Picnic spot
It looks like the summer weeds - the weeds have different designs for the different seasons.
the diff topiary items (bunny day, triangular, round) , pergola , the ruined items , statues , a lil picnic w the outdoor picnic set item , gazebo , iron garden table n chair , cruiser bike , cute bug models !!!
Thank you!
I need help with terraforming-
I don’t wanna give up on this entrance because I really like it
This is what I’m doing
Preparing for the festival tomorrow
What program is it that people can design their island on?
Finally got the last rock in position for my combination rainbow/rock garden today
Island designer app
Or unless you’re talking about the custom design you can get at the able sister shop and type in MA or MO codes to use other peoples designs
yw!!!
Playing too much Ghost of Tsushima
How do you guys just know what to do😭
Omg if you push the design back you can make a carnival boardwalk type thing
a little ghost called Pinterest whispers in my ear
it so pretty
thin the rivers out probably best idea and spreading them more too
Just beautiful
Well it’s kinda both a river and cliff issue cause I’m trying to get the shaping right
Thank you 💕 it’s just inspo tho for my own island
😅
still and i feel like cliff depend on area because of things you meant add and stuff
Oh I see
I haven’t even terraformed a whole island and I don’t have much experience
Ooo
happy carnival 😏💚
Happy carnivalll
I’ve been so busy with my island and irl life that I haven’t even had time to get carnival stuff-
created these little shop areas by my beachfront nooks cranny to buy treasures and treasure maps 
what layout is that??
Just a lot of hours tbh. I'm currently at 800
How do you make slanted/rounded cliffs
I feel like the design I’m doing is so pretty yet complicated
What I have 💀
Outdoor cafe 🥰
Oooo cute
can i use this as inspo for an area on my island? this is supersuper cute (=^・ω・^=)♥︎
Of course :3
I have a very large number of hours and nothing to show for it 😭
some photos frm my fav spots on my island now tht ive finally finished it lol
i love the train! 🥰
do you mean this? you just hit the corner
I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, but I’m like 98% done with my island Konohana!
I’ve also got a hyacinth field and a ruins and this waterfall overlook.
Oh! And a graveyard. The whole island is a mountain flower island. I also have a massive flower field that takes up a third of my island.
Oh nuts! I need to send pictures of my flower fields.
Konohana
DA-6154-4855-2494
Not sure what type of theme this would fall under if anyone would give me any ideas of what it would I do have a forest theme island now but I'm just having a look through the home designs and I kinda rlly like this one more than my one I alr have
You mean move houses and more for that? No thank you heh-
My layout
I use other colors to show what items go where
Like single grey square is where a lamp goes
Oops I may have misunderstood your message I thought this was just a possible design😔
it's alright, my island is already like that and if i were to move few houses, i wouldn't know where
Any recommendations for island design
how.
Cover the whole damn island in transparent floor tiles. Also no small amount of time travel.
omg ty
Once you have your rocks where you want them you can change the transparent tiles to hot pink or smth so you can see which ones you need to clean up
My campsite
@wooden olive what does it look like? 🥺
Still partying away ~
Yeah but I’m trying to do something like this
How did you get that tree in the first picture?
It’s this item 🙂
The pine tree is a houseware furniture item in Animal Crossing: New Horizons introduced in the 2.0 Free Update. As an outdoor item, it will provide an additional 0.5 development points towards the island rating.
The pine tree can be obtained from either Nook Shopping for 15,000 Bells or the Paradise Planning office for 13,500 Poki.
No village...
Working on my island 😭 still not done with it
The Pine Tree? It’s an item you can buy. If you need it catalogued I can try to let you into my island after my college classes today. I say “try” because my internet is awful. Hahahaha.
Oh I just got back into the game going for a cottage core island but I don’t have everything I need lol
Which one is better looking? The bamboo lattice or the log…? Help 😂
I kind like the right so you have yellow red then yellow (palm tree bark)
oops not your question lol I like the log fence
i rly@like the log fence ! i may be a lil biased cus ive used it alot on my own island (=´ω`=)
personally I prefer the bamboo fence in tropical settings 👀 lol
The cliffs are rounded using only 45° angles like that person above shared, there no other way to make round-like levels
I love this SO MUCH the theme is a natural city core?
yess! overgrown town type vibe ^^
I LOVE THAT STYLE i was thinking about that or cottagecore, chose cottagecore but still want the other
i loveeee cottagecore islands, i used to want to go for one but then i realized the sheer amount of utility poles i had lmaoo
Lol
What bridge should I build?
I'm going for beachcore but I'm having trouble deciding.
Sometimes can I come? Read dm
Let me check
okk
yeahh I was in between the Suspension bridge, which is that one and Zen bridge.
Relatable
I love that sm
Just 2 mental meltdown while doing this. Worth it
Indeed
Oh so I just hit the corner like the op said ?
Lovely waterfalls!
Hey, so I'm much more of an interior designer then an islander one....I am in desperate need of help with designing my island. I tried looking at inspo tips and tricks, but nothing seems to be working. Anyone here willing to, idk, guide me on how I could design certain parts of my island? Like i have no clue how i should design my neighborhood LMAOOOO

Like hold up let me send a picture
Sorry for the horrible picture....but I have no idea what do here lol
since u have a flower patch right there, maybe u could do an orchard & sitting / vending machine area in the empty space if u dont have one already?
Ooooo thats a nice idea
it could be like the neighborhood common area
Thats the idea of it! 😄
What kinda of furniture would u recommend? Like the vending machine, bench, maybe a few tables. Ooooo a park could be cool!
drink machine , snack machine , the snack item , plastic or public bench , park fountain , the party arch lights !
u cld make a little parking area w the rope fence & bikes / scooters / tricycles !
drink fountain too ! i completely forgot ab that
Though the overall theme is much more of a ruined nature vibe, I think that could work! Let me see what I can do! Anything else you'd recommend?
Btw thank you for your help!
yw !
if its a more ruined theme u could do like a abandoned lil gyroid forest or something or just make the park look more abandoned w the items i listed above !
Doing some stuff on my island 🥺
It’s the golden hour 
ooh! could you drop the path codes?? love these, mine are too beige :'}
totally cool if not ! but itd solve my island problems LOL
ooh this is so pretty!!
Look I did my best
I HAVE THIS HUUUUUGE AREA EMPTY
Any ideas of what I can do??
can someone help? i really want to design the entrance of my island with hedges and these lanterns but every formation i’ve tried ends up awkward and weird
@wooden olive no I mean where it's a picture of the island and people draw on to plan out their layout
New edit to island lol even marshal love it 😭 his kimono looks so cute

It's a website named Happy Island Designer
https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/
thank you so much !! 
Does anyone have some museum designs for me?
Took this gorgeous picture a while ago
This is mine if you want a more natural look.
Forgot to post these
What should I do in this little area by the shop?
A park! Like for kids
I think this is really cute and dainty
i think one of these would fit perfectly
lilbranchescrossing on yt has a video w/ some cute examples too
Omg that’s so cute
I’ll try it out!!
Does anyone know what I should put here ?
if you have palm trees and sum tables&chairs plus sum beach towels i think u could do something cool with that
Hi I really need advice for my island tropical/ Japanese city. I’m not practical with terraforming so come in private if you can help me thanks ! ⚠️I’m ready to pay a lot if you can give me vg advices
I finally finished my shopping area😭 any ideas on how i could decorate the bottom/ around the inclines-? (Im going for a dark academia type of theme but with natural aspects if that makes sense)
I can help with waterfalls, heart shaped lakes, and basic 3 tier levels, I have a Japanese themed bamboo forest area if u wanna check it out for inspiration
I think it’d be cute to have a kinda shakespeare and co inspired outdoor area! Maybe u could w some display cases/simple panels/stalls create a fake bookstore entrance along one of the cliffs and then have stuff like bookshelves, magazine racks, tables and chairs, a coffee/newspaper stand
Oooh tysm! I was planning on putting a little bookstore on the beach by Raymond’s house but I’ll definitely do the coffee shop!
You could maybe put a little farm there?
stressing out bc i cant find a greyer tile that looks similar to this to match the stone stairs :') i want it to be grey but not. a super gloomy dark grey
any suggestions? i could always keep the white i suppose?
i wanna make this cave blend in more with the surrounding cliff but theres a really narrow walkway in front of it and i dont wanna sacrifice too much of the land on the second level what should i do 😭 maybe some of the 2.0 vines in the corners? thats my only idea
some progress pictures of my islanddd
maybe adding some trees and other plants to cover the sides?
Does anyone have ideas for a canal in a town
YO HOW DO YOU DO THAT ON A SWITCH
krystalkat has tiles tht r similar to that but theyr a much darker grey (im pretty sure). their creator code is MA-7573-5729-2927 (^_-)☆
Welcome to Pecan’s small town school. Class is in session 🤭
this is so stinkin cute !!!
Ty 🥹 will sadly be resetting my island. But I had to post this before doing so. Pecan is too adorable as a teacher 😭
omg?? & shes the best teacher … taught her students well ^_^
Beautiful !!
Afternoon stroll (: Apollo double backed cause food smelt too good
Hi ! 
I'm looking for inspiration and ideas to make a market on my island. Don't hesitate to share with me your ideas please ! 
omg... they're graduating :')
super duper big wip… part of me is wishing i didnt make it so big bc now im lost w what to do with it.
i might remove the park elements but. what else to do
Add a park fountain to the middle or do an amusement park instead
^ or a small basketball court would be good
ur v welcome !!
planting trees as close as possible (with 1 free tile from the cliff) to cover the sides would probably help; though I think with your current layout neither side of the cave is large enough for a tree to grow..
For the angled top-down view, just open the camera app and push left or right when in at the mostly (not fully) top-down angle
For the ground pictures, you need a camera upgrade from the nook stop
If you decide to keep the park elements, you could put a soccer goal and then fill up empty spaces with weeds or trash if you’re okay with a messy aesthetic
Just finished these areas for Buzz!
Ooh this looks so neat! Not 100% on the vibe you're going for but you could make a much bigger fuller play ground. Or amp up the worn out vibe and have a rusted car + barrels + can, or to literal trash pile with boxes and garbage bags and some rusted items. I could also picture a food stall/food truck type deal at the back. Bill's suggestion of a court would fit right in too.
tyyy!!! im defo going for a mixed messy/rural vibe. added a couple more things just today, so ill post an update soon!
im going for like... playful messy/rural loved town
Ooh can't wait to see. That vibe is coming across!
bang ! lil bit of progress 
my progress on the terraforming so far (the brown dots are sand thingies for coconut trees since im doing a tropical island )
I looks pretty ✨
i love it
I love looking at everyone's awesome islands and I think they're so inspired! And then I go to my island where every path or item fits into some larger blocked out design of attempted symmetrical grid/block shape. Just seems kinda dull in comparison but it's mine. 😆 lol
the urge to completely redo my entrance after looking at everyone's photos
working on actually terraforming for the first time
WOW
i made a tiny coffee shop
this is my first ever build on my first ever island. i never really bothered with decorating until now :3 two stars (this pic is a little outdated)
can anyone that’s good at island design help me with my island layout?? im a massive noob and have no clue what i’m doing.
i’ve done one area but i’m kinda stuck until i make a plan for my island layout :/
what type of theme or look r u trying to go for? ^_^
i’m thinking kinda fairycore
but like,,, a more toned down and natural version
u can kinda see in the pic above
first time playing and i literally hit 3 star like a few hours ago so i don’t have much furniture/diy
and i don’t wanna tjme travel or accept diys/furniture off ppl
would me sending my map help?
Hey everyone 🥰
can someone explain how i get a waterfall to look like this? i don’t have a better image i’m sorry
like how do i get it to be a waterfall on two levels
to get your waterfalls to look like that, you'd make 2 sets of cliffs (tier 1 and tier 2), and then use the water-scaping tool to make part of it into waterfalls + rivers!
thank you
yes! that works (:
okie dokie
this is my map rn, the brown is path and the pink is that little cafe but i made
i’m gonna move all the houses i think, but those top 2 could stay?
here’s a very loose plan i have
bigger pink but might be a park or something? yellow dot i haven’t decided on. could be my house?
the thing is u dont wna concentrate evrything in one spot? bc u dont want the rest of ur island to b empty
id say where the yellow dot is and where the villager houses r could be a lil neighborhood?
behind that (depending on wat theme ur tryna go for) could be a lil residential seating / meetup area or even a lil park
etcetcetc
ik on my island beside and in front of the the residential area i did a lil childrens park and a like … general city looking park
yea that’s my main worry
can i see ur map??
ya gimmie sec!!!
not even close to being finished w my island but heres what i have so far !
real.
& no im not even terraforming … thts like a vanilla map layout :3
okg u got so lucky
cyd is so dad btw.
i reset the beginning so many times for the layout so idek how lucky i rly am LOL.
first time playing so i had no clue abt anything
hes so metal so i get it lol.
& thats prob the best way to play it. ive reset like so much in the past year so im just super picky w map layouts :3
yea i only started in like,,, jan 9th
omg so ur a real newbie to acnh !! welcome to the community ^_^♪♥︎
also … any suggs on how to make my post office less … boring, empty n dull? i feel like theres sumthing missing but i have no idea what it is 😾😾
plant maybe? 
ooo ... v good idea 🤔
Getting there! So close to finishing my island!! 2 home and the campsite left to do, and my rock garden!
Add a central reception desk maybe?
Amusement Park entrance
should i keep coral fencing 🪸 , or use straw fencing 🌾 or use bamboo fencing 🎋 for my farm?
can someone tell me what’s this item called?idk if i can ask here
stack of books, its a diy
my flower shop
the grass in the middle of ur island looks like a cat head
HELP WHAT IS THE CODE FOR THAT PATHHHH!!!!<33
i don’t know i’m sorry

So pretty!
My island design is so simple compared to a lot your islands.
Storytime anyone?
Thank youu 🥰🥰
Do forgive me for posting this twice but I wanted give a more detailed layout of what I have on my island.
Put more chairs and make a desk
covered counter or stall against the wall could look like a little office nook for post to be put through? I forgot the word 😭
Does anyone have a farm area? I wanna get some inspiration on my farm island!! Would love the help ❤️

Once upon a time, there were three bears who were just about to go for a walk and leave their porridge to cool...

Fish drying rack
TYSM!!
Resident Service
i'm nearly finished with my island 💪('ω'💪)
ur island is suuuper pretty ! love the rural city vibes (●♡∀♡))ヾ☆*。
tysm!!! 💗
finally working on my entrance
I wanna decorate my island to it’s full potential but I don’t know what theme I want for it
i have no clue how to fill space so im@working on a gyroid playground
i am no designer at all like i have no skills in designing but i think the idea is cute
store fronts , retro transportation stop , castle walls (depending on the vibe ur going for ! )
Somebody’s not having a very good vacation
i dont think u can use custom designs on the items i mentioned … but if u use the simple panel item, u can use custom designs on those !
yw!
I’m looking for a bit of help designing this part of my island. I’m trying to do forestcore + mushrooms but I can’t think of what to put here, opposite my campsite
ooo I love that windy river you have going on. I would suggest a forest trail with trees, mushrooms, etc. to make it feel more in closed in. You could also add a house to the left to fill in space
I absolutely love the idea of a little forest trail! Definitely gonna give that a try
finally finished my entrance!
Can someone give me tips for decorating please?
Do you have a specific core you're going for?
i want to carry on decorating my island so bad but i have like.... no map layout inspo/ideas
if anyone could post a couple of maps it'd be super appreciated??? bc where tf do i go from here
this is my current layout! it's still a wip so im not sure how much help it would be!
I did a camo flag for my town
OHH this is helpful dw dw dw!!!!!!! im thinking abt moving where my nooks and ables are rn and making th entire already developed area i have the only first story layer.......
my plant shop!! 🪴
okokok . ive started terraforming a new spot where my shops were - and its kind of given me the idea to go for a half-urban island?
like a new, modern spot with construction work - and then the upper part being rural, shack-like and farm-y
need sum help decorating villager yards ! the villagers r vlad , tangy , lyman , nana & henry ! have no idea wat to do their yards !!
Rainy beach
Hi I’d like advice/opinions on which layout looks better, thanks! Left or right?
personally i think the right one looks more full and not as open/bare
This is really cute!
seasonal area , lil book club / reading area & my house ♡(。-ω-)
Does anyone know what’s this grey wall thing?
p sure its the block fence !
Oh you’re right! On my DIY it was just plain without those patterns xD tqsm!
yw !!!
💚💚My Gyroid Choir💚💚
can anyone help me decorate my island and make it lesss.... bland? and stuff like that
I would totally put ruins there. Maybe some glowing moss too.
Hi everyone! I am new to the group and Animal Crossing game! Everyone’s island looks amazing 😭😭😭
Don't compare you island to other people and don't worry you'll get the hang of it, also welcome!
I'm working really hard on making my island better! I've been playing since the game came out but I didn't really do anything to my island until now
It's getting pretty :]
Looks soooo good! I'm also starting to design my island and hopefully i'll be able to design it well! 😅
these designs make me want to restart my island 😭 they're so good
I just finished this tiny space behind my market, I finally reach the beach 🏖 (bushes are not fully grown yet). What do you think? 
Hey, can someone help me decorate my island once i get my flowers organized?
DM me if u can
Thank you! I bet your island will look amazing
Hey, can someone please tell me the best spot on this map for my villager homes please. My island is a mess, I keep trying to redo it but then when I start moving stuff I run out of room for all the houses in the same place. happy to terraform, demolish and move existing things, open to 2 separate neighbourhoods. Thanks
Hello, looking for any recommendations on how to make my resident services building look like it's the entrance to something like a hotel. If anyone has ideas? Like what items I can use or maybe some similar photos for inspo
my island looks awful, heres a recreation of it currently. If anyone can dm me with ideas, or help id appreciate it so much! (i have enough bells for any changes)
The best way to get inspiration is to visit people's island or to go on printerest 👍 no one know your tastes better than you 😉
I think it might be quite hard as you can’t put stuff on the plaza so anything you place would be at a distance.
Do you have the little teepee tents? I can’t remember the name of them but it could be a little gyroid campsite
i need help w decorating these two areas on my island ! i wna spruce up the farm … & figure out what to due w the huge area of empty space !! i was thinking ab a flower field but im not sure (´_`。)
Yes I'm having quite a time finding inspo tbh
Closest I found is like this
These kinds. Like I love the sandcastle idea I'd love to pull off something like this but make it a smaller scale hotel
I can’t decide which one of the combinations is better. I have a preference for the left but I still want to hear about a second opinion
Go with your gut. The left does look better.
i think a plain wooden shop sign w a cute custom design + a placed shovel & some rainboots would be cute in front of the farm!
this is a rllllly cute idea !!! defo gona give it a try (☆▽☆)
anyone have any inspo for the little peninsula area on the island? i have the really circular one
BRUH HOWWW I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT PLS DM ME I WANT TO KNOWWWWWWWW
proud of it, but then I realized that I need to move it...
Island is finally coming together

map checkk :3 (minus the sections i worked on 2day !)
It took me a few weeks, but I think I finally got an island design I'm content with.
tonights progress on almost finishing around my resi services
opinions, ideas and criticism welcome!
The fence layering around resident services is so nice!!
tysm!! im going for a semi-developed fishing town thats gonna turn rural the further in u go, so i thought itd be a good balance !!
This is actually wild! I’m so curious as to what it looks like! Could I visit your island sometime?
Omg it’s so pretty!! I really like the theme, you also decorated really well!
THANK UU so much …. ur so kind 
Sure, I think i’d be up to allowing an island visit sometime this weekend.
i really want a walking dead theme for ACNH :x
Really cool to see how it's turning out, the bus stop area is so cute and I love the weeds on the dirt road. I think a damaged mini car or one of the scooters would look so great in/on the road, you may still be getting to that of course!
i have a damaged minicar in storage for this exact reason ! thank u SOOO much for the support
where do u think it would fit best? i was thinking at the top near the bridge hehe
Ha perfect. Up at the top would be good for sure, the right side also looks like it'd have lots of room to move around the car too but then you just get a front/back view.
Brooo do you have a dream address
I finished the farm section on my island yesterday
Hey, can someone help me put more items and stuff besides flowers on my island? I'm still moving building around but I would like suff besides flowers and i need some to get five stars. DM me if you can help!
ive been working very hard on my island! i plan on releasing my dream address later for anyone who wants to tour my island QwQ
I don't know actually, where do I go in-game to either get one or find out what it is?
if you have nintendo online you just have to lay in a bed and go to sleep
Yeah lay in a bed in your house and choose the option to sleep
1 chunk of terraforming done … i still have no idea what im gonna do with it GEAH
ur villager lineup (ontop of the whole vibe of ur island) is so super cute!!!! am excited 2 see how ur island develops :3 also cyd n paolo supremacy … i LOVE them. my fave elephants ever on earth.

tonights WIPs … theyre so messy compared to my complete stuff so. dont look too closely
Got it, its DA-5040-2876-3088 (would send a snapshot but its being stubborn sending photo to phone.)
Other people can’t decorate on your island.
That looks so peaceful!
That's nice
i need help decorating my villager yards … the villagers im trying to come up w a yard concept / design for r lyman , tangy , nana , vlad & henry (=^_^=)♥︎
I know but I need ideas. I don't really know how to decorate in a way that ever looks good.
That is incredible!!!
Ty
anyone have ideas for a good empty space? village theme is simple and cute
i lovee this!!!
Thank you 🙂
Expand the farm and add some deco around it like bikes, wooden tables, etc
For the lake thing on the right consider making a picnic spot in the forest that'd be so cute
i have a huge empty square of land on the first layer of the island and dont know what to do...my island is sorta fairy core middle of the woods thing...can someone give me ideas❔ i also wanted to incorporate pink in the area so could someone help me with the furniture and what i should get please
Finished one side
Hiii
Remade my entrance, what do you think?
Don't mind the date...been time traveling for flowers
pond, reading/picnic spot with flower garden
does anyone know a custom path that looks like the bricks from resident services i could copy (got no nintendo online so i gotta copy it pixel by pixel)
Hi, im not sure if this is the right channel to ask but i hope so.
I cant decide if i want to do fairycore or witchcore island.
Which one would you prefer?
going to have a fit . i have NO ideas for this space .
Fairy coreee
@gloomy summit You could do a little walkway park/sitting area to the beach (I can't tell what level it is but I'm guessing 2nd. So like benches, fencing, volleyball net and ball catcher, water fountain. Things like that in the area, then the ride with the river can have fencing, flowers, or even another bench! You could also have a little cut out for strairs or make a little sitting lookout.
Anyone wanna hangout
An entrance I made, ignore the tent my brother accidentally placed that lol
why not both
looking for some advice to make my island look nicer! please let me know if you’d like to visit and give some input!
I’ll be free in 30mins-1hr or so 
Little look over area complete
omg your island is like my dream !
haven't really done terraforming before, but i've been working on the upper highlands of my island for the past week or so, trying to make a nice forest area with some waterscaping; still a work in progress but how'd i do?
I would say you did a great job! By just looking at the map I can tell it looks amazing!
thanks, this is a video i took of the left of the island a few days back (starting at the incline to the left of the museum)
Oh what?! Dude that looks so good!
thank you, its the first time i've done anything like this, and i'm happy with how it's all turning out
Keep up the good work! Rn it looks amazing!
will do, i'll make sure to get a video later of what i've done since then (its currently 10pm so the lighting won't be the best right now haha)
Hi does anyone have ideas for a grove?
Try using lots of trees and add a waterfall?
And maybe rocks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s probably been like 5 hours but I’ve finally found an island layout I’m starting to be happy with, it’s not done yet but opinions and tips?? (Btw a neighborhood is gonna go above the drawn part of the river)
hey ! repeat post, but any ideas for this area? its second level and im going for a rural/urban fishing town mix
Maybe you could do like a boat storage or bus stop?? Idk my brain is dead rn xD
bc its the second level, im kinda hesitant ! esp bc across the river is a village
speaking of the village … quick runthrough!!
Maybe a playground? You can use those buried tire items as playground toys. Wouldn't seem too outside you theme's boundaries. Idk
makes sense ! but ive already got the playground :*}
I literally just watched the video as you said that XD
Maybe some kind of Japanese inspired garden? I'm just spitballin' really
u could do a little diy station or market? or mayb even a tiny little convenience store since its near tha neighborhood :3
OHHH CONVENIENCE STORE WOULD BE SO CUTE !! i have no idea how to make one, let alone so small … but i like that
this looks amazing!! also random side note but I think you had the same starting island as my old one 
you could also put a little gym there for all your jock and fitness villagers :0
i need to make one of those tbu
oh sweet, i saw my starting island on the happy island planner website but haven't met anyone who actually had the same one until now
this is the other side of the island that i've been working on recently (this part is much more wip)
To me that area looks ideal for a cafe. A raised view of the beach and also the river, right next to the village so your villagers can stop for tea. The thin strip between the path and river can have cafe tables and chairs or fishing rods
Better with (🤎), or without (💚) the picnic blanket? Ive been struggling with cluttering and no blanket makes it feel a bit more rural 🙃
u cld use the fence item , counter table , store shelf , cardboard boxes , n the modern cash register ! u cld also used the crane game n the capsule machine as cute lil additions :3 nd use the cardboard table item n put the tabletop pop display , carton beverage & busted radio item as like … display items ig (o^∀^)♪ it cld b like the neighborhood 7 / 11
sobbing this sounds so cute !?!? its such a small space but im going to try it . . . love convenience stores anyway so ill DEFO put one somewhere on the island
its a nice space filler & just makes sense 2 have in / around a residential area as well !!!
I’d just do a cute little fountain area with bushes and round topiaries !
I haven’t got many building materials yet so here’s my current attempt at a post office! I think walls or dividers of sorts I will eventually add throughout this and future builds, but making do with what I have. :]
super cute ! i think it looks rly nice as is :3
My recently reset island. I can’t decide if it looks better with the cherry blossoms or without them. Also, do I add anything?
I will send the same photos with normal trees shortly.
Tysm I really appreciate that
I really like the cherry blossoms it’s a nice pop of colour
looks rlly good
Yeah, really good for a 2-star island.
My previous one was 5 stars, but I got bored and restarted.
was thinking of restarting too cause i havent played in over a year
What do you think I should add next? I’m going for a Malaysia and Indonesia-inspired island.
Did I do the theme well so far?
Maybe more temples?
maybe
Definitely more bamboo and palm trees.
for sure
I mean this area.
that'll be cool
Yeah, it would.
Anyone got ideas for small spaces?
hey i need advice for my island! im looking to make a mid evil village kinda island but i dont have online.
i have a large open space in front of my museum by a beach. Idk what todo with it atm
you could do a picnic area with beach towels?
I was thinking about that but with how large the area is I don't know if I could fill it all up
hm idk then but if you need inspo i van send ya a ss of my mussem set up
Yeah!! That would help!
u rly only need online if u wna have custom designs! if u think u can make the custom designs u need ... i wldnt worry about it :3 youtube n other online resources r prob gonna b ur saving grace!
anybody have any inspo for softcore theme islands?
Unlocked terraforming like 3 days ago and now I'm truly feeling that "Your map layout matters a lot" tip I got after buying the game but didn't fully know what it meant.
I'm trying to plan some stuff and wanted the Able sisters and Nook's to be close and have a very intuitive path connecting them, like the red arrow shows. But the placement of the rivers cracks that...
If I was just a tiny bit more aware of things and chose a map with a south/east river... it'd work perfectly
The community center is also very close to the airport but I think that's the tiniest of my problems, by terraforming like so I think I'm able to hide it-
Any ideas on what to put on this cliff behind my plaza? (Besides another picnic blanket spot)
If you raised the Able Sisters to be level with the Nook's Cranny, you could connect them using cliff jumps as seen here:
Perhaps this is a better look at the cliff jumps...
Ty for the idea! I thought about rising to the same level and connecting them, but that cliff jump path specifically looks very slow to go through tbh-
I'll try to make maybe a 1 or 2 jump path tho, it's a great idea
Yeah, that's the only downside
Glad I could help! I built those cliff jumps like 2 years ago XD
Ooo, it was very well built !
Thanks! I was inspired by Lex Play's cliff jumps on her old island Lorien.
Oh Imma search for that sometime, Lex always does some interestings builds
Tried raising the levels and it rlly looks better. I could just go directly to Able's, then to Nook's through the jumping path, and the bridge when I want to go specifically to Nook's or visit the villager house 
Yeah, I believe it was the one for her house.
Heck yeah! I'm glad it worked out for you!
Tysm!
No prob!
i would have suggested a few bikes + some belongings to make it look like some people left their stuff there and wandered off but it looks like you already have a bike in the back LOL
Maybe a small community flower garden, like those that it's for the villagers to took care off, a custom design saying that villager X donated Z flowers to the garden and plant that flower on it
Like a pic of a blue rose and the image of... idk, Punchy on the side
I am redoing my entrance and I still gotta redo the tops of my cliffs but I'm going for a ghibli vibe. Any suggestions?
Oh wow, thanks for the ideas!
I hadn't thought of that, I love it so much!
So this is the current state of my island, I don't know what to do with it, I want something fun, pretty and cool but I'm not good with original ideas
If you even out both ends of your river you can have more space to plan things. That is what I did with mine so I didn't have to worry about the water being in the way when terraforming.
Yeah a double south river is more challenging to decorate
Thank you! I was thinking of flattening the whole thing, bunching my buildings into one area and planning out rivers and paths first
I moved all of the houses on mine to the upper right as a neighborhood area.
I put all of mine onto the beach to start planning
any ideas for my island? just asking so when i can terraform i know what to do for my island:D
all i got is that i wanna move my campsite to the heart pond and decorate it
You can move your villagers houses to their own designated spot, make like a neighborhood
alr!!
What are those paths?!?
thanks for the ideas :DDD
Been working on my island!!
Here you go!
I mean like the bridge!!
The castle on my island!!
Woah
What 2 colored tulips should I use for a beachcore island?
I have the same question with hibiscus's as well
Hey guys I made a custom design for patterns to go with the white version of the Moroccan set and thought I’d share my creator code with y’all
you mean hyacinths? I'd use yellow and white, and either pink or orange and yellow tulips
thats so pretty !! i love the colour theme
defo use the pink , orange , yellow & purple tulips if u want like brighter , tropical colors :3
woah! howd you make this
I took a picture of my map and drew it out in ibisPaint X
what kind of tree is that?
aaaah thats so cool! it looks so good!
evergreen ash
On the ground or on the cliff?
We're so you get the glowing mushrooms???
kappn islands or the happy home paradise island!
Oh cool thanks!
yw :3
i misread this .. i thought u meant the glowing moss ! the glowing mushrooms is a seasonal diy recipe u can get during the fall :3
Do you have a dream address? I'd love to explore your island.
The layering!!! 🤩
Thanks lol 😅😅
WIP
Any ideas for this? Id like to make a neighborhood and shopping district but idk how without making it look weird
maybe make a town where all the houses already are and put the mesuem where u have the shops rn and move the shopping area to the top
These are some small builds I recently did. Im thinking about tearing everything down now though. I’ve reached a stump even after a week break from this game. Im not longer motivated to do this theme. I do beat with brighter themes anyways.
DA-4072-0711-5051
Welcome to Ariquareo! Here you may already know all of our residents, but under their aliases. Elvis is known as Aslan, from a little place called Narnia. Filbert from King Arthur's court, a fantastical wizard named Merlin.
Chevre you may know her better when she's included with her two siblings and their adventures attempting to cross a bridge with a certain dwelling troll. Molly another villager well known for her sibling. You may have heard of "The Ugly Duckling". Willow should be a little obvious, it's pretty hard to hide. Goldilocks is her given name.
Dobie A.K.A. "Big Bad Wolf", I hear he is up to another scheme, under the disguise of Red's grandmother.
Mitzi poor thing, lost her mittens, even though she may be known for her boots.
Drift "The Frog King". Ruby the farmer's wife who is actually dealing with a rodent infestation. Deirdre is actually known for her nephew Bambi. Whichever resident you happen to find, I hope you have a wonderful time!
flower field (๑’ᗢ’๑)ฅ♪❀✿ !!
probably need to flesh it out w more flowers … but im happy with how it turned out !!
I have that color theme through out the entire island
I forgot the dream address and im not sure if everything was saved on it, just search up tree Hill and one of the few will be there
Absolutely amazed
new public laundry spot filler for just across the bridge for the village :~} im for sure gonna change the fences but... i dont know how to make it look more coherent otherwise
Secluded graveyard and campsite area, I did my best to decorate both in Japanese style! 
farm , farmers market , post office n flower shop (*´╰╯`๓)♬ taking feedback n suggestions !
instead of changing the fences mayb change the color of the drying rack? use the more vibrant color swatch … it’ll pick up the colors of the washing machines & the other items uve included in the area :3
u cld also add the retro fan / reg fan item & socks on the ground!!!
i really wanna build something by the beach thats like one of those outdoor showers and like beach changing room things but idk how to do it lol
yknow the ones on resorts?
perhaps !! im just thinking that mayb the area is just too small ? and also the fence looks a little janky possibly...
id say extend it all the way to the end of the cliff? u cant rly put foliage there anyway so that’d just make more sense imo … the second tier is always super janky (im having issues figuring out how to decorate my second tier as well) so i understand how it cld b like weird
u cld use the wooden storage shed items as like cute lil changing rooms ,,, as well as the acc changing room item ! and the cosmo shower … just depends in wat kind of vibe ur trying 2 go for ^_^
hmmm . . . u might be right? i was gonna put bushes theres, but im gonna do that !
but do wat u feel to b right also :D im just kinda looking at things from how i’d structure / design them !!
your guys islands are so pretty mine looks really bad 🥲
doubt !!!!
no its like really.... really bad
Hey guys! I need some help… I started this island back in January on a new switch (my bf’s) and I don’t know how to get the aesthetic, beautiful island designs you guys have 😭 I’d love some ideas, and I want to start working towards a sakura-themed/Japanese themed island (based on the name and my love for cherry blossom trees).
You can do like a zen garden or picnic area.. of course it will look different because cherry blossoms aren’t in season (unless you time travel)
Thank you!
Right one
Can anyone help me figure out which wallpaper this is? I thought the wooden knot wall but that one has a slightly different color.
It looks like it's a custom design, idk the code though so I'm sorry 
Thank you! I forgot that was a thing for a second ;;
Its a custom design yeah
It’s the Glowing-moss forest wall, some pillars, and some custom designed glow-in-the-dark stickers to make the wood look and the window frames!
The creator code for the wood design is MA-9344-3424-7918, in case you’re looking for it. Not sure about the window frame design, but you could also post it in #custom-design-help🎨 if you’re in search of those codes 
Thank you!!
Wanted to post some areas of my island I worked really hard on!
I posted a while ago asking for inspo for how to make my resident services look like a larger building I couldn't find much so kinda winged it, I think it did pretty well!
Welcome to **Pink Cherry Garden
**
DA-6272-4870-9074
Just did a MAJOR overhaul and just added new areas which took me around 115hrs. I am so drained of ideas, but omg their so perfect 
I can finally say that I’ve made made my dream island come true!!!
Nice! Love the area in front of your plaza so much!
Ty!
Oh I forgot to add a picture of the beach
Wow your island looks very eerie but in a cool spooky way
the fog and rain make it look fascinating
Help any ideas for this area?
Would this be alright for a neighbourhood? Red being the houses themselves and the orange being like fencing or something with decorations in the middle and around? Or should I have the houses more symmetrical on the plots? 🤔
This is so cool! Love the atmosphere.
spent ALL night creating my entrance! here's a little walkthrough!
#AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch
don't mind the clutter, I just time traveled to the morning to grab the video!
Ayy @proud goblet @still pike thank you both so much!
I'm visiting your dream address today noir, can't wait! It looks so pretty!
Could you share yours once your at a comfortable to do so? Would love to see how your island continues to grow
Do you have the code for the right one?
River canal
what i did last night hopefully more ideas don’t come to mind and i end up changing it again 
i have like two houses i hav no space for on my@island … i alr have three established neighborhoods n i have no idea where to put my last two villager houses 🫤🫤
Mini thift store <3
Beach houses are always a nice idea if you haven’t tried that already!
Looks lovely
Very nice
Thank you!
thats also v good idea … my last two villagers r ones im not even gna b keeping so mayb they can get sum beachfromt property once i get rid of them 😭
Yeah !!
ty 
Yep!
Ty!
entrance to the secret beach. (finally posting this as the second lily of the valley popped up on my island)
Wow that’s stunning!
Thank you!
Oh you can add an actual bus to this
True ! :0
My bus (Camper)
I did this
Aaa very nice !!!
For island design services, it’s better to post your request in #player-services, along with what you’re offering as payment. This channel is just for showing off your own island designs and sharing general ideas/tips for inspiration 
I loveee this 💕
Tysm!
Yes definitely!
yay house design
Started planning where each villager goes, though not being sure of most of them... And idk which smug Imma get yet so umMM 
Welcomed to ignore the texts on the right- I just wrote it to see how the hc relationships would affect the house placement.
Just read the wiki and realised Shino and Diana's friendship makes no sense- Actually snooty villagers usually don't go well with anyone lol
museum designing has officially begun 🥰
hey guys! if anyone has island ideas for a cottagecore/rural japanese pls reply to my comment!! 
My coral reef 🙂 rather happy with how it turned out
Lil flower shop build (ignore the villager with a thought bubble in the back 😭✋)
entrance terraforming has commenced
i cant think of a plan at all for this peninsula
lighthouses there are always a fun idea to fill space
FINALLY the snow is gone
Entrance done (?)
if I want to make a really good island design, should my resident services building be closer or farther from the airport?
It is widely considered to be easier to design an island with the resident services building further from the airport.
alright cool thanks
just finished my new starbucks for my train station 🙂 pretty happy with it
thts so cute omgee / pos
Starboos
nice! can I ask what furniture items were used to display the starbucks word and logos on the second tier, and what was used as a wall for the first tier?
yeah! so I used black wide display stands for the whole thing and large panels for the logos after just searching up "starbucks" in the criteria section 🙂
the wall is just a cliff with panels infront hope that helps
tyvm
The ditch next to my Nooks Cranny gas station/mechanics storefront! Timmy n Tommy come out here after a long day for a smoke n a beer. Follow me on ig if you like it! My handle is crossingwithkib
Dude, they're underage. XD
Lol
i’m not really sure if this is where i should put this but does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do here? i wanted to make a small neighborhood for 4 villager houses with customized yards but i don’t have much room and the yards become so cramped one i put the house / fencing in.. does anyone have any tips 😭😭
Theyre the only child sized characters that drink coffee at brewsters, so in my mind theyre at least young adults or teens lmao
finally terraformed my tree house inspired home area
Do you still have the code for the pattern you put on the sand?
yeah! im a bit busy rn but ill find it today
this is the creator im pretty sure 🙂 cant double check on my switch bc im out of the house rn
I love this!! What’s your island’s theme?
It is a national park with 5 different biomes, coral reef being one of them
Hey people i need some help please. So i want a forestcore themed island and i want to make a lake but idk where. Should i flatten an area on my island?
Island views aka the only fully built parts of my island 
Omg thats lovely
we used to be a bustling fishing town. nowadays you’ll only find one lone fisherman; a visage of our former glory (aka started my secret beach build)
Could someone give me some ideas for my fairycore island's entrance?
I feel like the empty area that's to the left of the campsite would make a good area :D
What's the pilar thing called?
decorative pillar
That would actually be a good spot. thanks for the tip:)
everyone’s so creative and it’s so cool to see such different types of builds
made a lil photo shoot area
No problemo! I'd love to see it when its complete!
saw this fountain design online that i've worked on integrating into my island, i think it looks pretty nice
also made a little picnic area as well
(area is still wip)
thats so pretty
thanks :)
i love the picnic idea too ive been wanting to have one in my island too lol
yeah i've been able to get some picnic items from nookazon which was great
i've got a forest area in my island highlands and then this park area just below it
the base of my island is gonna be a mix of forest / farms, so i'm gonna need to find some more farm items haha
aah i cant wait til its done
yeah i'm really looking foward to seeing it finished, but i don't want to rush it either
just gonna take my time :)
Anybody got any idea for a fairy/cottagecore theme?
Stage still in progress
Which one of the gray stone paths look better with the rest of the paths
I like the bricks, but the stones look good too
the stones are the best imo
Yeah stones are good
How does it look?
More mushroom?
Also I made this little area and I really like it so far
Maybe a couple more Mush Lamps would be nice
Alrighty more mushroom
Or some Glowing-moss boulders
🤌🏻
considering your island has a lotttt of empty space, id merge the 4 smaller plots into 2 larger plots with yards then make the other plots on another part of the island
Working on my tropical resort island!
Entrance for my new island! Any feedback will be much appreciated 
Where can I get those pillars?
theyr the ruined pillar item ! u can get them from messages in a bottle on the hhp island or kappn islands :3
My new ice cream stop by the carnival 🍦 🌈
Thank youuu ❤️
yw!
Thats so colorful, love it
My grand museum entrance. If you guys think something else needs to be added around the area let me know. Whole island is Egyptian themed and areas are still working in progress
You can use great statues if you have them.
A part of my pixie woods 🧚♀️
I havent got great statues atm but if I run into few I will use em there
a WIP
omg this is so cutee, may I have the codes for the pathway that is in the center please?
This looks so good
i'd love to know the codes for the pathway if you have it please
thanks, i appreciate it :)
here are the path codes
Ty for the fast response!! 
no problem :)
Was gonna respond but saw that someone else responded! is that the one you were looking for? 
I observed for a whilee but i'm not sure 100% if both of your path codes are the same or not so if you can confirm it for me hehe 
Yup same one! this path is just too good 
Absolutely I have one but it is so simple! Gonna take my time redesigning some parts of the island! Ty @crude glen !! 
gives a much more natural look rather than the cartoony look of most other popular path codes
which is why i prefer it over others
@river pike yup for real 
Three Little Pigs -DA4072-0711-5051
I want to redo everything on the island except for my museum but I’m not sure what to do. anyone have ideas?
I made a pumpkin patch, flower area, diving area because I couldn't put my house on the peninsula I have for my island. Made Kapp'n his own area if your dock is long enough to fit everything you want there. Put my shops in a shopping district type of thing so it would be easier to get to them
I can craft you them if you want!
Your island is the island I'm from 😭
I want to restart since I don’t like the placements of the airport and town square, but I have over 400 hours and too much stuff to be able to save at a friends 😭
DAAAMMMN I JUST SAW THAT AIRPORT PLACEMENT
I'm hoping you figure out something
Wait a minute your airport is the same placement as mine hahaha
omg map twinsies
What's more unfortunate is the fact yours is next to a beach 😥
I made a cool little mountain area to sort of avert people's gaze though, so it's definitely possible to work with
yeah itd be ideal to have the two shops in front of the town square, but at that point they’re in the way of the airport or on the beach 😭
ohhhh a mountain area? that sounds awesome
It's slightly changed, and I need to get a new path code, but it's pretty much the same
It was so nice finally being able to put it somewhere haha
I don’t think I’ve played since any of the newer updates so I’ll have to see what items there are now.
There are tons now!

Those wheat fields are my favorite hahaha
yeah you have great pathways and terraforming there is really creative, I always forget I can terraform 
Thank you!! Thinking of what items to use is probably the hardest next to terraforming
I don't want it to be too repetitive yk
Also if you ever have bandaid socks laying around those are great for floor decor haha
Do with that what you will though
What should I do with this area? I personally don't know
getting depressed looking at all these islands 😭 i have so much i want and need to do it’s so overwhelming that i just end up turning my switch off 😞👎
Same!! And I don’t have enough items / ideas
was messing around with terraforming and I liked how this looks but idk what to put in the middle, any ideas?
pipe😈
How about a brick well?
I put a stone fountain but I want something boujee 🤣
Anyone wanna visit my island and give me some inspo for the empty spaces? I’m trying to make a horror island
How about a Gazebo!
I can visit later, going for a similar horror style myself
I’ll dm you!
I feel the same. But have to remember that it didn’t happen overnight for anyone. It takes time to build and design everything. Don’t be too hard on yourself!
omg you’re onto something
That would be great thank you!! I will give you any materials you need but I can’t get online just yet but I can later if that’s alright with you?
I did something like that on my island, but I did two layers and I put shino's house in the middle lol
Cute ❤️
Finished land bridge
it's been a while since i posted something on here but this is what i am currently working on.
any ideas for the other side?
This has been my one and only island since acnh came out and worked on my island 1015 hrs. I love my fly by entrance that I recently built a month ago, but I'm thinking of restarting cause I hate how my islands beaches and river ends layout is. So some pics before restarting 😭😭
Woahh
u cld do like lil apartments on the other side or continue the market :3
A bit of what I’m working on, this leads up to my residential area
FINALLY GETTING THERE!!
Work in progress, but I’m starting to like my museum decorations
make sure you save a dream address!!!
Raymond's japanese convenience store and ramen stand 🙂
any tips for starting maps for a forestcore island? :0
does anyone know how i can reshape this small (pathed) area i want to make a museum plaza
just finished cleaning up my island if anyone would like to come and have a look
Made progress on my skyline!
Just designed my entrance for my mushcore island. Its not finished yet as i still need to add some fencing but I'm interested to know what you guys think and if it even looks good lol. Let me know if there r any ways i can improve it 🙂
would anyone be willing to help me with designing my island?
Adding some mush and other green elements. I circled some of them main times
thanks for the idea!
This are the flooring codes I use to add a little more of that mushroom feel
Ty I'll definitely use these 🙂
I love it
tysm
a wip functional shop alleyway ❤️
this looks so cool!! what's that item next to the torii and stall on the right called ? the flaglike thing, i've been looking for it for a while
ty! it's a Vertical banner
oh ty!! <3
I'm trying to create an island that goes from like elegantcore to cottage core, but im unsure of how to create a seamless transition between the two - do you guys have advice or photos of transitioning themes (doesnt have to be these exact 2)
uhh I would suggest just using a lot of those styles of furniture and decoration together
sorry im sending a message again, but i have so much empty space up top and dont really know what i want to do with it, do yall have any ideas maybe a bigger grove? that dirt area is just gonna be all garden
my new fountain area in the rain
Flower shop and Able Sisters
love the theme of your island, looks great in that photo and the map looks great as well
i really like the sand paths that you used at the front, would you be able to tell me what ID they are?

what pathing is that? they remind me of muddy puddles with that rain, it’s adorable
I have this area right of my entrance that’s empty and I’m wondering what I could do/ add to fill in the space?
hey, thanks! here's the code for the pathing
You could totallyyy add like a mini garden or like a waterfall that’ll be super cute or if you already have one that cool too lol
OOOOOO!!! That’s a very good idea, thank you :D
Npnp, I’m working on completely redoing my island soon so I’m also thinking of some ideas
That sounds fun! Do you have a theme in mind?
Yes yes but it’s like 2 themes lol, like an old fashion Japanese island and the other half is like a harbor/ ocean town
Big big plans
I hope everything turns out well! Definitely sounds like a lot of work ^^
Thanks you too! It sure will lmaoo
Made this outline but don’t know what to fill it up with, any suggestions/ideas?
Maybe benches and lights around the fountain and hedges and topiaries in the corners
Ty!
I wanna teraform my island like this but idk where to put the buildings
Sorry for the @ but could I ask how you got that minimap in the corner?
If you don't press buttons for a couple seconds it comes up 🙂
Go to the map app on your Nook phone and you can press the X button to change the mode of the map on the bottom corner.
The 3 options are: off while moving, always off, and always on!
I haven't seen anything this pretty that isn't cluttered in so long omg 😭
Anyone have ideas what to do with the little open space?
Picnic surrounded by a flower garden?
That would be so cute! Thank you 🫶🏼
thanks i really appreciate it
What do y’all think looks better? The wild log bench or the regular log bench?
imo the left one
Anyone any nice ideas to add to flamingo beach?
More flamingoes
Tysm!!
Hey I don't know if this is the right channel but im trying to put a design down on dirt and it overlaps the dirt instead of following the curve. Some designs do this and others don't. Is there a particular design template i have to use for it to fit? Thanks
Nvm i was able to figure it out! For anyone curious, you just puta transparent block to your design in the corner and then it fits xx
Haha, working on it, but I also want some more decoration around the flamingos. But I don't know what.
You could probably add some coconut trees and maybe some beach chairs/towels
Oh, that could definitely work. Although, I wouldn't be very relaxed sunbathing between flamingo's haha
Think about how relaxed the flamingoes would be lmao
new terraform-er here. struggling with inspiration. anyone have any ideas how i can get this project back on track? was hoping for layers.
also that flamingo inflatable pool toy for sure
OH! That I like. I love that object
might be fun to download some floor designs of water too, since I know flamingos like to wade in shallow water. also I adore this idea and might do something similar at some point!
still a work in progress, but a drink spot overlooking resident services 
Haven't thought about that. Smart!
Yeah, I saw the flamingo statues and thought they were really awesome, I needed to do something with them haha
Where is Furniture Trade, I can't see that channel
Thanks
hi guys 😎 ive spent all my time on acnh (like 6 months) collecting money and items and working on the museum etc, now i wanna design my island but i have no clue what to do on any of it
any ideas/tips/terraforming ideas are welcome here or dms!!
(kind of trying to go for like a dark forest vibe!!)
Opinions on the camping site I made? What should I add n stuff ^^
This is so pretty
What do you guys think? Any improvements?
Does anyone have any ideas for a library? If I can get the items, I want to make a library, but idk what to use and stuff
r u looking for it to be a full fledged library? or just an outdoor reading area?
Something similar to this, but not as many bookshelves and simple panels and stuff, a little smaller and in my style
I reckon using the 'stack of books' and 'tiny library' furniture items would set the literary scene nicely in a compact space ❤️ also maybe one 'magazine' item on a table (or a faux outdoor rug on the floor) would be the cherry on top!
picture is from the internet
Ooh! That looks good! Now I've just gotta go trade for some of that bc I only have the couches, plant, tiny library and book lol
Need suggestions thinking about getting rid of the 3rd level on top right and closing some of the river made marks to show . Had to get a bigger picture on the lite
Some pictures of my wip island
Nook’s Cranny & Bookstore
does anyone hav any tips for a normcore theme? im super tempted to reset my island & just make a normcore island (since i ddnt really gwt to experience that side of the game … i got the game 2yrs after it came out >_<) im feeling rly burntout w decorating my own island … and i just wna do something simple atm
Any tips to improve my market space? I want to keep it loose, so probably no fences or big structures, but I’m open to any ideas
maybe add some paths, and try to make it REALLY colourful, but also make it how you wish to make it :)
Some hedges and maybe an entryway path (with like steps or something) could be really cool! Maybe some more lights (street lights or maybe those shopping district types?)
Thats my shopping district finally
Thats so awesome
I don't know how ppl do that tho
It's so much placing and planning
Maybe some custom designs and fortune cookie carts. Idk tho I need to know island theme for advice
Any advice for some cottagecore builds? I've already made a resturant/café, a beekeeping shop, shops in general, and a library.
Laundry area? Using the DIY clothesline for the wooden poles, wash bucket, water pump, etc ( photos pulled from google )
Ooh! That's a good idea! I could probably make that, I just need to get some of those diys
looks like something kinoto built.
here’s a little one i have outside beau’s house
Cute! I might make another small one beside lily's house, considering she's a villagers with the education hobby. I made a bigger one, but I need a Birdcage to complete it
that’s why i put mine next to beau’s, i ended up designing the inside of his house to be the island’s library
loving all the ideas
i have no idea what i want to do with my island 😭
Neither do i 😢
if i just had like a layout of my own map i’d be good
anyone have suggestions for japanese rural/city player exterior* house designs ? i'm planning on doing all the relocating of buildings today to decorate but i'm having trouble
if moving houses wasn’t 10k i’d have plenty of ideas 💔
Oh I love this design! Having the books tuck behind the house is such a clever idea, do you have a dream island?
new farm area i've made by the beach, still a bit of a work in progress, but what do you think?
can someone help make a layout of this island ?
just the basic things like the buildings, houses, etc. i’ll do the pathing and such
Wow
My new entrance 🌿✨
Made a library, but I think It might look too fairycore for my island (my island is a cottagecore fairycore mix, but the fairycore aspect isn't typically too crazy) any ideas on how to make it more cottagecore?
maybe change the book stand next to the couch to a less-colorful design, (if possible) maybe make the wood floor less saturated and more natural, use less white and more browns/greens
Ok! I'll send a pic after some changes to see if it's any better
yep! lemme go grab the code rq, my island is abt 50% completed
DA-5119-5304-3897
Looking forward to checking it out!
Made some changes and I think it might look a little better? Idk tho
I need a second opinion on this design, should I put a circle or square under the pergolas?
Hey guys! Does anyone have any tips for redesigning your island but being afraid of ruining it 🥲
I would say square to match the square of the pergolas
That’s what I ended up with, thank you! 🙂
Np! 
I hate my Plaza so much
I'm trying to go for a vague European countryside sort of town/island - do you all have ideas? Also, what would go well with brick fencing? If brick is the right choice. Maybe the stone fence with the terracotta path if not?
need name ideas for kidcore / rural japanese / towncore island (╯ಊ╰)
oo i like that :D
Can someone help me with my grandma core island?
I think am gone delete my island and start over
Does anyone have an observatory on their island? Looking for inspiration!
Depends what part of europe you’re going for, if you want foggy rainy Western Europe then brick is the way to go. If you want warm sunny sort of countryside central to south europe I’d go with more wooden fences, and beachy colorful vibes
I’d pick a vague general area and make that the most prominent theme, but don’t be afraid to blend them together and experiment with different transitions 
in my vintage forestcore island i turned sherb's house into an observatory! i dont have a pic of the inside on me but its got a small library and telescope area
Here's my (finally) finished campsite 🙂 behind it is a Teddy bears picnic
My gas station is complete I love the truck
Anyone have ideas for decorating Maples yard?
Planning out my island before I start terraforming and such. Penny for your thoughts
Do u do island tours/have a dream address?
That looks gorgeous!!! 💙
Okay so for the past few days I’ve been flatting my island and starting over and I’ve built a few things but I ran out of ideas and need help cause im not that great at decorating
yeah! that island is still underwraps a bit (i need to tour the island's dream from before i flattened and redid it before i update the dream 😂) but i'm planning on posting it's da here when its released!
My wedding area
So I realized I didn't give myself a lot of entrance space, but I really like what I've got so far 😂 Any ideas?
a sewing/laundry area by ables and/or a crafting/market spillover in front of nooks would be cool! but a classic sitting area by either would also look nice i think
Part of me is debating just redoing the whole store area further back but that feels like so much work 💀 I wish I could just grab everything and move it
But at the same time I kind of like having everything right near the entrance? I'll give those a try!
as someone above suggested, little outside areas to the store would be nice. could also fill the green squares up front with plants/bushes/etc to make like a green planted area!
Here's what I ended up with!
that looks amazing!! 
I love the little desire paths in each side haha
Thank you! 😄
oh thats really cute!
Thank you! I still may try the ideas you came up with too on the other sides of the trees ☺️
Made this library, but it feels like it's missing smth. Any ideas or recommendations? Also, any ideas for maples yard? I have her, but I have no idea what to do with her yard lol.
Maybe a fence around the edges? Maybe more sofas too. I like to have lots of sitting options in my libraries lol. You could do 2 sofas in the middle of the floor leaving room for a pathway between them. Also maybe a mush lamp inside too. Do you have the Moroccan furniture? Moroccan sofas and footstools would look great in here.
Maybe a rocking chair as an alternative
