I noticed that quite a decent amount of people put their residental area on the east of their island. The thing is i reserved that spot for the orchard, and i've also made a decent entrance to my current residental area..
@distant moat I don’t think it matters where you put it. My residential area is on the lower west side
@distant moat no need to change your island plan because of what others do :)
i feel the same way! i think i'll invert the left ones so that the houses are closest to the pathway. but i'll start moving in the villagers on the right side first just in case i change my mind lol
@stiff oasis it'd be cute if their gardens were near each other. I imagine they'd great each other from there gardens :D just an imagination tho haha
I mean, they kinda look cool. And also my current location just eats up a ton of space.. have you guys seen my island layout? Because i dont want to send it over and over and be repetitive haha-
thats cute! 😭 if i wanted to keep the houses next to the path then i guess i could just swap the ones after those, so that the yards meet if that makes sense lololol
The outdoor garden party area of my functional keep
awesome!!
WoW
Thats amazing!
Guys im looking for beach area please help🥺
Almost done my Biergarten ☺️
Each neighbor has his own vibe, but all the patios are the same size🤩🤷🏻♂️
This is what my island looks like..
Well this is what it looks like a week-ish ago. The entrance is different and i snapped the bridges.
my island might be messy but the map looks good at least haha
I gave my villagers their own personalized yards. Though i think it might've been too big.
My island looks like an absolute clusterfuck lmao
Does anyone have any tight space ideas for able sisters? I have a small yard to the side. I think it’s like 3x5
@distant moat I did the same with my villagers😂😅
@distant moat I did the same with my villagers😂😅
@flat plaza Great minds think alike
what channel do I use to see outdoor decorations/areas show off?
This one
This one right here
I think-
does anyone know of a website/app where I can try to design a layout for my island?
Happy Island Designer

@craggy pivot happy island designer!
@leaden orbit wait are you German or do people know what a "Biergarten" is. Looks awesome btw!!
its done alot but maybe a loom & stool? or if its more casual, mine just has a stool with a sewing project on it and then a cushion to sit on 😂 you could also put clothing there on mannequins

@stiff oasis is this for me? Haha sounds good
yeah!
There's an empty space next to my house. At first idk what to put, but after some thinking i've decided that i want to put a grave there for my late grandpa. I miss him so much.
also in case anyone cares, i decided to mirror the houses on the left lol i tried both ways in that 3d island planner and it looked so weird not mirrored
Time to get golden can for those golden roses.

@stiff oasis thats fine, do what works for you:)
@civic isle not German, but I’ve seen so many photos of stuff like this I wanted to make my own
Im still deciding on what to do for my rivers. I've been struggling on making a new layout for them.. any help please?
do u wanna make them look natural?
i suggest you to leave the natural rivers alone because once when u get rid of them, it will be really hard to make a new natural one.
Yeah. I want to make a tiny lake on the west side, but idk if i'll have enough space.
Just finish decorating Kiki’s house from Kiki delivery’s 😊
that’s so nice!
Thank u 😊
That's amazing!
Any ideas on what to do with a fountain?
like making a fountain or decoing around one of the IG fountains?
Im gonna go sleep. Its 12am. Cya'll tomorrow!
Hey everyone 😄 I don’t have any idea for my campsite 😦 does anyone have some good campsite inspo for me ? 😄
Does anyone have yard inspiration for Antonio?
Anyone have suggestions for what sort of simple panel design could go well around my town hall? I have stone fences now as that’s all I can really fit, but figured simple panels might be more interesting
@turbid parrot what’s your islands theme?
does anyone need LOTS of ideas for empty space on your island?? i have like 20 and i’d love to help people out 🥺 dm me if u want
@fair prawn it's a mountain town that has a pretty prevalent garden theme
@plucky socket I have an empty space outside my house
My museum is done ...yay
@turbid parrot
someone has the code of this? or knows the code of smth alike?
Does anyone have any good examples on how to display a outdoor band stand? 😊
I cleared my island out and now idk what to do
too much empty space
find a theme that you want to go with and start from there
This is what I have so far all the way at the top
anyone have some island theme ideas? i love plants, white and wood. i’m just not sure of what that would be called?
I wanna see people’s nooks crannys and able sisters outside decor ! 🙂
Can I see people’s music rooms inside or out please? 😁🤞
@proper haven it's called "cottagecore"
Anyone have an idea for around the campsite, Japanese/Asian themed?
hi! does anyone have any pics of their neighborhoods? or houses and their yards? thanks!
@proper haven you don’t need a theme name, just do what you like! White, wood and plants sounds like a lovely decorating scheme
@tacit ivy
Looking for recommendations for what to use for a counter in an outdoor restaurant with wooden floors, I tried the dark wood den desk backwards but it was a little too dark and too fancy for my tastes
@green token thank you! i want it to have lots of nature but still have a modern feel
@proper haven that sounds like Chic style
@merry bough thanks! looks great
@tacit ivy thanks
Trying to make this area a fishing place, but have no ideas. Anyone got any?
@proper haven I feel that, my island is something similar. I made the center more “modernized” and other areas more wild and garden like
@clever lodge I used dark wood stalls with ivy overlay
Ooh interesting, okay
@topaz stream maybe something like this
@proper haven Exactly, I'm not necessarily going for a theme, just trying to make mine look natural
Anyone have a pool area I can take inspo from ?
Does anyone have a market on their island They could send pics so I can see for inspiration? 🙂 thanks !
"white, wood, and plants" is basically what's called "cottagecore" aesthetic, if you are looking for inspo in that direction, just google the term
Oh yeah! Thanks! I'm looking for some fishing tourney items but cant find any at a cheap price @silver sorrel
looking for naturey themed neighbourhoods 🥺 kinda cottage core-y
@woven drift i have that too, not super cottagecore but natural
ooo pretty
Anyone has pics showcasing Saharah stuff, rugs, flooring, wallpaper? Could you dm me pls?
Ok well now I'm off looking for a cheap fish drying rack
@lucid granite
Here are all the Wallpapers and Floorings you can get from Saharah in New Horizons!
I cross checked the complete list with this document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hxrdp7oxtK-J5x9u1-rzChUpLtkv3t0_kNGdS6dtyWI/htmlview?usp=sharing#
They are shown in alphabetical ...
welp today’s progress was dissatisfying
guys i have a huge empty space next to my residential services any ideas for what i can put there?
My island has a cottagecore theme and I need some ideas of little areas/activities to build
I have picnics, a painting area, a beekeeping area, and an outdoor cafe so far
My theme is... Nabbycore
a small hidden chapel might be cute to do @grizzled geode
Good idea!
Anyone have an idea for a Japanese themed campsite area?
@topaz stream use fishing tourney items
Can anyone give me more ideas to put here? He’s a jock! And I don’t like the stepping path lol but idk what to put
@topaz stream use fishing tourney items
@plucky socket I'm looking for them but they are so expensive 😔
aw ok !
try time travelling back to the fishing tourney, and obtaining the items yourself
@molten finch maybe a little table and a chair
You could put the protein powder on it or something for him ☺️
@grizzled geode awww okok tyy!!
My entrance to my island has been made
Is this area good as a shopping district?
I cant decide what to do with my entrance. Can I see some examples for inspiration 😊😊
@marsh heron the Nook cranny looks a bit odd there but the able sister shop looks good
Wdym?
I cant decide what to do with my entrance. Can I see some examples for inspiration 😊😊
@jaunty yew heres mine, it's quite simple
i’m trying to turn my house into a farm house. any tips or ideas?
I finally made my dream moon lake. Is there anything else I should add?
@jaunty yew heres my entrance :33
@jaunty yew I made my entrance to be a traveler checkpoint (also serves as functional if you invite random people for trades or npc)
Anyone have any ideas for a Japanese themed campsite area?
@woven drift CRESCENT MOON CHAIR
it would look so nice 🥺 buy one on nookazon it would be amazing
@plucky socket I was thinking of that, but idk which color would fit most because I don't want too much of one color u know
i would do yellow, it would be good because u don’t have star frags in that color + it looks natural
Mini photo dump ~
I have this entire area to work with and I have absolutely no idea on what to put there. Can anyone give me ideas/tips for things to do?
@analog coyote looks cool, do you plan on adding more stuff?
i have lots of space on my cliffs near a waterfall anyone have any ideas?
@shrewd rampart 1. A basketball court 2. An outdoor gym 3. campsite space 4. flower fields with either solar panels or turbines for reverse forced perspective
I have a very small space for my entrance anyone else? If so dm me some ideas!
Any inspiration pictures for an outdoor flower stand/shop?
@shrewd rampart a celestial/stargazing area would be nice, since you're at the top
@unreal raft a vestibule that allows you to block entrance to your island while still allowing trades to happen
Security first before design, unless you want your flowers picked, your trees devoid of fruit, or your money trees shaken
tbh i dont see the point in blocking it if u do a few trades, u can clearly see if they go somewhere
@shrewd rampart 1. A basketball court 2. An outdoor gym 3. campsite space 4. flower fields with either solar panels or turbines for reverse forced perspective
@vast frost @bitter inlet Thank you guys! I really appreciate it! ❤️❤️
Because you can make so they don't go somewhere
but if you're there at the entrance too, they most likely wont try anything. even if they do you can just end session or close the game immediately
But what if you can design the entrance so you don't have to go through that trouble?
it rarely happens honestly
I made it work, what's stopping everyone else?
ive done plenty of trades without blocking and only one person tried to defy me n go to the shops when i said they couldnt. so personally it seems unnecessary
Complacency is the enemy. Always.
recreated this from pinterest
Not a big fan of edge pools, really.
@shrewd rampart that is also an idea ^
My island theme is white and pink! if anyone wants to visit later, i'll open up my island 🙂 still a work in progress, literally 25%of my island is empty but still a 5-star island! 🙂
Hey can anybody show me their map they’ve placed their houses in a circle shape
I have all this space but idk what to do with it anyone got ideas
trying to make ms. puff's boating school, anybody have some go-cart/racing track inspo i can work with? mine looks pretty bland so far
Any ideas on what I should put here?
can anyone help me in general with island layout ill pay with some nmt 🥺
I cant afford a fish drying rack so anymore ideas for this?
anyone have any campsite designs i can take a look at?
Anybody who has a cool farm/field area with lots of details? Im just looking for a bit of inspiration :) it would be much appreciated
@ripe flax here are some of my favorites from pinterest!

@proper haven thank you so much!
@earnest temple okay!! tysm!
Anyone have star gazing area inspiration pictures?! Very much appreciated! 😊❤🌟
Any good home layout ideas?

I need campsite area inspo 😄
Does anyone have any good inspo for villager home layouts? ❤️
@river cypress Posted my one above 
@nova quest tysm! here’s the blanket and fringe codes
@granite geyser have you tried searching "in:island-layouts has:image map" to the search bar? you can look at past maps to see how people positioned their island houses
Does anyone have any good inspo for villager home layouts? ❤️
@granite geyser these are mine ☺️
guys, which bridge would look best here?
Stone!
@granite geyser
@river cypress my campsite! 😊
i think i finally finished my campsite area !
@river cypress
does anyone have an apple orchard. i really feel like making one
Muffy moved today
finished my farm area :)
Thoughts on my beach brunch spot? Idk if I like it or not. Suggestions on anything to add or take away would be appreciated!
@languid jacinth that scarecrow !! I neeeed! The area looks awesome
@proud flume ty !! :))
@gray jackal i will threw away some of the zen cissions and add some Shell lamps
@gray jackal this is pretty original! i think the size of the cushions are overwhelming the benches in the middle, i'd try the log dining table instead of the benches, or maybe the cushion instead of zen cushion
Xd?
anyone have tips on how to make flowers look nice?
Hey can anybody show me ideas for how to lay my houses out
anyone have tips on how to make flowers look nice?
@patent apex sticking with a certain color scheme or flower is always nice! You can make your flowers match surrounding furniture too
@patent apex
Any inspiration for an outdoor flower shop/stand?
Can I see some cool island ideas I need inspiration 😭😭😭
Working on one of my neighborhoods and i would really like some feedback/criticism to make it better! i still have to decorate the heart lake and kiki’s yard but i need some item suggestions! thank you 🧡
@gray jackal this is pretty original! i think the size of the cushions are overwhelming the benches in the middle, i'd try the log dining table instead of the benches, or maybe the cushion instead of zen cushion
@scenic blaze
I want to use the regular cushion, I just haven’t gotten any haha
I’ll try the log table! Wasn’t sure if it be too wide
Any ideas on what I should put here?
any entrance inspiration?
i have a huge empty area of 15x12, anybody got idea on what i can do ?
@buoyant niche possibly a stargazing area? You can add some cute purple/blue/white/yellow flowers and maybe scatter around some nova lamps c:
Any advice on how to make terraforming more natural? Atm its all at the back but want to do it more spread around my island
@safe rock this is my very natural entrance
@safe rock i have a fountain with flowers surrounded by my houses. Going to replace the roses with lily of the valley when i have enough
@serene fiber Thanks for the idea!
@safe rock heres mine :33
Anybody know if you can place villager houses on the third terraform thingy
Anybody know if you can place villager houses on the third terraform thingy
@woven drift if you mean 3rd level then yes!
Yes you can!
thank youuu!!
Anyone have inspiration for a garden/flower shop?
@woven drift yep
what could i do as an entrance😔
@woven drift you could terraform little waterfalls around the entrance or make a sitting area with the vending machines and stuff
@grizzled geode wip
Omg that’s so cute!
any ideas for a long strip of land
@woven drift personally I made a sort of "airport wait space" with a miniature garden in the middle
@grizzled geode thanks!
Any more ideas to put here? I feel it looks kinda bland :\
tree
@gritty flower what's your theme? Mine is mountainous, so I would add a trail of zig zagged trees with rocks and possible water features. But that fits my theme.
does anyone have ideas for little minigames? i'm trying to make my island very visitor-friendly and need some inspiration for my party area lol
yes, i'm putting my museum over there for museum tag ofc :3
@molten finch could use a shrub, maybe a lil trinket on the fireplace ? like a book or a mossball or a protein shake if you want to keep it sport base
anyone have japanese layout?
my themes like a city/suburb type deal-- I have little micro areas
@gritty flower you could do a steet market, night market, fish market, black market, street of lights, etc.
aaa idk what else to put on this lil cliff with the museum, anyone got ideas? (going for a kinda fairy/cottagecore theme) raymond photobombed 🤧
@winged sinew scattering some paths and flowers around could look cute c:
Ok updated beach brunch spot
@serene fiber ooooo tysm
@winged sinew if you're going fairy/cottagecore, definitly trees, flowers for sur too maybe a little sitting area with log stools or something ?
i have a very unfinished town, but this is zuckers house
@gleaming bay should i do mums?? >.<
... fauna ... baby..
@winged sinew ohhh I love mums, yeah mums and hyacinth maybe ? I have a soft spot for white cosmos too
@glass lion looks cute! Maybe to add some more detail you could add some blue and red flowers into the mix so it matches him
@gleaming bay ooo great idea!! my island flower is cosmos :')
ok i can try adding some red roses and blue wildflowers
Looking for some ideas on what to put in this tiny space. My island is a kind of tropical theme.
@scarlet lake maybe a garden+ sitting area?
@scarlet lake adding a tiki bar or some benches are tables by the water is cute! You could get some palm tree lamps too :))
I need some inspo for a good villager house layout, I'm really stuck with this.
is this path too thicc?
@serene fiber @winged sinew thank u guys!
@woven drift depends on what it's for, it is on the thick side
@woven drift its your island, no right or wrong ❤️
@woven drift maybe use a path edging on it?
think this is better?
yeah i think so
I can't decide on a theme for my island... I can't decide if I want to go for, like, a city/nature blend, or just as much nature as possible, like you're going camping
@paper magnet for me I decided that I won't follow just one theme for the whole island, I feel like if you think of different sections the island will look much bigger and more eventful
I can't decide on a theme for my island... I can't decide if I want to go for, like, a city/nature blend, or just as much nature as possible, like you're going camping
@paper magnet depending on your layout you could do half and half. Part of it can be more populated and city like and you could add some bridges and rivers transforming over to a more foresty area?
is this path too thicc?
@woven drift it looks really big haha but what are you plans for it?
Those are both really good ideas... I think I need to rethink the layout of my island honestly, like water and hills and stuff. I came up with something a while back and did it in-game, but I'm not really feeling it anymore
But I really like the idea of having a more populated area and then transitioning to more nature 😄 I'm gonna have to figure that out since my town hall is in the middle of the island...
(I'm just not creative enough for this game)
i hate my town hall it's slightly to the right and right in front of the airport so i can't do anything with it
they need to let us move them, they need to
dark or light dirt?
You could add some fences around the town hall maybe and make 1/2 of the fencing iron fences or whatever you choose and add trees and stuff on the other half of the hall
yeah mine is in a bad spot tbh but with time I noticed it looks better when you make it look slightly natural and not "oh this area measures 16x16 and etc etc"
@woven drift I really like the dark dirt 😄 that's what I have as a path leading up to my campsite. And @serene fiber yeah that's a good idea!
Does anyone know how they managed to make the path like that?
@woven drift depends what you like tbh, I personally prefer using dark dirt for gardening areas and dirt for pathing or other things
I think part of the problem right now is that I'm spending so much time working on getting NMTs that I don't have a lot of time for decor
Does anyone as a fonctional but pretty cloning area ? I am kind of stuggling to make it look nice
@oak thunder I believe that is a custom path they have
@serene fiber yeah but how have they managed to make it diagonal?
I think it's just part of the design, must have a few pieces to it
Oh okay. I need it😂
@oak thunder That's custom designs! She probably has corner pieces and "full" pieces to make the main path
Check and see if anyone in #path-codes or #custom-design-help🎨 may have it 
can anyone show pics their museums?
@finite oyster try searching "in: island-layouts has:image museum"
@storm bluff thank you !
whats a good aternative to a pagoda? particularly something tall and big
lighthouse
a statue
gallant statue is taaaaalllll
thanks guys <3
Anything I should add? I feel the entrance looks a little bland...?
Could anyone help me with doing the heart pond into the lake thing? Everytime I try I do something wrong!
I do 7x6 but it wont work
My new entrance. Should I add anything else?
@worn zodiac there's a few guides you can find on yt 
My museum
@molten finch it's day thicken the path bit maybe that's just me, and don't add leaves on every tile of th path for a more natural look ?
i really need to work on my island everyone else's looks better than mine
ive got like this long empty space in the middle of my island, as of now there r currently only rocks on it (': any ideas on what to do w it?
@proper fiber maybe move the other rocks there and make it like...a rock circle?
I don’t know where to post this but I decided to check my progress today and almost cried. 😍♥️
Congrats honey! You made it!! C:
@elfin sable to be fair everytime I feel confident and come check here i'm like" dammit I thought I had it this time"
🙂 it was a fantastic feeling! Thank you!
Any ideas on how to make this better? It doesn't look as good as I imagined 
Eta yes im missing some red but aside from that!
wish me luck, island layouts gang. today we begin to demolish and start over!
@amber dagger maybe other typ of plower on the bacl ? to make it less geometrical ?
I think once you can get one more black rose I’ll looks perfect @amber dagger
@gritty sentinel you are brave dang, TT ?
Currently extending the dig site museum themes, any items go good for construction place please help?!
Maybe some fences or water pumps?
@gleaming bay how so exactly? And @feral agate I have more! Where do you think the last one should be??
@merry bough water bucket if you can maybe, cones too ?
@gleaming bay probably to facilitate moving buildings around and destroying ramps, but I'm going to take it one area at a time!
@gleaming bay ahhh the cones!! I totally forgot thanks so much!
@amber dagger right at the top row to make 4.
If only there was a way to mow down all my flowers instead of digging up each one and throwing it out....
@merry bough you could find some fossils and place em around and bury some random items in the ground so it looks like you're digging up stuff c:
@amber dagger it gives me almost a skull vibe, not sure if that’s what you wanted. Could add some white roses for eyes?
Hmm i left that one out on purpose to match the fist more
@serene fiber was just about to do this! Thank you 😊
Thinking about making my island completely flat and redoing everything good idea or not?
@amber dagger I'm not sure tbh if you have black lilies maybe try to mix some in ? black tulips too ? idk , looks pretty cool to me tho
It's simple, but I do enjoy my little plaza quite a bit
Anybody have picture examples of houses in vertical (north-south) lines? I'm trying to figure out if I want to do that, and if so, how much space I should allot
@gleaming bay I have some at the ready i just cant figure out how to fix that part!! Like maybe only thr inside are lilies ughhhhh I wish I didn't hate it because I really want it to work
@woven drift usual advice I've seen is to not flatten entirely, but to work in segments. It can be pretty overwhelming and demoralizing to work with a totally flat island.
But@my island is so ugly
josh i did that & it's working quite well for me
@amber dagger idk I feel like mixing flower can make you see fingers like the symbol but I may be wrong and it wouldn't look that good u_u
Right
I'm trying it rn anyway! Definitely not a skull haha
@woven drift I mean there's no right way to do it. If you think you'll be more inspired by razing it, go for it!
Might add some pillars within the first level possibly
hey guys! i need help designing a river so if you would be interested in helping me draw it on my map please dm me! looking to do it on happy island designer and i can move any buildings so please dm me! btw my island is completely flat
btw anybody have a flower cloning area ? I'd love to see for inspiration
do yall think im missing anything for my new campsite
dose anyone have like a secret pathway inside a hill or something i'm trying to do something like that and i'm very confused(:
@last palm a few log stakes maybe ? to give it a limitation somewhere ?
I think the tulips did help!
@woven drift I have a hidden path to my campsite https://twitter.com/Pheleon2/status/1261425802924617730?s=19
Henry’s house design with a leap frog entrance
ty!
hey guys! i need help with something. i have no creativity and i am having no luck designing a river. my island is flat so i can go anywhere and i can move any buildings i need to just please if you are interested in helping me dm me please!!!
@amber dagger ohhh it does it if a 3d dimension 😮
Thank you Nours!!!!!! I like it better now for sure
Has anyone got inspo for a music part of the island?
@woven drift I recommend carving it out of the higher level. That whole area was solid level 3 cliff and I just dug into it. I found it to be an easier approach
how long are inclines?
wedding area because im basic 😔✌️
@woven drift 3 tiles long, 2 tiles wide
doing a take one leave one! feel free to look around if u want inspo and donations to lloid are appreciated 😉 dm for dodo code
some photos from the neighborhood ♡
@delicate flax how’d you get those items?!
by doing the wedding event!
Go visits Harvey and you’ll find out @woven drift
it’s here?!😳
yeah baybee 😳🤘
i’m so confused, i haven’t played in like a week
does this stone path match the terra-cotta or should i change it to the wood path
I think the wood would look better. But do whatever u think! @zealous sinew
is this big enough to make a cute little area? if so, any suggestions? the hole is for an incline
@scarlet lake nice i agree with the wood! thank you
Little coffee shop? @woven drift
Looks a bit better in the rain I think but thank you for the input here it is finally almost done!
What’s ur island theme @woven drift
Kinda cute? 🥺
Love that ✨ @unborn whale
Pillars seemed to work! Waiting on cones any other items that look good in construction digsite?
There’s a lot of big fossil designs u can find to put on the ground @merry bough
Should I put my neighborhood on the first or second level of my island?
@scarlet lake i’m aiming for this type of theme (not my pic)
@scarlet lake I don't really have alot of them :(
I would def go with cute coffee shop. With maybe brown iron chairs and tables and a cute stall with a coffee design. And def lots of plants @woven drift
Here's my competed cafe, the bamboo finally finished growing today ^_^
idk how that would fit😣
Same here @merry bough
@merry bough could throw in the toolbox diy?
its coming together i think
@gritty sentinel yeah! In waiting for it in the mail tomorrow, some some cones buckets and construction signs. Idk if there are other items also
U could put just a nice viewing spot with a bench and a couple trees? @woven drift
Anyone have inspo for villager houses on the beach?
Use weeds! It sounds weird, but will look good on the beach next to some palm trees and flowers (+they don’t grow on the beach) @turbid parrot
weeds make everything look better tbh
@scarlet lake the summer weeds grow on the beach
They haven’t grown on mine @silver sorrel
Anyone have any ideas for this empty part?
@cloud thorn maybe a small cafe, dog park, playgrond, stage. Lots of stuff!
garden
A plaza with a fountain, some bushes, and a couple benches? @cloud thorn
@cloud thorn Zen Garden?
What exactly is a zen garden?
anyone have farm inspo? mine looks too cluttered
Not my photo but something kinda like this @cloud thorn stones, sand and bamboo c:
@cloud thorn something like this
My aesthetic or theme for my island is going to be darker so
Do you guys have any garden inspo?
Working on a fake cafe ^^
@cloud thorn Oh then a graveyard would be nice if you don't have one
would someone like to come to my island and just give suggestions that would make it better?
I am planning on putting a graveyard! I have a spot specifically for that
hey guys! i need some help if anyone wants to help me with it. i have lost all my creativity and have no clue how i want my islands waters to look. specifically my river. if anyone wants to help out in the slightest please dm me! i will help as much as i can and i have already drawn my island on holy island designer so i can send you a picture of my map. it would mean the world to me if someone/anyone could help.
literally the entrance is the only place on my island that looks remotely good rn
If anyone wants to come to my island for a little inspo lmk. I got a kind of tropical theme goin on.
Still needs alot of work
@woven drift it looks like one of those restaurants from seaworld, looks good
I think I am going to do something with like a fountain and benches and stuff
@cloud thorn Witches gathering area maybe? You could have a summoning circle and junk
does anyone have an asian themed island or mabye asian themed area i can look to for inspiration?
hi friends! does anyone have a natural cafe area to show off for inspo?
a tour video of my island was just posted! :> https://youtu.be/eIzVczf4krY
really hope that links work here cause they dont on nookazon :')
The Animal Crossing New Horizons Island we are touring today has a cozy forest feel to it! The creator has spent over 500 hours perfecting her island with terraforming, natural design elements, and many custom designs she has done herself!
You can check out my MERCH here: ht...
@cloud thorn i sent you a ton of ideas
@viscid slate my island is loosely natural zen! Lots of bamboo and lanterns
@drowsy quiver link works! your island is gorgeous!
@delicate flax I really love that entrance! If you're going for more of a night time or spacey theme you could maybe throw in some purple and yellow flowers. Nova lights and star clocks turned around also make for cute decoration
@woven drift would you mind sharing some photos or even a tour?
@drowsy quiver link works! your island is gorgeous!
@main tapir thank you so much!!
@serene fiber aw thank you :) i'm going for a lil fairy forest theme and it's gonna mainly be blue + white, and im still looking for the nova light recipe 😔
Aww darn well best of luck 
@viscid slate I’ll post some pics and if it’s your vibe and you want a tour, lmk!
ugh seeing all of this makes me want to redo but I need the fdreamies first
@silver sorrel ty i did make a Seaside restaurant
does anyone have a natural/cottagey cafe area? my cafe is weak
Sort of a random thing I discovered, using a kotatsu with a shingle design makes for a nice roof
@main tapir here’s my cafe
@drowsy quiver so great !!! congrats xx
@obsidian oar oh that's cute! I like that you used the couch outside 😮
@drowsy quiver so great !!! congrats xx
@storm bluff tysmm :D
Finished Pashmina’s house! I based the design of the property off of her looks and personality
@main tapir thank you!!
And there’s Peanut photobombing
Looking for ideas on little areas that can fill in places
can i see a museum that has market place decorations around it? not sure how to place them
@scarlet lake whenever I don't know how to fill a space I just put a tiny library + mum cushion for a cute lil reading area lol
I use the banners to make the entrance look a little more official @restive pewter
Little entryway I’m working on lmk what you all think
Thanks for the idea @main tapir
@dawn pawn I love the yellow! i'd prob space out the lanterns a bit more tho
I am suffering trying to make natural looking rivers
Can anyone send me ideas for my neighborhood
I got u @opal plinth
@main tapir Thanks for your input!
I got u @opal plinth
@scarlet lake TYTY!
Which one of these: hedges, rope fence, or iron fence fits best here?
I would go with the iron to match the roof of nooks cranny and u can throw in some random hedges for some greenery @marsh heron
But i also have ables next to nooks, does that matter?
Can someone help me? I need inspiration😂 I'm doing smth lika a patio for my villagers. Each one has their style, but I don't know what to do for Reneigh😓
Then I would go with one of the wooden fences + some hedges @marsh heron
Ok
i am IN LOVE with all of those omg
@flat plaza maybe put some rattan furniture and a clothesline ? since she has rattan indoors and a washing machine. plus lots of houseplants
Can anybody show me some neighborhood ideas?
Thank you <3!
@flat plaza where?
The photos
Ok did some slight changes. I think I’m happy with it now.
Any advice on my Mexican restaurant? Improvements, changes etc?
@flat plaza ohhh now I see! Thank you my bad I didn’t see at first ah
@gray jackal it looks great !!
does anyone have a natural island i can visit?
@warm dew put a guitar for the mariachis!😂
can i see your outdoor crafting area ? 🥰
@flat plaza I was thinking about that! You think it would look nice between the two seats on the right? Or where the bucket is?
I got a second switch these are the layouts it gave me. What you guys think ? Should I quit and retry for diffrent varieties
Been working on my island design, thoughts? I know the elevation near the museum needs fixing (haven't fixed the little things yet, just going off my original layout.
Going for a central area enclosed by a cliff, split in the middle by an elevated "bridge". Any ideas for my residential area? I think it'll be on the left side of the map but I'm stuck on layout ideas.
@hazy bronze Top Left
honestly the top left one looks okay if ur fine with the town hall location, it's weirdly skewed so it could make for some cool layouts @hazy bronze
@hazy bronze it definitely revolves around RS, Airport and River outlet placements. Depends how far you want them and stuff. I’d recommend top left though
Need suggestions for cute areas to add to my neighborhood. So far I’m going to add a dog park and I have an ice cream shop. Going for a Disney theme !
@warm dew either way could look good, do u want it simmetrical?
@warm anvil what about a playground?
@warm dew I’ve started working in one but I just can’t make it look good! Do you have one I could see? 🙂
@flat plaza not really, I just want it to to look full lol. I want it to remind me of the restaurants in my neighborhood
id be super grateful if anyone is willing to share their campsite 🥺 i have no clue what to do with mine lol
@warm anvil here’s mine!
I @warm dew think that it would look good in front of the bucket😂
I got a second switch these are the layouts it gave me. What you guys think ? Should I quit and retry for diffrent varieties
@hazy bronze I would quit and retry. I prefer the layouts where the main plaza is far deep into the island, this way you will be able to create a great entrance.
@flat plaza I’m seeing it 👀 that or a plant in either spot (front of the bucket or between the chairs)
@warm dew i love how packed it looks with the houses
i would never restart due to the fact i lose so many diy's for decorating
like ducks, what would i do without my decoy ducks!
Are we showing off our playground areas now?😂👀
i need more tires
@flat plaza I love the hedges for the outside!
@flat plaza love the toy box addition and blocks
@hybrid swift same, literally on nookazon rn just accepted an offer for 10 tires for 10 nmt, making a racing track
It's kinda little, but U needed smth to put in that corner😂🤷🏻♂️
i would put a tree
how rare is trash island?
@silver sorrel thanks! Unfortunately I changed up my neighborhood for future remodeling, still trying to figure out what to do with the houses
I*😓
Dose anyone know why?
That space is way too small you’ll need to remove the cliffs first @woven drift
@woven drift the outline is jutting into the actual cliff, you either have to tear down the cliff or move it a bit below
oh ok! ty guys
@silver sorrel Don't know bout u, but since this month started i've been getting junk when fishing😂
i've been mad time traveling im on august 22 LOL
Do you not go back?????
i'm kinda crafting my entire town and moving buildings n all that, also i tt to order more items etc etc
im trying to make bikini bottom as fast as possible lmao, so i have more time for people to tour it n stuff later down the line
I put a crescent moon cliff on my island 
I kinda want people to tour my island and give me feedback but I’m also scared 💀😔
😍
Im also really happy so far with my entryway added some palm trees for color (palm trees were supposed to be in frame lmao)
@rustic bobcat WOW!!😱😍
Guys, I need some advice!! I wanted to make a woodsy/hidden campsite area but I'm not sure where to put it. This is basically what I have now/am building. Any feedback helpful!!
@silver sorrel wow! That actually looks pretty cool!😂
I posted wrong island pic, meant to do this one w/ the two crescent moons
thanks, if only my stupid android camera could work properly lol
Anyone got inspirational space stuff layouts?
do you guys have any ideas on what to make their yards look like? for beau i went with a nature cabin theme but for the others, i’m not so sure 
@crude geode judy fairyish theme, audie tropical, ankha sand, raymond anime
@crude geode ive seen lots of people give audie a beach house, pyramids and gold outside of ankha!
do you guys have any ideas on what to make their yards look like? for beau i went with a nature cabin theme but for the others, i’m not so sure :sweatybutt:
@crude geode I have three of the same villagers as you!
Can I see some garden themed inspo? Any area - campsite, orchard, museum
thank you for the ideas! @storm bluff @silver sorrel
Make Audie’s look like something you would see in LA
@crude geode I put a sphinx outside of ankha’s house with black and golden roses
@green token
i guess audie should live near the beach then lol
Audie talks about being an up and coming celebrity so LA style would fit her personality and aspirations
LA tropical with palm trees
how do you decorate an open piece of land
thanks for all the help! a lot of their exteriors are different from the forest/cottagecore vibe my island except beau’s so i was a bit lost
@robust trail you place items
built a much better entrance today
i had this huge space in between, so i just filled it with cafe stuff @robust trail
woah
@crude geode I considered the shell set in purple for judy cause it matches really well
what are some outdoor settings/places i could do in a woodland, cottage core type island, right now i only have a library and cafe
i did a little lavender garden! you can place beehives to make it seem like you’re making lavender honey
Since he loves bugs so much
Does anyone know where to find the google docs for commonly asked codes?
@azure fibere I gave Raymond an outdoors office🤷🏻♂️
@loud belfry #custom-design-help🎨 it’s pinned
Anyone seen anything cool like this besides a cityscape and castles?
I have a rough draft of what I want my island layout to be like but I don’t know if it needs improvements so if you guys have any recommendations I would appreciate it!
@woven drift that little smile
@austere heath haha he smiled after judy said hi 🤣
Hey guys!! I just finished my entrance. I know it’s not much, but I can’t really do much of anything since my resident services are pretty close and awkwardly aligned with the airport. But besides that, what do you guys think? ☺️ yay I’m glad you guys like it!! Thanks for the hearts 🥺
Updated my island entrance and I'm kinda happy about how it turned out. That's the only area that seems to be finished 😂 The rest of the island is chaos...
I have this awkward area. It’s the end of my largest villager community to the left and the shops are immediately to the right. I wish I could shift this extra space to the far left side, but moving 6 villager houses and yards for this small of an area isn’t something I’m willing to do. I absolutely hate what I have. I want some kind of park. Does anyone have inspiration for such a small area?
Lf: asian restaurant inspiration
My current map that I’ve put almost 500 hours into, only just now realizing how much I hate my island VS my plans for change
wish me luck
Looking for fairground or plaza inspiration
goldies orchard home!!
I'm going to scream
I've been there lol
I’m going to be putting some buildings here, but I was wondering. Should I move them one back, just to make it less cluttered? Or is this fine?
I hate the grass in this game so much I hate it I hate it just go away I'm going to burn all the grass
Stop getting in the way of my aesthetic 
Does anyone have any cottage core dark brown forest kinda vibe stuff
@round storm well boy i have the town for you
ah yes, the perfect Island
@pure dragon Mood. I just finished destroying my island and starting over again.
Not the best but it’ll do
someone please fix my island
No but seriously is there anything I can do to get rid of this disgrace upon my noble bridge
@round storm Not a thing, only option is to hide it behind an item
I'm going to break into Shigeru Miyamoto's house and punch him for this
@round storm burn it all down, destroy everything. There is no hope, only the painful taste of defeat.
😭
This is my entrance so far and I don't know what else to add to make it look better.
@willow sorrel Nice little throwback
Does anyone have any outdoor cafe inspo :0
On a more serious note i recommend going for a different approach with the museum
can someone help me improve my island please! its hard for me because of how close my resident service to my airport
Thanks @frosty ivy
Yalls could u help me for this edit I’m making 👉👈 I’m making an edit and I’m too indecisive to choose which time of day my entrance should be so any help is appreciated
About to demolish the staircase because of that stupid strip of grass lol
anyone have any cool terraforming layouts on their island, trying to incorporate more of it into my island
@obtuse egret here’s my entrance so far and you can see resident services in the background there. I’ve not finished yet just getting the main structure there but it might help you a bit
Any thoughts on my entrance? Thanks!
@severe cosmos that's so cute! Ty! : D
Any thoughts on my entrance? Thanks!
@thick pond i really like the theme! adding some more flowers or small details could help pull it all together and make it look more full!
@severe cosmos okie thanku
@cold meteor np! Hope it helps :D, np to you as well^
@sick falcon Tysm!! Adding rn
My campsite is complete!
just finished my crafting/lounging area 🥰
Sorry for the brightness lolol but here’s my campsite! Aaaak this is Blinding me
Log stakes! @vague gulch
what else should i put here? i’m not happy with it yet 😐
@vague gulch Maybe some flowers for a pop of color?
@river cypress where should I place the log stakes
@woven drift here’s mine
I would add simple panels with a custom design! @woven drift
i did 😌
anyone made any cool area’s with the bug / fish models?
@dull moth I don't have an area but putting models on top of backwards safes looks very nice
Anything i should add/replace in my tropical campsite?
@severe cosmos that looks amazing!! ;0
ty! :D
@severe cosmos Floor lights!
Can u help me design my island, like please?!
hec i havent even thought about floor lights i should def do that
@severe cosmos instead of low tables maybe bamboo stools? And hula dolls!
here’s my little painting class!! i still need to fix the paintings into actual drawings, and add something for the students to draw for reference on the table!! it’s almost done but what do guys think?
oooo the hula dolls would look lovely, and yeah ill see how the bamboos look. Thank you all for the advice!!! :D
Fiji’s top tier VIP club! Marshal and Raymond allowed only ( and maybe Judy)
Gonna definetly add coconut juice and hula dolls for the tropical look!
lovely tropical bar! wish the uh rattan chairs (and others like that) were able to be sat on when theyre in front of a table tho, theyre kinda a turn off for me because of that
@obtuse egret
Here is my entrance--my resident services can be seen just on the other side of the cliffs on the right. I included multiple pics to help show the scale, which couldn't be shown in just 1 photo. Hope this helps \0/
@severe cosmos here’s mine can’t find the original creators @
oooooo thats really pretty, the customized bamboo stools look so tropical
If anyone’s looking for neighbourhood inspiration 😊 also I’ve been thinking of letting people visit my island and just look around dm me if u want to!
how would i make this less boring
I wanted to use that fencing on my camspite but lack of space 😔
also, sorry to other folks... I know I've posted these pics a few different times over the course of the past few days... Just not sure how to send a link that leads to an original message OTL
I made this bamboo area I really like it but I don’t like the fruit farm in the back any ideas on how to make it fit??
Fiji residential suite is complete
Did some forced perspective with waterfalls, pagodas, and a moon
@woven drift i would probably change the pathing to the more natural stuff like you have for the zen area, maybe even make the orchard a bit smaller or stagger the trees so its not just a grid
can y’all show me your village layouts i need some inspo :))
What can I put on this empty area? I was thinking of a soccer field but at the same time I I rlly don’t like the look I tried on it
@keen fog yeah I’m going to do that! But what do you mean about the trees like I should move them closer together?
What are some good flower combos that are like both feel good vibes to look at an cool but not too flashy?
@woven drift similar to this, obviously you can condense it abit but just so its not harsh grid lines
can someone dm me/ping me with some cool house layouts? ty =)
@keen fog okie dokie tysm!!
Wanted to share some parts of my island! 🙂
I'm thinking of filling my island with a bunch of raised platforms for tiny waterfalls, flowers, and fairy gardens
i love the small info board for flowers 🥺
Any ideas to make my town square more appealing with the path designs?
Hi all! Redesigning my island and at a loss on my neighborhood. Can you all send me to some inspiration or show me yours? Please 😊
Shep is just hanging out in the little farm I made for him, he’s just tooo cute 🥺👉👈
@leaden orbit that looks really good!!
Did anyone build their stores behind RS with an incline?
Finally redoing the worst part of my map
@wet ore I have. I’ve not got a screenshot yet but I’ve got the plan I made if you want to see it.
@leaden orbit that looks so good!!! period
Looking for any advice to help improve my Mexican restaurant 🙂
@oak thunder yes please!
Hii does anyone have entrance ideas that have their townhall close to the airports
i’m stuck, i don’t know what to do from here😔 also don’t mind them tv in the back😔
@warm dew you could add an area with instruments and mariachi clothing maybe?
@wet ore there you go
@storm bluff i was actually thinking on doing a little music room/waiting room on the left with a mariachi band and some seats
does anyone wanna come for a respectful tour before i tear most of this down and start from scratch?? i love most of my island but i'm bored and would like to do something a little different
@zinc vector i can??
why am i so bad at landscapping
same😔
its difficult to master lol
i just want to make a cute island for my cuties 🥺
aww
@storm locust what’re the codes for those sick stones
Half way done with sootopolis. How should I do the sides of the island . Just try an decorate it with paths or ?
What are some good flower combos that look cool but not too flashy
Anyone have ideas on what to do with this small area around Stonehenge? A rock "garden" of some sort maybe?
What are some good flower combos that look cool but not too flashy?
@cedar spoke white and purple is my fav
@cedar spoke blue orange to flashy?
I made a rock garden for my Stonehenge! I don’t even have it in the picture but imagine the path goes down to it lmao
I wanna have like something pop around my town hall area
@cedar spoke blue yellow?
I already have white and purple hyacinths around my museum area
I like pink yellow and orange hyacinths for pretty but not flashy
Blue and yellow are my middle schools colors and I dont wanna be reminded of that 😂
Does anyone have that garden stone QR code ? They’re like square stones good for a green house
Well I dont know if I want like a flashy look but just something cool and not just colors but also different breeds, I'm thinking 2 breeds and 2 colors. maybe more
So this is my island layout flat, I’m trying to figure out where to put things 😫
@chrome slate that looks cool! I was thinking of crafting some garden rocks & using stone stools
@mild musk what I did is put a cliff far behind resident services with the houses on it, and a cliff on either side of RS with the shops
Maybe 3 breeds and 1 primary color 1 secondary and a little dot of a third color
@sleek root ty! I think that would look great with your cliffside
I don’t really like 90% corners, I like natural areas more
What is like a popular triple color combo
I’m trying to figure out where to put my garden, it’ll be my major theme area so I’m thinking of putting it where this circle lake was Bc that’s where the plane starts showing
I like grouping red, white, and yellow tulips but that's just my opinion
okay so i want to move raymond’s house next to mine but i have a village so should move my house and his far away from the village or closer?
Yes I’m redoing my entire island Bc I didn’t plan on areas 😭
Can I have an example of someone making an L shaped staircase? Trying to make one going down to where Redd comes in
i'm looking for some examples of extensive beach decorating?
@fair prawn whats the name of the wall item you've customized?
whats the best island layout to go for
What colors/flowers should I replace these with (this is just a layout I have planned but dont know which flowers and colors to use
Does anyone have sheep villagers and if you do, what did you do for their lawn/backyard? (Curious to know because I'm building something for Cashmere!)
yo @fringe heron
?
Does anyone have sheep villagers and if you do, what did you do for their lawn/backyard? (Curious to know because I'm building something for Cashmere!)
@fringe heron i have dom, and i just put a hammock and a white brick well 🙂 w some flowers (white mums)
i feel like i’m the only person without an actual orchard
Anyone have any suggestions for a suburban horror theme island? I've made a detective agency, a graveyard and it's keeper, a Podcaster living near a (questionably safe) beach, a farmer and her orchard, and a small market
creepy school area idk
Hi, does anyone have like a circle lake template? I can’t manage to make it look round 🥺
@median salmon I don't have one either haha... Just random fruit trees
anybody have some cottage core themed areas that are small/medium sized? my island is almost finished i just need to finish a few areas!!
the only “orchard” i have is goldies orchard themed home!!
she’s my favorite so i went a little out of my island theme for her :))
Anyone doing some island tours, I need inspiration?
Currently redoing my island and I was curious as to which color flower combos you guys like? Don't really have a theme in mind atm for my island c:
Maple loves her new bee keep.
@median salmon that looks amazing!! I have no idea how to style their homes haha they’re just sitting randomly on my map still 😂
@serene fiber I’m digging blue and orange hyacinths, I used it for my playground
@median salmon beautiful!
Anyone doing some island tours, I need inspiration?
thank you so much!! all of you!!
Anyone doing some island tours, I need inspiration? (Copied because me too)

Entrance to my shopping district

i’m kinda stuck, i don’t know what this path should lead too
@stiff tundra yess
What should I do with this area?

Does anyone have any tips on how to make round lakes/ponds?
Anything else I should put here?
i’m kinda stuck, i don’t know what this path should lead too
@woven drift
You can have it lead to a park! Or an entrance to your neighborhood/campsite
Does anyone here have entrance inspiration that uses statues?
All I have is this rn. And I’m definitely adding stuff later but anything else?
Does anyone have a tourist telescope lookout area?
@warm dew hi!! here's my shopping area. the stalls in the third pic are free diys (and a tool bench) and duplicate fossils for when my friends come over in case they need them :~)
tags: shops, shop, marketplace, market
may i see some of you guys’ entrances! i need inspiration

what red items should i put outside ketchup's house 🥺 (preferably small)
like a very natural theme w lots of flowers, trees, etc
Do you guys prefer green iron garden chair/tables or the black ver.?
@clever turtle black
depends on where you put it
Some weird raccoons ngl
@clever turtle I like the black a lot more but it definitely depends on where I’ll be putting it. I made a restaurant and felt that green > black this time
i have terraforming now yay https://twitter.com/rinq110/status/1269408049627721728
new preview of my earthbound island #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/QLVuK2VYAX
hi guys you don’t have to but if anyone has a good island can i see ur island from the map view i need some inspiration ◡̈
Boating school looks decent rn, gonna add more stuff later tho
curved or cornered?
@woven drift I like it curved but it also depends on what you put near it!
i’m gonna put bikes in every other section @trim chasm
does anyone have a zen garden with rocks that i can look at?
@woven drift oh then definitely cornered for the areas with the bikes
@woven drift in addition to the curved corners, you could also download custom paths so they have a border to make it look finished
YALL ARE MAGIC?? DID WE GET THE SAME GAME??
yes
What should I add to tangys yard, somethings missing. I will add another chair and a tree is in the back corner.
a movie area i made
@lean oar maybe a book on the table or a picked yellow flower. Make sure the tree is an orange tree!
Like this?
@lean oar yes! And if you still have the default custom design of clovers I would put it in the empty space!
does anyone have a zen garden with rocks in it?
@trim chasm I’ll try that!
Anyone have any ideas on how I can start
any cottagecore island ideas? 
maybe work front to ack?
@mighty coral what u want for entry
start from a theme maybe
OK SO-- cool goth stuff. Any ideas?
@mighty coral experiment and maybe follow the natural way of the island unless you want to terraform it
@mighty coral do you have a theme in mind?
Maybe a medieval kinda island
Does anyone have pics of their gardens/orchards they can show me? Trying to do a combo of both
help! idk what to put on my little land-overhang thing
What colors/flowers should I change these too, could i get any recommendations on this? This is just a template I had in mind but I'm going to change the hyacinths to anything that I like but i need help finding out what they may be
any cottagecore island ideas? 
does anyone have some cool path id codes that I can have???
@cedar spoke you can do a pattern or put every flower variant in your fav color!
Theres only 2 blue flowers but I'm looking to use like 2-3 breeds with 2-3 colors
@mighty coral maybe you can treat your island entrance as an entrance to a medieval village??? idk though
@cedar spoke if you wanted you could do the basic colors and have Lily’s, cosmos, and tulips or do a bunch of hybrids in roses
Anyone have natural/cottage core entrances that are close to resident services? My resident services is literally 8 spaces away from my airport and I want to redo it to make it look more natural
@compact adder doing a bush pathway to it would make it more natural
@dark adder yeah just gotta think of the way to start
any cottagecore island ideas? :ILY:
@granite hemlock
@mighty coral a moat LOL
@compact adder try terraforming hills, maybe you can even redirect the path to go off to the side
I have a moat
i need entrance ideas, anyone lmao im desperate
@dark adder idk how much terraforming I can do with this amount of space but I can try lol
i’m trying to find cute simple ways to light my island but all i have are tiki torches, does anyone have any other ideas?
@mossy briar the nova lights, mushroom lamps, or the lamp posts all help depending on your theme
I'm kinda sick of tryna breed flowers,, they take up so much space and I just wanna decorate those areas
could someone help me out? not sure what to do with this river on the right side & where should i place my home? i’m moving it cause the spot where my home currently is will be something else. should i also change where the villagers are? i feel like it takes up too much space
Thanks (^_^)
Here's the creator code, @limpid dock
@compact adder oof i underestimated 8 steps lol an alternative you can try is maybe using custom paths like stepping stones?
Here’s a goodie, I use this because it matches with the in game stone path (I’m dumb I should’ve saved the photo instead of a screenshot)
Everybody loves those paths
Yes! I’m one of them
i'm so sad :c i was trying to make my island map look cute but its so hard to do a big heart and now everything is destroyed 
I use stepping stone paths outside almost every house!
@dark adder yeah that looks nice I’m not super creative. I was initially going for a Japanese theme sorta but clearly it didn’t work out lol
@compact adder reddit's where it's at! that's where i get inspiration from:)
anyone have any villager beach house inspiration? I'm thinking of moving ankha, beau or sky to the beach and I can't decide!
drawing a blank. Show me your cafe ideas 💕 I’m thinking of cakes & coffee
What does everyone think of my outside garden centre? Is it alright? Do I need to make any changes?
Guys I’m making a star bucks at my island what would look good?
coffee
Lmfao 😂 idk why but that made my day
iced coffee
@atomic hatch Im guessing that this was taken at 5 am in animal crossing 😂
@river cypress literally my favourite time ahah!
@river cypress literally my favourite time ahah!
@atomic hatch the music is what makes it the best gonna TT to 5 am rn haha
@river cypress maybe some green iron garden chairs and tables, and i know there are villager themed starbucks signs!
@atomic hatch I love it. I did something similar with mine, and I actually turned the stalls around so you could see the bins and stuff underneath. I thought it gave it a “greenhouse” feel. ☺️
Omg great idea I was gonna go white but green is better @bronze cairn saves me the 100 customization kits lolol
@raw trench let’s see yours! Good idea
what type of fence should I use for my yard?
I need ops for this campsite design sorry for the extreme brightness 🤣
anyone have flower shop inspo? my girl tammy loves flowers and i want to do smth w that in her yard
Does anyone have anymore map layouts they can share? (None of these are mine btw)
Can someone show me how they have decorated their pier or that piece of land that sticks out???
I tore it apart to use the stalls in other places. But I left one in avas yard. @atomic hatch
Can someone show me how they have decorated their pier or that piece of land that sticks out???
@woven drift I did a lighthouse with some rope fencing around it and some white iron garden chairs and palm trees
So I have some of my villagers grouped together (one space apart) does anyone have an example of how they make it still look natural?
@void laurel
Rosies white/pink bakery!
Any pool areas i can look at ? I have a pretty big space
@polar prawn thank you these are beautiful!
what are good fences for house yards? I need inspo
@polar prawn what is that wall called in the house pictures I like how you can see out the windows
@fickle surge
I love the bush and country fence alternation/combination @verbal marten
@slim tapir that’s the cafe curtain wall you get from Sahara
What is an ideal spot to put your fruit orchard/ flower breeding area ?
do buildings cover the paths behind it or not really?
Ohh @polar prawn tysm
@polar prawn thank you!!
All villagers get their own fenced in yard and personal garden, Panic suburbia!
I just finished a beach park area but I’m not sure if I should add anything else to it
I thought making a Starbucks was an original idea but it wasn’t lolol
@river cypress still tempting to make one myself
@ornate linden may I suggest adding beach balls instead of the mum cushions
Hey what do your Redd private beach look like?? Need inspo
I’m new and trying to decide what I want to do with my island. Any tips?
@woven drift I don’t have an orchid myself but I would put it on the “wilderness” area of my island.
Lil black market area I put behind my Nooks cranny
Idk how I feel about this little area behind my town hall, I might replace the stumps with rocks
What fencing would go well with this brick pathing? It’s for my residential area
Lil black market area I put behind my Nooks cranny
@glacial shoal homie you forgot the image-
@grizzled bloom
@pure nimbus try rope or iron.
@drifting holly yeah I’d say a a rock garden would look good there
What fencing would go well with this brick pathing? It’s for my residential area
@pure nimbus iron and stone ?
Rip I forgot the image ok here it is
@pure nimbus maybe the corral fencing will look good with that
What can I place in this area? To the left is my tiki bar. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
everyone wish me luck i’m starting to design my map on happy island designer 
I tried doing happy island designer and I just ended up doing a whole different thing😂
i’m too indecisive for that
do you guys use happy island designer? I feel like its slowing me down if anything
Idk I feel like sometimes it’s better to just wing it
happy island designer?
yeah thats what im thinking rn. I've been staring at my happy island designer for 3 hours now and no progress whatsoever
I just went with the flow, no plans whatsoever
happy island designer messed up my mindfd
yeah same im gonna stop using it
can anyone send pictures of their island entrances?
I am having the hardest time trying to plan how to design the exterior of my shops, does anyone have any inspiration?
it depends on ur theme
put bike racks near it !!
I want the plaza/shop area to be the most urban area of my island but still in a small town sort of way, trying to go for a laid back sort of theme, like cottagecore without being extra lol
can i see someone’s city/urban map?
Also that’s a great idea! I really wanna put bike racks down somewhere
im afraid that cliffs are gona block the view :/
I tried happy island designer for all of like 5 minutes before I got bored and just took a terraforming shovel to it all
Whoa!! I love your residential area especially, that looks so clean!
hello?
Oh hey it’s back
ok! i finally got some mums!1 what do yall think of my museum area?? please tell me if anything should be added :))
I need inspo for island entrances please!
hi i have a lot of flowers and i was wondering if someone could help me dig them out idk what to pay so just tell me what u want
Gonna do this but outside!
@woven drift
@woven drift
@winged sinew Thank u!! looks so good
@river cypress im so sorry i couldnt provide the laptops xC
Np lolol
Okay I found a pr recent pic of my map, I’m pleased with everyone section but the chunk around the resident services. I need help deciding where my shops should go. I like the idea of a designated shopping plaza with the shops side by side but idk where that would look best
Edit: the house on the beach is my wip community center, so if you know where I should put that too lmk
@woven drift it was inspired by a youtube island tour xD
thoughts on what type of bench i should put here?
This is my plain island.
@outer sand I usually go with garden bench
i want to make a flower garden in this space but idk how to efficiently make one, can anyone show me their layout
Can anyone help me out? I have 5 spots from the airport to the residential services area and don’t know how to design it😅
I improved Ankha and Lucky’s mini-Island what do you think?
@outer sand dark wood garden bench
any ideas for my entrance? it’s super close the the resident services!! (i’m going for a “cottage-core” sort of theme!)
@quick cipher thats really creative, nice job
@sterile violet not really a flower garden but i think flowers look nice with statues and shrubs
@austere hamlet i would say an entrance stall with free diys, a waterfall on the sides, or small patches with flowers
@zealous sinew thank you!! i’m gonna consider those ideas!! :))
@woven drift I want to make hybrids and stuff idk how to lay out the flowers
@zealous pendant what did you do with all your other houses?? I wanna get another house and do something with it and your layout look so nice!
@stiff tundra my island is Harry Potter themed so they’re stores or just houses of characters
@austere hamlet great! good luck designing!!
i hate when people say x is an overused theme like bruh why can't we build what we want to build :/
Ty!
question about house placement, can they be right on the shoreline or do they need to be a block away from it?
@zealous sinew thank you!! i’m a bit overwhelmed because i just finished flattening everything and removing all flowers, furniture and water! so i have an empty, fresh start! (it’s kinda weird being at a 1 star rating though 💀)
@sterile violet oh for hybrid breeding i lay them out in a checkerboard so the flowers breed in the empty spots
@zealous pendant aw ok cool thank you! 😊
@woven drift thank you!
@austere hamlet best advice i can give is to trust the process!
Just have fun tbh-
Does anyone have that picture of the different sizes of house plots and what they look like with the villager houses?
@zealous sinew :))
that’s what i’ve been telling myself!! i have a load of ideas and i want to pursue them!! but i’m stuck with the entrance because that’s what i feel like i should start with so that i’m good with spacing
@ornate linden check pins
@zealous pendant thank you!!
@woven drift would this be a good hybrid breeding patch
@sterile violet definitely put the flowers you need on the dirt and its good
thank u!!
i post them a lot but they’re genuinely the things i’m most proud of that i’ve done on my island so far: park/playground 
@echo sparrow nice!
thankyou!
@echo sparrow love the pink and white flower combo, makes the playground way more nice
Hi! Does anyone have ideas of what to do with river ends?
im trying to make my island looks like a old fancy european city, anyone have any ideas?
thank you !
hey! could I dm/ talk to somebody abt designing my island? like tips for it.
Does anyone have any tips on how to make circular lakes/ponds 🥺
@frail iris I’ve seen some cool ones where they meet into this hole with water like a moat
@echo sparrow can you send me code for path edges in second picture please
here’s some more things i’m proud of like my cafe, shopping district decorating + my campsite!
i think what i’m struggling with most is starting my neighborhood :/ any tips ?????
@sterile violet checkerboards arent really good for hybrid breeding I would suggest seeing one of the layouts in #garden-science-info (sorry for being late)
Finished up these areas 😍

@echo sparrow tysm
My entrance
@slender jewel that looks really pretty! loving the vibes it gives off 
can anyone dm/talk to me abt designing my island? Like tips.
thank you! I made it a point to not use only one style in my island
can anyone dm/talk to me abt designing my island? Like tips.
@indigo oak Steal/Copy ideas from pinterest is the easiest tip I can give you ☺ There's so many ideas there its a goldmine.
Can someone help me with making a circle lake? Big enough to for the museum to fit in the middle! I looked at YouTube but cant find anything
@pastel wasp I will def do that, but I just have some questions.
Also another big tip is to draw out a vague idea of what and where you want to place things on your island. You dont need to be an artist to do this, it's just circles and lines of areas you want to put things in. Or just use the virtual map maker pinned to this channel. If you got any specific questions let us know 😉
Does anyone have any good Breath of the wild/Legend of Zelda themed island spots that could help give me inspiration?? I want to rebuild Hyrule in animal crossing and would love any tips you could give me! Or even cool little ideas 🙂
like would you recommend completely flattening my island to give me a clean slate?
Can people send pictures of the front part of their island?? i'm looking for inspo :))
@rustic osprey maybe try different socials! such as pintrest or instagram as well! just a tip btw
@rotund osprey I saw someone make the apple shrine kokorok thing in ACNL with the stone lion dogs and that was brilliant: (google image)
like would you recommend completely flattening my island to give me a clean slate?
@indigo oak I would try drawing out your island roughly/taking a screenshot of your map and drawing over it before you terraform! saves you a lot of time. Starting on a blank paper and planning is a lot easier than tearing your island down+paying nook to move things.
@rotund osprey one of my best friends brothers got famous on reddit for his legend of zelda island, let me see if i can ask her for the link & i’ll send it to u
Anyone’s island in October? Trying to catch bugs
@pastel wasp I'm def going to be trying out that map planner website!! thank you!!!
@pastel wasp I'm def going to be trying out that map planner website!! thank you!!!

@pastel wasp what’s the site?
@bitter compass look in the pinned messages 📌 and scroll to the bottom until you see "island designer"
Does anyone have any idea on what I can do with this long area of my map?
Does anyone have any idea on what I can do with this long area of my map?
@stuck basalt Orchard! Or a flower feild full of a rainbow of flowers
@pastel wasp it’s not wide enough to fit many trees :/
@stuck basalt boardwalk fair? Or a Spa?
Flower feild? I've seen people do this: (not mine courtesy of google)
I need ideas for my island I dont know what to do
@warm dew @pastel wasp I like both those ideas! I’ll text them both out, thank you :)
Which one looks better?
I need ideas for my island I dont know what to do
@stuck leaf Go to pinterest and search up ideas and copy them but make them your own! there's so many lol.
@pastel wasp thanks
@stuck basalt here’s why I said Spa, since I saw that your waterfall was there
oo i like that idea more than my flower field idea
aaa does anyone have any ideas of what to do behind where i am??
When I need inspiration I always go to Pinterest and save photos to an album
@warm dew maybe I’ll do a boardwalk with the spa in the back because it’s super long
I need some museum surroundings inspo, anyone? 🥺
@stuck basalt sounds cool! Not sure if you’ll use pathing but in my opinion, wood and corral for the fair look awesome
One of my favorite areas on my island!
@shy wagon if you’re have spare completed fossil sets those are always cool to put near it
@shy wagon maybe this will help? 👉👈
Thank you both! @winged sinew thats exactly what I am looking for! Thank you! 💕
@shy wagon np!! glad i could help :))
POV: you are a bomb falling from a plane
@heavy summit 😳😳
omg i love it!! 💕
💕💕
does anyone have any idea what to put behind me? :0
@eager needle parking for the nook babies! (From /u/tiniekittie on reddit)
@stuck basalt genius :00
@winged sinew since it’s right in front of your beach, I think a fishing set up would look cool. Like the fish tray, fishing pole stands, surf boards even
@warm dew yess omg that would look amazing
@winged sinew and you can even place some bait on a cooler
ooo tysm
wrong usagi
if anyone has an island with this kind of theme, id love to visit!! >< (not my image)
Finished up a bee garden/wind farm area~
This is my viewing area that is behind my RS. Any suggestions on what I can add?
