In a Reddit post, a user known as HermioneStranger_ shared a look at a charming Stardew Valley rug they had made. Impressively, the rug featured a part of the game’s iconic title screen. Specifically, it captured the two pink birds that fly past the screen, copying their pixel art design. Behind the avians, the rolling green hills surrounding Stardew Valley's Pelican Town could be seen with blue sky above them. The rug had a circular design and looked perfect to display inside a house.

With more than 6.4K users upvoting the design, some inquired into the technique used to create the impressive rug. Fortunately, HermioneStranger_ provided some details in the comments, revealing a rug-tufting gun was used to recreate the iconic Stardew Valley title screen. In addition, the creator shared the name of the website where they plan to sell the rug, as many hoped to purchase one for themselves.

Like the rest of the game, Stardew Valley’s title screen holds a certain charm that keeps players coming back. The combination of ConcernedApe’s relaxing music and peaceful visuals invites players to journey to the valley and see everything Pelican Town and its inhabitants have to offer. In addition to this awesome rug, other fans have showcased their own art of the game’s starting sequence. For example, one player took things in an intriguing direction, creating seasonal backgrounds for Stardew Valley’s title screen.

Many Reddit users said the rug created by HermioneStranger_ compelled them to jump back into Stardew Valley, and 2025 could be a good time for lapsed players to do so. Last year, ConcernedApe released Update 1.6 for Stardew Valley, introducing lots of new content to check out. Since then, the developer deployed subsequent patches to add even more content and fix bugs.
