How to Make an Animal Crossing-Themed Gaming Room
Not everyone has a head for decor, though Animal Crossing fans tend to be ahead of the pack. For those struggling to make their island dreams come true in their room, here are some essential tips for making a gaming space feel like something Tom Nook would want to buy.
Use earthy tones
Animal Crossing loves to use light, earthy colors throughout the game. Colors like green, blue, and cream will almost immediately make a room feel more like an Animal Crossing set than ever before. Even if it's just a blue mousepad or a green, leafy Switch case, using these colors will make a big difference.
Implement in-game items as much as possible
One surefire way to make a space feel like it belongs in a video game is to bring the video game to life. This can be achieved by grabbing real-life products that are designed to look like in-game items. Things like Tom Nook's shirt or a cute bell bag can grab the attention of any die-hard Animal Crossing fan.
Keep it cozy
Animal Crossing is one of the original cozy games. As such, it's important to add some comfort items to any space by trying to imitate Animal Crossing's style. Things like throw pillows in the shape of pillows and soft organization bags make it easy to sit back and relax while playing on the Switch.
Best Budget Animal Crossing Accessory
It’s really difficult to cosplay on a budget without getting creative, but at least Animal Crossing fans have a simple solution: the Tom Nook leaf shirt. This button-up shirt isn’t the highest quality top a person could buy, but it’s also one of the most affordable pieces of clothing on Amazon, with a tiny price tag as low as $15. The polyester material is super soft, if a bit delicate, and can easily be paired with a nice undershirt and left open for get-togethers.
The shirt has a simple design, mimicking Tom Nook’s shirt from the game, but comes in white, red, and green, all with both male and female-style cuts. The shirt is also available in a variety of sizes ranging from extra-small to 3XL. While it’s not exactly gaming-specific, this shirt is one of the best budget accessories for Animal Crossing fans everywhere.
Best Premium Animal Crossing Accessory
Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition
Most Animal Crossing fans are Switch gamers, so why not double down on the fandom by grabbing the most appropriate Switch console? Despite most definitely being a premium purchase, the Animal Crossing Switch is hardly marked up for its stylish design, with players expected to pay an extra $29 for the blue and green pastel Joy-Cons along with the adorable Nook family displayed on the front of the dock.
There are also some special edition Animal Crossing Switch Lite consoles, which are similarly not bad as far as pricing goes, but for high-end gamers, there’s no replacement for a full Switch console. Additionally, for busy households with lots of gamers, it may be a good idea to get a second console so that everyone can play exactly what they want, when they want. This special edition Switch is perfect for Animal Crossing fans, with the back of the Switch featuring little motifs of the game and unique Joy-Cons. It even includes cute wrist straps that are compatible with any Joy-Cons.
