Tiny homes are a recent trend dealing with designing and arranging a special house to live with as little space as possible, cutting down on the space the owner takes up with themselves and the objects they own. Most of these houses tend to lean into a wooden, cabin-like aesthetic and focus on making the small space feel warm and welcoming to the homeowner.

Reddit user brusheswithdarkness decided to try to emulate the aesthetic of one of these houses using Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ latest features to truly capture the feel, while also using the space in the same clever ways a true tiny house would. With the use of partition walls and careful furniture customization and patterns, the home blends together in a wonderfully harmonious way.
The concept of a tiny home in Animal Crossing is truly a unique one as many fans are captivated by brusheswithdarkness’ work. The comments are filled with people asking just how brusheswithdarkness pulled the design off, with them responding happily with tips and tricks. The most stunning feature, the French doors seen in the pictures, is a trick using Animal Crossing: New Horizon’s custom pattern features which brusheswithdarkness has happily shared with other fans.
The fact that someone managed to replicate tiny houses in ACNH shows just what these new features are capable of with ease. It also demonstrates that Animal Crossing has fully embraced its interior design potential in the years it’s been around, as making such a minimalist design could only be dreamed about back when the series first started out on the GameCube.
Even with the new features, however, fans are still limited in what they can manage to do. While brusheswithdarkness’ work is a great look at what’s possible, it’s clear that even the 6x6 space was too small for the true tiny house aesthetic to be captured as the photos cut off what room is left of the house. For what’s shown, though, it serves as a wonderful sight for many fans and definitely sits as an example of just how much freedom Animal Crossing: New Horizons players now have.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for Nintendo Switch.
