Animal crossing remove custom design from wall

hey. someone i gave marshal to for FREE went to my town and put a design i hate up and it's infected all my villagers even though it's only been there for a few hours (fantastic! love to suffer for being nice!)

apparently it's impossible to phase the design out unless i amiibo card all my villagers (9/10 of which are my dream villagers and i've dumped 600 hours into this game lol)— ... a friend of mine is going to make me NFC cards of all my villagers i had, but it still hurts. my villagers seem to always hang out with a specific villager they really like, and i don't know if RNG will give them the same bonds they seemed to have formed

i've replaced the design slot with a dress i made unwillingly as i've never had an interest in designing clothes pixel by pixel, but everyone's still wearing that damn design after i put in hours into trying to make something that i'll be sort of OK with everyone wearing. ... fascinating how an unsolicited rude rando can just mess up 600 hours of love in a second though, and how reporting to isabelle doesn't get rid of custom designs and how this is a thing they haven't fixed for months in a kid's game where people can make custom designs of anything at all lol. i don't care what the villagers choose to wear from the ingame clothes like some people lol, but something about someone doing something without my permission in /my town/ after i gave them /my marshal/ for free sets me off and it's a constant reminder of how rude it was. hell, even in my frat days in college none of them ever bothered messing with my able sisters in NL lol

— as for the actual question, though. is there a way for me to remove the design slot? i had a pristine able sisters because i didn't want my villagers wearing stuff other than the ingame items. i can replace the slot however much i like, and thank god they only put one thing up, but i can't seem to kill it.

Accent walls! They're all the rage. But up until now in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we haven't been allowed to have them — only boring walls for us.

But the 2.0 update has changed that for the better, because now we can change one single wall to another wallpaper. Hooray!

Animal Crossing Accent Walls - How To Create Walls

First of all:

1. Go to your house
2. Go to the room you want to have an accent wall

From here, you have two choices:

The Hard Way

1. Get the wallpaper in your pockets
2. Walk up to the wall you want to change
3. Select wallpaper
4. Select "Set Accent Wall"

You did it! HOWEVER. You can't take that wallpaper off without going into the decoration mode, so if you don't like it, or you want to change walls... you'll have to do that.

The Easy Way

1. Go into decorating mode (down on the D-Pad)
   
2. Open your storage (right on the D-Pad)
3. Go to the wallpaper section and find the one you want
4. Face the camera towards the wall you want to change
5. Hit X to set as an accent wall

How to remove accent walls

For removing accent walls, you just repeat the process:

1. Go into decorating mode (down on the D-Pad)
2. Open your storage (right on the D-Pad)
3. Go to the wallpaper section and find the one you want to remove (it should have a little green-on-white tick on it, indicating that it's in use)
4. Hit X to remove the accent wall

Easy peasy!
