Furniture
Furniture are decorative items in the Animal Crossing series.
Furniture can be placed either on the floor, hung on a wall (beginning in New Leaf), hung from the ceiling (beginning in New Horizons version 2.0), placed on the ground outside (beginning in New Horizons), or placed on top of other furniture. Each item has a size in tiles that it takes up when placed, ranging from 1.0×0.5 to 3×3 in New Horizons.[nb 1] Many items that are not classified as furniture, such as gyroids, fossils, bugs, and fish, can also be placed like furniture.
In all main series games, furniture is primarily obtained from Tom Nook's store, Timmy and Tommy's store, or Nook's Cranny with some furniture being exclusive to alternative sources such as other shops, special characters, DIY, or events.
Furniture is represented by a leaf before being placed down. This is likely a reference to how in Japanese folklore, tanuki (the species of Tom Nook and the Nooklings in Japan) can transform leaves into valuable objects.

Functionality[edit]
Many furniture items can be interacted with by the player, which is typically done by pressing 'A' while in front of the item. Below are the types of interactions items can have.
- Press/toggle – The player can interact with some items to play a sound and/or animation, either temporarily or until turned off.
- Beds – Beds can be laid down by walking into them, allowing the player to sleep. In Wild World and City Folk, a bed appears in the attic, and sleeping on it allows the player to save the game. In New Horizons, beginning in version 1.4.0, laying on a bed in the player's house allows them to dream.
- Chairs – Chairs can be sat on by walking into them.
- Lights – Beginning in Wild World, lights can be toggled on and off to illuminate the area around them.
- Music players – K.K. Slider's song airchecks can be played in a music player.
- Storage – Storage units can hold items. In New Horizons, these are instead known as wardrobes, which allow the player to change their clothing and edit wand outfits.
- Surfaces – Items with surfaces can have other, smaller items placed on top of them.
- Diary – In Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+ only, diaries show a calendar and allow the player to write a diary entry for each month.
- NES game – In Doubutsu no Mori, Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+ only, NES game items allow the player to play the game represented by the item.
Collections[edit]
Some furniture items of a similar theme are categorized into collections by the Happy Home Academy. The player is awarded bonus HHA points if a complete collection is placed in a room. There are three types of collections: series, sets, and themes.
Series[edit]
Series consist of around 10 furniture items, as well as a matching wallpaper and flooring. In games before New Horizons, they contain only furniture that would be found in a home, such as beds, tables, and dressers. In New Horizons, however, any items can be part of a series.
Set[edit]
Sets consist of around two to five furniture items and do not have matching wallpaper and flooring.
Theme[edit]
Themes are similar to series, consisting of around 10 furniture items and matching wallpaper and flooring, but the furniture in themes would not typically be found in a home. In New Horizons, themes are removed, and series can now contain all furniture.
