#[ARCHIVED] How are you Organizing your Storage?
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
As you can see I have a whole section in my Plaza dedicated to chests! I decided to organize by biome and spent a few days figuring out how I wanted to lay everything out! SO here is a breakdown of each chest!
I started by crafting 2 for every biome and then I used the signs from around the Valley to mark which set of chests is for which Biome. I wanted to have at least a stack of everything but in some cases 2 stacks - so either 50 or 100 of each item!
I then decided what goes with what biome - some of these were easy like the Plaza but others were harder since some things come from multiple biomes!
This is a really neat and organized idea!

@polar horizon
Wall E just had to come and have a nosey. This is a very good idea. I’ve dropped everything on the floor near a goofy stall 🫣
Using the signs to mark which chests go with each biome is genius. They’re kind of pointless where they are because I just use the wells to transport and I already know the layout if I’m walking. Using them as identification for the chests is perfect.
Haha was in the middle of farming with him haha
I used three rooms in my house plus tables/counters like I’ve seen other people do! It lets you see what’s in each chest to make finding things easier. It’s not a perfect system with the sizes of things, various things that won’t let you place them on tables, but it’s been working really well for now! I have a room for crafting supplies, one for fish and other food supplies, and one for flowers!
I have this in every area and it is more than enough storage atm...also, it looks pleasant. I have crafting items in 4 chests by my house next to the Workbench, Spices in a chest just behind Remy's, and fish are all stored in 2 chests next to Moana's boat.
Thank you guys for sharing! I'm looking for my perfect way to organize since man... i'm struggling with those chests rn
I dedicated 3 side rooms in my house as storage - one for crafting materials (1 type of item per chest), one for gems (the same, but I use the safe for dreamshards since they can’t be placed on a table; I also placed ruby and sapphire on a table to not craft with them by accident until they are fully added to the game) and one for flowers (just sorting them by color).
That leaves plenty of space for later, in case some new materials are added to the game too!
I also put two chests next to Wall-E’s garden for whatever he grows for me to cook. (I don’t keep what I grow myself, that’s for selling)
It’s not perfect, but works well for now 🙂
@sour eagle sorry for ping lovely but I know you wanted to see ❤️
So I have this cute little set up in each biome. I keep a stack of everything that is in the biome in the chests next to goofys stall. That means the items that are duplicate will have a stack of 50 for every biome they are in. Also when I say everything in the biome I mean all the fish and gems as well. The left chest will have all the flowers, fruit and vegetables that grow in the biome and the right chest has the fish and gems in the biome. It's not necessary to have two chests I just like to have it a bit more organized.
@lucid socket >.>
o___o
Stupid question but what table is that? A craftable one?
Yes, a craftable one! It’s called a heavy wooden table and only takes 20 softwood to make one 🙂
Wait omg all those chests are actually able to hold things?😭😭 I thought they were just decorations lmaoooo
my flowers and food are on the other side i’ll have to get a picture soon!
This whole thread is so inspiring. 🥹🥹
After opening about 20 different chests to find what I needed, I decided it’s time to organize 🤣
How are yall getting chest? I just started
you make them with the sticks that are on the ground, pick them up and soon you will have enough to make chests.
@neon cliff Thank you so much for this post, You are an inspiration, and such a help to us all.
I am glad I could help!
gather stone and wood to craft chests! 25 wood and 25 stone per chest 🙂
I finally got the recipe! Man its a lot to craft a chest😭 i need softwood to spawn more often
it respawns every day under most trees! 🙂
Ah okay I was looking in plaza and meadows for wood. I was going to time travel until i read it corrupts the file so i will wait
it does spawn in the plaza and meadow, and yeah time traveling messes up your game very bad unfortunately. i would def time travel if it didn’t
I took a BIG chunk of my plaza and made it a storage and crafting area for the time being! I have a few extra chests for anything new added to the game as well! 
Right now I have it separated by food/crops, crafting/gems/dreamlight crystals, fish/seafood, and then flowers from all biomes!
huge shoutout to so many people in this server for giving me this idea for organization/storage. it's been such a blessing to have it like this
Flowers from Plaza and Meadow - all 50s
Flowers from Glades and Forest, some of Forgotten - all 50s
Woods, ores, crafting basics, stone, clay, pebbles - all 50s
Fish - 50s
Rare fish and seafood, seaweed - 50s goal
Gems - 50s
Rare Gems and Overstock foragables
Foragables - 50s
Garden produce - 50s
Other produce and misc
Other flowers etc
@neon cliff Sorry to bother you again, I have a question, I don't seem to be able to pick up the chests, once I have set them down in one room. I placed them in a room. But I much prefer your idea. I would like to place them outside like you did. Can you tell me how, I can pick up the ones, I already placed inside the house.? Or is that even possible.? Thank you for your time. I appreciate you so much. Thank you again for your knowledge, and empathy.
you should be able to if they are empty! 😄 so just make sure they are empty and then you should be good to go!
I love that idea I will do the same things for the tip
Thank you so much.
One thing I'm doing is adding one of the connected chests (the one you have in your house with upgrade dependent slots; if you empty it out and tuck it in your inventory, you can buy more from Scrooge's for 3,200 apiece) into each biome, so that I can easily dump my latest gatherings into a chest that goes home, where I can sort it better. My house has three storage rooms on the ground floor - one for food, one for assorted stuff like rocks and glass and so on, and the Vault (which is where I stash my gold ingots and gems, hee.) I also have chests near Remy's (to store his specific ingredients), the garden (to store garden crops), the fishing boat (to store fish), and each of Goofy's stalls, plus at least one in each biome to store whatever that biome generates until I have enough to make it worth transporting home.
Omgggggg the starter chest to dump things in while you’re out and about and sort later is BRILLIANT
Using the signs is brilliant!!!!!
Thank you!
The way I do it:
Three flower chests directly behind my home.
Seed chests next to my crops
Gem chest next to one of the mining rocks.
My house main room has the crafting table and chests with crafting materials on the left side, and on the right side i have my cooking station and chests for ingredients. Chests are separated by types. A chest for fish, a chest for spices that you pick up, a chest for fruits from trees/bushes. In this room everything is basically organized in a way if anything is required for a quest it's easy to pick up.
Then, I have two rooms of the left and the right that are filled with chests that have no particular organization (other than crafting materials being on the left room and ingredients on the right) to be used as mass storage (since crafting and cooking stations will take things directly out from them)
I put a chest next to a farming plot in each biome and put all the crops from that biome in it. Not extremely brilliant, but it works well for me!
Okay where you putting flowers that can be found in more than one biome?
There aren’t flowers that are found in more than one biome
I put all my trees and bushes together and placed a chest in front of them. Planning on adding another chest. Easier to collect all at once.
Here’s how I organized mine! I wanted all of my chests in one room. So feel free to use the layout! :)
The tables I’m using are black island tables from Scrooge’s store if anyone’s interested.
thats a good idea got mine at the house where the workbench is at the moment i might pinch your idea..
It’s Lady Brittany’s idea 😄 - I’m going to use it too! So clever. 🙌
How did you get so many tables, can you just buy a bunch at Scrooge?
Shows you how often I buy normal things from Scrooge 😂
now thats a very good idea will def copy later when i got more stuff im stuck at the fishing the boot from goofy for wall-e cos my fishing either doesnt work or im too stupid ..
Scrooge’s furniture ordering has a cap of 25 per day overall but yep, just talk to him and say you want to order something and pick furniture!
Great, thanks!
Someone else may need to give the specific counter type they used though. There are some that are 2 spaces deep and some that are 1. I ordered the wrong ones 😂
how do i organize my storage? i put stuff in a chest and pray i find it later 😂
I just bought as much as I could from Scrooge 😂
I went ahead and bought quite a few, I am now a bit more organised
Sorry I feel like this is a dumb question but what do you mean the chests go home? As in they migrate automatically back to the house once filled, or that I manually have to move it?
I’m totally mindblown about even saving stuff so I’m so inspired in this thread 😂
The inventory is shared between them! So like if you played ACNH, it’s like the garden shed things they added that will let you access storage when you aren’t in your house
Yep, what they said, hee.
Thank you!
This is my current “storage room” but I am going to break it up to have different themed rooms throughout my house designed around storing items. This is the storage room I currently have, about to delete it now though. Fair well starter storage room:
Made this map for my house storage room 😁
originally I set a chest up near the well in each biome but it was too much of a hassle so I just moved everything to between my house and the main fountain
how mine is set up
Hello. I have a question.
I moved my chests around and one chest was moved a little under the crafting table and now I can't move it. Has this happened to anyone else? How can I fix it?
This is epic and my OCD is highly satisfied
Try moving the table? That's the only thing that has worked for me
I like how your flowers are by color and not type... might have to do that for mine...
@molten whale love your idea was wondering in the second picture what tables did you use
@soft quarry think they were black counters. I can check when im home
Thank you so much😃
I use the black kitchen islands. They are solid and fit across 2 chests
Someone posted that they had access to additional big chest (the one in the house) I can't find how to get additional ones... how do we do that? Or was it maybe a misunderstanding by that person?
You have to pick it up from where it’s placed and have it in your inventory. Then you go to Scrooge and he will let you order more! These are not separate chests though- the things you put in them are shared between all of them that you place
Thank you! I was just hoping to throw one down outside a few spots so I can dump things and not have to gather from a bunch of spots
How did you get more of the big chests with the $ on it?
ohh it’s a gift from scrouge after completing his level 10 quest, then you can just order more from the catalog!
Weird, it’s not an option in my catalog (and I’ve done level 10 quest and got one)
you have to have it in your inventory, so it can’t be placed down yet
Ah ok, thank you
I can’t decide for the life of me how to best organise my food. I have fruits at the back and then I’m stuck. I’ve done the rest in alphabetical order (hence the gaps), but if I keep going like this, I can’t fit the grains in
Do the vaults hold more than the crafted chests?
no honestly i thought they did bc i watched a yt video and they said they did🫠 you might have to expand your house after you put them down but idk
Oh no 😭 Thank you for saving me the pain then!
ofc! if i find anymore info on it i’ll post it in here
No chest in the game can be expanded except for the house chest. That guy is just spreading lies 💀
i figured after i spent 100k buying more than 1🥲 now i’ll go spend tons on the house chest so ty😂
Small chance that you can see that house chest pop up in scrooges store but thats about it. Keep in mind that chests and safes have the same two lines
finally finished
A food and non-food storage room. I don't have flowers because I leave a chest in each biome for those
really liking how my rooms are coming along
I've gone for the same as others. I try to get about 100 of each item I keep, other than flowers. Flowers are all in the larger house chest. I also cook and craft in this room.
Most proud of this storage room!
Color coded from left to right
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white, black, mixed
Are these tables?
How do you get tabes
Heavy wooden tables, softwood in a crafting table
Mind blown!! Buying more chests ASAP!
I bought them from Scrooge.
With every storage room completed, this will be my last post to wrap it up. In the beginning, I took inspiration from others until I figured out how to take things my own way. Feeling very humbled for all the compliments on the work ive been (trying to do)
Lol @neon cliff I just joined this discord and was clicking through guides and went "Of course Lady Brittany is here!" (I've seen you a lot on the Palia discord)
hahaha yeah I do ALOT here ❤️ I happen to love this game alot 😄
I made guides for the critters, the dreamlight tree and am working on biomes and friendship gifts ❤️
It is so good to see you in here ❤️ I hang out alot in #spoiler-chat the most!
how did you get wood and soil on the tables?
Well like any item you drop them and drag with furniture menu. I specifically use tables with four spots so it can fit things like wood and soil
on 1 spot tables soil and wood don't work :/
Good tables with 4 are heavy wooden table (crafting menu) and then all the kitchen island tables as well
Thank you!
Should I be saving my gems?? I have just been selling them, lol.
Here is how I have my stuff organized 🥺
First Chest is outside my house and has 50 (or so) of each loved gift for the Critters (House is on the island in Dazzle Beach)
Then all of my storage is located in Peaceful Meadow as shown in the next two pictures
Dazzle Beach Sign Chests
100 of each fish across the 3 chests - Chest 3 has seaweed and the shells along with legendary fish (fugu pike walleye ect)
Plaza Sign Chest
First Chest: 100 of each Flower & 300 Oregeno
Second Chest: has 150 of each fruit
Third Chest: 150 of each fruit
Peaceful Meadow Sign Chests
First Chest 100 of each Flower & 300 Basil
Second Chest: 250 of each Crop
Third Chest: 250 of each Crop Seed
Dazzle Beach
First Chest: 100 of each Flower (no herb as they are with fish)
Second Chest: 250 each Crop
Third Chest: 250 each Crop Seed
The rest of the Biome chests are laid out the same as Peaceful Meadow chest
Plaza Chest Section (after forgotten lands chest)

Third Chest: Coal
Meadow Chest Section 2

Second Chest: Meals
Third Chest: Meals
I’ve been hearing people say they have been keeping them, so I’m just following that. You do need specific ones for quests E.g a pretty early merlin quest needs 5 emeralds. You can only get them from a few locations so searching for them becomes quite difficult. It soft-locked me for days as I just couldn’t progress until I had 5.
I just kept a chest near every stall in every biome. Then a few areas have bonus chests and they’re usually placed by a spare crafting bench
red: cooking area/food storage
orange: wall-es garden
yellow: 9x11 plot for my pumpkins
blue: crafting/storage area
I want those pants!! ❤️
@tender sphinx
You guys have so much paitence oh my gosh hahaha 😝 aww it all looks amazing though, well done you all! 👏🏻
so you leave everything in each biome?
Yep. I just like that it's by where it spawns so that I can put it away right away
Basically my storage rooms
Im so jealous of your wallpaper. Good job! Very pretty and satisfying 💜
@lapis rivet where did you get the tables from? They are nice.
U craft them, just wooden tables
They're craftable. Called Heavy Wooden Table.
@amber quest @lapis rivet aww ok thank you 🙂

can i ask how did you make so much money?
😂
I have one big field 20x20 for pumpkins 😄
Oh, I still need to unlock sunlit first 🥺😭
While making your storage area, using the wood tables, does anyone else have an issue moving some items off the table?
Like when you’re moving the stuff to get it to a different spot or are you trying to clean up?
I have been trying to clean up and move to a different spot. When I go into the build mode I can move the table and like 3 of the 4 items on the table but I can't move the last item.
Try zooming in closer (sometimes REALLY close) to select the item
What kind of item is it? Is it like a crop or some kind of gatherable item that you’d be able to use “pick up” out of build mode? I’ve found that seems to work best as I’ve been arranging things. It’s a little annoying to have to drop them again, but less annoying than I find fighting placement mode lol
Yes pick up is also a good suggestion
Omg!!! There are so many great ideas in here, I'm grateful for this channel
It's one of Remy's ingredients that you purchase from him.
Yeah, that one should definitely let you pick it up!
How come you have so many, what are you saving them for? I'm asking out of genuine curiousty, I have seen a lot of people have huge storage systems like yours. I just have one or two chests in each biome and keep the stuff there, just up to 50. I usually sell everything else. I keep my chests near houses or stalls, and I try to make a crafting table and stove in each area too for less running around.
Money is such an easy resource to get in the game that it's not really worth selling anything but pumpkins. Whenever an event or a new character comes in the future I know I can just cook or build whatever is needed without having to grow crops or chase resources unless it is a star path that explicitly tells you to harvest/forage/grow or a new resource.
I'm hoping that one day they'll remove the object limit, and then I can craft whatever I like to put in the valley even if they don't allow you to order craftables from Scrooge.
Also should I need money I could always sell something when the need arises.
And I got to say, I love the Scroogey hoarder feeling of having a 15 floor bin of riches. 😂
I stored everything at my house in those chests. Earlier I could buy the chests at Scrooge' store, after update I can't re-order them anymore?
okay yeah that totally makes sense! Also, i was SHOCKED how many rooms we get!! like bye animal crossing hhahaha
Correct you have to craft everything now
Xbox wouldn’t let me place coconut but PC did
I’ve got a whole setup that seems to be working for me. I have this setup outside my house so I can easily fast travel to my house from anywhere. Kristoff’s stall nearby if I need anything and so I can make sure to check his stock each day. This little setup of a stove, crafting table, and goofy stall for east quick access as well.
Pumpkin plots all over meadow and some in plaza for 💰
I have setups like this in each biome. I will empty my pockets into the home chest periodically, fast traveling back to the house when both chest and pockets are full.
Entering the house I have a house chest and three chests with flowers, in alphabetical order by type.
Door to the left goes to my resources/crafting room.
Door to the right goes to my kitchen.
And then of course I have house chests in all three rooms to manage my pockets as needed be. 🥰
This is the best thread I've come across in weeks!! I'm slightly disappointed to find this out now after being done with the game for now but moving forward I'm excited.
I have a room decorated to storage in my house that I group different chests in. One portion for leftover cooking ingredients, another portion for flowers and another portion for leftover crafting materials. I put all my crystals and quest items in the chest the game came with. Outside my house I have a chests dedicated to seeds. Outside of remys I have two chests dedicated to food I made. One of the food chests being for anything lower than 5 stars and the other for 5 stars. By Wall-E's garden I have 3 chests also for cooking ingredients. By moanas boat I have a chest for fish and another for seafood on the beach near it
I see all these fantastic storage ways, but I’m chaotic and don’t remember what I put where instead
I wanted to share my home storage and hopefully give y'all some ideas/inspiration. Pictures show each room from the entrance and then a top view.
I have four rooms total setup for storage, all on the first floor of my house. Each room has a vintage chest in it and each biome has one as well. When I'm doing mat gathering, I'm able to drop things off in the chests and then just grab it once I'm back home in the appropriate room. The four rooms cover gems, materials, food, and flowers.
@valid whale
how do you place things on tables
drop the item out of your inventory and go into the furniture mode and you should be able to pick it up and drag it onto the table! @tender sphinx
omgosh thanks soooo muchhhhh
Can you please elaborate more on how chests are connected? I’m very interested!!
So smart! How’d you make this? I want to organize my floors like this
is it easy to organize your stuff inside your house or outside. i wanna see. let’s do a emoji contest. house 🏠 or outside ☀️
I have all my chests inside my house, that way I won't forget to recharge after dropping everything in the chests 😅
Crap I was wondering if this was something I would eventually have to do
does anyone know how many tress for each biome is really needed?
It’s a working progress only on my 3rd day! I’m going to end up by the safes but gotta wait for all these pumpkins to grow 🤣
I made a room with things exposed behind each chest 🙂
I moved all my flowers to this area last night, made myself a little flower shop in the glade💖
they are separated by biome. Glade in one chest, meadow+plaza in another, sunlit+ forgotten in another, and valor+frosted heights in the last
the vintage looking chest that comes with the house when you start playing can be bought again by scrooge so that you have two. This chest will always have the same inventory, so you can place one in your house and one outside, and access the same items from both places. (if youve ever played minecraft, it basically works like an ender chest)
Here is the rest of my storage as well! Food is stored behind the house with other materials on the side
I didn't realize the larger house chest was connect to every large chest. I thought I was soo clever buying my daily about of boxes....whoops. Guess they are going next to my shop stalls for inventory overflow
i had that problem too and honestly it just takes some getting used to, i spent a little time getting used to the controls before i tried decorating- moving left to right, zooming in and out, just kinda switching between controls until i felt like i had it memorized a little better.
Finally done with my yard/storage area 💖 added tables to the food section so i can tell how its organized at first sight
Thank you!!!!
of course!😁
Oh, this was the og thread I was looking for! Lol. I posted this somewhere else already, but meant to here.
I did my storage around my garden and set up a crafting area, a cooking area, and a little sitting area to plant and read.

Also have a "dump chest" in each biome next to Goofy's stall.
So I just read all this and am in shock!

So you carry it with you and can put items in it while carrying it? Or do you drop it, put stuff in it and pick it back up?
I just have a few in reasonable places around the valley. Like by Moana’s boat, the garden, etc. I just find it easiest to leave them there and then periodically go back to the house and empty them out
I guess a more accurate description than AC would be ender chests from Minecraft, but I figured with the vibes of DLV odds are a lot of people would understand the explanation 😂
Oh, so like a "dump chest", yeah that's what I have, but the regular ones. I didn't know you could purchase the other one or that it has 50 slots, lol.
It makes the dump chest thing sooooooo much easier since they’re all linked 😂
oooh this was legit what I was thinking of doing (same spot too!!) will lowkey be copying this
Hay , Question, is everyone only storing the 4 items on the bench in the chest? Or mixture? I tried to copy some of what some people have but it's actually really hard 🤣
I have 2 items in my bench behind each chest and those are what I am storing in them, however some ingredients/items don’t fit on my bench 😅
Smart
I usually do a mixture of things, but like for minerals I like to separate because I like to collect massive amounts of them. so if it were flowers, i'd try and stuff as many as I can in one chest by color. so it just depends on the item and what I'm displaying on the tables to tell me which items are in what chest
Functional storage units - even though in furniture there’s a whole storage category, the only units that actually are functional are the chest you craft, the vintage one, and Scrooge’s safe. Are there any others?
Alas, I have officially outgrown my single storage room. Here it is before I massively overall my storage situation. My pride point is the Quest bin (Scrooge sign). Got a precious quest item you don't want to lose? QUEST BIN!
night/dream shards are in the safe in ||my office||
I have one whole floor of my home dedicated to storage (each room is expanded as much as possible). The main room is good items (veggies, fruit, fish, meals, etc.), I have one room for materials (coal, sticks, etc.), another for minerals and gems, and my fav room is my “greenhouse” which is solely for flowers 😊🌸🌷🌼
I am going to make storage room on the last room of my house when I get all upgraded
might start making a storage area any ideas
@neon cliff I'm looking at this thread months after you started it 
👀 it's a pretty cool thread 🧵
Whatever you do --- make it look good. Decorate your entire heart out. You'll be so much happier if it looks better, even if it's less efficient.
Still decorating but mostly these are my new storage rooms:
Room that leads to the three storage rooms:
Food Room:
Mineral Room:
Flower Room:
If you have any ideas that would work with these, by all means i am ears
I have 3-5 floors of fully upgraded rooms where each room is labeled by each category that you can find in the collection menu. And I have a chest lined up in order of the items in each category.
Speaking of storage, is there a way to expand your storage chests like you can with your inventory?
Nope. Only storage that expands is the built chest that came with your home that’s the only one that expands
Aah, that sucks haha! Well, here's to creating a bunch more chests then xD
Got tons of stone and wood. TY for letting me know 🙂
Semi-related appreciation post to the dev team for the attributes that a) allow one to access stored items from anywhere necessary without having to trek back & move them into the "on the avatar" inventory, and also b) the ability to transport via the wells without having to be at the well in the biome you're departing
the only room i have completed in my house but my favorite. i'm working on a pantry next. love seeing everyone's ideas!
why do you not have doors? I cannot figure out how to move/remove doors
oh i just have the same generic doors as everyone. In fact, I have too many extra doors i cannot us!! @heavy crypt
I wish we could remove or change them\
Bumpity Bump Bump
Under the sea storage room ^+^
Seed storage room (stockpiling pumpkin seeds incase they sneak in an item limit in a future patch on seed purchases… key word sneak)
Still a work in progress and I am no where near as good as what I’ve seen some people post in here. You all have been such an inspiration!!
Those of you with storage rooms (LOVE)--what do you end up using your larger home storage for?
I placed the Night Shards & Dream Shards into the Chest that came inside of the house, although I moved that chest outside. I also put the Quest Items into it.
I have 2 chests that are just assorted "I need this for later but not in my inventory" stuff, and I have a room that I am slowly turning into a proper storage room. Right now it just has a box for gems though. As it grows the "Assorted" chests will be emptied and moved, and used for specific purposes.
I've just basically been making rows of chests and storing things by "type", so one row for plants, one row for fruits/veggies/spices and other grown stuff, a row for mining/gems and a row for fishes, all the sticks and stones, one chest for stones and other misc items go into the chest that you start out with
hey I see you have these really really cool cheats. where do you get them from like? it's so beautiful, do they store more things of capacity than 100?
You will unlock the chest by ||completing Scrooge McDuck’s level 10 quest|| and you can purchase more of them from the shop once you get one. Good luck! ^+^
Basically as deposit box. I put items in there as my pockets fill up. Once my pockets and black chest storage are full, I’ll go home and unload everything into their proper chests.
Nice! it still only has two rows right or more?
yes, it only has two rows of storage
Haha I have a secret room in my house for storage. Glad to know I'm not alone 
What table is being used for the mineral room?
I know it's a "cloud table" i believe it's from Wall-E but I'll confirm in a few hours when I'm able
I 'm keeping the storage area in my house for now . One room for crafting and the kitchen has a back "pantry" area
Like your gem storage!
I'm very excited to share a few areas before and after storages... I'm a little frustrated because I had and idea for seed storage, but now I have to rethink everything since I can't get some extra sign posts 😭😭
I know what you're saying @versed bane
I specifically have food storage in the room I've decorated as a kitchen, and flower storage outside, but otherwise I'm not nearly so organized as all of you.
I am wondering about storage because I bet it takes days and I do not want to do that.
I didn't bother buying more Scrooge treasure safes or putting up tables with stored item displays or anything. Just put crafted chests in different rooms (e.g. food goes in the kitchen) and then spread them to different corners based on what type it was (e.g. garden harvests to the left, foraged food in the middle, fish to the right). I don't bother keeping massive numbers of anything, just one or two stacks, so I don't have massive numbers of chests and can still remember where everything goes. Not the most sophisticated system, but it works for me.
Hmm, that is a question for myself but thanks for your honest answer.
I have never seen so many satisfying pictures all in one place. I need to go and sort myself out, get some pumpkin seeds, and start buying house rooms for storage.
Thought this was worth sharing here. Not sure if this is the place since it's not just about storage so let me know if there's a better place for this. I consider myself to still be early game, so this is how I organize my stuff. This is just the Plaza, I haven't really messed with the other biomes yet.
Numbers 1, 2 and 3 are Player House, Remy's Restaurant, Scrooge's Shop, and some chests. I do have 4 or 5 rooms in my house I can use as a storage room, but having to enter the house every time my inventory is full is a bit annoying. I also like my house near the restaurant and shop.
For n. 3, I separate my chests by both biomes and categories. I do the categories the same way the game does. The first chest way in the back are for "crafting materials" so wood, rocks, soil, etc. The one besides it is for gems & shards. The 6 chests after that are for flowers. Each chest is for a different biome. The other three chests are for fish. The one in the middle is for clams, scallops and oysters. The one chest alone in the front row is for the crafting category . Not crafting materials, but refined materials, enchantments & potions, etc. And also quest items.
N. 4 is Wall-e's garden, and I also moved all bushes and trees out of their biomes. Makes it easier when I want to collect fruits. Dunno if this has to do with anything, but most of the time when I go there to collect fruits, there are more than 10 wood to collect on the ground. Maybe bushes and trees increase the chance of wood spawning near them? idk
N. 5 is Remy and Wall-e's houses. I just think it would make sense for them to live near the places they work, and also they take up space and kind of beautify the Plaza.
N. 6 is where I plant stuff. I wanted to make my farm near number 4, but unfortunately there was no space there.
I moved all unlocked pillars to N. 7 because... I could. I will probably organize them a different way later.
Jesus. Ok. This was a lot. Don't even know if I should have posted it here, but I hope it helps people (and if you have any criticism for me, please feel free to say it). If there is a better place to send this instead I will gladly move it there!!!
Oh, yeah. Forgot to mention. All ingredients go inside the house. I like to stack them until I have 50 of each. Only spices take up 2 slots (for now I have 33 slots, I think). After I have 50 carrots for example, if I have some carrots in my inventory, I will sell the 50 carrots and replace the ones in the chest with the ones in my inventory (I'm not good at articulating so my wording here must be confusing, sorry about that).
Here’s me just organising them in piles for each use on the floor in my house until I afford to upgrade and go all out.
Love everyone’s ideas!
Literally same 😂
Not alone woohoo 😂
I bought all first floor upgrades but refuse to transform them into storage rooms because I'm too lazy to keep going in and out of the house whenever I need something lol. Thing is, I don't have anything to decorate these rooms because I don't have money to buy furniture!!! (": can't wait until we get prettier chests so my mess outside looks less like mess.
wanted to post my storage set up now, before it inevitably changes with this update. i keep all my food (not including fish) hidden in my kitchen!
Oh that's smart I like that 
here's my greenhouse! storing all my flowers, wood, soil and misc pebbles, sand, etc...
and all my gem/metal/storage! aka my safe room!

Side note your kitchen looks like you did that on Sketchup 👀🫢 it looks amazing!
thanks! i use an app to remove my backgrounds for things
Ahhh gotcha gotcha that’s cool!
@lost elm OH WOW, I love your hidden setups! The kitchen in particular looks AMAZING. New goals!
What counter/table are you using to display the materials? I can’t find one that’s big enough for 4 tile items.
just wanting to add your photos and layouts look great! ❤️
Hi all, I am finally thinking I can share my WIP storage. I think I have some before and after snaps of all of them. I started with it just being storage, then realized I wanted them to look nice. This is all my first floor, and they are all still WIP between wanting more materials, and also waiting on specific furnishings (ugh my kitchen will be taking FOREVER).
Kitchen, I have two after snaps because I moved things to the corner... not sure if I'm going to switch things back
I split my materials room into a workshop and a green house. I will be adding a workbench in the workshop soon... Hoping a nicer looking one will be available soon
Finally my vault. I moved it into my entry way because it seemed to work better. This room will also be my "seasonal" room where I can put up some of the holiday decorations... this one is still very much so WIP right now
Now I want to redo my kitchen more! This looks AMAZING
Still waiting for that wallpaper for mine!! So pretty!
This looks like a nice setup! Love it!
You're a genius
just the white and marble kitchen counters from scrooge
Thank you 💜💜
I must be doing something wrong with my chests, as I bought 4 off scrooge and when I place each one next to a stall and open it its the same contents to the chest in my house. So so I have to make these from scratch to get them empty or are scrooge's chests OK and is there a toggle between all chests. Totally confused here.
BTW completed all levels to max 10. Not had the update yet (UK GMT) x
Those are the vintage chest which basically serve as access points to your home chest.
All my vintage chests placed in biomes have now disappeared. I still had the one in my house and it contained the items still. I didn’t try to place any new vintage chests in biomes to see if they go back to doing what they did before as shared storage drop zone.
!vintagechest
As of Update 3, the Dark Wood Vintage Chest can only be placed inside the player home.
If you had placed this item outside previously, it will now be in your furniture inventory under Storage. Once placed (inside your home), you will find it still contains its previous inventory of items.
Least favorite part of the update. I'm now forced to go back home unless I want to empty a standard chest in each biome.
I now have 12 too many of these, and then had to buy all new outdoor vintage chests 
Any of the vintage chests will share inventory wherever they're placed. Other storage is separate from each other, so crafted chests, or other buyable storage items like fridges will each have their own storage.
Absolutely the WORST part of this update (aside from the premium path).
I haven’t played other than to update my house skin due to accessibility issues, but im going to assume the dark wood vintage chest is the super resource heavy chests that I built one for each biome and for inside and immediately outside of my house so I could have my most commonly sold or used goods at all times? >.> and I’m going to guess that when I turn on the game they’re all going to be thrown in my storage and useless now since no one needs that many for inside their house. Is this sounding about right?
Ah yes. I’ve scrolled up and read. Sounds about right. Great. That’s just wonderful. I wonder why they decided to do that to us? Seems mean for the sake of being mean tbh. If they wanted to add another chest that was just for inside the house they could have done that without ruining all of the hard work we’ve all already put into making these chests for outdoors. What a crappy decision.
Hi All, did I read somewhere that it says our player can go beyond level 10, or was it the villagers? I got these books and no idea what to do with them, some can change from one skill to another, but these other books just don't give any idea what they're about TIA
As far as I know, the books are for changing the skill of a villager that is already level 10. For example, if you set Mickey to fishing but want him to do mining instead, and you've already reached max friendship, you can make a book that will change him to mining.
As far as going above level 10, I haven't seen anything like that, my level 10 friends still show that 10 is the maximum, even with gifting etc.
slowly coming together! Still need to craft more large chests
I think this is how I’m gonna leave my food storage layout. Four types of fruits/veggies in each chest and I tried organizing by color where I could. There’s a fridge in the corner that has fish. I now have several fridges in the house for them organized by biome 😂
Now that we can use fridges as storage I reorganized my kitchen storage. My husband said it kinda looks like a freezer storage for something scary.
I can't seem to find this ones, how do I get them?
They're in Scrooge's store, they're something like "Lightwood" or "Light" Vintage chests.
They pretty much look the same, just light wood instead of dark
This is my storage room. I have a crafting table in there for easy access to storage for my crafted supplies
In my main living area I use the fridge for items from Chez Remy, and the chest next to that is all my veggies. I have one safe for regular gems and the other is for shiny gems. The chest next to the front door is just for coal, and the vintage chest is for critter food…I’m really hoping they fix that so I can put them back in my biomes 😞
Loving all the new room photos! 
sharing in case ^^
We are hoping they fix it back to what it was 😭😭😭
oh no
Yeah I hope so. I spent a lot of time and resources making those universal inventory chests so I could have one behind Goofy’s stall in each biome, one immediately outside of my house and one in my storage room inside. All for nothing.
Yepp, that was my setup too
THANK GAMELOFT GODS!!! THE MAIN CHEST IS GOING BACK OUTSIDE!!!!!
It was essential to my system - used the main chest as like a transporter to send items to the main storage room and then divvy them up once there
Same! I haven't been playing as much because of having to go back to my house so often
How are you using it?
I'm so relieved!! I was getting annoyed by forgetting my chests weren't there and nit finding what I needed right away.
I'm guessing it's how most of us have it - where we have a chest in each biome to drop things off and then chests in our storage room/area to pick them up after.
So I’m redoing my storage room. But can’t figure out which symbol would best fit for wood? Any suggestions.
I always put it was forgeable stuff that included pebbles and rocks and such, so I would go basket personally, or maybe the clouds since trees reach to the sky
Oh the clouds was a good idea. I didn’t end up going with the basket. Thanks!
Love the clouds idea
New storage with the upgrade. Honestly upgrading all the chest took like 90% of my dark wood stacks instantly lol. I like every item being laid out and some chest have fewer items because I simply have more stacks in storage. xP
For some reason I couldn’t place the chests directly in front of the L-shaped counter without being unable to open them. So I placed coffee bags in the space 😭😂
Finally bought all the necessary safes. I love my gem room!!
What are the things that's around the stalls and how did you get them?
The monsters inc locker storage things; I’m not sure the name tho!
Brilliant idea of using the tables to display what’s in each chest. Thank you for sharing this with us! I now know how I will be doing my storage room
Meanwhile I currently have stuff all over my front lawn.. 😂
are these chests gone in the game? or were they replaced in the update?
The chests are all there. The main ones look different now since you can make them different sizes. The mickey and friends one likely went to your inventory if you had them outside your home, but you can place them outside again
I am learning how to organize and I will do it sometimes next time.
@coarse torrent they are all in here from before update
My storage rooms 😍 still have to make more chest for the flowers. But satisfied so far.
I am so impressed 😧 would it be okay if I used this idea?? I love the way you’ve organized everything!
Absolutely!! Go for it!
I need to take this idea but don't have enough room. Inmy. House yet
I love how you used signs instead of tables! Are the signs in crafting? I don’t think I’ve ran across them yet
thank you! :) and yes, the sign is in crafting under "functional items". it's called "custom signpost".
Sweet! Thanks so much! I should of known that but I’m still playing catch up since I haven’t played much the past 3 months…dang adulthood & kids 😂😂 jk
I'm having an issue finding good display tables. What are your favorites?
I get really frustrated when I try to display something (for example, flowers) and like... ONE color of a certain flower takes 4 spots when it's other color variants only use 1. Or the fish being all different display sizes.
Also I like to display each thing that's in a chest, but with the largest tables that give me 8 spots, everything just kinda looks random and cluttered because the tables hold different amounts of each flower (I'm doing it by biome but plan to switch to color coded) and then the chests are all different lengths apart. [See picture]
I just hate the idea of having one chest for one item each because then sorting will take FOREVER since we don't have a mass "send-to-chest" button for all of them at once.
So also, how is everyone arranging fish?
My flower storage room is jungle themed ^+^
Basically I have 2 chest for each biome. One of them is for the abundant and normal spawn flowers. The other is for the rare and ultra rare flowers.
Im literally so late reacting to an old message 😛 But i was so impressed with this post...
is this message I am replying to an updated version of what you started this thread with? ^^ I am literally making a word document of your organization including photos.. im horrible at organising chests and its been bugging me hahah 😄
It is not with the most recent update we have from the new chests! but I didnt change to much 😄 I can spend time this weekend and update it later!
Hahaha im fully relying on your organising skills over here HAHAH
if you want I can send you a DM and give you a better breakdown?
its okay! Your description at the top was very nice 😄 am currently in the process of making that nice looking square on the plaza 😄 i also gathered all bushes and 3 of every tree there 😄
I meant a better breakdown of my new system with the new chests 💙
well.. ,maybe that is a good idea though dont rush it ❤️ ive merely just begun with making alay out to place aeverything so if you want to do it in the weekend anyway then im sure thats enough time ❤️ 😄 😄
youre like. the organizing saint for me now HAHA
Haha sure! Just needed permission to DM you first!
Ooo feel free to! Im sorry 😄 thanks, thats very considerate!
How do I place flowers/crops/etc on tables?
Drop 1 of the item from your inventory. Go to build mode and move it to the table 🙂
Yeah, I figured that out before you replied, though I 'm noticing a lot of items can't go on the tables
Which tables are you using? There's a kitchen bench (double size) that has 4 slots, I brought a bunch with 2 slots before I realised
Black Dining. There are some things like coffee, dreamlight fruit, dreamlight & nightshade, etc. That seem to refuse being on the table. Unless I'm missing something. 🤔
I have a chest/trellis garden 🪴 by my house I love it cause it kind of reminds me of a mini maze
I have a question, what storage chest are you guys using because if you're using even the second up from the easiest to make how are you getting all the hardwood!!!!
I’m using both large and medium and I have deleted all trees but added 15 plaza trees to forgotten lands and just going to the forgotten lands every 15 mins when it spawns more wood.
Okay thanks
My flower storage room, food storage room and crafts/gems storage room 
Still need more large chests 
@neon cliff Can you also DM me an updated version of how you organize your chests?
I can spend tomorrow taking pics and updating in here!
Alright!
@neon cliff Hi! Is it possible for you to share it without the pictures?
@neon cliff Hello! I'm not sure if you saw this, but is it possible for you to just send a message without pictures?
@tiny remnant sorry if pic low quality it not I’m tv I’m at I’m sister she babysitting me wen I’m mom at hospital in a different city for a few days I’m 21 but sill live with my mom because of mine disability and some other stuff to and I help take care of sometimes she as siaraesars were her body twitches and freaks out if you know what I saying i can’t spell the right word for it and the voice to text is not spelling it right either mostly everything I gather in 2 days worth of time
Wow, that's a lot for two days! It would take me a few weeks to get all that. I still need to organize my storage, it's a mess!
The vegetables and fruit and food were not in to days
I definitely need to craft some bigger chests for holding and organizing things
Me to be low on Dreamlight us all I had for making 24 villagers into miners I olny have 9905 left don’t care to organize the food part
Forgot to share this @tiny remnant

I have a crafting storage room, a gem room, and each biome has a chest beside the fountain which holds all the flowers and fish exclusive to that biome. I have one large chest beside my orchard (not yet complete), and will be popping a chest beside Wall-E’s garden and Moana’s boat
