What is an Accent Wall?

The 2.0 Update in ACNH brought a ton of new features, one of them being the Pro Decorating License which allows you to use Accent Walls and hang light fixtures from the ceiling in your house.

An Accent Wall is one wall that features different wallpaper than the rest, allowing you to have two kinds in one room. You can only have one Accent Wall at a time in a room.

To get the Pro Decorating License, you need 2,500 Nook Miles. Head to your Resident Services Building and then to the Nook Stop where you can purchase it. It unlocks immediately.

How To Add and Remove Accent Walls

To add an Accent Wall, you obviously need some wallpaper. You can buy it from Nook's Cranny or from Saharah, either when she visits your town or after you unlock her at Harv's Island Plaza.

Make sure you have the wallpaper either in your pockets or in Storage and go into Decorating Mode by pressing Down on the D-Pad when you're in the room you want to add an Accent Wall to and then the Plus (+) button to switch to the wall view.

To use wallpaper from your pockets, press X, click on your wallpaper, and then hit "Set Accent Wall." If it's in your Storage, press Right on the D-Pad, navigate to it, and then press X to set it.

To remove an Accent Wall, head back into Decorating Mode, then go into your Storage, find your wallpaper there (it will have a blue and white checkmark on it), and then hit X again. This is how you remove wallpaper you added from your inventory too.

Now that you know How to Remove Accent Walls, take a look at our How to Get More Furniture and Increase Your Catalog guide so you can create the home of your dreams in ACNH.

Resident Evil 4 Remake: 13 Awesome Things We Noticed While Playing

After playing through the original Resident Evil 4 dozens of times on everything from GameCube to Meta Quest 2 VR, Brian Altano got to go hands-on with the first 45 minutes of Capcom's highly anticipated next-gen remake of this modern classic of survival-horror action. Is it noticeably scarier? Will it be darker than the original? Does it still have funny moments? Did they make any changes? Did the chainsaw guy get new abilities? The answer is yes, but there's so much more to talk about. Even though Resident Evil 4 Remake's announcement might have been spoiled by leaks, the first trailer got us plenty excited, and seeing uncut gameplay footage of it in action has us extremely excited. Between the newer first-person games, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and Resident Evil 8 Village, and the classic third-person Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake, Capcom has clearly been reaching for the moon with the RE Engine. RE4 is one of the best horror games of all time, so we cannot wait for its release date - March 24th, 2023 when it comes out for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 update added a ton of customization options to the game. With the Happy Home Paradise DLC, players had almost complete control over everything on their island. The 2.0 added tons of features that improved a game that was already extremely customizable.

One of the features added was the accent wall. The accent wall allows players to place wallpaper on just one side of a room. Players can use this to perfectly design a room the way they want to.

Unfortunately, that design may not always be the best one. Animal Crossing: New Horizons players often want to change the design. Here's how to get rid of an accent wall.


Getting rid of accent walls in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

In order to remove an accent wall, Animal Crossing players will need to place one first. They can do this by first obtaining a Pro Decorating License. Players can do this through the Happy Home Paradise DLC. Lottie will pay for it since players will be working with her.

They can also purchase it for 2,500 bells from Nook's Cranny. Those bells will be refunded if players later get the Happy Home Paradise DLC.

To place one, players need to enter decorating mode. From there, they can push the plus button and select a wall. Click on the wallpaper in the player's pocket with the X button, then find the accent wall option on the menu. This will add the paper to the selected wall.

Removing it is equally as simple. Animal Crossing players can go back into decorating mode and the wallpaper should have a blue mark on it. Players can then press the X button and remove the wallpaper.

Players can add and remove accent walls as much as they please. They can even add multiple accent walls to a room if they want. Customization is totally up to them, with accent walls and many other parts of the game.

How do you get custom walls in Animal Crossing?

Instead of being able to put down as many as you want like you can in Happy Home Paradise, you'll need to first craft the desired number of Animal Crossing Partition Walls before you can use them. Run up to a DIY workbench. Select the Partition Wall. You'll need 3 Wood and 3 Clay to craft it.
