How does designing villagers houses work?

[UglyMonsterFace]

So there are a few things I'd love to know!

1. Can they still alter their house and put up their own furniture after you redesign their interiors?

2. If I incorporate a crafting table or kitchen in the design, will they use those when making DIYs or will they still randomly pop out their own?

3. If I make certain spaces a bit tight, will they be able to access those areas where our player character would have to sidle through? Like will I ever walk into their house and catch them sitting on a chair that is half a space in front of a dining table?

4. And this is just a for fun one since I know this isn't a thing, but does anyone else wish we could also go into their closets and customise the clothes they could wear? I think that would be super cute ^_^

I posted this quite late so perhaps it didn't get many eyes on it, but I'd still love to know the answers please! <3

Can’t answer the rest, but as to 2, I know when villagers have DIY benches in their standard furniture (because I still have one of my very original villagers, and because my second sisterly, Sylvia, has a workbench as part of her default,) they use the one that’s in their home. Can’t imagine that’d change if you give them a new one. I haven’t caught Pancetti or Sylvia cooking yet off the top of my head so I’m not sure if they use their standard kitchenettes then or if they put a compact one in the DIY bench’s usual place.

I would love to know the these as well. mostly cause some of my villagers have ended up with clothing items that look awful on them . . . . Poor Raymond has a pink sheep costume . . . .

You can't change their clothes. I tried but you didn't get the option like you do in HHP. It makes sense, since regular villagers rotate outfits. I figure that redesigning their houses might help, since you can give them the clothes you'd like them to wear and delete any they decide to display.

I'm not sure about the first two but I think they might still display items as usual and I assume the workbench/stove works as normal, so if they have one they'll use it, and if not, they'll temporarily bring out a random one.

No idea about the other question, sorry.

1. Can they still alter their house and put up their own furniture after you redesign their interiors?

Yes, I believe they can.

2. If I incorporate a crafting table or kitchen in the design, will they use those when making DIYs or will they still randomly pop out their own?

From what I've seen, it seems 50/50. I'd honestly just make sure there's an open area for a dresser or another 2x1 item for them to replace.

3. If I make certain spaces a bit tight, will they be able to access those areas where our player character would have to sidle through? Like will I ever walk into their house and catch them sitting on a chair that is half a space in front of a dining table?

Yeah, as long as they can access the chair from the side, they will sit on it. However, I don't know if this is true for sofas.

4. And this is just a for fun one since I know this isn't a thing, but does anyone else wish we could also go into their closets and customise the clothes they could wear? I think that would be super cute ^_^

Sometimes.
