PostsYour house is where you can store items, regain energy, collect mail, and create your slice of paradise in Dreamlight Valley. However, the house you start with is the run-down shack given to you by Merlin, which does little to inspire, and it will take a few missions before you can upgrade it to something to be proud of.
Updated March 1, 2025, by Zoë J. Osik: We've updated this guide to highlight the recently added housing options to the premium shop, as well as tips for decorating your village with multiple houses, as they're not only great decorations, but the perfect place to store your materials.
How To Decorate Your House
If you have furniture items in your inventory on entering, you will quickly be able to freshen your house's look. To use your items, open the Furniture tab in the inventory—select items here to place in the room or redecorate with.
An effective starting renovation method is redoing the walls and flooring—select patterns from the Floor and Wallpaper sections to set the designs for the room.
Where To Get New Furniture Items
You will collect some basic items during the game's first missions while clearing the ground, opening chests, and through any welcome items.
How To Collect Items
You can collect furniture items from many places while exploring by earning quest rewards and learning item recipes.
You can also learn item recipes and craft them to get new items.
Once Scrooge McDuck's store is open, you can purchase new furniture items from him.
You can buy new furniture on display from Scrooge McDuck's store and order simple items by talking to him. These are items you have encountered in the world, learned recipes for, or carried before.
How To Place and Remove Furniture
To remove furniture, go to the Furniture tab and minimize the item selection menu so that you can select items to interact within the world. This is how you pick something to either edit its placement or delete it.
Your house starts with plenty of broken and dirty furnishings, which you will likely want to delete. Withsome items, like the cobwebbed chandelier or the windows, it is less obviousthat you can remove them, but it is possible.
As you place an item, you also navigate the camera around the space it's being put in. These two navigational controls can become out of sync, making for odd angles of view.
This won't affect the item itself; you can always redo the placement. To make moving items easier, try to control them one at a time.
You can also clear out all the furnishings in a room by holding down the corresponding input, allowing you to decorate with a clean slate.
How To Make Your House Bigger
To upgrade your house, you must complete the quest Dreamlight Valley Economy 101, which is given to you by Scrooge McDuck after you complete the grand re-opening of his store.
The goal of the quest is to inject money into the local economy. To do that, you sell precious gemstones to Goofy at his stand.
- Mine for gems at mineral deposits, which look like dark pointy rocks in gaps in the valley's walls.
- Not every mineral deposit contains precious stones; however, the ones with shining points jutting out do.
Some non-shining deposits also contain precious stones, so don't write them off, but expect standard stone and coal as well.
Once you have sold these stones to Goofy, Scrooge McDuck will insist you invest the coins earned in upgrading the rooms in your house.
Increasing Room Size
Scrooge McDuck will have installed a special elevator in your home, allowing you to invest in your property and access upgrades for the rooms and eventually install new rooms and floors.
- Go to the house, enter the elevator, and spend the coins on increasing the size of your main room.
- Draw the shape of the room you want, ranging from 1,000 Star Coins to 5,000 Star Coins.
After the second room size upgrade, you can see that other rooms connecting to the entry room are available; however, you need to upgrade the house several times to add more rooms.
Upgrading Your House
Exterior House Upgrades
Once youtell Scrooge McDuck that you've followed his advice, you can finally renovate the house's exterior.
- A sign outside the house indicates that Scrooge will upgrade the property, similar to the ones outside other buildings unlocked up to this point.
- Interact with the sign and then pay the cost of 2,000 coins to renovate the run-down exterior into somewhere to feel comfortable.
The next upgrade will cost 20,000 coins and allow you to add rooms in line with the rooms visible in the room upgrade view, along with new floors. The final external upgrade for your home costs 75,000 Star coins and will remove the Scrooge McDuck sign.
Each upgrade increases the storage of the large chest inside your house, up to a maximum of 48 slots.
How To Resize Rooms
You can resize rooms in your houses by using the expansion menu and selecting the pencil icon. Readjusting the room costs 2,000 Star Coins, regardless of the size, and furniture will be stored accordingly.
Interior House Upgrades
Once your home is fully upgraded, you can continue to add floors and rooms to the interior. Below is a list of all possible floor upgrades for your home's interior:

What Should You Do With Extra Houses?
Extra houses take up a lot of space in the valley, but they can be used as vital places to rest and recover as you go about your duties. Each house will refill your stamina, and you can use at least one home in each biome as a storage unit of sorts.
For example, the Flower Shop is a great visual marker, and you can design the interior to look like a floral storefront. Use chests and other storage items to organize your collection of flowers so you have a one-stop-shop to keep them all in.
The Confectionary house can be used to hold all of your food items, or desserts specifically. The possibilities are limitless when you put your mind to it and unleash your creativity. Having extra houses ensures you never run out of storage and that you can put all those decorations from Scrooge's Store to good use.
How To Remove Mailboxes
With secondary houses come additional mailboxes. The notifications for all mailboxes are the same, and it can be distracting to see so many of them all together, depending on how you decorate.
You cannot remove the mailbox from your primary home!
To remove mailboxes from secondary houses, you need to go inside the property and interact with the elevator. From there, select the option to turn the mailbox off. This will remove the visual aspect of the mailbox without deleting messages or mail.
