Stardew Valleyplayers on Reddit have discovered a feature that can greatly improve their decorating skills - and it’s been hiding under their noses the entire time.Stardew Valleyis full of secrets, ranging from weird items players can find through hyperspecific courses of action, to hidden mechanics that completely change how the game is played. Sometimes, though, it’s the little things that make all the difference, and this latest discovery is just that.
In a Reddit post,crybabyniyadetails their revelation:it’s actually possible to rotate furniture inStardew Valley, even though the game never really tells you how. The original poster used this feature to create a little coffee corner, consisting of a small table and chair, some potted plants, and a row of kegs.
To rotate furniture inStardew Valley, right-click while holding it. On PlayStation, the control for rotating furniture is X, and on Switch and Xbox, it’s A.
By the looks of their farm, they’re quite far into the game, with severalIridium Sprinklerskeeping their crops watered, but they admitthey’d just discovered how to rotate furniture by accidentimmediately before making the post. And as it turns out, they’re not the only one.
Rotating Furniture In Stardew Valley Leaves Some Fans In Awe
Seemingly Obvious, But Undiscovered
The comments of the original Reddit post are full of players voicing their mutual shockat the ability to rotate furniture inStardew Valley. One such player,Lillith-1230, puts it perfectly:
So apparently, despite being pretty easy to achieve,rotating furniture is a little-known secret. It’s not the only one of its type, either. Every few days, there’s a new Reddit thread about how a player with 100+ hours in the game suddenly discovered they could put torches on top of sprinklers, or addclay to fish tanks to create castles, or check the bundles from the main menu without having to hike to the Community Center every time.

Top farmer in Stardew Valley has laid out how they have generated 3 Million Gold before completing Year 1 on their farm, sharing their exact process.
These things may seem like common knowledgewhen the player first posts about them, and frankly, in any other game, they probably would be. But that’s not an issue withStardew- it’s actually one of its greatest strengths.
Our Take: It’s The Little Discoveries That Matter Most
Keeping Stardew Interesting
In any other game, mechanics like rotating furniture would be covered in long tutorials, likely preventing players from doing anything else until they’ve mastered the basics. This is a valid approach at times,but it’s not the one thatStardew Valleytakes, and for good reason. After a brief introduction, players are pretty much thrown into the action, with nothing but a few basic tools and a handful of seeds. They’re left to their own devices, and while they receive the occasional tip via a letter or a hidden note, most of what they learn, they learn themselves.
And honestly, with a couple hundred hours inStardewmyself, I only just recently discovered that you could rotate furniture myself, when my partner did so by accident. (I’m not much of a decorator.) A week later, I saw a video about the secret statues you could find by decoding the gibberish lost book and taking random items to hidden chests - yes,that’s a thing, too.It’s these discoveries that have kept me playing for years.
Even After 250+ Hours, Stardew Valley Fans Miss Major Feature That Makes Organization A Breeze
Seasoned Stardew Valley players may be missing this one trick that makes inventory a breeze, as well as other opportunities to improve gameplay.
These little discoveries are the greatest joy of the game: not romancing NPCs, not watching my money grow, but figuring out weird little secrets like rotating furniture. Every time I think I’ve seen it all inStardew Valley, something like this pops up to prove me wrong.
