The recent update to Animal Crossing New Horizons has introduced even more options for customizing your island. Much of this focuses on customizing your house, with everything from new fences to wallpapers. One very interesting feature is the ability to create an accent wall.

Anyone who is not up on interior decorating may not know what one of these is. The accent wall is a wall in a room that has an interesting or bright pattern or wallpaper, while the rest stay the same. You can now do this in Animal Crossing, but first of all, you need a Pro Decorating License.

This license will also allow you the ability to hang light fittings from the ceiling as well. To buy the license, head to the Resident Services Building. You will find the license at the Nook Stop. It costs 2500 Nook Miles.

Get the wallpaper you want to use as your accent wall. When you are in the room you want to decorate, press down on the D-Pad. You will enter decorating mode. From here, hit the plus button and you will be able to select a wall. Click on the wallpaper in your pocket using X, then find the accent wall option on the menu. This will add the paper to the chosen wall.

Removing it is as simple. When you go back into decorating mode, your wallpaper should have a blue tick on it. All you have to do is press X on the wallpaper icon. This will remove wallpaper from the accent wall.

    So go the decorate mode and at the top left it should show three options of buttons. Click the one that is your home inventory, (which should be the arrow pointing to the right) and scroll all the way to the wallpaper tab. (It should show you the wallpapers you are currently using with a blue or white check mark) Then click ‘X’ on the wallpaper you want removed.

    What is the D-pad. Some how I got this horrible accent wall up, it won’t let me cover it and I can’t figure out how to get into decorating mode or what the d-pad is to get it off!

      Firstly, the D-pad is the group of buttons on the bottom left controller. Secondly, in order to get to decorating mode you push the down button on the d-pad. Next you’ll want to push the right button on the d-pad which will bring up your storage. If you go down to the wallpaper section, you can click X on any wallpaper and make that the accent wall, or click X on the current accent wallpaper to get rid of it.
