Animal Crossing Ceiling Furniture

Get some ceiling furniture

First, you'll need something designed to go on the ceiling. This isn't like photos, which can be placed on the floor, on tables, or on walls — ceiling furniture is specifically for ceilings. You can find it in all the usual places, like Nook's Cranny, the Poki store in Happy Home Paradise, and in trees.
