There are two possible components of a piece of furniture that may be customizable: body or pattern. A body customization lets the player change the furniture's appearances from a list of options.

In, furniture customization is done by speaking to Cyrus at Re-Tail. Cyrus's services are unlocked after the player has lived in town for at least seven days, sold at least 100,000 Bells-worth of items at Re-Tail, cataloged at least 100 furniture items, and cataloged at least 50 clothing items.

If the player speaks to Cyrus while a customizable furniture item is in their pockets, they can have it customized for 10% of its buy price. Once the player selects the body and/or pattern variation, Cyrus takes the item and after 30 minutes, the customization is completed. Additionally, if the player has an ore in their pockets while customizing a compatible item, they can choose to have the item's body variation customized based on the selected ore.
