What would I put in a medicine man type layout?
Try using these
@manic kelp is that for me? hehe thank you but i'm trying to minimize my use of QR code haha i only have a few left and i'm saving it for the other parts of my island.
any ideas on what I can do in this area? its pretty empty :c
a bike parking place
:0 ! that sounds great ! thank youu :D
no problem
Does anyone have ideas for an entrance
@manic kelp would totally love a visit when you're done w the island deco
@thorn fossil depends how far your town hall is from the airport
A little far
does anyone have any tips for flattening out ur island! ty!! :))
Cliff design tool
Digging from the side don't dig through cuz you could wind up having to dig the same block twice
tyyy
Really need some entrance design cause I don’t really have one cause I restarted my island
Should I remove my Tram tracks going from my commercial area to thr residential one?
@thorn fossil what's ur island vibe/theme?
Tbh I am making it work on a tropical theme but I am in Southern Hemisphere so it is snowy
Symmetrical mountains,, palm trees (duh), palm tree lamps, hula dancer doll
Ok ty!
U should make a volcano :^0
Idk how to do that but itd b cool af
Ok ty
anyone have any museum inspo?
i've reset my acnh island,, n im trying to find a map where the town hall is in the middle of the airplane?? but i cant find a map like that bruhbuhb
:^0
;_;
Beach campsites anyone? Well, not really on the beach but near it lol
island entrance?
Does anyone know how to make a huge crescent lake like this
@warm crest idk how to exactly show you but you could probably follow how this person terraformed their crescent!
@rapid fog thanks I'll look into it
Gorgeous
@sly dock It looks amazing so far!!
idk what to do with the rest of my island lol no matter what rivers or ponds i do nothing looks good 😭
You could make it a celestial theme with a starry forest!
Just wish I could find a way to change the sand paths. Not to mention all the bells I'll be spending to relocate everything
bc i have a very specific mindset for my museum... my entire island used to center my museum sighhhhhhh
yeah my island ks astronomy themed, so i have a lot to do but i dont want most of my island to b flat :( i wanr more levels... in that screenshot theres only my house and the calpsite on the third level
i want to connect the river mouths but like.... i run out of space for other things
You can make tiers toyour forest!
wish my map looked aesthetic 🥺
my museum i want to have 4 inclines leading up to it but now im like :/ well i kinda want a plaza now
dont be fooled i found that map on this channel and op said itd be ok if i could use it 😿 im not that creative :(
is there any other way to build this type of water fall, mine looks so weird
i wish there were corner waterfalls :(
Yo. Does anyone have any nice dig sites?
Yo. Does anyone have any nice dig sites?
@indigo ravine I have one lemme get them haha
this is my sister's dig site. Sorry not the best photo of it @indigo ravine
Ooo. Pretty!
I was today years old when I realized theres color palletes AND you can change colors in the pallets. Thanks to this Project Burramudgee is going swimmingly well. I plan to make portraits for the locations where you find the characters
Yo. Does anyone have any nice dig sites?
@indigo ravine
Woah!
It's connected to Redd's docking site/Secret Beach. Making it look like I sell him excavated artifacts and others fossils haha
Heres my dig site currently. Any ideas?
it feels like? tge moon takes up a lot of space idk where to put everything else
@indigo ravine
@rich ivy look great, its mine now
I made these paths/road for urban towns.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/681277827244621855/719901443955490836/Tzuny.mp4 old Video on where I used them.
@indigo ravine a shovel, handcart, ammonite fossil, rope fencing, whiteboard, and bury things in the ground, lay an X design down
My tiny Park

@indigo ravine a shovel, handcart, ammonite fossil, rope fencing, whiteboard, and bury things in the ground, lay an X design down
@trail ermine great idea!
@drowsy quiver do you happen to have any more pictures of foresty areas to share? i'm trying to make a foresty residential area and im really struggling since up till now i've stuck to a city theme lol
@rich ivy look great, its mine now
@winged thicket Lol
@drowsy quiver do you happen to have any more pictures of foresty areas to share? i'm trying to make a foresty residential area and im really struggling since up till now i've stuck to a city theme lol
@the.fake.jongkoko#1599
@drowsy quiver tysm :D
Also. Any ideas for my zen garden. Its feeling a little bare right now
heres a couple more @restive tangle
@indigo ravine add more bamboo furniture?
Ooo. Thatl help alot. Thanks!!
@drowsy quiver tysm! your island looks amazing :o i wish i had extra slots to download that path but i heard it takes up 9 slots and i have a bunch of city themed paths downloaded and no more space uhuhu
https://twitter.com/trashcrossingg/status/1263018716482072587?s=20 my sister has a pretty foresty island 😮
omg i totally didn't see the scorpion #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #acnhpath #acnhdesigns https://t.co/5QUHb1Yyqk
@woven drift thanks :O im so shocked i have no idea how everyone does these amazing foresty things ahahaha... i find it so much more difficult
yeah I could never hahaha. I want to do so many things at once
Any ideas on how to decorate judys house ? I’m having complete creators block 😭😭😭
who do you get three stars dm me plz if you know
I just finished lucky's yard and i'm wondering on how to improve it.. should i change the stone lantern to something else? and would changing the warrior statues to stone dogs or something else fit better? any suggestions would be appreciated ^^"
anyone have an idea for an entrance when the town hall is uneven? Ive been trying all kinds of things and it still doesnt look good
My town hall is uneven; you can work with asymmetry, entrance can still be symmetrical as long as there's at least a little room between the airport and town hall
I have terrain around my town hall except for the entrance so it can still be symmetrical even though the town hall is off center
can someone send me some map ideas im having so much trouble, idk how to connect everything to make it actually look like a town ya know?
hey guys, do yall use an app to plan out terraforming?
@rare mountain Just do one area at a time, don't worry about some grand plan. Fill each space and detail it how you like and move onto the next ^^ Nobody knows exactly how their town will look before they even start
does anyone know how many of each items you need on your iland to get to three stars
(cont) ...Just break it into smaller parts so you can say okay, here's my entrance, here's my museum area, here's my shop/shops, neighborhood, etc. That way you're not overwhelmed with trying to think of how to do everything at once. Try to make each area a little different so your town doesn't look bland and homogenous too
@elder silo There's happy island designer or so.. i think that's what its called. Personally i just draw over a picture of my map lol
@restive tangle thank you!
i use Happy Island Designer, it's pretty fun to use but kinda tedious coming from someone who has trouble coloring inside the lines or keeping steady hands.
@Flied Lice#0013 my campsite
adorable! i love the usage of the log furniture, it looks very nice.
@woven drift I got an F in second grade because I didn't color inside the lines 
i literally cannot stop shaking, so coloring inside the lines or trying to move around tiny little pieces on Happy Island Designer is one of the most tedious things i've ever done.
not done but
@woven drift that's why I refuse to use happy island designer, I just draw it myself
I don't use a designer app and just have a general idea in my head while I terraform :X
It's such a tedious process even with a steady hand and I get frustrated easy
it stresses me out so much to the point where i genuinely almost cry trying to move around the pieces, or when i accidentally move the pieces i don't want to.
i might switch over to just drawing over the map, i don't have a very steady hand, but at least i can resize it and not accidentally move everything.
I draw out my layout and then match my island to the drawing
@woven drift I literally just draw over my map itself, ends up looking like this, a lot less tedious than using happy island designer lol
thank you very much, i might just try drawing since it sounds much easier. 👉👈
@woven drift then i matched my map, looked pretty close to the plan
Drawing vs map
thank you guys! i'll be sure to try drawing instead. 👉👈
I personally don't like planning cuz I know it'll never end up how I want it to haha. besides I'm a spontaneously-has-an idea kind of person. But its been really cool seeing ppl's planned layouts 🙂
I plan the basic layout, like rivers and stuff. Everything is impulsive lmao
Sometimes I think my islands boring cause it doesn’t have a ton of crazy waterfalls and cliffs but idk, I kinda like my flyover
Happy with how this turned out!
@quiet cave my museum entrance...
how big should i make my villager yards
@frigid otter I'd say it depends on your theme and how much space you have, as well as if you're making a residential area or not
honestly have No Isea
Hopefully this helps you
Any ideas for the entrance? This is my current one but I want to change it (RS r in center)
This is near my entrance can anyone tell me what I should add to the free wand section ? 😊
Seaside cafe! This is it so far for the time being until I have more time to craft stuff tomorrow 
@inner comet ...some wands
They’re off to the side behind 🙃
MORE
@inner comet how bout more celeste themed items? specifically the asteroids, since they float it fits the whole magic wand thing
Redid my entrance today
what sort of music player would look best here?😳
Probably a lily record player or the one antique record player
how do you guys decorate your islands without being repetitive?
does anyone have cute rock layouts?:)
Any ideas for this area?
Maybe a... lighthouse?
Someone help me out, what can I put in the middle?
@clever minnow piano!!
@clever minnow I know #happy-home-designs is slow so maybe uhhh ummm .. billiards table?
@fathom nest Already got one on the side haha
@clever minnow oh i meant a grand piano :))
Maybe some clever re originaization?
@wispy estuary Yeah, maybe I could move some stuff around
Hi! Anyone has any hilltop cafe ideas? 🙂
I want something decent sized, but not too big as to make it hard to walk around
@clever minnow pull some stuff away from the wall, it makes the room small and less lively in a way to have everything cramped up
@cold crow Alright, I’ll try that thx
maybe having the pool table in the middle would be nice, considering it's usually a game played stood up and in decently sized groups anyways.
Hey guys. Aside from beach bars and spas, what are some other ideas for beaches?
@woven drift Ok thx 👌
mhm! just some re-organization is all you need, all of the items are really complimenting of each other.
@clever minnow put the round tea table there
@tranquil rivet Ok, I’ll try that also thx!
Does anybody have any simple wooden fencing to spare
@quasi aspen I do!
Awesome what would u like for it 😊
I can give it to you for free
Cool
Dom naruto ran around his new yard🥺
Can you guys give me some feedback about my map rivers/island houses
Your map looks really nice! Th museum path looks so cool. The bottom right house is spaced kinda off compared to the rest though😅
I see everyone always compact all their villagers together and it makes me nervous bc I do not want my villagers to be confined to a single space ;_;
(ignore those random sand patches) can i get feedback on my island layout :))
also some of my paths are not straight but they will be i just have trouble drawing straight aha
i thought about restarting my island again, my resident services is so close to my airport entrance; and i'm not really sure how to work with it. (or a lot of my islands layout, for that matter)
i've got 4 starts currently and a helluva lot of progress (400+ hours) i just really need some feedback tbh. would you guys recommend doing it?
Little asian forest restaurant
@slate patio just cover it in cliffs
@slate patio some entrances are super cute when they have a diagonal bridge going to their super close plaza!!
I thought about it but I didnt. I know someone who did and they complete regret it @slate patio
heres an example of what I did with my close airport entrance
i changed the path since taking this but you get the point with the cliffs
LF an entrance inspo with central RS 👉👈
@slate patio I resetted my island 20 days ago and best decision of my life. I was unhappy and stressed about it and now I built my island back up to 5 stars already and it’s looking way better
i reset my island a few days ago, and honestly, i don't regret it. i learned a lot from my old island and what i did with it, so resetting it allowed me to fix my mistakes and re-make what i wanted but better. i love my island now.
Reset as in started over a new save or just flattened everything?
I just don’t know if there’s anything that can really be done about this.
I’m not particularly happy with any part of my island but I’ve got a huge bone to pick with this part.
i started over a new save completely. i was scared of doing it at first because i didn't know if i was gonna be happy with it, but i really feel like it helped me. i consider my first island as more of a ''test'', letting myself explore and toy with everything.
Oof I literally could not do that. I "reset" my island by moving everything to the beach and flattening it to work on terraforming while slowly replacing buildings when I do their area
I guess if you're unhappy with where your river mouths are I could see that
i was just unhappy with everything on my island before resetting it. i hated the name, i hated (most of) the villagers, i hated everything i'd done so far despite how hard i worked to build it up, so resetting allowed me to realize what i wanted to do with my new island based off of my old island and what happened on it.
does anyone have a tutorial for a paw print pond tutorial?
I’ve got pretty much every villager I could want, my name is alright, I’m just kinda worried about building from the ground up.
Ive got a lot of materials I’d wanna keep but I know that’s not really possible unless getting a third party involved
Ahh okay that's understandable. I'm happy with my island name and I got all of my dream villagers with at least one of each personality type and have most of the recipes learned (almost 800 hours, I flattened my island at 450 or so). I feel like I just don't have the energy to go back and redo 800 hours of work ya know
Hello! Does anyone have samples of private villager gardens? I’m redoing my residential area and I wanna expand their own areas. Thank you!
@woven drift its good you were able to feel happy about your new island and learn from your first:))
Oof I literally could not do that. I "reset" my island by moving everything to the beach and flattening it to work on terraforming while slowly replacing buildings when I do their area
@alpine cape i did that once and im doing that again now lol
Oof it's so much work. I'm glad I did it but I won't be doing it again haha
I just really want a better map layout. My map kills my soul in terms of river mouths and rs placements
I just hope Nintendo does their Direct and reveals the next update before I finish my island so I can make room if the dream suite or another building is confirmed
Hello! Does anyone have samples of private villager gardens? I’m redoing my residential area and I wanna expand their own areas. Thank you!
@wraith acorn I've moved a lot of villagers around since this picture was taken tho
does anyone have a tutorial for a paw print pond tutorial? i’m putting my cat villager houses around it
@wraith acorn I've moved a lot of villagers around since this picture was taken tho
@limber ginkgo omg thank you so much! This is super helpful! 🥰
@limber ginkgo omg thank you so much! This is super helpful! 🥰
@wraith acorn they're all 9x9 except lily's which is 8x10
I definitely think I’m gonna reset. I’m not even happy with my islands native fruit lmao
Anyone have some good clean music stages I could use for inspiration?
Layout good so far? All I have done is that tiny bit there.
any idea for a cute looking farm?
@mellow island this is the farm I have for Nate
just took this super cute pic of pekoe 
@slate patio i reset my island a few weeks ago, and although i like what i have now, and was confident with my choice at the time, I personally regret restarting now. i’m still going to play and i have fun with my new current island, but despite my frustrations with my last island, i miss my old island just bc it meant a lot to me and the sudden urge to restart simply came from burnout from getting discouraged and moving stuff around all at once and trying to wrack my brain for more ideas of what i wanted to do, but what i really needed to do was take a step back and not stress myself so much, and going into my current island with that mindset has been a huge help, but i also wish i would’ve stuck with what I had and let things happen/come to me when they came , and just enjoy the game, but this is just my experience, if you think resetting would make u happier, then go with ur gut

@finite apex Ah that's so sad. But exactly the reason I did not restart. I knew this would be the same for me.
Anyone have any royal courtyards or gardens hehe
Does anyone have a special area in front of their museum? I'm in need of inspiration 🥺
beautiful
Not mine btw
@dapper thicket wow!! that’s amazing!!
So pwetty!!! uwu
i have this place on my island, i like it, but it feels kind of off :(( any suggestions?
I haven't layed out a river yet, but I feel like I have to be more confident! It looks so cool
@forest fulcrum Do you have a small picnic area to eat? If not I think it would look really cute!!
@worthy veldt good idea! thank you :))
@forest fulcrum Get some sidewalks for the roads, I have a code if you need!
@violet gale okay!! dm me it please :))
update on Shizen's island layout: i added much more in terms of water because i felt like it was lacking ponds and rivers.
the blank spaces are either going to be little nature-y spots, or spots for possible future update buildings, depending on if new buildings get added.
Finished my rainbow island ☺️
does anyone have a zen/japanese-style theme i could look at? :0 i want inspiration
@brisk vectora How did u get the moon? 😍
Please send some clifftop museum inspo! Especially if you have water features, Gulliver items, and/or fossils laying around
@forest fulcrum place some fencing, the iron blue fence would look good, and more trees if it’s possible
ooo okay! i’ll try that
Anyone have any Hawaiian, paradise theme island ideas?
@edgy finch
@stable iris that looks awesome! How do people terraform that well?!?! Jealous lol
Thanks! I drew all my waterfalls out on paper beforehand ☺️
That's a good idea. I don't have the patience for that, I just go for it and hope it doesn't look ugly 🤣
Lol 😆 I feel that.
Here’s part of my island for some inspirations got an alien space theme entrance
Map so far
Can anyone show me thier entranece? Plz🥺
The side with the shrubs is what it was previously and the one with the cliffs is what I’m planning on changing it to. Should I keep the cliff or demolish it?
hi guyss I need help with this tiny little space beside resident services I have no clue what to putt
@boreal scaffold I would put flowers, shrubs, fence a tree
can anyone PLS give me ideas as to what i should do with the little part of the island that sticks out into the ocean? i’m completely lost.
Thoughts on this waterfall? I’m considering adding some fences...
@wraith vector put a picnic blanket
@spare wasp I think the cliff looks good I would just make it a bit larger if possible, if you want to remove it you could maybe add a small pond
@ocean raft Ah, okay. Thank you.
@wraith vector I've seen people put lighthouse, a picnic blanket or a stargazing area
i was kind of looking for a lighthouse type vibe, but i wanna make it look more dynamic instead of just placing the lighthouse there
@hearty summit It's beautiful!😍 Fences could look really cool
@wraith vector mine looks like this
@wraith vector You can maybe put it on a cliff
@boreal scaffold do you mind showing more of it? it looks really nice
@boreal scaffold that's so nice!
@wraith vector This one might also help. You can also just search"lighthouse" in #island-designs, people have posted some really cool designs
@wraith vector the piece of land sticking out is super small but I made it work 😭😭
Okay, after trying to find a way to spice up my entrance due to the close Resident Services facility, I decided to keep this somewhat bland area, and wait till they bloom.
Lol I did that, my area here is also pretty small
Saw someone making this and tought it looked pretty
so prettyy
should i place here ables or nooks? next to RS
if you have this island layout can you show me your map please
@stark plover Do you mean a similar layout?
@woven drift It's a good idea for convenience! Especially if you have visitors
@woven drift I think both would fit!
@frosty ivy i mean like similar airport, river mouth and resident services placing
does anyone have any ideas on how i can improve my entrance? or just any feedback in general is appreciated lol
anyone have any pics of what to put outside of nooks cranny? like you would with a villagers yard?
@stark plover mine is nowhere near perfect but I have the same river kind of
@woven drift It's a good idea for convenience! Especially if you have visitors
@frosty ivy
considering it’s a starry fairytale town both would look good
@hybrid oyster its lovely ✨
@hybrid oyster I would remove the bench and make the waterfall higher/more natural looking
does anyone have any ideas on how i can improve my entrance? or just any feedback in general is appreciated lol
@hybrid oyster
mush lamps
flowers
cedar trees
@fossil marsh thank you so much! i’ve been stuck on where to place things. your island is amazing.
entrance what do you guys think
tysm for all ur feedback🥺🥺
@woven drift Ah sorry I didn't read your question properly. I would say Nooks
okayy
Hellooo Nook's, gave my T&T a good spot. Still... I miss something
Shooting stars only!!! No celeste, dm me for code ❤
should i add anything to my entrance
also @grave lagoon a tree on the side of nooks would look so cozy and it reminds me of a cottage
@woven drift i did but 8/10 said to remove it haha
i think it looks cool honestly
@woven drift i love your entrance 
you’re going for that forest cottagecore town right?
Yea, theme is asian forest (with urban city in the center)
wow really cool
my island’s theme is fairytale and starry with a lot of colorful lamps
That's so bright! I wanted make fairytale but im so bad at it xd
the complete lyonesse kinda inspired me for a future character i might make
Maby after this, my remake gonna be fairytale and gonna ask you for inspo haha
@grave lagoon Looks fantastic! I've been thinking of moving my shops closer.
It's kinda inconvenient atm
Maby after this, my remake gonna be fairytale and gonna ask you for inspo haha
@grave lagoon
im good at it!! i can help u out
Any cafe ideas?
here?
Zen / fairy cafe?
@frosty ivy oehh lovely layout! And me too haha i should put ables closer to the airport. Its now miles and miles away haha
@woven drift sure ^^❤️
if anyone wants to take some extra hybrids i don’t need i can drop them off at your island 😛
Shine and bright in the night ^^ this is my path to redd
Lol 😂
i want to make some gold roses but i don’t have a gold can yet :/
I use a total of 1 gold rose on my island
Here is a part of my tropical island, i kinda like it but when i look at other tropical islands i start to dislike it haha, is it too empty? what can i add/remove?
So i have some for you if you want
@grave lagoon
i love em im making them for the entrance for my house so that would be appreciated lol
night walk through my fairy park, just ignore the houses on the beach and the incomplete marketplace lmao
night walk through my fairy park, just ignore the houses on the beach and the incomplete marketplace lmao
@woven drift
wow just wow it looks fantastic
thank u!
@grave lagoon if u don’t want your gold roses can i have them?
all of these islands are beautiful and mine looks so bare in comparison. the creativity is mind blowing
This is my random display area showcase by the beach! Celeste, Gulliver items
:> This is my random display area showcase by the beach!
@sharp stump
that’s unique 😉
@sharp stump Ohh this is crazy, feels like I'm walking through an outdoor museum
what sorts of things do you use to decorate your beach? I've put a little seafood restaurant thing & a public beach area next to my neighborhood but I have so much beach that idk what to do with
@warped mural Tiki bars or surf shops are quite popular
Hello i have a question is possible to move the plaza ? in ACNH ?
my restaurant kinda looks like a tiki bar, but a surf shop is not a bad idea
@spring plume Unfortunately no
@frosty ivy then why are your plaza are all im diffferent places?
@spring plume When you pick your island at the start there a many different places where the plaza can be set. But once you've picked a map it's locked in that position forever
oh i didnt know
How does my wedding area look so far
good!! im making one but it’s def not gonna look like that
it’s going to be more natural and all in pink
@woven drift I'm actually looking for a QR code rn that would look like a rug to fit in between the benches so it's not completely done I still need some more items too but it took so long getting what I have XD
ooh okk :p
Okay beside dig sites.. do people have like archaeological areas, where you discover Dino’s or something like that??
Yeah! Some people have areas to show off their Dino’s near the museum
Outside showcases and even gift shops on occasion
I’m actually looking for item areas, with a microscope and stuff like that. Looking for a bit inspiration
Sometimes I just see pictures about "forest themed" islands and its like, are we really even playing at the same game???
Hey, what do ya'll think of my new tropical village? Any suggestions? :)
@near glacier ngl I’m kinda dead rn 
@woven drift please tell me about the game
seeing everyone's gorgeous islands makes me wonder why can't i have this much talent bahaha
@near glacier what do you mean by that?
@woven drift please am new here
@rugged rain like this?
its probably easier to watch a bunch of youtube videos on specific aspects of the game rather than to get someone to explain it to you
@near glacier well in case you don't know what animal crossing is I wonder how you ended up on this server :D
@near glacier but it's basically a chill game where you build your own island and make friends with the animals that live there
@bright rover please enlighten me on the animal crossing please
I’d recommend looking in the bigger chats on the server as well as youtube! ❤️ they would probably be able to help you more than I would 
what do you guys think about luckys yard? is there anything i can improve?
Ok
@near glacier animal crossing is a fun game where you complete some task and get to fish, catch bugs, get villagers and terraform your island to your liking
@versed wadi Yep haha! I used your area as inspiration aswell, was wondering if more people had anything like it.
Does someone have a marketplace i can visit? Need inspiration
@woven drift what kind of marketplace are you looking for? i can send a picture of mine if that helps
A Place With a Lot of different Stalls
@woven drift well there are a lot of different and themes you can use in it... anyway, heres a video of mine
Thank you!
judys yard from whitneys cliff house
any japanese-inspired island for inspiration?
@wild creek You can have a look at the marketplace video i just posted a little above
thanks!
@west parrot that is so gorgeous! do you mind sending a picture of your map? I'm thinking of spreading out my villager houses for a more natural look but idk what im doing tbh lmao
lemme find a pic for u! but some of my houses are by the beach cause im still terraforming their area :3
favourite spots on my island so far (: and posted my first post on twitter @ vivizon_
@grizzled wagon You look like you'd have an interesting map :o mind sharing? that railway straight into the waterfall is such a cool idea :o
@restive tangle let me get a picture, my island is inspired by studio ghibli scenes so here it’s spirited away and howls moving castle
Decided to have a European themed island and cant wait for the stairs to be completed tmr. 😊
woahh
@restive tangle island is very much a WIP but here’s the map
@grizzled wagon the top left is where the pictures were taken i assume :o it'll look amazing when it's done! There's already so much water on your map hahaha
does anyone have a cool museum design? mine is on the top tier and I have no clue how to design its surroundings...
@remote idol you could try maybe adding a cafe, or outdoor exhibits (Eg: fossils, Celeste / NASA items, Gulliver furniture, Redds art and statues)
@lone delta thank you!
@remote idol you can do outdoor exhibits like the ones I made
edit: sorry bout the photo quality oof
@fossil fern thanks a lot!
@fossil fern that exhibit with the paper kite butterfly is absolutely adorable, I haven't seen anyone use those standees this well :O
@fossil fern that exhibit with the paper kite butterfly is absolutely adorable, I haven't seen anyone use those standees this well :O
@the.fake.jongkoko#1599 AAA ty :,)) I feel cool now lol

Anyone have some stall ideas? I have flower shop, fishing supplies, coffee, ice cream and a fruit stand. I tried honey but didn't like it.
@minor owl these are my stall themes
Which colorrssss, what patternsss, omg
@rugged rain Oh that dino one is cute
Hello! Anyone knows what I can do with bamboo trees and Gulliver’s outdoor furniture? My island is European themed and don’t think a zen area would fit the island’s theme.
Does anyone have any design ideas?
@storm sail For what to put? Or how to design the paths?
@ocean raft for what to put
this is supposed to be my island lay-out but i’m really bad at designing and i really don’t like it. does anyone have any design ideas especially for the southeast and south area?
@storm sail What's your theme and what do you already have?
can i get ant tips/ideas on what i should add/remove? thank you♥️
@ocean raft Don't have much of a theme for my island as a whole but I do have a stadium, an amusement park area and an orchard
Any ideas of how I could decorate my campsite with? Idk what to do with it
Are villager houses 4 x 4 or bigger? When I plan it out with paths it looks a bit too small
@remote ridge I really like the layout, but just fyi you can't add another river exit. You can maybe try connecting the rivers or just play around with it until you like it.
@oak thunder as far as i know villager houses are 3 x 4 (4 x 4 if you count the entrance area sry i forgot about that)
and ok it’s an older plan that’s one of the reasons why i’m unhappy with it but thx ^^
@ocean raft Good ideas, thank you. Think I might go in the park kind of direction
Idk whats better, can someone tell me? (Wood or stone tiles decks
Ooo idk too hard to decide, they both nice lol
@steep rose I you want to use the same I'd say wood, but if not you could maybe swap them since it would suite he houses better that way imo
Hey guys, which fencing would suit a pool house?
@woven drift corral? depends on what the inside looks like
Anyone can help with map design? I’m desperate for help.
That’s what I was thinking too! Thanks 😊 it’s for an outdoor pool area
@woven drift yeah hahaha, i was just thinking that the fence would depend on the furniture inside, though corral would probably be the easiest choice ^^" if it's more of a shanty pool area i'd go with the vertical boards fence, or maybe even the iron fence, really just depends on how the inside looks
@restive tangle yea I want to make it modern looking and stylish — was planning to put some floor lighting, palm tree lamps and stuff. It’s saddened by the lack of fence choices tho ahah
@woven drift i'm actually quite happy with the fence choices we have ^^" maybe its just the themes i have that make it easier though, i see how it's hard to get an elegant kind of fence for what you're planning
@steep rose the wood version looks adorable. You do not have to use it for every villagers house though, you can use both. Kinda looks decent when you keep both:)
@restive tangle yea I guess it’s an layer of challenge to come up with something that works haha but I’m glad they’re slowly releasing new fencing with the seasons/events.
@steep rose what’s the code for the wood deck pattern?
Not mine
How can I decorate each yard using this amount of space? Any ideas?
@woven drift Tree to the left corner , swinging bench, flowers and shrubs?
@woven drift Flowers that match the villager/house, smaller items that fit well, custom patterns
Tysm!!!!!!🥰
What should I do with the extra unneeded space on my island?
is there a way we can put some wallpaper on the cliffs?
@keen vine Fill it with plant life
That’s a good ideas
I need some new ideas for an island entrance..
Maybe try making little hangouts next to the entrance?
i would help, but i cannot design good
is there a way we can put some wallpaper on the cliffs?
@hollow hare not on the cliffs themselves, but you can DIY custom panels to cover them up
*custom design simple panels to cover them up

Not even sure if spelled correct but I like it anyways
Can someone show me their entrance?
Im struggeling with it
Does anyone have a forest kinda theme? If so can you show me your map? 🙂
@lunar leaf
@lunar leaf I did this for an entrance as my entrance is too close to the resident services
@brisk depot
@gusty shard thank you :))
Ty@gusty shard @lone delta
@lunar leaf
Thats really cute @lone delta are those pannels?
whoaa 😍
@naive sapphire yup! Those are panels customised to look like buildings. Creator code as in screenshot. 😊
My first try at making a foresty area since my island is mostly city themed.. just for dom! How can i improve it?
what do y'all do with your flowers? i've got a bunch but they're just randomly scattered everywhere and idk where i should put them...
Not even sure if spelled correct but I like it anyways
@fallen trail i love it omghgk hello my fellow kpoppie
@quiet meteor I use my flowers to outline special areas and either side of some paths
@quiet meteor I recently revamped my island and I still have a bunch of flowers on the beach to place! 😂 I've been assigning colour themes to areas and paths and placing flowers there according to the themes. I've also used cliffs and water to frame areas for flowers/bushes/trees (my island is a natural/forest theme)
@quiet meteor I created a rainbow flower field. Took up almost the entire length of my island though 😂
@fallen trail i love it omghgk hello my fellow kpoppie
@brittle isle hahaha thx 😇
Can you please show me some lighthouse inspo??
can anyone show their entrances.. mine is close to the airport and it is placed awkwardly to the right 😭 i need inspos
@coarse drift I posted mine about 20mins ago mentioning bengmom, my resident services is also pretty close and to the right
ooooh ty everyone!!
@coarse drift this is mine, bottom right is airport
@woven drift This is my lighthouse if this helps?
Do you guys think I should add anything or is this good enough? Sorry for the horrible pic
Looks good @pale lintel
@restive tangle thank you!! This is amazing!! But I don't have that much space!! 😔
@sand raft thanks
@woven drift I just made use of the peninsula since i didn't know what to do with it hahaha, do you mind sending a pic of the space you have?
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can add to my shop?
@woven drift a bicycle parking area!! And if you have space behind maybe a garbage disposal
Finally made my graveyard.
@restive tangle thats a rlly cute idea tysm!
@woven drift Not that great of a photo but the bikes on the right is what i mean hahaha
@the.fake.jongkoko#1599 yeah I can see so much people use the peninsula to put the lighthouse but mine is very small so I just put the lighthouse in a rock near the beach
Finally made my graveyard.
@woven drift judging from your map it looks like you have the exact same shape peninsula as me :O but it looks like you have other things there hahaha.. How about adding some white cafe furniture and making a beachside seating area there?
Hi,I’m looking for somebody to help me out with starting to make my 5 star island!I just need somebody to help me layout the building and neighbor hood,Please dm me if you could help me and I’ll send you my map! (It’s flat ready for terraforming)
@restive tangle great idea! I will def try! Thank you!
guysss should i place wolfgang’s house near fuchsia’s (bc it would look good) or near diana’s (they’re always together and super friendly)?
hello everyone. can someone give me some advice with my island? my paths look messy and my island seems cluttered. pm me if ye would like to help.
i have about 1/3 of my island completely empty and i have no idea what to fill it with. i already have all my houses, shops and buildings down. can anyone help?
@woven drift omg it looks so good :))
@celest dove What's your theme?
cottagecore/natural woodsy
@celest dove you can make a little garden shop/ greenhouse area like this (not my picture)
anyone know what colour flowers would go nice with a green house ? It’s big tops which is a mix of light and dark green and white roof !! ♡^▽^♡
aw that’s so cute thank for the idea!
anyone got an idea for where to put the museum?
Simple fencing or lattice?
lattice looks more orchard like
Lattice
@tight vale maybe green, white and yellow?
Agreed 🤔 ty!
@ocean raft thank you !! i’ll look at it :))
@worn sedge I would maybe put it at the line between D2 and C2. Then you have place for a bigger entrance and can let the river flow there
@tight vale If you don't like that combination you could change the yellow to black
Any idea or inspo for fish market area?
@ocean raft i like the idea of yellow and white , i just don’t rlly like mums so not sure of what i could use instead of the Green
@tight vale I would say orange or black
@ocean raft okay thanks i think i’m gonna do that !! ♡^▽^♡
Not sure if allowed but I am indeed of recommendations on a easy website that I can use to help me update/construct my island layout before I actually do it in game.
@bronze tangle Happy island designer is a good one
Anyone have any entrance inspiration/ideas/tips?
search pintrest and try to see what you like!
what type of fencing should i place around my turnip farm?
wild country would be great (:
any tips on how to get three starts on your island? since im new and i want to unlock terraforming, but my island is vey boring rn, any tips on what do do or where to start?? that would mean so much to me if anyone replied lol
@mellow wigeon listen to isabells critiques and add a bunch lf furniture
i finally finished my terraforming ^^
looks good
the contrast is so bright omg wtf
@safe thistle tysm!
wait you can have cherry blossom trees outside the event?
oh no! it's because i recently reset and wanted to get all the fish (:
@mellow wigeon Add loads of fence, flowers, nook mile and self-crafted furniture
how should i layout my houses can someone help me design ill pay you and give u gifts! im trying to make it a cute aesthetic
is it going to be organised or foresty?
Hi! Does anyone have ideas what I can do with my entrance(I kinda have problems because it’s really close to residents service)
so do you want neighbourhoods or scattered houses basically
Finished my infinity pool and I LOVE it 🥺
@gusty shard I love the colour scheme so much! You did a really good job :))
that's so cute omg
@woven drift Thank you!
I recently bulldozed my island so I'm having a lot of fun redecorating haha, especially now the nightmare of terraforming is 90% over
terraforming is literally hell
I just wish it wasn't so awkward, especially using the water tool 😂
exactly! it's so hard to make rivers wrap around cliffs lmao
Anyone have any ideas for a cute entrance? Colorful and classy and fairly natural/garden themed?
Already got someone using it! 
Does anyone have any cottagecore stargazing areas? I’m having a really hard time designing mine lol
@candid inlet ooo i'm doing fairycore rn so i really recommend tumblr and pintrest for inspo!
you could do some little 1 block rivers and waterfalls!
that's what i did haha (:
I made an island where the theme is every villager gets their own distinct area/biome beach/volcano/ice/mountain/desert/forest/garden etc. (except for three of them who just live in "town")
would anybody be open to checking it out sometime and giving constructive criticism?
i would love to see it!
id be happy to visit bc i love looking at other peoples towns but im trash at this
So can someone come to my island, and help me come up with ideas for an entrance? My residents services is SO CLOSE to my airport and I hate everything I’ve tried! 😭😭😭
Haha help
what's your theme?
my island is like 2 blocks away from my airport i just gave up
https://youtu.be/sezjCZEKUEc this girl has an entrance with a close resident services !

I wanted to do kind of a natural zen vibe, not too overbuilt. Like a rural Japanese village!
Anyone got any entrance inspo? My rs is very close and off centre ☺️
@rare hull i think the video i sent, her rs is close and off center. it’s around the first minute mark!
Yeah I’ve got the same problem! It currently looks like this but I’m not very happy about it
Nook's done! 
@empty dome that’s exactly how mine is, except my resident services is to the left! But I like that!!!
@woven drift ty! I’ll check it out now ☺️
😭😭
Are Mush Partitions Fences or single items?
@empty dome this may not help, but maybe try grouping things closer together? i find that my spaces look more used/authentic a bit cluttered
@empty dome this may not help, but maybe try grouping things closer together? i find that my spaces look more used/authentic a bit cluttered
@woven drift Thank you ! That’s a really good advice.
@drowsy olive they’re single items, nd no problem potato ^^
Hey guys I'm considering doing a hard reset and was wondering what river format is best; I currently have a west outlet map (I think I might wanna choose a double south outlet)
does anyone have a forest/fairy theme island that i can visit to get some inspo?
Looking for some inspo for displaying all the gulliver items!
Any ideas to make a good view?
The lighthouse is pretty
@idle topaz I'd definitely terraform the viewing area so it's up on a cliff at least hahaha, then it depends on your theme what you'll see in the view? I can't tell if its on a cliff or not lol..
@idle topaz I would maybe add some water, trees, flowers to make some like untouched nature thingy. If it's on a cliff I'd dig down one level
Before and after of my graveyard! Inspired by another one i found here ^-^
I just finished lucky's yard (graveyard area) and i'm wondering if there's anything i should change or improve on? Specifically the tall lantern and the warrior statues if i should switch them out for something else
@restive tangle It looks really good! I'd maybe change one of the warrior statues to something else, maybe a lion dog statue
@restive tangle Thought you were switching the statues to lion dogs. 😄
I still haven't been able to collect that much stone hahaha ^^" only 6 rocks to hit a day and they just want to give me clay T_T
but ok i'll definitely change them out as soon as i can hahaha
My Rainbow Fountain is finally complete! took almost 2 months to grow everything
incase anyone wanted ideas on what to do with RS being close to the airport and airport not straight with RS
does anyone have a garden/fairy/forest theme island that i can come to get some inspo?
if anyone wanted inspo on rainbow garden took so long to plan 🙂 (srry my ipad camera is bad xD)
@drowsy olive @ocean raft i changed out one of the statues for now since i dont have enough stone for another, but yeah i think the dogs look better hahaha
Anyone have a Design for a campsite?
@restive tangle That looks better. I could give you another one if you want.
I call my design "amateur hobbyist"
my tiki bar has been this empty for months and im now thinking of doing something about it, what items would fit in?
Working on an outdoor café & karaoke, does anyone know any good sets for the café section?
wicker endtables and seats
@ocean raft Hahaha no worries! I think i'll be able to collect enough stone for another tomorrow ^^ Thanks for the offer though
@molten swallow ooo maybe a hula doll and coconut juice
@rapid fog thank youu!
:'DD npp!
@molten swallow Yess definitely the hula dolls hahaha, i'm trying to collect them to put in my tiki area but no one wants to trade gulliver items :< How about palm lamps or rattan chairs as seating?
@molten swallow add simple panels with a custom design for shelves
@restive tangle thank youuu! yeah ive been struggling finding people who trade gulliver stuff too ahaha
Rattan stool and Rattan End Table would be great
also you could add some surfboards on the side to add more to the aesthetic @molten swallow
Starting work on a nice pond at the back of my residential district
thank you aaall for the ideas!!😊😊 ly
If you want, I can give you a free stool and endtable. you can then buy more from the nook store
looks good?
Amazing!! Great use of that awkward bit of land!
how do you get down again?
@green lichen space on the left looks like its for an incline
@green lichen it looks like they're planning to put an incline on the left
@jade fog Looks great! I'd maybe round the edges if possible
hopefully before any tourists go up there
@ocean raft it's possible but not looking good to be honest
I’m looking for inspiration on looks for when you come out of the airport?!
and thank you! now i'm more confident with that project 😄
how can i make my entrance better?
@jade fog I feel like it'd be great to add an ice cream stand there if there's enough space
@molten swallow I think that looks amazing as is omg :') How about adding a nice refreshment area around that fountain instead of that watercooler like put the coconut juice and infused water dispenser + a waiter for it? Sometimes you get those at hotels when you arrive
@restive tangle ohh thats a really good idea! ill try that out and maybe place the watercooler somewhere else!
@restive tangle I already used ice cream machine there hmm
idk what seems wrong with my library D': also sorry for bad pic idk how to upload stuff on twitter
So I'm currently making a tropical library area. What else do you think I can add to it to jazz it up?
@jade fog Oh i was thinking about a stall and the ice cream lamp next to it, you can always put another one of those shaved ice makers there too hahaha i have a couple along the beaches of my island
@somber bluff If you want it to feel tropical, place a sand path and the plant a palm tree on top of it 😊
@jade fog there can never be too much ice cream
@molten swallow omg ur whole island aesthetic is so nice!!!
@somber bluff Ooooh this looks great! So many bookshelves wow @_@ Maybe add some seating inside though?
A neat trick for Cafes I've seen on someone's island, is if you use Brick Walls to surround it (apart from entrance), it gives it an x-ray view, like in The Sims when you have it hide walls. Makes it look more than just an outdoor eatery
@rapid fog aww thank youu!!🥺🌴💗
:')
@rapid fog i'd definitely go in and add more bookshelves perhaps? It seems to me like more of a cafe with a bookshelf than a library atm hahaha or change the seating so its more cozy and add those book stacks on the floor + tables with books on them
Ok :)
does anyone have a airport waiting area they could share? i need some inspiration :)
@restive tangle ooooo oka!! thank youuuu :'D
@rapid fog this is my library hahaha... it's nothing special but it feels like more of a library than a cafe area maybe purely bc of the number of bookshelves hahaha
WOAH THE AMOUNT OF WOOD AND BOOKS TO MAKE ALL OF THOSE BOOKSHELVES AAA
@restive tangle omg what's the code for the sand path design??
@green lichen A neat trick for Cafes I've seen on someone's island, is if you use Brick Walls to surround it (apart from entrance), it gives it an x-ray view, like in The Sims when you have it hide walls. Makes it look more than just an outdoor eatery
|| Do you have a picture of it? I don't really get what you mean 😅
@restive tangle that looks soo amazing!
@rapid fog yeah hahaha it drove me insane losing that much wood in a single day, but i had that random bit of space that i didn't know what to do with and i had books in nooks that day so i decided to build a library ^^"
looks like 15 shelves? that's 75 books
And 150 wood
@somber bluff Do you mean the wood path on the sand? Unfortunately i lost it quite a while back already and a couple people have asked me for it )): Sorry about that
@restive tangle mwahaha it's worth it tho thank you for your help!! :'>
Awhh ok ;(
burrito: Fraid not. I saw it on someone I was visiting for Celeste. but just surround an area with brick and put some tables and chairs inside and you should get what I mean
@green lichen Okie, I will!
oh i think i found the qr! @somber bluff
i really dont like how looooong and dull this road is, is there any way to spice it up a little?
@rapid fog Oh this is it!! how did you find this??
magic~・:*+.(( °ω° ))/.:+ lol jk i found it on pinterest just typed in 'acnh wood planks'
@molten swallow this is probably stupid but maybe you could find a QR that’s like the sand but with little shells or starfish in it and then put it randomly on the path?
@candid inlet ohh yeah i really like that idea! thanks!
Thank you!!
np!!
Anyone have some inspiration for an "Overgrown Island"?
Maybe make it a shaded path similar to this?
@somber bluff thanks! I'll consider it!
I have this foresty area i made to lead up to dom's house, it's my first time trying a forest theme since i mostly have city on my island hahaha.. anything that looks odd/anything i can improve?
@restive tangle Its hilariously beautiful!
Hi all!
I wanted to ask if anyone could give me any tips on completely redecorating my island? Not restarting, but kinda starting my island from scratch to make a new theme, I've kinda started with planning buildings and I've started to move them, but the paths are throwing me off, should I just get rid of it all?
@vernal trellis Do you mean you have existing paths that bother you when renovating? If it gets to you then remove it, but if it's a lot i suggest just terraforming over it and only removing it when its necessary since when you put a cliff over it or put some water there the path will disappear anyway
hi there! i'm designing my outdoors restaurant and i just noticed that floor seats don't match imperial low tables 100%, so now i'm unsure between either using ones with natural wood or red wood, and i'd like some opinions! thank you ✨
How about using the little pillows instead?
Red woooood! ❤️
does the rest of your restaurant have red? maybe red wood
@woven drift I used the zen pillows instead! Then you can customise them to whatever you want hahaha, that said if you're set on the floor seats id go for the red wood and keep the brown tables, the red imperial low tables are just way too red IMO
oo that's a great idea, i'll see how i like the zen pillows and if i don't jive with those i'll go with red wood! thank you everybody!
getting there slowly:))
I have a small amount of space where i'm planning on putting stitches and pietros houses and making a fair/carnival area. Would having stone pathing/some kind of path as the floor for most of the area be better or should i leave it as grass? It's a little strange to have paths up to their houses and leave the rest as grass so i think its all or nothing
My entrance vs the look I actually want. But I am afraid theres not much space to achieve a nice look
I need ideas on what to do with museums
@restive tangle it could just be one of those city carnivals that pop up on the grass
not really happy with this yard, maybe someone has any suggestions how to improve it pls?
any ideas for an asian marketplace? kinda struggling atm): This is as far as i’ve got
@woven drift Yeah hahaha i'm thinking that could work, the problem is the pathing is a little strange since it's quite a confined area, and quite weird land to work with since its in between some other things
Anyone have a cottage core island? Looking for inspo 😭
@vast kindle good foundation, just try and fill it, more stalls, pathing etc
@vast kindle This is what mine looks like if it helps at all
Does anyone have a cute garden or a cute area for their turnips?
That’s gorgeous! thank u:))
Anyone have a cottage core island? Looking for inspo 😭
@green otter there is a ton cottage core island tours on youtube try look it up it's really helpful

I think my entrance is pretty crowded... any tips?
Try removing some flowers/spreading them out more
I think my entrance is pretty crowded... any tips?
@round spindle idk i really like it
^
Thank you!!
Can I have some campsite inspo? I need help. I made a little path leading up to it but idk what to do with it
What should I put here? It’s the village area but this space is empty. Plz send inspo. :/
I think my entrance is pretty crowded... any tips?
@aiia.bon#4485 I think you should make the pathway solid stone to make it feel less crowded, but also I really like it!
I used red and pink camellia
yall with waterfall entrances and my has a trash can as a first thing you get out lmao
Anyone with a 5 star island wanna let me tour their place?
@pulsar granite I think this entrance looks great! Such a change from the waterfall entrances lol now i'm feeling called out, looks like you have a lot of space between RS and the airport though
@karmic tundra
This is what I did for mine
My resident service is directly next to the entrance (on the right) now after some terraforming you can’t really notice anymore thanks to the tips from the chat !thx to all!
I need some help... My town island is immediately to the left when people enter my island and I just dont know how to design it. Any ideas?
Dodo gift shop and flight times ! Finally had to do something for this place lol
@pulsar granite I think this entrance looks great! Such a change from the waterfall entrances lol now i'm feeling called out, looks like you have a lot of space between RS and the airport though
@restive tangle yea and its perfectly centred as well i got lucky
Need some inspiration plz any ideas? This used to be where one of my villagers house was but I move him. Idk what to put here
@pulsar granite i also have the waterfall entrance lol but will say it i did it before i saw a million on here and only did it because my RS is literally 8 steps from airport and uncentered
@pulsar granite i also have the waterfall entrance lol but will say it i did it before i saw a million on here and only did it because my RS is literally 8 steps from airport and uncentered
@ebon bough i like waterfalls i'd probably do them if i saw that earlier lol
i need help! i just got terraforming and would love to see what you guys have done with the entrance of your island if your resident services is fairly close to the airport
@pulsar granite
Is this better?
@dapper rose lol hopping on the lame waterfall entrance vibe here, but my RS is 6 tiles off the entrance
just started making audie a karaoke place/bar but its kinda hard, any ideas? (and no i havent started putting out stuff so dont think its done yet 😂)
@molten swallow Add a mic, big tv with speakers around it, some of those box sofas might work for seating and if theres enough space... one of those pool tables hahaha. Also tambourines
@restive tangle ohh thank you so much, i will for sure do that!
Hi everyone can someone please help me : I'm looking for a Japanese Shrine inspiration and a great Zen Garden
Anybody doing island tours? I need some inspo 🥺🥺
Can someone help me plan out my island? I have ideas but I don’t know how to put them out smoothly 😖
How did you guys fill up your islands? I've only decorated my home, villagers area, museum and campsite and now I'm so lost LOL and if anyone's down to give some feedback/ideas for my attempt on a cottage core island, please DM me and I'll send pics! ❤️
i kinda like this place lol, but how can i improve?
I'd just say add more colour with items instead of just flowers
ice cream light 👁_👁
You could start by customising cushions and maybe you'll unlock some hidden thought process
Surfboards
thanks people! will do all! :))
Can I come to someone’s island to get some inspiration?
I made a surf area as someone told me a couple of days ago
This little "meditation" spot was the last area I filled up. Liking it so far.
Omg this is amazing
Anyone have some ideas that I could add to my funeral haha. I can make the area bigger if I need to.
More flowers and stones maybe
Custom paths would help create a flooring
Anyone have suggestions for this villager yard?
@fast tapir you should add a few more candles! It would look very nice during nighttime, but you do what you think is best!
@woeful sparrow @soft plaza @austere sand ooh, thank you all! I like those ideas
@fast tapir dont drop flowers, place em
Ahah no problem
Does anyone have pictures of their resident services areas? Need some inspiration!
can someone give me some suggestions on how to decorate outside of ables? I have done some but it looks kinda bland🥴
@neat zealot I'd maybe move the furniture a bit so you can place more and swap the DIY bench for one thst goes more with the colour sceme
ok ill try it!
?vil roald
@coral carbon This is my inspo
Thoughts on paths anyone? I can’t decide if all stones or alternating looks better
Go with alternating, just only stone makes it look too busy
@ocean raft those do look really good! thank you!
@woven drift I prefer alternating
Anyone mind helping me think of ideas for my island! If you help decorate I can pay, Messege me xx
Can someone show me their entrance plz?🥺
My entrance @lunar leaf
I really cant choose which stairs. The red one or the gray one? It's the entrance of my museum
dobie got a place to drink tea while kid cat got a kiddie pool lol
@wide ledge the red one! 😁
@ocean raft what do you think about it now?
@neat zealot Looks a lot better! Maybe move the brown circle with pink and white into the middle?
I’m looking for a specific set of like chairs and such and I cannot find it anywhere
It’s wood?? It kinda reminds me of Birch from Minecraft
ok sounds good!
@balmy jetty try looking for tables on the website nookazon they have a catalog of every item
Ty!!
Here’s my graveyard area 😊 I posted this on my ac insta already but just in case anyone needs inspiration!
@balmy jetty There are two sets that are white wood tables, both are crafted ,theres teh log set(https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Log_Set_(New_Horizons)) and the natural garden set(https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Natural_Garden_Set_(New_Horizons))

@soft plaza
YOURE LITERALLY THE BEST THANK YOU
area near marshals house! opinions?
maybe try extending the patio flooring to the left and have the tables on it. Also maybe try adding some fencing that goes with the house
I’m having trouble figuring out what to do along the beaches! I’ve got a tiki bar & library cafe. But what should I put towards the pier area?? 😫
@broken zephyr I have a surfshop area on my beach that I really like
@neat zealot will do! ty! i thought it looked plain as well. 💞
Imagine each square is a house, is this enough room?
@neat zealot oh yes that’s a good idea! I’ve got 3 down in a spot but maybe I should get a few more and set up a stall?
@tacit tree yes! i think it’s gives room to decorate!
@tulip swan thank you!
@broken zephyr That sounds really good! Heres my surfshop if you need ideas
What are some clever was people have used clothes to decorate :^0
@wispy estuary I use custom design clothes to act like characters
@wispy estuary i haven't done anything myself but I saw someone use clothing to make a little workshop outside of able sisters. Like they put a sewing machine and used clothes to make it look like workers there
Cuuute!!! Tysm
my town hall is 2 steps from my entrance so it’s impossible to have a cool entrance but i tried my best 😪
i used clothes to make this small market look crowded! @wispy estuary
can anyone come to my island and give me some layout advice?
Hi 🙂 someone have yards for all villagers? Looking for some inspiration
what should i do for this plot?
a playground or duck pond would be cute!
So I moved a house but it’s not centered. If I move the house to the beach today, can I move it to the same spot but more centered afterwards? Thanks!
A little Chilling Place in my Island 🏝️🌻🍀
Diana areas 🙂 she likes alot of white and shells
@upbeat ibex yes you can but it takes a day to have it rebuild
Anyone have any ideas for what I can do with townhall?
@woven drift BURN IT DOWN !!
What would I put instead tho?
@woven drift I’m kidding it can’t be moved as of now
My island map
@granite spire thank you!
I’m gonna be resetting sometime this week
For a carnival area, should i use the red stripes, colourful or one of the polka dot patterns for stalls? I don't want to waste another custom design slot for something thats already good enough in the game but i can't decide hahaha
All the dotted paths on the left side are my flower breeding gardens
I’d go with red or colorful stripes
idk if this counts as "island design" but i enjoy when dobie waters my flowers
i like the look of this small spot alot its peaceful especially with kk lullaby lol
@livid owl That looks so good! I love your entrance. I just wish I was more creative in-game!
Can I seriously not plant a tree here?
@pure nimbus Looks like there's enough space there? Unless thats an incline right in front of it
There isn’t. Does it matter if it’s a palm tree?
@pure nimbus yes you need sand you can use the sand path
@pure nimbus Yeah hahaha, you need to plant palm trees on a sand path :) just put 1 block of it down
Oh ok that doesn’t ruin the idea I had. Thank y’all
I’m resetting my Island this week and I am going to make it natural themed anyone have ideas for me?
I have this empty area on my island what should I turn it into?
hello guys! could you please show me a pic of your residential area? I promise I won't copy anyone's, but I need inspiration for mine. Thanks!
so ive been raising up land in this area
how should i go about this? do i connect the mountain to it and up the river or make it like a plateau?
My residential services is kinda close but it is perfectly alligned with my airport anyone have ideas going for natural theme
@mossy kernel you could have a picnic area, a graveyard, a cafe, a library or just a pond if you feel like it : )
@gray spruce alright thanks :)
@echo snow you could have just a simple path with waterfalls on either side and you could decorate with rocks, fruit and flowers if that sounds good : )
Okay thanks
What do you guys think of my infinity pool? I’m gonna put some cancer tables in the middle of the chairs
Looking for flower designs/breeding
anyone have a cottage core island here??
here’s my mini farm and greenhouse kinda thing.
Working on a flea market area anyone have any inspo ?
Anyone want to come to my island to discuss outdoor designs?
My campsite
How big is one of these squares? Like 20x20 or 30x30?
Anyone have ideas for a beachfront shopping centre? It’s going to transfer into a beach cafe as well but i need visuals
@tacit tree just dig up holes/put Paths and count them
This is my island❤️
@tacit tree theyre only 16×16
@tacit tree the squares are 16 x 16
@deft glen thank you 🙂
That's really pretty @night jolt
Thanks☺️
I need some inspo and suggestions for themes for my island 👌
@night jolt hey do the star fragment trees corrupt your save file?
Can I get some inspo on villager organization? How did you organize your villagers houses? I'm having trouble figuring out the best method for me
I guess i will ask here since this is the channel for it so. when picking my island theme should i care about the exterior of my villagers houses like it would be weird to have a gothic theme and have like stitchs bright yellow house there. should i pick a theme accourding to my villagers exteriors?
@night jolt hey do the star fragment trees corrupt your save file?
@rapid fog They didn't. Apparently just if you shake them, but I do not know exactly. I fenced them in with items.
@weary depot what about no-theme island? XD
can someone help me on where to put around this area? sorry for asking so suddenly if there’s a discussion in mind :(
@weary depot you could put stitches and combine your theme and his together
thats actually a good idea bengnom
Anyone have any inspo for the shops?
Flower fields @stiff thorn
can someone help me on where to put around this area? sorry for asking so suddenly if there’s a discussion in mind :(
@stiff thorn a picnic, mini library, painting area ?
I'm making yards for each of my villagers what should I put in them?
(The crossed out ones I've already made)
@night jolt eek ok thanks, the trees look so nice, hope nintendo adds them someday
Yes
I need some inspo and suggestions for themes for my island 👌
tysm! i might add a picnic AND some flowers just to merge both of yalls ideas 😎
@unreal breach Celia could be a homey kitchen with mom items. She's totally a mom
@night jolt where did you get the star trees btw? I can’t find them for sale anywhere ;;
Someone gifted them to me
which one do you like more as an entrance for my residential area?
Ah gotchya I’ve been looking for them for a while
@coral moat the one above looks best
@coral moat 1,
Someone gimme suggestions for island themeeeesss
alright, thanks! 🙂
Can someone please show me so ideas for the museum
Y’all think this looks good? Or is their anything I should change
i personally like something more natural
Add flowers or something to the top that is all
Should i have my campsite right against a waterfall or with a one block space between both sides next to the waterfall
against
@grim coyote I'd leave one space between the campsite an the left waterfall but leave it against the other one
So here’s what I have so far on my shopping district, I just finished moving both shops, as u can see I have some stalls as well, I’m struggling to think of a good layout, like what would look nice but also be good to walk around in
I have a 6 by 15 thing of space. Has anyone got any ideas what I could do with it. It’s between some villager homes and the residence service centre
A picnic or hang out area? like a place for the villagers to come and relax, and put a small pond for them to fish in
karaoke bar
Hey I have a weird question for y’all. What you do you guys do with your pathing as in is it straight, curved, snaking because I’m trying to make a c curved path but mines sloppy
Does anyone have some ideas on how to terraform/decorate river exits? I have two south river exits and they’re driving me mad xD
@quaint fjord that’s not a bad idea. I might plant trees in the corners and add some garden chairs. Maybe a stall and some picnic blankets around with some food items
@rare barn you need to use custom patterns for a perfect curve
@rare barn I like to utilize the curves to make unique shapes like this, with symmetry they can look very nice
@soft plaza I’m not looking for perfect I was just looking for acceptable to a degree where it’s not 90 degree angles
@quaint fjord that’s not a bad idea. I might plant trees in the corners and add some garden chairs. Maybe a stall and some picnic blankets around with some food items
@magic pulsar yes yes! and house plants if you have them too, and bamboo
What should I do w this v small cliff?
@rare barn are you looking for somehting like this?
@wispy estuary Maybe add some more flowers, a tree, shrubs, fences and a bench
Yea!!! @soft plaza
@quaint fjord that will also make sense because I’ve a camp fire just north of it
does anybody have any tips where i should put three neighbourhoods on the island? im going to build cliffs and stuff too but i cant figure out where the neighbourhoods should go
@soft plaza wow I'm taking that path so nice
Suggestions for a seafood restaurant?
@drifting light Like this?
@gritty shuttle a lot of people use imperial bamboo or shell furniture for seafood restaurants you could also make it indoors since theres alot of fish posters and stuff
@rare barn you can get some quite nice curves using circle stepping stones. I use it a few times on my map
Could people post pictures of their outdoor theaters?? Looking for inspiration 🙂
@gritty shuttle Heres my seafood cafe area
@soft plaza that’s really cute!!! 💕 thank you!!
Do you still have the code for that path @soft plaza ?
@gritty shuttle I had this for my seafood restaurant. Ended up replacing it with a traditional English pub though.
Anybody got any arcade style inspo?☺️
Looking for some inspiration or design around a house similar to Leonardo’s... picture is of Leonardo’s house
@soft plaza thank you ❤️
@shadow falcon I’ve put all my townhouses in a little beach front village
do y’all like ?
nice!
Anyone have any entrance inspo, in paticular modern streets or modern/urban entrances?
I restarted my island!! Need some help rebuilding. Iron for gold nugget
Gold for iron **😄
What theme should I go for on my island
Steampunk
@fossil frost I really like nature/cottagecore
Yeah maybe
Idk what to do either but I’m thinking to do cottagecore
Looking for outdoor diy crafting area inspo /.\ 🥺💘🎀💗⭐️
My island feels so small and I want an expansion but I know that’ll never happen😔

Or if anyone has any star themed islands. That’s what I’m going for.

Does anyone have a garden where they were able to create a pattern or image out of their flowers? I'm trying to decide if I want to make an area where I create a design out of flowers similar to this (though not Mickey mouse) and am wondering if anyone else was able to do it
Can someone give me pond ideas?
Looking fo camp-site ideas mine feels kinda bare.

@woven drift so good! How does it look In colored
@sharp stump
This is the colored version!
@ancient marsh An airport lounge area would be a good idea
@woven drift that’s so amazing wow
Great use of a pipe organ
WOW @woven drift this is insane
@woven drift what’s the item you used for the windows called. I know it’s a custom design
simple panel, i think
thanks guys, I took the base idea from someone on twitter (will try to find their @) but made my own custom design and other item choices 🙂 and yes it's a simple panel
Thank you @woven drift
Ok kinda weird request; but does anyone wants to see my island? The only person I know who plays this game is my sister and haven't really showed anyone my island. Would also love to visit other great islands to get new ideas
When my layout looks ugly bc it's just custom designs 😔
After a little thought and trying not force it, I finally came up with this as a start, thoughts?!
What furniture or items would go well in a beehive? I’ve got the white beehives all made just don’t know the furnishings and touches 🙏🏼
finished my island today and I’m still in shock 😂 only took three months askdhsjak
Here’s buggy boi filberts house haha
cute pic of maple i took at harvs island 
Oh my 🥺
I finally got my own switch and transferred my stuff over from my brothers switch i was using and this is my entrance (so far). I’m thinking putting lily of valleys along the sides of the waterfall entrance next to the brick path? What do you guys think?
Ignore that fossil that needs dug up but what do y'all think of my Camp area??
Anyone have a yard for katt, Marshal, bluebear, Zucker, marina, or Raymond? I’m trying to come up with some but I can’t
What kind of fences do you guys have around flowe fields?
Any items you all recommended for a theatre? Specifically a drive in theatre?
https://twitter.com/hotelforbees/status/1272255181674082304?s=21 a few pictures of my island! :D
@warm dew def retro race car beds. As well as vertical board fencing with simple panels for the screen
I need help for the museum 💀 could anyone send ideas?
Which kind of fence? 🙂 do you guys think
My island just hit 5 stars y’all 😭😭 it’s not fully done but if anyone wants to come vibe and check out what I have done dm me! Integrated nature-esk theme w/ lots of flowers

Wow that’s wild i didn’t know flowers made that huge of an impact 🥴 and I’ll dm u fufu!
@kindred shoal
My brother moved to a different console and I'm just starting to realise that he was the creative one....
@kindred shoal not done yet but you get the idea
@kindred shoal this is part of my museum area
I need help what should I do I am trying to make this crescent lake however I'm not sure what to do should I move the house to where I want and demolish the bridge I have and then start the lake?
@pseudo rune @granite spire @dawn swallow thank you!!! Trying my best to finish this 😓
Can I get some Feedback please?
Looking nice so far. Maybe add some stalls to the left or right
@pseudo rune love your path can i have the code for it ?
@warm crest maybe start roughing in where you want the lake and then if you find that the bridge and house are in the way demo and move them?
@granite spire yes! I will send in a sec, it is on my computer
@dawn swallow any idea as to what I could put on the stall?
@pseudo rune I want the lake to be in the center so I think they are in the way
@warm dew thats super cool! i like it the way it is
Maybe some coconut juice for beverages or some other food item
@granite spire and anyone else interested here are the paths I made and use on my island ~
@dire wren i made a flower field with bee models around the hives with bee crossing signs
@pseudo rune thank you
Any ideas for a zen garden ?
Which way should I have it? Hedge in front of brick or iron
iron
Hey does anyone have map ideas with a east and south rivers
@grim coyote brick if you want a lighter feel, iron if you don't mind that it's dark

@dawn swallow thanks for the advice! Will definitely use it
Hello fellow people I’m struggling with planning an island layout but I have two maps that are better than my others and I would like to know wich one you prefer! Also if you have any tips pls tell me!
@grim coyote i like the iron gives me a feeling of the hedge growing over the fence
@woven drift I like the second one because I like more organic/flowing areas than all the right angles but both have their merits!
2nd fosho,, more natural,, lessmanicured is just cooler imho
my island is a big ol mess :/
@pseudo rune Ty for telling me! I asked yesterday to and everybody has said the second one (:
Which one do u like tho?@woven drift
@wispy estuary ty for telling me to!
I also tried the other iron fence
My campsite has a pretty decent sized area. Any advice or cool decoration stuff?
@grim coyote metal stone fence is still coolest
Not my campsite but think it is pretty @latent sage
@wispy estuary I really don’t know I’m so scared it will feel small if I actually end up doing the second one I’ll have to redo it again but It really stresses me out planning since I never feel like it’s good enough haha
@woven drift if u make ur paths kinda inconvenient ur island will feel big,, just add lots of decoration in the spaces inbetween and you'll be a okay. I promise
i have this park area what should i add its heavily inspired by a girl on the chat who gave me inspo btw
@wispy estuary tysm for the advice I can’t believe I’ve never thought of that it’s actually really helpfull and also hopefully yes hehe
its heavily inspired by a girl on the chat who gave me inspo btw
@woven drift I really like the second one and it'll honestly probably look super nice. You most likely feel like it'll feel small because the simple more nature-y look of the map on the drawing make it look a bit small. But once you get into it, it'll feel a lot more spacious In sure. And the inconvenient pathing will def help too
@woven drift ty for telling me and saying it will look nice really hope you’re right but just in case I’ll keep on making more plans to see if I can do better!
Honestly can never have too many plans. I felt the same way when I started designing my island. Drawing it on the map makes it feel so much smaller and it wasn't until I was running around doing things that I realized it's way bigger than I was imagining lol
What site/app are you guys using to design your island?
That actually gives me hope the same will happen to me ty (:
I’m using procreate! It costs money tho.. I use it since I already have it for drawing but any drawing app would honestly work (:there’s also happy island designer but I find it a little complicated but that’s just me!
Yall out here planning ur island n stuff and I'm over here like ' haha water shovel go tsk tsk'
