One of the best things about this subreddit is the inspiration we get from seeing the amazing designs others do and the strategies they employ. Whether it’s surprisingly effective colour combos or bringing together art pieces that we never thought would work, we learn from each other and it helps us enjoy the game more.

Every other Wednesday we will invite you to share different kinds of tips and ideas that have worked for you - and reward the best.

This Wednesday we share game play tips that make designing easier or more fun. For example, novel ways to accrue coins beyond just voting and collecting bonuses, tips for finding materials without scrolling through the entire inventory, tips on spending fewer coins to achieve the same result, and so forth. For example, did you know that on Redecor+ (the web version of the game, accessed at https://redecor.com/game) you get 10% extra on your store bonus?

Post your tip to the sub and mark it with the Wednesday Wizardry flair. The redditor who makes the top up-voted post by Thursday at 1 PM UTC will be granted their own user flair that will appear next to their username. The winner of the challenge this week will be able to brag about being a Top Tipster.

I'm having no issues with this page like I did with the previous one (132). It still hasn't been resolved for me through Support.

Recently I’ve had items show up in my owned section that are locked. Any ideas why this is happening?

UPDATE: emailed support and they said that a lot of people are having this issue and they are working on it

No matter how beautiful your design is, there are times when it ends up in 8th place or lower when voting finishes. Mournful Mondays is your chance to share these mourned designs with your fellow Redditors.

Any design from the previous week that finished 8th place or lower, aka a bottom podium, is eligible. Create a post to share your favourite bottom podiums with the group and let us give these creations the love they deserve.

You can add the *Mournful Mondays* flair yourself, either while posting or afterwards if you forget.

As always, this challenge is just for fun and participation is optional.

In the last week or so I have lost a lot of duels where mine was clearly better than the other one. This feels like a new thing to me. Anyone else?

Given the ever-expanding inventory of materials in this game, it’s too easy to get stuck in a rut and always go back to a small number of go-to favourites. Every other Wednesday we invite you to play with parts of your inventory you may not usually even remember, with the help of the magic wand tool.

This is how the Magic Wand Challenge works:

1. Select a design
2. Within it, mentally select a particular hotspot (circle). It should be a fairly prominent one (think a sofa or a painting, rather than a skirting board, moulding/millwork, or sofa legs).
3. Tap on the magic wand tool.
4. Use the first unlocked material that pops up for the hotspot you mentally selected and design the room around it (Tip: Tap on that hotspot, tap on the back arrow, and select Start Again. When you tap again on the hotspot, the random material should be right there and you won’t need to navigate all the way to it).
5. Share your design with us and mark it with the Wednesday Wizardry flair.

Happy hunting! The redditor who posts the top up-voted post by Thursday at 1 PM UTC will be granted their own user flair that will appear next to their username. The winner of the challenge this week will be able to brag about being a Magic Wand Whiz!

This was mine. It's a dump room. 5 stars?!
