He also has two sleek sofas and standing spotlights in symmetrical positions. He uses the concrete wall and sleek carpet as wallpaper and flooring.

In New Horizons, Jacques' house is similar to how it was in New Leaf, but the sleek series is mostly substituted with diner series furniture. He has the diner sofa, mini table, counter table and two chairs, and the neon clock and sign. He retains his DJ's turntable, which is accompanied by his laptop and synthesizer as his new musical equipment. He has a couple additional items hanging on his concrete wall, such as a surveillance camera, two starry garlands, and an exit sign. He uses the steel flooring and, notably, his favorite song has changed from K.K. House to K.K. Technopop.
