Project Items is a collaborative wiki project covering anything related to in-game items, such as furniture, clothing, wallpapers, flooring, and tools.

Members can be viewed at the members list. If you would like to join, simply add yourself to the list.

Purpose
Project Items primarily deals with the maintenance of various furniture, clothing, wallpapers, flooring, tools, and other items under the Item namespace. The project also concerns itself with pages that organize items based on series, set, theme, and categories, on their properties (e.g. color, HHA theme), or their function (bed, clock etc.). These item pages are linked via a Cargo installation in order to store and query all of our item data. More information on this effort can be found at Project Database.

Themes
Most Theme pages are missing images. Due to the similarity of the item models from and  it's been decided to use the HHD icons instead of trying to source  item images. Remember that all themes also have a corresponding floor and wallpaper.

Sets
Most Set pages are missing images. Due to the similarity of the item models from and  it's been decided to use the HHD icons instead of trying to source  item images. Some of the items that were part of a set in became customizable in  and so they do not have an HHD image associated with them. In these cases the image will have to be sourced from a CF guide or from a gameplay screenshot.

Furniture function
These articles list furniture by function. Most are not updated to list information from all games, are missing items from some games, have empty sections, or are using outdated templates.

Furniture color and Feng Shui
Feng Shui is the practice of placing furniture of certain colors in different areas of a room in order to produce different types of luck. Prior to, only furniture which counted towards Feng Shui was given a color designation. The possible color values in these games are, , , Special or None. These are noted under the Feng Shui column in these tables because color does not effect anything else.

The Animal Crossing games since Wild World have a specific dual color designation for most furniture. For instance, the Stripe Lamp is categorized as Aqua and White. Some furniture have only one color, while others like the Sleek Bed have two, in this case Black and Black, or Black (x2). While the vast majority of furniture have two color designations, some furniture have one or no color designation. The colors are important as they influence HHA ratings and are referenced when a villager asks for a certain color of furniture. Each villager also has a preference for a certain color and theme for furniture.

The color designations are as follows:, , , , , , , , , , , , , Black

Although determining furniture color is generally straightforward,be sure to check out the furniture lists in the external links below to determine for sure.

Furniture master lists
These pages list all items in a given game. Only one has been created so far and has no images. It can be updated with images from at Category:E+ Items. Some models or textures may be different between games however, so this would need to be verified first.

Capitalization
Rules regarding item capitalization were formally addressed in a proposal in November 2022. Users agreed to use the in-game capitalization for item names (e.g., blue chair, sea bass). As of the moment, only series, themes, sets, and categories are to be left properly capitalized.

Tables
Tables make up the bulk of most furniture articles. And we don't mean the ones you put your silly computer on. The box below lists some basic wikitext code used to construct a table. Nookipedia uses templates that incorporate these elements, so you don't need to worry about including them when editing furniture articles. However it's still helpful to know what this code does in the event you need to work with raw table coding.

Table templates
When creating a table of furniture items, it's important to know what templates to use to generate the tables. Nookipedia uses a template using TableTop to create a collapsible container for the table and generates the table's column header labels. Following this, if there is Cargo data for the game in question, declare a Cargo table using. The table needs to have  under , have   set to  , and use a a Cargo display template for. This also necessitates the need to declare fields for the table to format properly. If no Cargo data exists for a game, you can use TableContent and manually add the data in. Finally, a TableFooter can be added to close the table, and may be used to add a note value based on the need for attribution. For more info on how to use them, be sure to visit their corresponding template page for documentation or check Project Items/Table Templates.
