Pro Decorating License

Learn how to get the Pro Decorating License in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! This guide covers unlocking the tool, using accent walls, and hanging ceiling fixtures.

Hey there! So, you're looking to really spruce up your place in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, huh? That's awesome! The Pro Decorating License is a total game-changer for making your home feel truly yours. It lets you do two super cool things: assign accent walls to any room, so you can have one wall with a different wallpaper, and hang decorations or lights from your ceiling. Imagine having a cozy lamp or some neat decor hanging down – it really adds another layer of customization!

This license is also a big deal if you've picked up the Happy Home Paradise DLC. It'll give you even more freedom to create those dream homes for your clients. So, let's get this unlocked!

How to Unlock the Pro Decorating License

First things first, make sure you've downloaded the Version 2.0 Update for the game. Once that's done, you'll want to head over to the Town Hall and use the Nook Stop terminal inside. You're looking for the 'Redeem Nook Miles' option. The Pro Decorating License will be available for purchase there for 2,500 Nook Miles. It's a pretty small price to pay for all the decorating potential it unlocks!

How to Use the Pro Decorating License

Once you've got your shiny new license, head back to your house. The game will give you a quick rundown of what you can do. Let's break down how to use those new features:

Making an Accent Wall

Want one wall to really pop? Here's how to make an accent wall:

1. Enter your house and go into decorating mode.
2. Use the button prompt (it'll be shown on screen, usually related to selecting items).
3. Select the wallpaper you want to use for your accent wall.
4. Press the button prompt (again, shown on screen, often for placing items) to apply the wallpaper to just the single wall you're facing.

Remember, you can only have one accent wall per room, but you can change it up whenever you like! Just turn your camera to face the wall you want to make the accent wall and repeat the process.

Hanging Ceiling Fixtures

Ready to add some flair to your ceiling? It's pretty straightforward:

1. First, you'll need items that are designed to hang from the ceiling. You can find these at Nook's Cranny, or sometimes you can craft them if you've learned the right DIY recipes. Keep an eye on Nook's Cranny daily for new items, and make sure you're collecting those DIYs!

2. You have two ways to place these:
• Automatic Placement: Simply select the ceiling-appropriate item from your inventory and click to place it.
• Manual Placement: Open up decorating mode, switch to 'ceiling mode' (there's usually a specific button for this), and then you can manually place the fixture exactly where you want it.

This is a fantastic way to add lighting or just some extra decorative touches to your rooms. Have fun experimenting!
