Living the Dream
Palette House lets you draw and create food, clothing, buildings, pets, and items such as books and video games. Start with the category that matches how the creation will be used instead of treating every drawing as the same item type.
Living the Dream
Give suitable creations to residents or place supported creations as decorations around the island. Nintendo presents Palette House as part of island life, so the useful choice is whether the result belongs with a Mii or in the landscape.
Living the Dream
The game mainly uses buttons, while the Palette House workshop also supports touch controls in compatible scenes. Joy-Con 2 mouse controls are not supported, so use buttons or the touch screen instead of planning around mouse input.

Living the Dream
Your creations can be sent to a nearby player's device through local wireless. You may share only work created on your own island; an item received from someone else cannot be re-shared, even after editing or using it as a base.
