Furniture

Furniture are decorative items in the.

Furniture can be placed either on the floor, hung on a wall (beginning in ), hung from the ceiling (beginning in version ), placed on the ground outside (beginning in ), 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. 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 or Timmy and Tommy's store, with some furniture being exclusive to alternative sources such as other shops, special characters, or events.

Furniture is represented by a leaf before being placed down. This is likely a reference to how in, tanuki (the species of Tom Nook and the Nooklings in Japan) can transform leaves into valuable objects.
