A giant fireplace? Artisanal tiled floors? Ooooh, how about turrets?

Create your dream home-makeover in these games.

Dated! Dusty! Dilapidated! Cheery butler Austin finds his parents’ house in a terrible state – good thing you’re there to pick new carpets, furniture and everything else besides as you solve puzzles, spruce up the home and meet the family.

When the Windmill Cafe burns down, it’s up to you to rebuild the family business one cake at a time. Merge ingredients to craft bakery treats, and transform the cafe however you like. Warm wood counters? Or fifties diner chrome? As you go, you might uncover the mystery behind the fire and even find romance along the way.

You know you’re onto a good thing when trumpets celebrate your arrival. And so they should – you’re about to turn a run-down royal ruin into your own dazzling personal palace. Match items together in puzzle levels, then match fixtures and fittings in your castle. Lovely!

Here’s an extreme home makeover with an eerie twist. Merge items from the garage to get rewards: not gems and coins, but shovels, flowerpots and fancy mason ware. Each new tool brings you one step closer to uncovering the crumbling mansion – and the secrets of one extremely suspicious relative.

It’s one thing to make over a home – but how about a whole island? You’ll start with a damaged farm: removing debris, fixing up buildings and planting new seeds. Soon enough, you’re raising chickens and building mills and before you know it, you’ve gone from picking new curtains to running a small empire.
