Mass Hysteria
A lot of people do not know about the datamine section of the ANCH discord, so I wanted to share the Villager Furniture Guide that was recently posted there since I know a lot of people on TBT have questions about house villager house furniture works.
It also includes a website that has all villager house interior layouts available (except the starter Peach Lazy layout).

House Viewer Website | If you want to see what kind of furniture was originally in your villager's house, or what kind and where the room markers are, you can use this website to view the layout of their house. |
| *to search keep typing the first letter of the villager name in the drop-down |
Gifting | • Villagers can display items through gifting, buying an item out of your pockets, trading an item from your pockets, and some delivery quests. • They will usually display valid items 1 day after obtaining, 2 days if gifted by mail. Note that non-furniture items may not be displayed in the same time period. • Villagers can recieve up to 5 mailed furniture per day. They will try to display all 5 at once when they display them. • Items that can't be placed normally, wallpaper, flooring, rugs, and *wall-mounted furniture can't ever be placed or replaced. |
Default Floor Furniture | • In order for villagers to replace the default furniture on the floor of their house, the replacing furniture must be the same size and same category. • Furniture in the categories 'Fixed' and 'DIYworkbench' cannot be placed nor replaced. |
Room Markers | • Most houses have 1 or more empty spots called room markers where items can be placed. Usually they are 1x1 or 2x1 spots where any kind of placable item of the right size can go. • Other types of room markers include: Fish, Insect, Music, ClothWall, ClothFloor (unused), and 2x2 (unused). ClothWall and Music are the only ways for villagers to place non-default furniture on walls. • Villagers will prioritize placing furniture in room markers before replacing existing furniture on the floor. When choosing an existing furniture to replace, the choice is random between valid types or surfaces. • Items in the basic 1x1 and 2x1 room marker spots don't need to be the same category to be replaced, any category of item can replace items in these spots. |
Surfaces | • Furniture placed on surfaces don't need to be the same type or size to replace other furniture on surfaces. • Certain categories can only be placed on the surface of specific categories, these are listed in both the ItemNpcRoomReplaceCategory and List of Items tabs. • Some pieces of furniture require a valid surface to be placed and will never be placed on the floor, these are listed in List of Items. • Some pieces of furniture normally have a surface or are placeable on a surface, but belong to a category that prevents these. • Gifted furniture placed on surfaces will usually be moved around between valid surface spots daily. • Items categorized as 'None' can only be placed on the floor, can only replace starting furniture also labeled 'None', can never have anything placed on top of them, and can be placed in room marker spots. |
Seasonality | • Some furniture cannot be displayed unless it's the correct season. • Once the season ends, any out-of-season furniture placed on surfaces will be removed. Furniture on the ground will stay until replaced. • All season exclusive furniture is listed in the Seasonality tab. |
Storage | • Villagers will store up to 32 pieces of furniture, including starting furniture in their houses. They store 24 pieces of clothing. • They will start removing old furniture once they reach their storage limit, notably wall-mounted furniture, furniture placed on surfaces, or other non-displayed furniture. • They are able to store furniture that they can't place. This can be exploited to empty their house of wall-mounted furniture and furniture placed on surfaces. • Test: do villagers remove oldest furniture first, or is it just random? |
Restoration | • Gifting the original wall-mounted furniture of the original color after they removed it will let them place it back. • Furniture that was originally on a surface will try to get placed in its original spot. By overflowing their storage to remove surface furniture you can make it very easy for villagers to place the originals in the right spots. • If the surface furniture was originally on an invalid surface, regifting that furniture can still place it in the same spot, provided it is the exact same variation. • Floor furniture will still replace valid things at random. The higher number of each category the villager has based on size, the chance of them replacing correctly is lowered. • Mailing original furniture is a faster way to mass gift multiple furniture of the same category (and in general) than normal gifting. • Mass mailing also increases the odds of getting it right compared to hand gifting. For example with 3 different furniture of one category of the same size will have a 1/6 chance by mail vs 1/27 chance by normal gifting. • It is currently unknown if villagers can completely remove furniture from room markers, the current assumption is that it's not possible. • This information still needs to be tested more and may not be completely accurate. |
