How To Upgrade Your House In Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life simulator and adventure game from Disney. In the game, you help the famous animated residents of Dreamlight Valley get rid of dark magic affecting their memories in a house close to the center of the map as your base.

Your 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.

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.

Collecting Items

You will collect some basic items during the game’s first missions while clearing the ground, opening chests, and through any welcome items.

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.

Placing and Removing 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. With some items, like the cobwebbed chandelier or the windows, it is less obvious that 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.
• The first increase costs 1000 coins, and the second costs 2000.

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

Once you tell 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.

Below is a list of all possible floor upgrades for your home’s interior:

Floor Number	Cost
Floor 1	Free
Floor 2	3,000 Star coins
Floor 3	4,500 Star coins
Floor 4	6,800 Star coins

House Dream Styles

Changing the appearance of your house allows you to customize it further. Dream Styles come in all shapes and colors, and they’re available through the Premium Shop’s rotating stock.

You can place multiple houses in the valley, however, your main house will remain the first one!

You can change the look of it by selecting the house in the furniture menu, then selecting the option to change it’s Dream Style.

Below is a list of all available House Dream Styles:

There’s no limit to how many times you can change the look of your home, so feel free to decorate as you see fit. Each home placed after your initial home will be empty and come with additional rooms already added, so you can arrange the interior decor however you’d like.
