How to Use the Storage
Select the Item Inside Your Home and Choose to “Put in Storage”
While inside your house, hover over an item from your pockets and select Put in Storage. This will automatically place them in your storage space.
Open the Storage by Pressing the Right Arrow Button
Press the Right Arrow button on the D-Pad to open up the storage. The items are sorted by categories which you can cycle through using the L and R buttons.
Selecting the item allows you to put it back in your pockets, or placing the item inside your home when using Decorating Mode.
You can also view the number of items you have, and the max storage size on the lower left part of the storage screen.
Use the Storage Shed to Access Storage Anywhere on the Island
The Storage Shed is a piece of furniture which can be redeemed for 6,000 Nook Miles, and allows players to access their storage from outside of their home.
The Storage Shed can be placed almost anywhere on the player's island, and connects directly to the player's storage. This allows players to both put objects in and out of storage anywhere on the island where a Storage Shed is placed.
Put Away Items in the Storage Shed to Increase Island Rating
Leaving dropped items on the ground decreases your island rating, so a Storage Shed is a great investment to easily store and retrieve items without damaging your island.

How to Unlock Storage
Upgrade Your Tent to a House
The only requirement to use the Storage feature is to upgrade your tent to a house. You'll need to pay the initial loan of 5,000 Miles to upgrade to a House, so be sure to get started on paying off your loan right away.
