Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers players a vast array of furniture, clothing, tools, and resources, which can lead to an overwhelming accumulation of items as they progress in the game. However, many players quickly find themselves facing a storage dilemma, realizing their homes may not have adequate capacity for their growing inventories.
This comprehensive guide provides effective strategies for increasing home storage in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, enabling players to retain more tools, supplies, clothing, and furnishings.
Expanding Home Storage in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Initially, when players transition from a tent to a house, they gain access to 80 storage slots. Although this might appear sufficient—especially when considering the 20-item pocket limit before inventory upgrades—the vast selection of items in New Horizons makes it easy to quickly fill storage space.
As players upgrade their houses, the capacity for home storage increases. While in a tent, players lack storage completely. After spending 5, 000 Nook Miles to upgrade, they unlock the initial 80 storage slots. Subsequent house expansions will elevate storage capacity to a total of 120 slots, and it continues to grow with further enhancements.
- With each house upgrade, storage capacity expands. Players can even enhance storage after the final basement construction, though costs will progressively increase. To discuss potential home or storage expansions, players should approach Tom Nook at the Resident Services counter and select the “About my Home”option.
Achieving Maximum Storage Capacity in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Players can ultimately achieve a remarkable storage capacity of 9, 000 slots in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This is contingent upon fully upgrading their house and investing in all six storage expansions. Below is a breakdown of the number of slots unlocked with each expansion and their respective costs:

In total, the expenses to fully upgrade home storage in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can exceed 12 million Bells.
