a little shut-eye.
Electronics
Many electronic items can be turned on and used for a variety of benefits. TVs can be turned on and watched, stereos can play your K.K. Slider tunes, and so on. Be sure to check them out!
