How to Get Paradise Planning Furniture in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The quest for that perfect piece of furniture in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is never truly over, and the Happy Home Paradise DLC introduces a whole new world of design possibilities and unique items. So, how exactly do you get your hands on those coveted Paradise Planning furniture pieces? The short answer is: by playing the DLC, designing vacation homes, spending Poki, and being a loyal customer of Wardell. However, the path is a bit more intricate than that, so let’s dive into the specifics.
Unlocking the Paradise Planning Catalog
The most significant step in acquiring Paradise Planning furniture is unlocking the Paradise Planning catalog. This catalog isn’t given to you right away. Instead, you have to work for it. You need to spend a total of 150,000 Poki at the Paradise Planning office. Once you hit this milestone, you’ll gain access to a massive catalog filled with every item you’ve used while designing vacation homes, with all possible color variations (excluding “Not for Sale” items). This is a game-changer, giving you a plethora of options to bring your interior design dreams to life.
This catalog functions much like the Nook Shopping catalog, but with a twist: it contains not only the standard items you’ve unlocked, but also exclusive Paradise Planning-themed items. These special additions are where you’ll find unique pieces you can’t obtain anywhere else. Think hammocks, new furniture sets, and décor that are specific to the Paradise Planning island aesthetic. These items are also purchased with Poki, which are earned by working for the resort.
Wardell’s Catalog: Your Second Source
Another critical source for Paradise Planning furniture is Wardell’s catalog. While the Paradise Planning catalog unlocks after spending 150,000 Poki, Wardell’s is a bit more tied to your gameplay.
Wardell’s catalog contains any sellable item you’ve used in your Happy Home Paradise designs, including highly desired items like the froggy chair, ceiling decor, and wall-mounted furniture. It doesn’t seem like there is a vacation house requirement; the more you buy from him each day, the more likely he will start a conversation with you about it.
Every time you design vacation homes and unlock new furniture, those items are added to Wardell’s catalog, indicated by a little red dot next to them. To keep the catalog fresh and filled with new possibilities, you need to continue designing more vacation homes and working with the resort clients. This emphasizes the importance of continually engaging with the DLC to expand your furniture collection.
The Role of Poki
Poki is the currency of the Paradise Planning archipelago. You earn Poki by completing vacation home design requests for the various clients at the resort. The more vacation homes you design, the more Poki you accumulate. This allows you to unlock the Paradise Planning catalog and purchase items from Wardell, which forms a direct relationship with the gameplay. There is also a Poki ABD console that lets you convert Poki to Bells, should you need the home island’s currency.
Other Methods for Obtaining Furniture
Beyond the dedicated catalogs in the Paradise Planning DLC, there are some additional methods for finding furniture, including some that apply to both the main island and the DLC:
- Shaking Trees: On your main island, there are always two random furniture items that can be shaken from the trees daily (excluding fruit trees). This is a consistent way to discover new furniture pieces that might eventually make it into the Paradise Planning catalogs, if you use them in a design.
- Nook’s Cranny: The standard shop on your main island, Nook’s Cranny, offers daily selections of furniture for purchase with Bells. Some furniture available here may cross over into the Paradise Planning catalog after you use it in a vacation home design.
- Nook Shopping: Available at the Nook Stop in Resident Services, Nook Shopping allows you to purchase a selection of daily items, including furniture with Bells. Again, these items are available to be added to the catalog.
- Paradise Planning Office Items: Keep an eye out for the items that are sold in the Paradise Planning Office! These items are a good start to building the Paradise Planning catalog.
