Confused about ordering furniture in HHP

[Starboard]

I'm a bit confused about the items that you can order from Wardell. Until now I thought it was everything that I unlocked while designing homes, but I've noticed I can't order things (as in they don't even show up) like the simple wall shelf and European-style walls despite being able to use them when designing. There are probably other things but it seems kind of random, so does anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

Anything that would normally show in your Nook's catalogue as "Not for Sale" or "Seasonal" won't appear in Wardell's catalogue. The European-Style walls are Sahara items, therefore "Not for Sale" normally ...

I just checked my catalogue and the Simple Wall Shelf is in there for 770 Poki. Are you looking in the Wall-Mounted section? Maybe you're confusing the item with something else?

Oh yeah, that makes sense about the "not for sale" items.

I checked again and I don't have the Simple Wall Shelf Maybe it's a bug?

Edit: I just realised I don't have the Tapestry either! There's probably more I haven't noticed as well.

Zell gave me a European-style wall when I talked to him on the beach (after spending over 20 minutes on his request), so that's another way to get the Saharah items.

Thanks, I didn't know you could do that.

Seems like not many people have had a similar issue, I hope at least it won't happen with items I really want to order :/

I was looking at how to get the sloppy set, because I couldn't order it, and seems you only get it in the recycle box? Seems very random and hard to get.

Sorry for a little off topic, but when do you unlock Wardell's catalog? I just finished the "story" last night.

nvm! I talked to him and he let me order!
