Designs are used for clothing, umbrellas, hats, carpeting, and wallpaper, but they can be dropped on the ground. This will prevent weeds from sprouting in the area where the pattern is dropped, but it can also block flowers from growing there, and cause fruit and balloon presents to disappear if there is not enough space for them to land. The player can also display them in their house as a painting, use it as wallpaper and flooring, and hang pictures of the design on the wall.

In, players can put a design on their front door; as of now, it is the only game in the series that lets them do so. They can display any of their designs in the tailor, and villagers in the player's town may wear them. If players over Wi-Fi visit another player's town, they may also obtain any of the designs displayed in the shop.

Pro Designs

In New Leaf, this fee has increased to 500 bells.

In, the play may redeem 800 Nook Miles to upgrade the Custom Designs app on their Nook Phone.

QR codes
New Leaf includes a new feature, which generates QR codes from both regular and pro designs. Once players speak to Sable enough times, the Able Sisters provide a new sewing machine the player can use. This sewing machine generates QR codes from designs to let other players scan them and use them. QR codes are stored in the SD card. Normal designs use one QR code, but pro designs use four codes.

e-Reader Designs
These designs are available as part of the Animal Crossing-e series. Scanning a design card will show the corresponding design on the Game Boy Advance alongside Sable's comment. If the game is linked to the e-reader, the design will be added to the game.
