Disney Dreamlight Valley has opened community voting for an upcoming house skin that every player will receive for free. The vote runs entirely outside the game through the official DDV website, and you need to complete all seven phases for your choices to count. The voting window is tight, closing on June 26, so there's no reason to wait. Here's everything you need to know to cast your vote and understand what the final skin could look like.
Where do you vote for the community house skin?
The vote happens on the official Disney Dreamlight Valley website, not inside the game itself. Head to disneydreamlightvalley.com/community-house-voting to access the voting page. You'll need to work through all seven phases in sequence, and every phase must be completed for your vote to register. Skipping a phase means your input won't count toward the final design.
This is the same general process used for the previous community-voted item, the Sakura Blossom Dragon companion, so if you participated in that round you'll already know the drill.
All 7 voting phases listed
What are all the voting options?
There are seven phases covering everything from the broad visual identity of the house down to specific architectural details. Here's a full breakdown of every choice available.
Phase 1: Overall visual style
This sets the tone for the entire design. Your five options are:
- A. Cozy and inviting
- B. Grand and sophisticated
- C. Magical and nature-inspired
- D. Bright and breezy
- E. Mysterious and quiet
Phase 2: Overall shape
Six options here, giving the widest variety of any phase:
- A. Tall
- B. Short
- C. Wide
- D. Multi-levelled
- E. Round
- F. Crooked
Phase 3: Entrance
Five door styles to choose from:
- A. Arched Door
- B. Double Doors
- C. Hidden Door
- D. Pointed Door
- E. Tiny Door
Phase 4: Window design
- A. Peek-a-Boo Window
- B. Oval Window
- C. Stained Glass Window
- D. Half Moon Window
- E. Off-Center Window
Phase 5: Material
Five building materials that will define the texture of the exterior:
- A. Wood
- B. Corals
- C. Metal
- D. Stone
- E. Glass
Phase 6: Standout element
This is the feature that makes the house memorable. Options include:
- A. Veranda
- B. Porch Columns
- C. Tower
- D. Outdoor Staircase
- E. A Roof Garden
Phase 7: Overall palette
The final phase locks in the color scheme:
- A. Sunset
- B. Regal
- C. Pastels
- D. Nature's Hues
- E. Midnight/Cosmic
When does voting close?
The voting period runs from June 17 to June 26. That's just over a week total, and it's already underway as of today. The most popular choice in each phase wins, so the final house skin will reflect whatever the community collectively selects across all seven categories.
How will you get the community house skin?
The skin will be free for all players. Based on how the Sakura Blossom Dragon was distributed after its community vote, the house skin will likely be redeemable through a special code once the design is finalized and built. No purchase or premium currency required.
As for timing, the June 2026 Summer Showcase confirmed the skin will arrive before the end of 2026. There's no specific release date yet, but it will come as part of an official update in the second half of the year.
Free skin for all players
What's the best combination to vote for?
There's no objectively correct answer here since this comes down to personal taste, but a few combinations stand out as particularly cohesive based on the available options.
For players who want something that fits the classic DDV aesthetic, Cozy and inviting + Short or Wide shape + Arched Door + Stained Glass Window + Wood + Veranda + Pastels reads like something straight out of the valley's existing design language.
For something more distinctive and less common in the current house catalog, Mysterious and quiet + Crooked shape + Hidden Door + Off-Center Window + Stone + Tower + Midnight/Cosmic would produce a genuinely unique skin that stands out against the lighter options already in the game.
After spending time with DDV's house customization system, the standout element in Phase 6 tends to have the biggest visual impact on the final look, so treat that phase as the one worth thinking hardest about.
