House Flipper<\/h2>\n

Switch<\/h3>\n

House Flipper has garnered plenty of attention from streamers and players alike, and rightly so. Offering you the unique opportunity to become a one-man renovation crew, it\u2019s your job to buy, repair, and remodel a variety of run-down houses, giving them a second life and selling them for a profit.<\/p>\n

This title offers a more hands-on approach than most other decorating and design games, allowing you to truly express your creative side (or your wild side \u2013 no one\u2019s stopping you from making a one-room house with nothing but 20 toilets inside). You\u2019ve got a variety of tools at your disposal, from hammers and drills to gorgeous furnishings, allowing you to focus on what appeals to you most. Whether you\u2019re interested in repairs and installations, achieving the perfect aesthetic, or focusing on budget management and profit, this game\u2019s got it all.<\/p>\n

My Universe Interior Designer<\/h2>\n

Switch<\/h3>\n

The stylised design sim, My Universe \u2013 Interior Designer, is a great little gem in the Nintendo Switch catalogue, perfect for anyone with a passion for interior decorating. With a renovation mode, where you can completely restructure the house, building and knocking down walls, painting, fixing electrics and water inlets, and a decoration mode, where you can style the property however you like, it offers plenty of freedom to let your creativity show. Of course, you\u2019ll want to keep your clients happy though, so be sure to keep their preferences in mind!<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"Animal<\/a><\/p>\n

Animal Restaurant<\/h2>\n

Android and iOS<\/h3>\n

In this sweet, chill game, you take the role of a stray cat, looking to start their very own restaurant. Hire staff, serve customers, and earn fish to customise your restaurant. Adding cute furniture and renovating the space earns you more fish, allowing you to unlock more furnishings and space, such as the garden and the buffet bar. Animal Restaurant doesn\u2019t give you the same level of customisation and involvement offered in the other games on this list, but it\u2019s a wonderfully relaxing experience, full of adorable little animals and cute furniture \u2013 and I can\u2019t deny, I\u2019ve spent far too much time tapping away on this one.<\/p>\n

Cat Cafe Manager<\/h2>\n

Switch<\/h3>\n

Cat Cafe Manager is a gorgeous little gem, where you move to the small town of Catterwaul to renovate your grandma\u2019s cat cafe. While it may look simple on the surface, it has a surprising amount of depth, with resource management, unforgettable characters, a lovely narrative, and, of course, plenty of cats to pet.<\/p>\n

Your main focus is expanding your cafe and ensuring it meets the needs of your customers, meaning you need to decorate your space with comfy chairs, pretty plants, funky furniture sets, and all the amenities required to keep your funds flowing (don\u2019t underestimate how much the quality of a toilet can affect someone\u2019s mood).<\/p>\n

Despite all of this, it still manages to maintain a wonderfully chill atmosphere, with no fail states to stress you out. How seriously you take this game is entirely up to you, whether you focus on maximising profits by targeting specific design styles, or just relaxing and vibing with the cats as you pick out your favourite pieces of furniture.<\/p>\n

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp<\/h2>\n

Android and iOS<\/h3>\n

Of course, we can\u2019t make a list of the best decorating games without including Animal Crossing \u2013 we\u2019re pretty sure that\u2019s a gaming sin. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp may not have the level of customisation available in the main titles, but it offers a nice, laid back option for when you want to hop in and see your favourite fuzzballs on the go. With a sweet little campsite prime for designing, a bunch of adorable furniture from a variety of styles, and a heap of critters to appease with your decorating decisions, it makes for an adorable casual sim, great for killing time.<\/p>\n

Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/h2>\n

Switch<\/h3>\n

And last, but certainly not least, we have Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a>. Nintendo\u2019s beloved social sim has made substantial waves since its release, with so many people signing up for the idyllic island getaway that it\u2019s quickly become one of the best-selling Switch games of all time. If, however, you\u2019ve yet to dip your toes into its serene waters and are a fan of decorating games, we implore you to give it a try.<\/p>\n

Though foraging materials, befriending animals, and exploring new islands certainly make up a large part of what ACNH is, the main draw is your ability to build up your entire island however you want. Whether you\u2019re planting flowers, terraforming hills and lakes, or designing your own perfect home, the level of freedom truly lets your creativity run wild.<\/p>\n

The Happy Homes DLC only enhances this, as it gives you the option to also decorate the homes of your villagers in any way you like. It\u2019s relaxing, it\u2019s super cute, and it really captures that sunny island getaway vibe, while also giving you plenty of room to flex your design skills. If you\u2019re already booking your tickets, be sure to check out our ACNH villagers<\/a> guide to know which critters you can meet on your new vacation.<\/p>\n
