Furniture
(Jump to the furniture catalog.)
Where do I get furniture? - There are eleven shops in Neopia that sell items for neohomes.
The Igloo Garage Sale (on Terror Mountain) often has a few pieces, too. You can also find neohome items in user shops by searching on the Shop Wizard, or at Auctions and the Trading post.
About 10% of all furniture items are not sold in neopets shops. These include Advent Calendar and other retired items, game and plot prizes, and rare item code prizes. However, they can usually be found in user shops via the Shop Wizard, or at the Trading Post or in Auctions. For a list of these items, click here.
How do I put furniture in my neohome? - Click on the item in Your Items. In the item window the drop down menu will list the rooms in your neohome (which is why it is a good idea to name your rooms before you start furnishing them.) Click on the room that you want to put the item in.
Why doesn't all my furniture appear in the room? - Sometimes all the items don't load the first time. Refresh the page. You might have to do it a couple of times.
|
NOTE: Some furniture items will not load in rooms or don't load properly. See the problems section in the Furniture Catalog for details.
|
How do I arrange my furniture? - Go to your neohome page and click View Rooms or Gardens, then click on the room where you just put the item. You will find the item in the upper left corner of the room. Place your pointer on the item and hold down the left click button to drag and drop it. You can also rotate, raise and lower items by using the item's control panel (see below).
To make items stay in the position you want, be sure you click on the 'Save Room' button before you refresh or leave.
Controls
When you first open a room the room information panel will appear under the room. Click on the View Item Info button to toggle to the item control panel. This is where you do all your furniture moving.
This panel gives you the name and description (or partial description) of the "active" item. If you click on another item, the information will change. It also gives you the item's cost and weight, which you can ignore.
 |
Click the lock control button to lock and unlock an item. Locked: 1 means locked, Locked: 0 means unlocked. It must be unlocked to change the item's position, depth, or action. It is generally not necessary to lock an item. Save will keep it in it's place. |
 |
The action button controls items that turn on and off, like lamps, speakers, and robo-pets. As of this writing, it's not working too well. |
 |
You can position an item by dragging and dropping, or by using the position control arrows. The arrows are good for tiny moves. If you hold the Shift key down while clicking these arrows, the item will move a greater distance. |
 |
The rotation arrows will rotate an item 90 degrees. To rotate an item in smaller amounts, hold the Shift key down while you click the rotation button. This is how you position furniture on a diagonal. |
 |
The depth control layers items. If you want the rug to be under the sofa, the rug should be at a lesser depth than the sofa. The depth button increases or decreases depth by one. If you hold the shift key down while you click the button it will increase or decrease by ten. |
 |
Always click this button before you reload or leave a room. If you don't, all your careful positioning will be undone. |
 |
Click this button to view your room information. It will toggle to the room information control panel. |
The window on the left lists all the items in your room. If you click on an item to highlight it, the boundary line of that item will appear in your room and make that item your "active" item. It will also bring up the item information panel.
This control panel will appear when you view a room in someone else's neohome. If you click on one of their items, the item information panel will appear. This is very useful for identifying items that you don't recognize.
The buttons on this panel are pretty self-explanatory. The View Item Information button takes you back to the item control panel. The Mute/Unmute Room button turns off speakers, which is very nice when you're working on a room and the music loop is driving you nuts.:)
How do I position furniture on a diagonal? - See information on rotation in the item control panel instructions above.
How can I position furniture high on the wall? - This doesn't always work the way you want it, but here are a couple of things to try. Click on the left rotation button until the item is at -180. Or hold down the Shift key as you click on the rotation buttons. Items that are at -180 or slightly tilted will stay up on the wall.
I didn't know that chair was going to look like that! - Items in neohomes are seen from an aerial viewpoint. Some of them look quite different than you would expect. Here is an example:
The Stone Chair and Rock Chair as seen in the shops

The same chairs seen in a neohome

To avoid unpleasant surprises like this check the Aerial section of this guide to see what items look like in an actual neohome before you buy.
I want a grand piano in my neohome! - Sorry, that item is a toy, not furniture. But when neopets doesn't provide items that you want for your neohome you can improvise. See the Related Links section for some useful sites on this.
How do I remove furniture from a room? - Go to the room from which you want to remove an item. Click on the button below the room labelled Go to Remove Items from Room. You will see a display of all the items that are in that room with check boxes under each one. Click on the boxes of all the items you want to remove. They will be sent back to Your Items.
|
NOTE: If you do have to destroy a room for any reason, the items in the room will be returned to your inventory (Your Items page).

Now that you have some furnished rooms, why not try some landscaping?
