Discover how to get unique Museum and Island Carpets in Animal Crossing: New Leaf! Learn about their HHA themes and styles to decorate your home.

Hey there! So, you're looking to spruce up your place in Animal Crossing: New Leaf with some special carpets, huh? Let's talk about the ones you can snag from island tours and by donating to the museum. They're a bit different from your usual store-bought stuff, and some even give you a nice boost in the Happy Home Academy (HHA) contests!

First up, let's look at the Island Gifts. These are carpets you can get through island tours. They're pretty neat because they often tie into specific HHA themes or styles:

FurnitureHHA ThemeStyleMedals
Cabana FlooringOrientalSafe40
Mermaid FloorFairytaleFancy40
Tropical FloorNoneSporty100

See that 'Tropical Floor'? Getting 100 medals for that one is a sweet deal if you're aiming for a specific vibe. The others are good too, especially if you're going for 'Oriental' or 'Fairytale' themes.

Now, for the Museum Gifts. These are a little trickier to get. You typically get them as rewards for donating to the museum, which means filling up those exhibit rooms! They also come with their own HHA themes and styles, so keep an eye on those when you're decorating:

FurnitureHHA ThemeStyleBuying Price
Dig-Site FloorNoneSporty1600
Exhibit-Room FloorNoneSafeN/A
Jungle FloorNoneSporty1600
Museum FloorNoneTraditional2000
Paintball FloorHobbyModern1600
Underwater FloorNoneSporty1600

A few things to note here: the 'Exhibit-Room Floor' is listed as 'N/A' for buying price, which usually means you can't just buy it from a shop – it's a special reward. The others have a buying price listed, but remember, these are often rewards for donating, not items you'll find in Nook's Cranny. The 'Museum Floor' is the priciest at 2000 bells, but hey, it's the 'Museum Floor'!

Tips
  • Keep donating to the museum! The more you donate, the more exhibits you unlock, and the better your chances of getting these special floors.
  • Pay attention to the HHA themes and styles listed. They're super helpful if you're trying to score big in the HHA contests. Matching the theme can give you a huge point boost!
