Your support makes all the difference.Queer Eye’s resident home decor expert Bobby Berk has been helping Animal Crossing players with their interior design.
The Fab Five member invited users to send pictures of their homes from Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Nintendo Switch before offering constructive criticism on how they could improve their rooms.
The interior designer critiqued and offered home decor advice to the players, sending positive comments such as “You’re on the right track” and “Colour scheme is great! Keep up the good work.”
For fans asking for more specific advice, Berk did what he does best on Queer Eye and offered advice on where to place items to make their rooms feel more homely or spacious.
Animal Crossing has become a video game sensation during the coronavirus pandemic, although it has come under criticism for teaching children “toxic messages” about capitalism and the environment.
Last week, Elijah Wood was revealed to be a fan of the game, after a Twitter user shared that the Lord of the Rings actor had privately messaged her on it when she posted about her turnip prices.
“Guys I tweeted my turnip prices and Elijah Wood just came to my island and hung out,” she tweeted. “This is the best day in quarantine yet.”
The actor visited her island, where he picked fruit and talked to her about his love of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
