So, a year and a half in, Flora is the only one still in a starter house. But I've gifted her with replacements and it does look cute. Her furniture is still the wooden block, but it's pastel - except the stereo. For some reason, she won't swap that. I also gave her the pink loft bed and a pink diner chair. A few accessories scattered around and it's a nice place to visit.

I gifted my 2 original villagers beds and they still choose to sleep in sleeping bags on the floor.
It took me about 10 times of gifting Agnes (my original villager) a bed before she used it!

At one point, she had the loft bed with desk and a sleeping bag! It was about finding the right bed for her I think? Her favourite colours are white and pink, so I got her the Simple Bed in white, with the pink fabric design, and she replaced her sleeping bag with that! 😊🌟🛏

Maybe you could try something like that?
 
I don't really like them, I mean I found out when I had Skye back on my old island before it was deleted that she a much better interior than the one she was given back when I was still making the island and she was one of the 3 starter villagers when I had to build the 3 homes. So I had to move her out and when I found her again she had a new interior. So the one thing about starter villager homes that sucks is that you need to let them leave your island and if you find them again on random campsite visits or nook mile islands then they will have their original interior and no longer the starter interior.

Thanks. I've got Bam and Phoebe as my original villagers, and I'm trying to make their houses not suck, so I've been giving them both various furniture every day. I also made a simple bed for Bam. Blue frame to match everything else in his house, and a fabric pattern sheets I thought he would like, but he's still in the sleeping bag.

Phoebe is amazing; it’s a shame you don’t have her intended house!

It looks like in ACNH, Bam’s favourite colours are green and brown, and Phoebe’s are red and black. They’re probably going to prefer their favourite colours. If you want to get rid of the sleeping bag when gifting them beds, the size of the bed also needs to equal the size of the sleeping bag, i.e. 1x2 squares.

I personally think the crafted furniture works better, but that’s only from my own experience.

For Bam, you could try the Wooden Simple Bed, in Dark Wood (Brown) with the green pattern. If Bam doesn’t like that, you could try the wooden block bed, then the ironwood bed. Those beds don’t have his favourite colours, but I’ve read that the villagers can have a preference over the type of bed (I don’t know if that’s true).

For Phoebe, none of the crafted beds have her colour scheme, so you could just try one wooden simple bed (probably in black), then one block bed, and see if either works. I know in her original house she has a red camping cot. I haven’t had much luck with gifting the starters non-crafted beds, but it’s worth a try.

Anyway, good luck! 😊

Thanks for the tips, I'll try that. Yeah Phoebe's intended house is pretty cool. Sadly, she's stuck with the wooden block furniture.
 
I just gave up one of my starter villagers, Curly, in order to get his actual interior. The previous one wasn’t bad, but I think it is time to freshen him up a bit. Luckily, I am waiting on getting his amiibo, so I won’t have to cycle through campsite or mystery island visits to find him.

That said, I have Puddles and Aurora in starter houses that I love much more than their defaults. Although Aurora’s Frozen pad is cool, her starter “normal” interior strikes me as more fitting her personality. As for Puddles, I probably would have gotten rid of her by now if she started with her default and not the starter peppy home that I got her with. Puddles was already a tough sell initially for me, but she warmed up to me and I did like her starter house. Her default though? That is ugly as sin!
 
By starting my island again, I chose villagers that I didn't like to exchange them afterwards with dreamies (Canberra for example). That way, I wouldn't have the hideous interior of their basic house.
 
I've had Shari since day 1 and her interior has always been that basic one. However, I gave her bunk beds, a table and various other items and her house looks like an old loft apartment these days, which I quite like.
 
Megan is my only current villager with a starter house. It's always been ok, but once I saw her regular house with the bee keeper theme I can't stop hating her house now, lol. I've given her a few of the bee themed items, but without the wallpaper and floor, it kinda sucks.
 
I have Katt in her starter house and its so cute and homey. She was one of the two starter villagers and since her real house looks so cold and sad I want to keep her becauae I can't have her back in the starter house again.
 
I was suprised how different some villagers houses had changed when they moved to my island compared to other games before New Horizons. My pet peeve is the original villagers have a sleeping bag within their home and it cant be moved!

I had to kick out Phoebe early on because she would not give up her sleeping bag, no matter how many beds and other items I gifted her.
 
And that's why I'm glad Amiibo cards still exist. Goodbye Hamlet and Frita, for you'll soon be replaced. :)

I'm actually kinda glad my starting villagers aren't villagers I'm particularly fond of, or it would be hard to get rid of them on an emotional level.
