So, you've settled into your cozy little tent and are ready to make it a proper home? That's awesome! The first step to a bigger, better house is to head over to Nook's Homes and chat with Tom Nook. He's the guy who can help you expand your living space, adding new rooms, a basement, or even a whole second floor!

Think of it like this: your house starts as a 4x4 space, but you can keep adding onto it to make it as big as you want. Each upgrade adds more room for all those cool furniture pieces you'll be collecting.

Here's a look at the initial upgrades you can make:

Once you've got your basic house set up, the real fun begins with even more expansion options. You can choose to add a basement, a second floor, or even extend the existing rooms on your ground floor to the left, right, or back. It's all about making the space work for you and your growing collection of furniture!
