Den Decorating: The Basics

Hey Jammers, Yum here! In this article, I will be showing you a few basic tips for ALL players to enhance your den decorating experience! Most Jammers have done some den decorating during their time in Jamaa while also getting a bit frustrated with their dens and items, but don’t fret! There are ways to make all your dens fit your theme and I will be sharing some of these basic tips to all.

LAYERING

One of the most frustrating things for den decorators is Animal Jam is layering. Many Jammers have gone through something similar to this (images on the right) where your items will go underneath each other when you’re trying to put it on top.
If you have issues with this, one of the best things to do is pick some different items, like an actual couch! Trying again and again with one item can be very tedious and aggravating.

THEME

Another common annoyance in the art of den decorating is maintaining a theme. Sometimes you only have enough items to fill one or two rooms with a theme, but that’s okay. In houses, not all rooms are exactly the same. Pick themes for certain rooms. Not everything has to be unified.

WALLPAPER

Last but not least, let’s talk about wallpapers! Since there aren’t many accessible wallpapers in Animal Jam PC, it can be a bit hard to come up with alternatives. Artists may be able to create masterpieces with their own background, but not all Jammers can do this. (After all, not everybody is a Picasso in disguise!) If you are looking for colored walls, you can easily use the bucket tool in the Animal Jam Art Studio and hang up your masterpieces all over your den! Some items are also made for hanging on walls that you can cover your walls if you don’t like a bare appearance.

That’s all for the basics of den decorating! Have some tips that I missed that you think would be helpful for other Jammers? Comment them below!
