How to unlock the Master Decorator achievement in Chicory: A Colorful Tale - Definitive Guide

For this achievement there are 223 total decorations.

There is a missable decor item in this game. It is a Family Portrait from your mom. At some point in the game, your mom will call to come see your home. She will also suggest that you decorate it. When you hang up the call with your mom, go back to your house in order to collect the decor.

If you're missing one at the end, I suggest looking at the story based section. Technically the item it story based, but it can accidentally not be picked up. You'll still be able to pick it up later in the game though.

  • 130 for Lost Kids
  • 10 for Classic Paintings
  • 8 for Character Specific
  • 72 for Litter Purchases
  • 3 that are Story Based
Lost Kids
There are a total for 40 Lost Kids in Picnic. They are pretty easy to spot, as they shake whatever they are hiding in. And whatever they are hiding in, won't hold paint. Additionally, a really helpful in the game, is once you find a certain number of Lost Kids, you will receive a tool that will tell you how many Lost Kids are left in an area. After finding Lost Kids, talk to Beans in Luncheon to collect decor sets.

Classic Paintings
As you play the game, you will find and unlock art brush styles. As you collect art brushes, you unlock art classes in Potluck. When you have finished all the art classes in Potluck, go to the Master Gallery in Elevenses and Talk to Marzipan to collect all the paintings.

Character Specific Decor
  • Radish's Painting: Received after fully completing their side quest.
  • Family Portrait: Received from Mom when she's visiting your home. This is missable
  • An Art Degree: Received after finishing all art classes.
  • Fan Art: I got this after finishing all art classes and talking to Peppermint.
  • Honeysuckle: Received after finishing Hummus' side quest.
  • Chicory: Received after delivering mail to Basil
  • Couch: Received from Avacado after decorating for the rooftop party.
  • Gaming Console: Received from Taiyaki after delivering mail.


Litter Purchases
There are 3 shops to buy decor from with Litter.
  1. Dinners: Plant Shop
  2. Tea Time Meadows: Instruments and Records
  3. Feast in Grub Deep: Bug/Germ Related Decor
  • I want to add here that at the end of the game, there will be 3 new items to purchase from the Tea Time Meadows Shop. And when the game ends, you wont have enough litter to purchase them. You will have to collect litter from Basil in Luncheon and litter from the children in Elevenses.
Story Based
  • Painting from Chicory
  • Brush Flower: you'll get to a section where you're collecting brush flowers. Chicory will say you only have to get 4/5. The fifth one will count as decor.
  • Flag from Chicory: End Game

I've gotten to a point where I have 212/223 but I still have items left to purchase at the plant shop but no more litter to collect. Talked to elevensies children and Basil for litter as well. Is there any more way to find post game litter? I am hoping I don't have to go back to every spot to see if the game registered the litter or not.

This achievement should have a missable flag, should it not? I tried submitting a flag, hopefully others will do the same. The info on this game is pretty lacking, considering the play count, so I'm unaware of any patches that fixed the problem presented in your first paragraph.

Edit: I've applied for it to be labeled as missable

I'm honestly not sure how to flag an achievement as missable

I am only piece of trash short from buying (what I think is) the last decoration from the plant shop. I got the trash from Basil and apparently the kids from Elevenses. Is there anyone else that gives you trash? I have the collect all trash achievements, so I know I didn't miss the ones you pick up..

Edit: I got another piece of trash from painting the mural in Diners.

If anyone wants to know exactly when you get the phone call from mother to get the family portrait; for me it was on the beginning of chapter 6, just head to the phone booth in Luncheon and it should ring with exclamation marks on top, go answer it and immediately go back to your home and complete the objectives there. I've submitted a flag change for this achievement as well.

@DarthLordX2X : I didn't get the call until after the 3rd Wielder Trial. I think you only get the call after collecting a certain number of Decor items.

In my case, I have been collecting all the Cats and Trash and not spending anything. So when I turned in all 40 cats at once, I suddenly got 130 pieces of Decor. Then I went Northish up towards the closest phone booth and got the call.

So if you're spending Trash and Cats and collecting decorations regularly, the call could happen at any point in the game. Or if you save all the Trash and Cats and only spend them when you have everything, you'll know when the call will happen & won't miss it.

I didn't have to get any litter in the post-game? Had exactly 12 remaining to buy the post-game decorations. I think the commenter just missed those ones in the initial playthrough.

I'd suggest going to go talk to the character that tells you the area with the most trash. They don't tell you exactly where in the area the litter is, but there are a few video guides for all the trash in areas. I also know in the water/ocean areas, there's sections that don't show up on the map. And some of those sections have litter.

The game's quite generous with collectibles and side quests, if you ever found yourself having trouble with finding or finishing them you can always call home for hints end game. However, according to various sources this achievement is potentially missable.

I have noticed that these achievements pop delayed, but this one is not popping at all. I am sitting at 100% in game, (223 Decorations, 25 brush styles, 120 clothes, 40 kids, and all the litter) but this one wont pop. real annoying, do not want to collect everything again, but screw me I guess.

Like Tokenlad I've had numerous delayed pops and a few that didn't pop at all. I made a cloud save prior to getting my last piece of decor, but still needed to delete the local save three times before picking it up properly unlocked the 100% achievement.

I believe this only becomes missable if you don't pick up the phone as I only decorated my house after beating the game and managed to get the family portrait but did pick up the phone when prompted. When heading back inside my house my character said something along the lines of "Mom is coming! I should decorate here!"

I'm looking through my Decore items and I am missing 3 Sounds (records). They should be sold by the Litter Collector near TeaTime Springs, but there are 0 items left to buy in the store. Anyone have any suggestions?

@Remeki how do you make a cloud save? I thought all saves were done locally and cloud if you're playing while connected to internet.

Upon beating the game three new records become available for purchase at the TeaTime store. Basil, the hyena gardener who lives one screen left of your character's house in Luncheon, also gives one piece of litter upon game completion.

In regards to cloud saves I apologize for wording that poorly. I played the game locally, not via cloud gaming, so the cloud save I was referring to was the save on Microsoft's cloud storage.

@Remeki Thanks for info.

I finished the game.

I was able to buy 2 of the 3 records as "Litter Collector", but can't afford the last one, like you said. I have 3 pieces of trash, as expected.

Oddly enough, the additional places to get trash is not needed to get the Achievement for picking up all pieces of litter.

I had to talk to Achiote and Olive in Elevenses for my last piece of Litter.

That put me at 4 trashes to be able to buy the last record. This achievement unlocked.

Now if only "Turnabout Squeeze" Achievement would actually unlock.

MISSABLE

There are 223 pieces of decor to collect in Chicory: A Colorful Tale. You will acquire these items through a couple of means:
  • Perhaps because it is the only item you own at the beginning, your bed in your home in Luncheon counts as a decor item
  • 130 pieces in total will be awarded for finding all lost kittens (See Lost and Found trophy_silver.png).
  • 72 items will be purchased at the three litter exchange vendors (found in Dinners, Tea Time Meadows and at The Feast in Grub Deep) 
  • 10 paintings will be awarded at the Elvensies Master Gallery after you have completed all 20 Art Academy classes (see Graduate trophy_gold.png).
  • Chicory will paint you a portrait in Chapter 3, let you keep a brush flower after the Banquet Rainforest Wielder Trial (SE area of the map between Chapter 6 and 9) and give you a flag at the very end of the story
  • Basil the Hyena in Luncheon will give you three Chicory plants during the mail delivery quests (see Such Great Heights trophy_silver.png).
  • In that same mail delivery quest, Taiyaki the Fox in Brekkie will give you a gaming console
  • Avocado (The snake trying to throw a party on top of one of the tall buildings in Dinners) will give you a couch after you decorate the rooftop
  • Hummus (the grieving Koala in Tea Time Meadows who misses his friend) will give you three Honeysuckle plants after you decorate the grass with flowers.
  • Peppermint (the crazy-eyed bird that follows you everywhere because they are your biggest fan) gives you their reproduction of your self-portrait
  • Radish will let you pick and keep one of their three paintings when you help them arrange the gallery showing (see Cartographer trophy_silver.png).
  • Lastly and most importantly - The only MISSABLE item in the game at the moment: The Family Portrait: Midway through the story or at least once you have collected enough decor through some of the above means, you will get a call at an area phone booth and it will be your Mom. She will tell you to decorate your little house in Luncheon so she can visit. I suggest you drop everything you are doing at that moment and decorate your room straight away. Once you have placed down some floor and wall coverings, a chair or two and some Objects in your room in Luncheon, leave the house and the screen your home is located on and return to the inside of your home again. You should see your Mom inside your home - talk to her and exhaust all dialog and make sure she gives you the Family Portrait before you leave the scene. There is a known bug where if you miss out on talking to your mon when she visits or if you wait too long to decorate for her to come over, you will be locked out of her ever giving you the item. This means you will be forced to start a new game and collect everything (all litter and decor mntioned above) in a second full playthrough of the game.
Below is a collectible guide in two parts that show how to collect all clothing items, litter and decor for all trophies that are associated with those collections. Please note I show how to collect the first 30 clothing items in better detail in Passion for Fashion trophy_gold.png and a few peices of decor and litter are gathered during the mail delivery quest so see Such Great Heights trophy_silver.png for more detail on those if needed:

Main places for looting decor:
1) At the spider-bugs in the cave, there is a merchant there, he changes the decor to garbage
2) In the gallery where your reproductions of “famous paintings” hang - for each restored one you will receive a copy
3) During the Afternoon Tea, return the lost kittens to mom, for which she will give away decor sets. When you collect all the children, he will give away all the remaining sets at once
4) In the forest, where there is a canary on the roof (Tea Meadows?), inside the house you can also exchange decor for garbage
5) There is a place where you can exchange trash for plants.

I collected exactly 222 pieces of decor. but the trophy didn’t fall out, I did everything, I bought everything. But it turns out that in the Bullion Forest after the waterfalls there is one more flower that needs to be taken. The trophy is yours!
