How to remove accent wall acnh
To remove an accent wall in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, stand in the room, open your NookPhone, select the ‘Home Design’ app, and then choose the ‘Wall’ option. Select the ‘Remove’ tool and tap the accent wall you wish to remove.
Removing an accent wall in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a straightforward process that allows you to reconfigure your home’s interior design. Whether you’ve changed your mind about a particular aesthetic or want to open up a space, this guide will walk you through the simple steps.
Accent walls in ACNH are typically created using wallpaper. When you apply a different wallpaper to one wall in a room, it’s recognized as an accent wall. To remove it, you essentially reapply wallpaper to that specific wall, making it consistent with the rest of the room, or you can choose to remove all wallpaper from that wall if you prefer.
Steps to remove an accent wall in ACNH
To begin the process of removing an accent wall, ensure you are inside the room where the accent wall is located. You cannot make these changes from outside your house.
Once inside, open your NookPhone. This is the in-game smartphone that provides access to various tools and applications. You can typically access your NookPhone by pressing the ‘ZL’ button on your Nintendo Switch controller.
Navigate to the ‘Home Design’ app on your NookPhone. This app is your primary tool for interior decorating and house customization.
Within the ‘Home Design’ app, select the ‘Wall’ option. This will bring up your inventory of wallpapers and the tools available for wall customization.
You will see a ‘Remove’ tool. It usually looks like a small eraser or a brush with a red ‘X’ on it. Select this ‘Remove’ tool.
With the ‘Remove’ tool selected, move your cursor over the accent wall you wish to remove. A prompt will appear, indicating that you can press a button (usually ‘A’) to remove the current wallpaper from that specific wall.
Press the indicated button to confirm the removal. The accent wallpaper will be replaced with the default, un-wallpapered state of the wall, matching the other walls in the room if they are also un-wallpapered, or reverting to the base wall color.
Alternatively, if you wish to replace the accent wall with a different wallpaper rather than remove it entirely, you can simply select the desired wallpaper from your inventory within the ‘Wall’ menu and apply it to the accent wall. This will overwrite the existing accent wallpaper.
What if I want to remove wallpaper entirely?
If your goal is to remove all wallpaper from a room, including the accent wall, the process is similar. After selecting the ‘Wall’ option in the ‘Home Design’ app, instead of choosing the ‘Remove’ tool, you can select a ‘No Wallpaper’ option if available, or simply choose a plain wallpaper that matches the base wall color. However, the ‘Remove’ tool is the most direct way to revert a specific wall back to its un-wallpapered state.
Can I remove accent walls from exterior walls?
No, accent walls are a feature of interior room design in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You cannot apply or remove accent walls on the exterior of your house. The customization options for the exterior are limited to roof color, house shape, and door/window styles.
What happens to the accent wallpaper after removal?
When you remove an accent wall using the ‘Remove’ tool, the wallpaper is not destroyed or lost. It remains in your inventory, available for you to re-apply at any time. This means you can experiment with different wall designs without fear of permanently losing your favorite wallpapers.
Common Mistakes When Removing Accent Walls in ACNH
| Step/Tool | Typical Mistake | How to Avoid It |
|---|---|---|
| Being Outside the Room | Attempting to remove the accent wall while standing outside your house. | Always ensure you are inside the specific room you wish to modify before opening the NookPhone. |
| Using the Wrong Tool | Trying to remove the accent wall by selecting a different tool, like the ‘Floor’ tool or a decoration item. | Verify that you have selected the ‘Home Design’ app and then the ‘Wall’ option, followed by the specific ‘Remove’ tool. |
| Not Confirming Removal | Accidentally canceling the removal process or not pressing the final confirmation button. | Pay close attention to the on-screen prompts and ensure you press the correct button (usually ‘A’) to finalize the removal after selecting the wall. |
| Forgetting to Save | Closing the app or leaving the house without the game automatically saving the changes. | While ACNH typically auto-saves frequently, it’s good practice to exit the room and re-enter, or perform another small action, to ensure your changes are registered. |

Does removing an accent wall cost bells?
No, removing an accent wall in Animal Crossing: New Horizons does not cost any bells. The Home Design app’s tools for redecorating, including removing wallpaper, are free to use.
What if I accidentally remove the wrong wall?
