Hozy Resources

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.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

Finish the Attic with all tasks completeMaster the clean order: trash → floor → wallsComplete a room without rearranging furnitureUse room lighting to enhance the final look

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.

Core Habit

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.

Efficiency Tip

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.

Decor Tip

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.

Layout Tip

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.

Flexibility Tip

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.

Room-Specific

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 Room

A 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 Room

An artist workspace with an attached garden. Adds parquet removal, plank placement, and outdoor sweeping as new renovation mechanics.

Dark Music Hall

Expanded Cleanup

A 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 Layout

A sister's first city apartment with a compact balcony. Includes hidden mess inside furniture and a tighter cleaning and decorating space.

Tree House

Roof Repair

An elevated kids' hideout focused on plank removal and roof restoration instead of the usual full cleaning kit seen in earlier rooms.

Penthouse

Showcase Room

A large luxury home with a faded color palette, balcony pool, carpet rolling, and multiple window areas to clean before decorating.

Cafe

Indoor-Outdoor Room

An old pharmacy converted into a cafe. Combines entrance cleanup, wallpaper application, and wall tile placement in a single room.

Dreams

Surreal Variation

A penultimate surreal space where the mop moves cards on the floor instead of cleaning. Features unusual wall-paint behavior not seen elsewhere.

Lighthouse

Final Level

The 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.
Core Mechanics

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.

Dark Music HallSmall ApartmentPenthouseCafe

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.

Dark Music HallSmall ApartmentPenthouseDreamsLighthouse

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.

Dark Music HallSmall ApartmentPenthouseCafeDreams

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.

Dark Music HallSmall ApartmentPenthouseDreams

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.

Tree House

Garden Broom

Used for outdoor sweeping rather than indoor polishing. In the Cafe level, it clears leaves outside before the interior restoration continues.

Room Cleanup

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.

Painting

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.

1

Finish cleanup before painting

Painting usually comes after trash, floor, or window tasks. Clearing the room first makes the wall edges easier to read.

2

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.

3

Expose blocked wall sections

In the Dark Music Hall, closing the windows exposes covered areas that must be painted to finish the task.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

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.

Decoration

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 makeover

Use 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 workroom

This 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 lighting

This 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 practical

A 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 space

This 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 surfaces

The 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
Photo Mode

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.
