Everything you need to clean, restore, and decorate in Hozy
Complete Hozy Walkthrough
Hozy follows a linear structure built around nine restoration spaces. The fastest route is to clear clutter first, finish required cleaning tasks, then place furniture at the end of each room. This walkthrough tracks the full progression order and the key actions that finish every level.
Attic — My Childhood Home
Use the dustbin to collect all trash, then mop the floor after debris is gone. Paint the walls with any available color, and clean both windows to complete this opening room.
Workshop — An Artist's Creative Mess
Use the crowbar to remove rotten parquet and throw broken floor pieces into the metal bin outside. Place new planks from the garden, sweep the flowers near the leaf bag, and decorate the room.
Dark Music Hall — The House of a Peculiar Musician
Collect all trash and cartons into the dustbin, then mop the floor completely. Paint both walls and close window covers to reach hidden wall areas, then reopen and clean all six windows.
Small Apartment — My Sister's Apartment
Remove trash and clear the bed compartment. Move the portable staircase and stool out of the way, mop the floor, clean equation illustrations from windows, paint the walls, and place furniture around the small balcony.
Tree House — A House Where The Kids Rule
Remove broken planks from the edges and turn the camera to clear damaged roof planks. Place new red planks on the roof, unpack the boxes, and arrange the furniture.
Penthouse — The Home of Somebody Who Couldn't Buy Happiness
Turn off the static TV first, then collect all trash including debris near the balcony pool. Mop the floor, pool marble, and stairs, then roll out red carpets, paint the wall, and clean the balcony windows.
Cafe — It's Actually an Old Pharmacy
Sweep leaves outside with the garden broom and collect trash from the cafe floor. Apply wallpaper to the front wall and tiles to the left wall, then clean the outer door glass and place the furniture.
Dreams — Everything Works in Usual Ways
Use the mop to move cards into the bag or out of bounds. Clean the two countable windows, paint the walls until the task fully clears, then place furniture to complete this surreal level.
Lighthouse — This is The Secret Project
Use the dryer gun to remove dampness from walls. Move boxes inside and mop both floors. Place steel steps on the staircase, lay black-and-white floor tiles, place brown wall tiles, then finish the windows.
Quick Tips
- Always check the task list if a room refuses to complete — a missed window or surface is usually the cause.
- Clearing all trash before using other tools prevents blocked movement and makes the room easier to read.
- In the Dreams level, the mop moves cards instead of cleaning — push them out of bounds to clear them.
- The Lighthouse dryer gun removes wall dampness; use it on discolored wall areas before placing tiles.
Hozy Beginner Guide
Hozy is built around a calm loop: clear clutter, clean surfaces, restore room features, and decorate last. New players usually lose time by placing furniture too early or using tools in the wrong order. This guide keeps the process simple and efficient from the first level onward.
Clear All Clutter Before Using Tools
Start every level by picking up trash and moving it into the bin. Clearing the floor first prevents tools from getting blocked and makes the rest of the room easier to read.
Keep the Bin Near Heavy Clutter Spots
Moving the bin closer to the mess reduces back-and-forth movement. This is especially useful in levels with lots of trash or cartons scattered across a wide area.
Clean in a Stable Order
A reliable order is windows, floors, then walls. Clean windows early for better visibility, mop after debris is gone, and paint after nearby surfaces are already tidy.
Leave Decorating Until the Room is Finished
Furniture placement is easier after all required cleaning tasks are done. Decorating too early makes it harder to move around and often leads to unnecessary rearranging.
Adjust Furniture Instead of Rushing Placement
Items can be rotated and moved before you settle on a final layout. Shelves, corners, and wall space help rooms feel fuller without making them feel cluttered.
Use Room Interactions to Improve the Final Look
Open windows, adjust the lighting, and interact with room elements to shape the atmosphere. Small presentation choices matter a lot in a decorating-focused game like Hozy.
Hozy Tips and Tricks
Even though Hozy keeps its core loop simple, a few habits noticeably improve pacing and room quality. The most useful tricks come from handling clutter first, respecting the cleaning order, and paying attention to the small interactions that change how a room feels.
Start with a Full Clutter Sweep
Pick up all trash before touching other tools. This opens floor space immediately, keeps the room readable, and prevents wasted movement later in the level.
Use a Smart Surface Order
Windows first for better visibility, floors next after debris is removed, walls last so the room is already clear. This consistent order saves the most time.
Check Lighting Before Final Placement
Open windows after cleaning them, turn lamps on and off to test the mood, and fix dark corners before taking a final screenshot of your finished room.
Take More Time With Furniture Than Cleanup
Rotate pieces before dropping them, use walls and corners to add depth, and spread items naturally instead of bunching them all in one area.
Hide or Move Extra Pieces When Needed
You can move items between indoor and outdoor spaces in Hozy. Tuck extras out of sight if they break the look, and rearrange freely until the room feels balanced.
Watch for Special Room Rules
Not every Hozy level behaves the same. Some clutter is hidden inside furniture, some rooms need extra interactions like shutters, and certain spaces change the tool flow entirely.
Hozy Levels Guide
Hozy currently has 9 levels and follows a simple linear progression. Each completed room unlocks the next one. The overall structure stays consistent, but every level introduces a slightly different layout, theme, or interaction that distinguishes it from the previous space.
Attic
Opening RoomA childhood home space that works as a tutorial room. Introduces the basic dustbin, mop, roller, and window wiper loop for the first time.
Workshop
Repair RoomAn artist workspace with an attached garden. Adds parquet removal, plank placement, and outdoor sweeping as new renovation mechanics.
Dark Music Hall
Expanded CleanupA musician's hall with more windows, more cartons, and window-cover interactions that require closing and reopening to reach all wall areas.
Small Apartment
Tight LayoutA sister's first city apartment with a compact balcony. Includes hidden mess inside furniture and a tighter cleaning and decorating space.
Tree House
Roof RepairAn elevated kids' hideout focused on plank removal and roof restoration instead of the usual full cleaning kit seen in earlier rooms.
Penthouse
Showcase RoomA large luxury home with a faded color palette, balcony pool, carpet rolling, and multiple window areas to clean before decorating.
Cafe
Indoor-Outdoor RoomAn old pharmacy converted into a cafe. Combines entrance cleanup, wallpaper application, and wall tile placement in a single room.
Dreams
Surreal VariationA penultimate surreal space where the mop moves cards on the floor instead of cleaning. Features unusual wall-paint behavior not seen elsewhere.
Lighthouse
Final LevelThe secret final project. Introduces a dryer gun for wall dampness, staircase step placement, and both floor and wall tile installation.
Management Tips
- Each level unlocks automatically after completing all tasks in the previous room.
- The Attic works as a tutorial and introduces almost all core tools before later rooms add variations.
- Total playtime for all 9 Hozy levels is typically 3–6 hours depending on decorating pace.
- The Dreams and Lighthouse levels have unique mechanics — read each task list carefully before starting.
Hozy Tools Guide
Every level spawns the tools needed for its current tasks. Learning what each tool is for makes room flow much smoother from cleanup to final placement.
Used to collect loose trash, cartons, and other small debris before deeper cleaning starts. In several levels, clearing trash first opens enough space to mop properly.
Mop
Used for floor cleanup and dirt removal across many rooms. Handles dusty floors, marked surfaces, and even unusual messes like the scattered cards in Dreams.
Window Wiper / Squeegee
Used to clean windows, glass doors, and marked window surfaces. Also used to wipe off the math illustrations covering the apartment windows.
Paint Roller
Used to repaint walls after cleanup. Some levels offer three color choices, and painting tasks often come after the room has been cleared and windows have been handled.
Crowbar
Used in repair-focused spaces to pry away broken planks and damaged wood. The Tree House is the clearest example where it is the main restoration tool before replacement pieces go in.
Garden Broom
Used for outdoor sweeping rather than indoor polishing. In the Cafe level, it clears leaves outside before the interior restoration continues.
Start with dustbin
Mop after clutter
Crowbar for repairs
Roller for walls
Hozy Cleaning Guide
Most rooms begin with cleanup before decorating opens up. A clean route usually means removing clutter first, then working floors and glass from the easiest angle.
Remove trash before anything else
Pick up loose garbage, cartons, and floor clutter first so the room opens up and the mop can reach more cleanly.
Check hidden or cramped spaces
In the Small Apartment, the bed compartment also needs cleaning. Tight layouts can hide debris behind furniture or near balconies.
Mop every marked floor section
Do not stop at the obvious center path. Floors, marble sections, stairs, and dirt marks all count in different rooms.
Use the window wiper on every required glass surface
Some tasks are regular windows, while others are special surfaces such as equation-covered windows in the apartment or the Cafe door from outside.
Treat room-specific messes as real checklist items
The Dreams level uses scattered cards instead of normal debris, and they are handled with the mop into the bag.
Outdoor cleanup can come first
The Cafe starts with leaf sweeping outside using the garden broom before interior trash and wall work.
Hozy Painting Guide
Painting becomes easy once the room is fully opened up and the blocked wall sections are exposed. Several levels use simple color choices, but full coverage still matters for completion.
Finish cleanup before painting
Painting usually comes after trash, floor, or window tasks. Clearing the room first makes the wall edges easier to read.
Pick up the roller and choose a color
Some rooms offer a small set of paint options instead of a huge catalog. The Small Apartment offers light yellow, light purple, or peach.
Expose blocked wall sections
In the Dark Music Hall, closing the windows exposes covered areas that must be painted to finish the task.
Cover the full wall, not just the obvious center
Rooms with windows, corners, or tight layouts can leave small unfinished strips. Keep rolling until the task is fully completed.
Expect unusual paint behavior in some levels
In Dreams, a texture-remover paint option also counts toward the wall task even though the room behaves differently from the earlier levels.
Move on to furnishing only after the paint task clears
Once the wall work is accepted by the checklist, the level flow returns to decoration and object placement.
Hozy Furniture Rotation Guide
Furniture placement feels much better once the rotation input is clear. Hozy lets you adjust an item freely before setting it down, so small angle fixes are worth doing early.
Pick up the item first
Rotation only works while you are actively holding the furniture or decor piece.
Scroll the mouse wheel to rotate
Use the mouse wheel up or down while holding the item. Clicking the wheel does not rotate the object.
Fine-tune before placement
Nothing is locked in until the item is placed, so you can keep adjusting the angle until it looks right.
Use camera movement for visibility, not item rotation
In cramped rooms, holding right-click to move the camera helps you see the placement area from a better angle.
Re-pick items if the angle still feels off
After placement, simply pick the object back up and rotate it again until the layout feels natural.
Trackpad users may need an external mouse
The most reliable input for rotation is a real scroll wheel, especially on setups where trackpad scrolling is inconsistent.
Hozy Decorating Guide
Hozy gives you creative freedom without overwhelming item bloat. The best results come from using lighting, spacing, and room identity together.
Attic
Warm starter makeoverUse the newly cleaned floor, painted walls, and window light to keep the first room simple and readable.
- Anchor the layout around the main seating or storage piece
- Leave visible walking space so the room feels restored instead of packed
- Let natural window light do more of the visual work
Workshop
Creative workroomThis level mixes indoor restoration with garden cleanup, so it looks best when furniture placement supports an artist workspace feel.
- Use the repaired floor as the visual base of the room
- Group furniture around a working zone instead of spreading everything evenly
- Keep decorative clutter controlled so the studio still reads as functional
Dark Music Hall
Atmosphere and lightingThis is one of the strongest rooms for ambience because lighting, music, and scale do a lot of the emotional work.
- Turn lighting into a focal point instead of filling every corner
- Use the large room size to create breathing room between furniture groups
- Frame the space so the dramatic windows remain visible
Small Apartment
Compact and practicalA smaller floor plan rewards cleaner furniture spacing and more intentional angles.
- Avoid blocking movement paths
- Use smaller furniture clusters rather than one crowded pile
- Rotate pieces until the room feels efficient and lived in
Cafe
Welcoming public spaceThis room works best when the layout feels social and open rather than decorative for its own sake.
- Create a central visual area first
- Keep seating and decor balanced across the room
- Use lights and windows to make the room feel active and inviting
Lighthouse
Clean lines and strong surfacesThe final location stands out because floor and wall finishing play a major role before decoration settles the mood.
- Let tile and surface work stay visible instead of covering everything
- Use a restrained furniture layout to keep the space distinct
- Build the atmosphere around height, windows, and openness
Hozy Photo Mode Guide
Hozy includes a simple but effective photo mode after level completion. It is built for clean room showcases rather than deep editing.
