Learn how to decorate Eloise's 'My Relaxing Reading Room' in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Discover required items and design ideas to create a cozy space.

Hey there! Ready to help Eloise create her dream reading nook in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? It’s a pretty straightforward design job, but there are a few key things to keep in mind. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it!

First off, when you arrive at Eloise's vacation home, you'll find the essential items already waiting for you in boxes. Just click on them to unpack. For this specific request, 'My Relaxing Reading Room,' you absolutely need to include a rocking chair, a stack of books, and a wooden bookshelf. These are the non-negotiables!

Don't stress too much about their default colors, though. You can totally change them up using the color variation tool! If you need a refresher on how decorating works in the Happy Home Paradise DLC, check out our guide on decorating – it covers all the cool new tools, like the Pro Decorating License.

You'll also notice some furniture suggestions in the 'Order' section of your inventory. These are just ideas to get your creative juices flowing, so feel free to use them or ignore them completely. The goal is to make Eloise happy!

Design Ideas for 'My Relaxing Reading Room'

Since it's a reading room, more books are always a good idea! You could add another bookshelf or even more stacks of books. Playing with the color variations on your furniture can really make the room pop and feel more dynamic. Don't be afraid to experiment!

We found that adding a couple of sofas and a coffee table with a coffee cup on it really helped create a cozy, cafe-like vibe. Remember, you don't have to build a fully functional living space. If a bed doesn't fit your vision for a relaxing reading room, you can skip it!

Try to mix larger furniture pieces with smaller decorative items to add depth and interest to the room. Think about how everything fits together.

And hey, don't forget about the walls and floor! Choosing a nice wallpaper and flooring is crucial. If you've got the Pro Decorating License, you can even add an accent wall with a different wallpaper for an extra touch of style.

Hanging items on the walls and ceiling can also make the room feel more complete. Adding some art or ceiling fixtures really ties the whole look together. But honestly, the best part is decorating it exactly how you envision it! Just make sure those three required items are in there, and Eloise will be thrilled.

Once you're done, you'll get to see a cute little cut scene of Eloise enjoying her new space. Happy decorating!
