In New Horizons

In New Horizons, if Hornsby is one of the villagers who moved in during the main storyline after the villager house development quest, his house will have a combination of non-craftable furniture, plus items crafted by players during the island development storyline, primarily from the Log Series and applicable native fruit sets.

With the version 1.6.0 update, the Pile of Zen Cushions directly left of the entrance was moved to the west side of the house, and the Stacked Magazines directly right of the entrance was moved to the east side of his house, making it easier for the player to navigate around.
