This is obviously important in order to make the island truly yours. Placing items is all fine and dandy, but placing them exactly where you want them is the key to having good feng shui.

You’re going to want things to look a certain way and if your furniture isn’t facing the right direction, you’re going to have a bad time when your friends see the place. Imagine! How embarrassing!

How to Rotate Furniture in Animal Crossing New Horizons

When first placing an item down in the build mode, you can actually rotate it by pressing A.

If you’re in build mode within your house and placed it down already, you can hover over it and press A anyway.

If you already have the furniture placed down and are not in the build mode, though, rotating them is as simple as walking up, holding A while facing them, and then pushing your control stick in any direction to rotate them that way.

Do this as many times as you need to get it facing the right way. You can also push furniture and items while interacting like this, by the way.
