@prime wharf your map is really coming together! You have some cool looking terraforming going on there. Keep up the good work!
@pseudo rune yeh ive been struggling with the entrance, but i also havent spent much time on it either, cant really think of anything that works with the rest of my theme, so i went with simple for now....not sure what i could really do to improve it tbh
Any ideas on what I should do with my entrance? I had a little marketplace/trading stall there first
@pseudo rune haha tysm !! i tore it down recently so the right side is still part of my old island thats why its sort of out of place haha :))
@desert heart I am trying to do like a body worlds exhibit out the front of mine with like anatomical models and skeletons. Still in the early designing phase tho
@woven drift maybe terraform back a little and put a fountain at the T in the paths?
@manic beacon maybe just remove the bench in front of the panel. It will open things up. Otherwise yeah it is good!! Great job
nearly finished 1 of 2 canals yesterday, i like how it came out! still need to finish up the path edges, i just realized 😛
@woven drift maybe terraform back a little and put a fountain at the T in the paths?
@pseudo geode I do have this fountain area to the right of my entrance right in front of my resident services
@prime wharf I am in the process of redoing a quarter of my island so I feel ya haha
@woven drift hmm maybe remove back flowers and do rivers on the back side of the paths
@manic beacon love the European feel
@pseudo geode lol thanks! im glad you can tell the theme just my looking at the pic! thats a good sign 😛
i just worked a little bit on my island layout! On the left corner above that’s my star way to heaven thingy. The right corner above is a zen area. And the thing next to my house is my flower garden!
My WIP map. Gonna be moving my Nooks and Ables and moving the villager houses off the beach into the boxes around the pond to the right of RS. I have a forested nature park vibe kinda going.
anyone out here got some rad inspo for people with their airport and town hall super close together? much loves!
Struggling with that atm aswell lol
Can yall help me pair my villagers together for my residential area? I have zucker and coco paired already
Looking for neighbourhood ideas with maybe rivers/waterfalls/pond areas?
Apollo/Chief, Flora/deer, Tangy/Roald, Bob/dog @tight badge
@pseudo rune I was thinking the same for Apollo and flora pair
What does everyone think of my plan?
Idk if this helps anyone w the resident services and airport that are close together but this is mine 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
@coral shale trust me it helps alot, my current feels so smushed so seeing how other people handle it helps alot 😄
@spice wagon aww ty! Hope it helps haha
my plaza is so close to my god damn airport its hard to work around it
@humble fractal I feel you, I planned a bigger entrance but the plaza interfered
Dangerous playground? 
mc gibbon got an island tour congrats to them whooooo!!!
The close-ness hurts me so bad, also yes i lost my mind we dont talk about that~
Entrance wip so far
I’m thinking of doing a library leading into an orchard behind it, thoughts?
Currently in the process of flattening my island because I decided I hate it (-----: quite tempted to restart my game at this point lmao. I want more of a natural/forest vibe and I already terraformed the heck out of any of my original map features
@wispy storm My entrance is pretty big, but it's like right next to the plaza which is a bit of a annoyance
I love how amelia is chilling in the cafe
My plaza isn't too close to my airport, but it is off-centre. This is how I had it before I started bulldozing. Cliffs/waterfalls are a good way to block things off
I had one of those long waterfall entrances but I hated how loud it was and it interfered with my other terraforming plans
i was blessed with my town hall being so close to my airport, i have no clue what i should do with my entrance lol
Hello! Was thinking of recreating the arch de triomphe and champs élysées one my island since I have a Long stretch of thin land.
Anyone have any ideas what items would be good for the recreation?
What are you going to use for the arc?
I guess the stone arc looks similar
im rlly struggling with my rivers atm, does anyone have natural river inspo thats not double south?
@woven drift there's a really nice guide to making natural rivers in the pinned posts
@lone delta you could try to use 2 reversed weddinh organs for the pillars, but there would be no way of connecting them
ooh ill check it out! thx
What do you guys think about using the frozen arch? 🤔
@still citrus Whaaat? Your island looks so clean on the map tho
Don’t know how I’m feeling about what I did to my entrance now lol
I’m looking for inspiration on a cottagecore market, mine doesn’t look very cottagecore so I wanna change that thanks!
My butterfly layout :)
Hey @versed wadi where abouts is the river guide? I can't see it
any ideas on how to make this less boring? was thinking about switching to a fence or changing flowers but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas❤️ it only leads to my house that’s surrounded by cliffs, going for a cottage/forresty vibe
What did you guys do with the rocks at the beach? I could really use some inspiration.
My butterfly layout :)
@woven drift wow this is so beautiful!
I’m building a semi-urban theme and have run out of ideas
@ionic wyvern thank you so much 💗
any ideas on how to make this less boring? was thinking about switching to a fence or changing flowers but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas❤️
@granite lagoon maybe replace some of the white roses with different colours or flower breeds ?
Any ideas for the entrance?
Can anyone help I'm new
hii has anybody some ideas for a entrance for jolly redd
Alrighty next question. 😂 A, B OR C?
Alrighty next question. 😂 A, B OR C?
@feral agate "A" all of them look good btw
Yeah I really like that one a lot.
i like C!!!
I'm no expert bcs my island be lookin' like trash lol
B is nice too, just threw in c to have a third option. I like Burch.
With just what you have, C.
A only looks good because of that brick circle patch behind it. Otherwise C blends in with your aesthetics better.
Yeah all the circles above are different patterns it just so happens that’s right there, and I thought the same thing.
@feral agate Could I get the code for that moon shaped stone path? 🥺
Oh yeah, then totally C.
C it is!
@keen tundra star gazing area with telescope and other similar items, or you could do a mini beach bar :)
Do you guys like this area I’m kind of on the fence about it and if you like it are there any improvements I could make😊
Audience benches
Any ideas what I should put here?
I have one and omg I forgot to put another one omg thanks😂
Or school chairs would match the outdoor music theme
What should I decorate this cliff with?
floor lights work well on top
I have a big space next to ables and I have no idea what to do with it because the area with shops/rs is more urban based🥴 suggestions would be helpful!!
@humble fractal star gazing area sound cool! Thanks. I already have a bar on the beach.
guys my island is like really ugly and idk how to make it better, does anyone have any tips
Thanks @versed wadi you legend
No worries, pretty much everyone has a star gazing area there i'm sure :), glad i could help @keen tundra
I’ve kinda ignored the rocks all the time because I had no idea what to do with them lol. Just put some random crap on it, but really wanna make something nice now @humble fractal
I haven't started on them much either yet lol
It got limited space so it’s hard to make something nice. I was thinking about some cosmo showers, making a little shower area on one of the rocks.
I made a little cafe by the rocks because I didn’t know what to put there (dw the pattern on the stall is gonna change to match the greenish vibe!)
That looks so cute!!
Tyyy!
I have so many cafe and bar areas on my island already though. I like to put them everywhere lol
Help pls Idk what to do for a residential area and more
What the heck do I add to my exterior? It looks so empty!!
What the heck do I add to my exterior? It looks so empty!!
@eternal stream maybe some potted plants or the garden lanterns
Ahh yes that would be cute!
someone who wants me to visit a beautiful island for a video about you tube?
Anyone with a cool resident area pls
There’s literally a bench right there and Roald decides to sit on the ground
Hi folks, I am looking for inspiration from islands that are like wilderness, not too developed, but something like exploring a forest. There's lots of great islands out there that are city-like and developed, but I'm trying to go for a natural vibe on my island 🏕️🙂
whats the code for that flight plan thing? lol @soft copper
@humble fractal i cant remember, i found it ages ago and cant remember the source
Ah. No worrries then
Would you leave your leave you islanders where they are or move them? New to game, really need some inspo please xxx
My entrance! So proud of it
Love the table cat pic
Looks nice with the all the snow :)
looking for japanese/asian theme island to visit for ideas. can visit mine for ideas in return if you want
What should I put here? 🙂
@pseudo tree maybe a music stage? If you don’t already have one
looking for japanese/asian theme island to visit for ideas. can visit mine for ideas in return if you want
@odd falcon me too cuz my island is a WRECK
@pseudo tree if you don’t have one already maybe a small lounge or cafe
@pseudo tree You could add a small library/cafe area? I think that’d be cute! Like a little sit down and read type of thing 😊
@mighty viper I have those 😩😩
@pseudo tree maybe a little pottery class? :0
Ouu! That'd be soo cute!! @eternal stream thanks 🥰
Np! You could use the item clay and then maybe a pitcher for the creations? That would be cute! A stone stool would be the closest thing to a pottery wheel too
Yess! That'd be super adorable!! 😩
@pure orchid mine’s ok. need to fill out another third with ideas
I’m posting lots today. I’m sorry but I am in love. Simple but yet elegant. My garden library.
I wanna make my island have a grave yard! any suggestions?
My surf shop! I need a surf shop sign to put in front. Also thinking of doing a beach BBQ restaurant next to it
A BBQ would be so cute with that!! Looks really good!
I used to have a graveyard for Lucky
what do you have now?
I’ve never posted pictures of my island for anyone to see... but since so many people are wanting inspiration for their entrances.. this is mine 💕🥺
@mighty viper that is really cute!!
Looking for islands with a huge bazaar for inspiration, does anyone know someone or have this on their island?
How the heck do you furnish your middle room in your house? I've literally done every other room
anyone got good island layout for villager housing
love it! looks amazing
@manic sigil Thank you 😍💗
Can someone come to my island and give me ideas I haven’t really been playing for too long , and I’m stuck for ideas?
Please I will pay you !!
Anyone has an idea on what kind of flower or item should i place on the sides? Also i'm not sure how it looks that path with those Brick fences...
does anyone have any inspiration on how to set up island homes??
I'm doing my Shop entrance in to a workshop kinda, what should I add near the entrance of the Nooklings?🧐
Is Wade okay? 🥺
I'm doing my Shop entrance in to a workshop kinda, what should I add near the entrance of the Nooklings?🧐
@hushed echo maybe you can add a diner area or something like that
yeah, I was thinking about that. Maybe the iron garden table? to fit the style..
Need advice... I just got 3 stars and I unlocked terraforming.. should I uproot my entire Rose field at my entrance? (Like 200+ gold roses)
Or should I try and build around it...?
Redid Star Pond a little. What do you think?
Really cool!
hi! i'm looking for inspo for some sort of reading café 🙂
Finally 🎉
omg that took forever, I know - I hated doing that and now I... never use it tbh @astral oracle
it's that i'm looking to use something that combines with the bookshelf
omg that took forever, I know - I hated doing that and now I... never use it tbh @astral oracle
@north schooner oh shit 😂 hope i will use this everyday
That was the wrong pic oops
Also finished my dig site! Should i add anything?
@sour lake maybe bury some sticks so you have the dig spots too?
oh I looooooooove it, that gives me an idea of what to do behind my museum maybe.
ty!
damn, 6 spots? 😢
big boii fossil
I know! 😦 but it’s the smallest best looking one I could find!
I found that earlier this month, pretty cool too
ohhhh that's super cool.
This is the one I wanted but it’s 3x3!
😍
any tips on how to make my island more natural/cottagecore?
im trying to use minimal paths but it looks kinda weird so i need advice for that
Maybe some of the disperced stone patterns could help (I don't have any code rn...)
I need inspiration for my nooks cranny
@flat stream I just finished my cottagecore-ish entrance and I think adding a lot of the cedar and Apple trees and just building a lot of cliffs + waterfalls. Also the cosmo flowers fit the aesthetic pretty well
Map is done!

@wispy storm ty!
I forgot I had this
how my "reading cafe" is turning out by now 🙂
Im working on a little cafe atm (very close to a beach bar as u can see). I want to make it a little more comfy - has anybody ideas for it?
town square inspo?
so i just reset my town for the 3rd time and now i’m debating on picking a new map again or is this a good one? idk😬😬
That looks pretty good to me. The beaches are huge
I like the island in the middle you can do something unique with that :)
@Guizmo532#4935 that is awesome
Does anyone have an outdoor library they could share
ahh thank you! i don’t know why i’m so nervous to start working on it maybe because i fear failing lol
makes me feel so much better that others think the layout rn with my rivers and stuff looks nice haha 🥰
anyone have the diy for bookshelf stuff? i wanna make a library
same 😮 where do you even get that DIY?
its just a random diy you get
same 😮 where do you even get that DIY?
@floral nimbus I got it from a balloon
dang it, i keep getting DIYs i already know from balloons and my villagers haha
Try seeing if anyone can sell it to you
look in #diy-trade or use nookazon, thats where i got my diy from
can i get some feedback on my entrance?
@woven drift it's a curiosity shop but everyone thinks it's a library so
I have this area by my shops and museum where I’m planning on putting a cafe. Do you think I should use the rattan furniture or the Natural garden furniture? Also do you have any photos for inspo?
can i get some feedback on my entrance?
@hardy pivot This is amazinggg!!
@𝚘𝚑𝚎𝚢𝚍𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚍𝚜#7631 if you reset your town do you lose all your diys/bells/NMT etc? Xx
hi i’m looking for a witchy style island to look round? dm me if i can come to yours:)
thank you so much!! 
@patent sky a bit smaller than I wanna do
@white raven i personally prefer the natural garden furniture
Tysm! @hardy pivot I think I’m going to go with the natural garden set
Has anyone integrated his flowergarden (to grow them) really nicely into their island? 🙂 I always have feeling, the flowers make everything messy. 😄
@polar merlin I’ve tried to make a garden but the flowers get too overgrown
@polar merlin I’ve tried to make a garden but the flowers get too overgrown
@white raven same

@polar merlin i made a rainbow garden!
LF cottagecore or natural themed island!
not sure if this counts but i think this looks nice
@sullen terrace oh that sounds nice! Would you show it to me? 🙂
I’m still working on a couple colors but yea!
@hardy pivot that looks awesome! 🙂
@polar merlin
@sullen terrace try using the blue fences it might look nicer
Does anyone have any ideas for a Japanese restaurant
I'm in need of some inspiration for nooks and ables if anyone has some. I don't know where to put them or how the area is gonna look, but I want them to have their own area sort of dedicated to them if you know what I mean.
@vagrant widget yes!
Thx
Thx
@vagrant widget yw 💖
help, what should I add to my entrance
help, what should I add to my entrance
@sterile violet add some log stakes throughout and more tiny flower patterns - maybe accented with some tiny purple flower patterns
thank u
Any idea on what color flowers I should put here? 🥵
@sullen terrace what color is ur airport?
Yellow @bitter inlet
Will it be weird if i move the campsite up there ? 😒 please help 😦
@sullen terrace maybe yellow, white, bit of orange then
Thank you! 🥰
@errant rain well it doesn’t have much room up there, unless u plan on expanding it.
im looking for inspo for a cottagecore hidden forest path type of thing. Its going to lead to a hidden grove
@bitter inlet Oh if I expanding it , will it look ok ? Cause it is beside the resident service
:(( im stuck seriously
Should I scratch my island and do a different layout like one of these or keep my old layout. My layout is at the bottom. I’m also doing a Halloween theme island
Anyone have a indoor fairy cafe or something like that?
Honestly I’m at my wits end and I have no idea what to do with my island. Everything is in such an awkward position, and I don’t have the bells or space to move all of it. Should I try to salvage it or just reset? If anyone has some advice pls pm me

@tawny sequoia I have the same layout and I think it's not that bad. Just buy some turnip and sell it, then repeat several times - and yo uwill have enough bells to move everything.
@raw bloom I would first try to make/find a map that fits your island (i.e. with the correct river ends)
Hi there. I'm looking for some inspiration for a swimming area next to my campsite. Thanks!
anyone have ideas for cottage like restaurant?
@tawny sequoia I have the same layout and I think it's not that bad. Just buy some turnip and sell it, then repeat several times - and yo uwill have enough bells to move everything.
@daring sail I do have a few turnips, but I’ve been hesitant with buying them because my turnip prices haven’t been very good lately, thanks for the advice tho. I’ll see if I can sell on someone else’s island
im looking for inspo for a cottagecore hidden forest path type of thing. Its going to lead to a hidden grove
@sour birch mine’s not super “hidden” per se, but I feel like the houses I have in this area feel pretty tucked away: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/hh114p/tried_to_make_my_first_cottagecore_area_and_im/
@errant rain tbh I think it would look weird there because it’s so close to rs
@daring sail I do have a few turnips, but I’ve been hesitant with buying them because my turnip prices haven’t been very good lately, thanks for the advice tho. I’ll see if I can sell on someone else’s island
@tawny sequoia Totally go and sell on others' islands, I do it all the time. I would buy in portions of 39 stacks (if you have little money, buy 39, if you have enough, buy 39+39, 39+39+39, and so on). Then I empty my pocket and I get 39 stacks and 1 pocket place is reserved for the payment. Collect enough NMTs, usually you can pay in tickets anywhere. Watch youtube for the videos on how to make 10000 nook miles in one hour (absolutely no cheating, just correct pocket organization). Then go and sale! I usually buy 39*6, so I make six trips and I have enough money to move anything.
@lime vortex thats exactly what i was looking for☺️ do you happen to have the code for the dirt path you used?
If anyone wants some inspiration for a natural feeling island, hit me up! Would love to share some ideas and maybe get some inspiration from your island as well 😄
Which websites/ apps do you guys use for the layout map plans?
@vague mason I just used Excel 😆
Okay- is that a website orrr
https://eugeneration.github.io/HappyIslandDesigner/ @vague mason i use this one
@vague mason It a microsoft office app on computers
there’s also a 3D designer app if u search on google for it
Okay
anyone who can design my island in island planner? it would be based on a video i'll pay in nmt or bells
@lime vortex thats exactly what i was looking for☺️ do you happen to have the code for the dirt path you used?
@sour birch The main path is pretty famous and is called "the path" in the community. There are a few optional additions that I used for my path.
@lime vortex tysm!
Anyone know about any cottagecore, moon stone paths? I’ve been looking but can’t find any that fit with my aesthetic?
Able sisters entrance, opinions?
Able sisters entrance, opinions?

A work in progress
@woven drift hey do you have the code for the white wooden planks on the beach?
Hey guys, anyone has cool ideas for lily of the valley garden?
What can I do for the fencing for my villager gardens? I'm going for a cottagey nature vibe and I want their gardens to represent their personality but the fencing is so limited and I don't want to put hedges around everyone's garden. I wish you could customize fencing. Any ideas on what I could do instead?
@ivory lodge MA-0530-9650-9120!
@ivory lodge MA-0530-9650-9120!
@woven drift tyyy!
Behind museum area - a cafe/shop or a botanical garden thing?
Or a dig site I guess
@north schooner i think you should do the garden/cafe :o that would look super noice
So a butterfly garden cafe maybe?
Yea^^
Anyone have any entrance ideas ? With or without terraforming! I need inspiration 😦
my fish market!
@spark plover so nice and creative
I know that part of your island is laggy as hell lmao
oh nice!!
So after getting all my dreamys I’m looking to do a custom garden outside each houses! Any ideas welcome ☺️
@hollow carbon you should color coordinate the garden with each villager! for example purple flowers for like bob or Judy
@pastel zealot here is my entrance
entrance with a veryyyyy narrow path to resident services. So I did a diagonal bridge facing away from it!
@hollow carbon this is what i fid with there garden ita based on there likings
@royal matrix looks great!!
@spark plover like your fish market aswell!
tysm!
@twilit lintel i see you 👀
@north schooner behind my museum is a art gallery maze. but since yours is smaller area, probably a cafe
@twilit lintel oh man I don't have enough art for that, but that sounds amazing! do you have pics?
@granite spire lmao tf how did you even see me if i posted after you.
You know what I might put a butterfly garden on the other side of my island by the actual gardens and put like a curio shop behind the museum...
@north schooner
@spark plover i love your fish market 
@twilit lintel saw you typing!
ty! 🥺
Any good island planners? The 3d and 2d ones ive found are not that good and im also not sure what kind of theme i want on my island if anyone knows anything about that.
oh yeah, I definitely don't have enough room for that - holy crap. that's awesome though!!
@north schooner how is your pathing going
omg that gif scared me
Anyone know or have a court room layout?
my museum entrance! any tips on what i could make in the area to the side? also added some edits in the sky to make it look pretty lol
waaaaaaaaaaaah
does anyone have a nice out door garden to show that uses the potted plants?
What do you think of my campsite!! 🙂🙂
love how wild it looks 
Thank you!
Lovely and overgrown
👀 makes me wanna add more weeds to my campsite
Thank you! It means a lot!
Tweaked my entrance a bit
Omg more pictures pls!!!
Very nice, the custom paths add a lot to it, it looks so good!
@spice river I've not done much of my island yet but my able sisters is just above

@spice river here's my nooksl shop bit https://twitter.com/Mallow_AC/status/1278024972783382531?s=09
Thank you all so much for the positive feedback I didn't expect so much and now I'm super happy
Y'all make me wanna finish my island
omg beautiful thank you for posting that for me!!!
I can open my island up at any time if it helps, bit it's only a bit done so far
i feel so lost on what to do with my island, like idk where to even begin
Hi guys! Anyone think I should completely bulldoze my island and empty it all or just start remodelling now?
what are the best map layouts? like in your guys’ opinions
this is my island once i reset and idk if i like it or not
i like that layout tbh. i'd want a longer dock tho
Hi guys! Anyone think I should completely bulldoze my island and empty it all or just start remodelling now?
@vague mason suggestions? Also I like your layout @uncut field
L@vague mason I did lol dunno if it's good or bad yet
I have so much extra space on my island. Does anyone have any ideas for what to do?
i'm having the same problem @stable ermine
I’d make like a coffee bar or a trading area where the little wooden dock is on the beach?
I need to fill this with flowers now im terrible when it comes to putting down flowers nicely and coloured do ppl have suggestions? (Thiugh there was a guide layout but not sure)
What are some good things to put infront of cliffs to mask them other than a silo or simple panel???
stalls
I need to fill this with flowers now im terrible when it comes to putting down flowers nicely and coloured do ppl have suggestions? (Thiugh there was a guide layout but not sure)
@granite spire What’s the colour of your airlines?
Has anyone created like a pub or tavern i can get inspired from?
@vague mason green
more natural themed ideally. Its to mask some pillars to jump over
Ok, then I’d do green white and pink mums
Will try thnx!
Np!
Long shot but does anyone have pics of a villagers house (like eriks) next to a campite tryna make a yt vid of me revamping my island just dont know how to layout a house and a campsite next to eachother to compliment one another
This is the pillar I want to cover with something. Any ideas would be great!!
@icy flint sadly I don't have a picture to go with it since I didn't put any houses near my campsite, but a smol thing I can recommend would be maybe a sleeping bag and the cook fire thingy near the campsite and then a small pathway leading from that to Erics house, and near erics house would be a bon fire, wild log bench, natural tables and chairs, a thing to hang clothes from and maybe even a well (so it looks like his house is a log cabin)
hopefully that'll work?
@spark dune thank you!!!
@sudden basalt I think even a large statue would be able to cover that but besides that I'm not sure ;- ;
more mum cushions 
@viral breach bad pic forgot to take a pic with all the stuff out, but thats what i did with the old one campsite and was aiming to do the same just trying to add more space to the island for more things to add, but extremely helpful ty!
ill try to give more updated pics just had to wait until my campsite moved so i dont have to worry about it being in my way!
I love progress pics, keep up the work my guy ^^
https://twitter.com/Mallow_AC/status/1278028901382385664?s=09 Rodney isnt always the friendliest to the campers 😫
Rodney doesnt always like the campers #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/OARci8UIv4
@viral breach will do ill get on after im done cooking up lunch and try to do some work on it lol
looking for some inspiration for my museum entrance
Look at my mini dump area hahaha
@woven drift if you have enough space in the app you could add a wood border, i think itll really help the look
@woven drift i love it!!!!!try using some subtle floral patterns in the grass area! Would really pull it all together nicely 😍
Gave Beau his own plant shop. I was inspired by a couple of different plant shops on reddit/insta.
can you guys help me what is wrong here 😔
Walk up to the cliffside
I tried that too :((
@white bronze maybe askin #glitches-archived cause I know other people have had this problem
okay thank you 🙂
May i come to someone island for inspo? i’m looking for a cottagecore plaza type vibe ykyk i’ll pay bells or nmt to come dm me!
@pseudo geode #furniture-trade please.
This is a showcase channel.
can i see people nooks and ables pls:))
I'm making a food court thing and if anyone has ideas they would be very much appreciated :))
@spark dune my bad asked there and in questions for ignored
@pseudo geode if you got ignored it most likely means that the people there dont know the answer to your question
@pseudo geode I understand, but these are not marketplace channels.
@lofty sky shaved ice handy cooler
@lofty sky this was the very start of the food court that I was designing -- but I ended up demolishing it. But I loved the food stand designs
Rodney seems to be a bit evil, I wondered where the campers went, sorry if this is a bit too much dark humour
@paper path
@pseudo geode @woven drift thanks sm
I'm going to be moving the house in front of my nooks just realized how bad it looks there
Can anyone show me any examples on how to organize villager houses? I want them alligned in a spot, so any reference would be nice ^^
I asked this last night, but I figured I'd ask again since there's a new group of people on! What theme did you choose for your island and why? I'm finding it so interesting to hear about the different stories behind theme decisions!
Meanwhile, I'm working on my island entrance again. Pics to come eventuallyyyyy
Here's outside my ables! @paper path
@sage fable mostly forestry/rural just with a little marketplace
@sage fable I wanted a white theme but make it super elegant and rich and maybe some Italy vibes
I just seen some cottage core stuff but I wanted to expand on it in a form that instead of nature I wanted it to look somewhat more advanced
Here's outside my ables! @paper path
@reef cove i wanted to do something similar i always thought an outside cafe would be so cute
@sage fable id say I have an urban/foresty/ Harry Potter themed island that is super symmetrical haha
@sage fable my island is centered around “themes of nature”! Different sections are designed with different nature aspects. For example, so far I have a rural/rustic train area, and a moonlit fairy garden area!
@hybrid trellis I love that! Why Italy? Do you live there/want to go there/just like it a lot?
The store is right at my entrance, i thought the cafe was a nice waiting area for visitors 😊
@royal matrix the battle to go for symmetry versus a natural sprawling layout has been so rough for me
@sage fable i want to challenge myself I see a lot of different places inspired in people's islands and I want to see if I could give off such a nice effect. To make visiting my island almost feel like a vacation
@sage fable my theme is very pink and fairy-like, honestly i’m not sure why i chose it because that could not be further from how i am in real life but i guess i use animal crossing as an escape from reality!
Anyone hv a library that I can see for inspiration?!
Looking for some hidden museum entrance design!
@cold meteor I love that! I'm considering adding some railroad tracks to mine
@sage fable same! Don’t get me wrong some parts I just sucked up my mild OCD and let the terraforming take me hahaha
looking for someone with a rural/foresty/cottage core kinda island, can i see your layout on maps and like whats where and stuff bc im lost
I asked this last night, but I figured I'd ask again since there's a new group of people on! What theme did you choose for your island and why?
@sage fable
In my case I just ho for " base floor wood, second floor stone, 3rd floor iron
can anyone send inspo for little hills that have waterfalls??
I’m thinking about making a cozy outside cat café/coffee shop combined with a library. I could have a cat tower and a pet bed. I’m just worrying it will be too cluttered and too much happening at once, any thoughts? :)
@foggy river Same! I have two accounts/houses on my island- one that dresses in all black and has long black hair (much close to me irl) and one that has cropped teal hair and dresses in funky colors (which is a distant fantasy me)
@ocean igloo it probably just depends on how much space ur using !
@sage fable i love that! the best of both worlds
Oh yeah, that is true. I got some inspiration from this:
A similar style probably but with some variation and a cat theme.
love.
I’m looking for ideas for my rocks around my island! My island is more tropical themed 😊
Doing an island tour! Some very nice people on this site let me tour their island and get inspiration that led me to my 5 star island so I am paying it forward! DM me if you’d like to join 💗✨
a little picnic area! any items that you think would look good in the empty spaces?
I made a cherry walkway to my house. It's crunchy
@eager burrow i love it
Welcome to devil island
@fallen trail VIBES
that looks hella cool
I made my campsite close to my beach. Any ideas to make it look better?
Cool
How can I make my campsite exciting
@foggy river hyacinth lamps!
@astral rock kettle bathtub is always exciting. Small eating area!
@foggy river good idea!
idk what to do w this area )): pls help!!
@wet ore Since it’s close to the beach.. you could try adding palm trees & sand, some flowers here and there!
@dry ibex maybe you could add some flowers in the grassy parts
@dry ibex maybe put some shrubs there, mixed with flowers
@dry ibex Maybe a pond with flowers in the grass part to the bottom left?
Anyone have a community garden layout? Mine is really bad
tysm guyss ((:
anyone have a diner? i’d love to see!!
I want to make a grand entrance like a lot of other islands already have and I want to make it a bit water heavy
Although
The entrance to the residential area and the entrance from the airport are out of line and just so close to each other.
Any ideas on how to make this look nicer?
@foggy river This is my diner 😊💕
@mighty viper ahh i love it!! mines pretty similar
My characters outfit doesn't fit the setting, but just imagine it does 😄
a little picnic area! any items that you think would look good in the empty spaces?
@foggy river peach surprise box. White tulip surprise box, white mum cushion
@mighty viper that’s honestly one of the best diners I’ve seen, love the hedge fence
WIP Dottys radioactive Area + Fashion conspiracy labour
blue & white go so well together. i love that josi 
@cyan arch thank you so much 🥺 Lol I’ve never shown anyone except people that visit
I just thought of making a rock climbing wall that goes as high as the 4th level
Tyy ❤️
@woven drift thank you, all very good ideas!!
and will just make a story saying none has gotten to the 4th level before
@woven drift thank you, all very good ideas!!
@foggy river any time 💗
@mighty viper np, haha, it’s really good
@mighty viper That's a good idea! I switched out the trees.
Thxdoes some one habe a nice fruit design
I made my campsite close to my beach. Any ideas to make it look better?
@Athena96#7155
alright the curio area is a bust lmao - help 😖
secret bell tree grotto intersecting to the secret residential village

i went for the pink theme too! opinions on the cooperation of the beach, does it take away from the diner feel?
@wet ore
@woven drift more greenery - bushes, trees, and even mush logs would be gorgeous
any ideas for my curio thing? Maybe I should make it into a dig site after all :/
@foggy river I personally don’t think it takes away from the diner feel! But maybe to make it blend better, put some palm trees next to the diner? I don’t know how well that would look, but it’s an idea haha
@cyan arch thank you i will definitely try that out and see how it looks!
My entrance 💕
what are these fences called?
@slim plinth
it's an imperial fence
Ideas for this top tier part on the back right part of my island villagers can’t get there can’t make another incline
thanks
@pseudo geode if you’re into the space stuff, you could make a space park kinda thing. Or, I know this is boring, but maybe just make a Forest with a dig site, and maybe have your rock garden there?
@pseudo geode a statue garden would be amazing there
@pseudo geode is there a reason you want to keep it three tiers? I'd just level it if it were me, but then again I'm lazy and don't like to have to use a ladder lol
Anyone have inspiration for an Italian restaurant
@stuck trail that’s a thought I just hadn’t thought of it
@hybrid trellis ugh lemme know if you find any I’d love one
@pseudo geode I mean you could keep bits of the third to use as hills with trees/shrubs on them but I'd put your main area (whatever you decide to make) on the second level for convenience sake
@pseudo geode I mean you could keep bits of the third to use as hills with trees/shrubs on them but I'd put your main area (whatever you decide to make) on the second level for convenience sake
@bratty.alani#4253 i Obie it’s asking a lot but I’d love to see an example of what you mean by that
@pseudo geode I'll tag you when I finish mine too
In case anyone needs any inspiration, these are some of my island pictures 💕 SORRY FOR THE SPAM
@pseudo geode this isn't my pic and it's an entrance, but hopefully the small terraformed areas help demonstrate how you could use hills in that area to add visual interest!
Can I get some opinions? Constructing the outside of my villager yards. Black street lamps or blossom lanterns?
@lunar schooner what kind of ~theme~ are you going for
@mighty viper once again, that statue garden is one of the best I’ve seen haha
I’m looking for Egyptian area to take inspiration from!
Fellas. I'm confused by ponds / riverp lacement. Trying to make a pond for fish purposes. Any advice?
@lunar schooner personally the black street lamps match with the lattice fence better than the cherry blossom lamp/lattice fence combo
Yeah, I like the black street lamps better as well @lunar schooner
looking for inspiration on what to do with fangs yard and muffy if anyone has them on their island
Need some advice on what type of path to add where my character is standing. The path leads to my nooks store.
thanks guys
how did you make the trees? :)
@woven drift personally I'd continue with the terracotta. for consistency sake but also bc terracotta is beautiful (':
@woeful ravine there hacked
ohh
how did you make the trees? :)
@woeful ravine I got them from a guy who hacked them. I duped with mailbox glitch when it was still available
:^) here's my island layout and my marketplace
@woven drift yeah, I agree to stick with the terracotta path. Really like the entrance so far btw
Part of the entrance. I've had this same design for awhile and I'm getting a little tired of it 😪
My entrance so far
does anyone have any ideas on how to decorate this place? i'm gonna change the flowers so just ignore them haha
does anyone have any ideas on how to decorate this place? i'm gonna change the flowers so just ignore them haha
@woeful ravine are you putting a fountain in the middle?
hello! I was wondering if i can see anyone's island entrances. I've been stumped on how to do mine
I really like it, but if you’re getting tired of it, you should definitely change it @woven drift
This is my cute little fair place for anyone wondering! Lol
@mighty dirge Heres mine? If this is the theme you want
I need help, I’m trying to make a rock garden but I’m still confused as to where I put the mannequins
are you putting a fountain in the middle?
@woven drift i don't think so, i think if i did it would get rlly tight
@woeful ravine hm... trying to think of statues or accent pieces that would compliment that area well..
@woeful ravine I'd showcase a statue and hedges and hedge fences
@hybrid trellis yesss
Molly's house :,,,)
@frozen gate it’s mannequin then skip two blocks then another mannequin.
i already added a hedge fence :)
@woeful ravine definitely put some statues, but maybe put some more trees and shrubs in there? Maybe a few street lamps as well
good idea!
wish i could make a cool entrance but my town hall is too close to my airport T_T
wait i have a question 🥺 the flowers in my shrubs aren't blooming, what do i do?? should i water them?
Entrance idea for those who have the airport right in front of the plaza 😅HAHAH
@woeful ravine are they fully mature? mature bushes only bloom when they're in season - right now only hydrangea are blooming
p I c n I c :^))
Anyone good at island designs could come to my island and help me out?
they are mature, maybe they aren't in season then
Update now I terraformed and will get rid of flowers thinking hedge garden? Possibly any better ideas now that it’s flat
I had to go for a simpler entrance cause my town hall, I improved it a bit since I last posted a pic of it
Lol, my entrance is literally just flowers, @wispy storm it looks literally amazing
the thing is i feel like its too close for anything other than maybe some statues
@wispy storm that’s a really great entrance
i have too many flowers so whoever wants some they are for free!
Hey guys, so i'm finally getting to making my island how i want it and im looking for some layout inspo if anyone could help!!
If anyone has art hedge garden ideas please dm me or post
@icy flint yeah, put a statue or two. Street lamps might look good in that area as well
@cyan arch once redd comes to my island ill be sure to buy some statues if he finally has any (6 times and no statue)
@signal mural What parts are you thinking about adding? Maybe I have a bit of what you're looking for :^)
@tiny cloak I have no idea. I wanna like redo everything ( which isn't much) but like add an entrance, maybe a park, dining area, relocate villagers, I'm just not very creative so I'm having a hard time figuring out where to put everything
@signal mural What I did first--think of your theme. What did you get most inspired of? :>
also this is my zen garden (waiting for genji or someone similar to come) is it too big?
@signal mural is there one idea you have in mind that you know you want in a certain area? like if you know for sure you want your shops to be by your resident services (just an example), my advice would be just start there and slowly work your way out. as you finish one area it becomes easier to visualize what would look good next to it, if that makes sense
@tiny cloak Defnitely want a cute town kinda look. Lots of brick pathways and such
Need some help on Beau’s yard, unsure if I should change the fencing for stakes
I went through the trouble of building a secret waterfall entrance but idk what to put in my secret area.
@stuck trail thank you so much!!
@tired badge a secret gnome cove where they feast and hide their treasure! haha jk (maybe...
) does your island have a theme?
@fair plinth omg I used the exact same flower palette in my campsite haha! its gorgeous combined with those lanterns!
Thanks! @woven drift
@stuck trail that’s a cute idea! I love the gnomes. No not really a theme
@stuck trail if you ever need any made I can make them at no charge if you have the petals
My space installation in progress.
\
@fair plinth I think I already have some lanterns in storage actually but tysm for the super sweet offer!
Np, offer goes out to anyone
Speaking of gnome coves, here's an idea, make a secret entryway to a secret beach if anyone likes it lol
Blossom-viewing lantern @woven drift
Just completed my overgrown Dino park thing. Any tips on anything to add or remove?
Needs 6 cherry blossom petals and 4 hardwood
really wish i can buy some of yall so you can just help me with my island
like 3/4s is plain and then on the top is kinda more terraforming involved but still seeing that map makes mine looks flat lmao
@cyan arch I really love that area! I kinda want to do a fossil area but it doesn’t really fit my theme 😅
@woven drift I love your entrance!
@woven drift I always say the same thing when I think of/see something I want to do that doesn't quite fit my theme, but sometimes it's fun to have little miscellaneous treasure spots of an idea. 🙂
@woven drift thank you! What theme do you have on your island?
Can someone tell me what size plot you think this is please
@cyan arch I have a mountain/natural theme... I could probably make something work but I probably don’t have enough room. Now thinking about it, I could make it very naturally and overgrown
I added THE path to my town and i like it a lot more than I thought I would....
@hollow carbon i wanna say with the house its a 3 by 4 and with the side yard probably an additonal 5 spaces
Thankyou!
@manic eagle It is difficult to dislike The Path 🤣 particularly if you have a more naturally-themed island
yess haha it goes so well with everything
i wanna say in total size probably around like a 5 by 11? could be wrong but it seems around those numbers
@woven drift I love those themes! I really wish I had a theme on my island haha, it’s kinda all over the place
Someone should use this and let me see 😌 Or if they already have it! Would be neat to see in a graveyard scenery!
I lost inspiration on my whole island if some one has a cozy vibe island could some on let me vist ty:D
@mighty viper I love that pattern and it would look so good in my graveyard but I haven't a slot to spare for the design 😭
I really dont understand why we dont get more design slots...
I wish the pro design slots weren't a separate thing. my normal slots are full but I only have like.. 3 pro designs total?? it feels so wasted 
Wip old garden on the beach, any ideas? Was thinking of putting a stall and a custom design soil bag :^)
yesss same, I dont even use the pro designs... I think the ingame outfits look much cuter most of the time 
@tiny cloak those sound like great ideas! I love the little soil bags, so cute 💕
Not fancy but my buffet place for villagers
@manic eagle i wish we can trade out pros and regular desings 
WIP Fashion conspiracy Labour
So, this good? I think it looks pretty nice in my opinion
i gave up on my island lol
Flower market
for poops and gigs ima use my 100 nmt to look for stitches and knowing me ima get raymond so ima prob try to give him away
@lethal wing I did that too, got half depressed after watching island tours xD
Now i have a whole lot of new inspiration and building my island and I've never been happier with it! So take some time, look around and just take the time to build something you're happy with, you don't have to rush!
yeah but then you see what you need to get for those items or what you need to craft them and then you get depressed again
Im taking it step by step, decorating is the last thing ill do because you can always add an item, im terraforming first, then place some paths and do the housing
Also.. The game keeps on getting updates so you'll probably never be done decorating
...just wait til they release new buildings in an update.... 
@plucky grove yeah thats what im doing but then i keep ddoubting myself with the terrafroming one moment i like it then another moment i hate it and then i spend more time terraforming
@stuck trail the nook cranny needs a 2nd floor thats what im saying
I know the feeling too damn well, just keep on trying and watching things for inspiration, it is your island at the end and you have to be happy with it, and again, you dont need to hurry
Do you have a kind of theme you're going for @icy flint ?
Anyone here have any ideas or inspiration for a museum cafe garden? I'm trying to build it but when I think of an idea and do it it just doesn't sit right with me.
not really i have like a small zen garden for when i can get kabuki or genji and as i get more dream villagers i try to make a small portion of my island for them
please help Idk what to put in this empty awkward space 
for Tia's place i made a small outdoor cafe such some themes but not one major island theme
that would be a good spot for some trees with how much nature stuff you got going on @manic eagle
I think having a kind of theme or direction you want to go with on your island can really help
@elder current i have an outdoor library/cafe area to the side of my museum if that helps!
when your island has no theme and looks like an absolute mess lol
@soft plaza truee! I might make a little sitting area between some trees
Like dont have a real theme i'm going with but i want to keep it natural and that helps me
does anyone have any ideas for raymond’s yard?
in my defense my island is like a rainbow with numerous themes - words said by my little sis
@storm bluff Thank you so much! I appreciate it! I'll definitely use some of your ideas. I appreciate your insight. Sometimes I feel like I lack creativity or inspiration.
im gonna start my island over, how would i get a blank canvas? i have no room on the beach to put any buildings/houses on
Work in parts @tame crow
@elder current would love to see photos of your final space! i tend to lack creativity too but it's relatively easy to just pick everything up and rearrange it all again, so dont give up! just keep trying until you find something you like
If you have an idea of your end goal just work it out in parts and in the end everything comes together @tame crow
i feel like a scum for day skipping but im not trying to wait 2 days to move 2 buildings
Time travelling is okay, theres no harm in it
@plucky grove wheres a good place to put my shops tho, so it wont get in the way
storage always works
does anyone have a tutorial to make a cool park inside a pond
Same, i'm time traveling when building my island and after that i dont
If anyone has an idea of what size plot they think this is please let me know 🙂
i think its 7 by 8 or 8 by 8
@weary ibex looks like 8x8 (including fence) to me
Depends on where you start terraforming etc.. Personally i'm starting in the back so i have my shops in the front of my island for quick reach.
Another idea is knowing where you want to place them and finish that spot ASAP so you can place them on their final location already @tame crow
ohh so like move it the the opposite way of where you are working on stuff?
Yup!
tryna add my penguin flip a theme but its hard since all the ice stuff is in the winter and im not tryna time skip that far
you can always just trade or buy them from the trading channels
i asked a few people and they were high balling around 50+ and im saving my nmt for rare villagers
@icy flint if it matches their house you could do white/blue flowers to make it seem more wintery maybe. also consider their personality, if your penguin is a jock get some workout equipment, if they're peppy maybe they could have a little fashion or music area. the seasonal stuff can come later
@storm bluff I definitely will! Thanks for the advice!
@icy flint could you decorate based on their house exterior/hobbies in the meantime? just until you can get the frozen items
sorry i pressed the button in mistake ;-;
Bruh
im really sorry ;-;
i started to breed flowers to try to do that, and thats a good idea on getting stuff and what they like thank you for the advice
does anyone have any pink items that i could buy for my island?
Man i'm trying my hardest to get the blue pansys but i can't get them to work 😆
@past halo try asking in #furniture-trade
okay ty
What are we saying about yellow and pink flowers for the sides of my wedding display?(WIP)
@coral shale looks awesome so far! have you ever thought to use pink roses to match the arch?
Omgggg smart 😂 that’s a great idea
perhaps use white instead of yellow as it would match the white portions of the arch and seats
Yeah, I thought about that, but idk I quite like the yellow 😊
dips on flower boy
@coral shale another option might be to customize the arch... the "garden" version has yellow flowers on it 
Ohh truee! On it.
@rapid ore sorry for the late reply but thank you so much!!
does anyone know where I might find pics of the different lengths of the suspension bridge?
eta I just realized I can literally just use the "imagine" feature and take a screenshot lol sorry I'm dumb 😂
Could anyone PM me if they are good at designing and could come help me with my layout of my little neighbourhood? I could pay for your time❤️
idk what to put here any ideas im thinking cafe but i need refrance
hope this helps!
Anyone else experimented with diagonal shots of their island? Would love to see what others came up with!
Just started decorating Able's, any suggestion for flooring or more decoration ideas are welcome 
looking for ables and nooks ideas, my theme is cottagecore/natural
@paper path this is what I have for my nooks,ables and entrace
for now i just added a small bench and flowers to make it stand out
My nooks/Ables really isn't designed much (don't mind the diys lol)
What else should I put in my playground area?
my island is so sad compared to these- lol i gotta step up my game

@atomic quest oml that's too cute
CUTEEEE @gilded nacelle
critique my wedding area please
Found this for anyone who has no idea what to do with your fountain like me!
Need a bit of inspiration guys! Going to pummel my place down tommorow and need some ideas for how to lay out the houses. Can some of you post your island maps?
decided to get off of my lazy bum and start finishing my island
Bam's place. It makes me so happy when he plays with the balls
struggling with making my island help pls lol
I am not sure if I like this little sitting area, please lmk what I can do better
Maybe add some more white flowers!
@manic eagle Looks really cure, if you want to add more wild, add weeds, they dont actually lower your rating
yeh what that duck said lmao
where do you think I should put the flowers? yeah true, I should get some more weeds :) ty!!
Maybe in front of the fences and next to the tree?
@manic eagle if it was me, I would try adding one or two more flowers in front of the fence and then maybe scatter some baby flower patterns around in front of the sitting area
Thinking about relocating my nook shop, not sure where tho
got my older bros recording device and i cannot wait to make vids of my before and afters
@manic eagle Just scatter them around personally! I think it looks more natural!
tysm, I will try that! I wish I was better at scattering things randomly but I accidentally make everything straight haha
Honestly mood
has anyone done like a forest/fairycore tea party using the wedding tables? Looking for inspo
@manic eagle Our brains are actually not very good with producing true randomness as our natural tendency is to look for patterns! I think that's why natural islands (truly natural looking ones) are difficult to produce 😭
my ocd kills me if anythings not having a patern
for poops and gigs ima use my 100 nmt to look for stitches and knowing me ima get raymond so ima prob try to give him away
@icy flint
did you use your 100 nmt to look for stitches and get raymond and gave him away
@kindred valve I wish we could put gnomes on the wedding chairs... could put them on wooden stools around the wedding table for a magical sort of look
im like only 30 down rn haha im livestreaming it rn if you wanna see my frustration @tidal pecan
little villager housing idea next to a lake
has anyone done a carnival thing in their island? with the cotton candy machines and fecup rides?
@woeful ravine i tried to but then my adhd made me start something else so now its a storage place in the middle of my map
honestly mood
i can show you it for some inspo but its like not even half way done
Does anybody have a Fairy/cottagecore island? Ty!
Update!! I took your guys' advice
I like it a lot more now
does anyone have a good list of good island layouts??
And Judy came to sit with me 
adorable
sure! i rlly want inspo bc i only added a teacup ride on a sand path and i have no idea what to do
I feel like this is missing something.Please give tips!🥰
@woven drift I am working on a fairy/cottagecore island, but so far I've only made little areas
sofie maybe something on the table like a coffee mug or maybe a cutting board or candle
Tendou 👁️👄👁️

Any ideas for this little area? It’s near my campsite so maybe something related to that, outdoorsy 😊
can someone (anyone) send me pictures for inspiration of how their redd docking area looks? i have so much space but don't know what to decorate with ): Thanks!

Hmm. Does anyone have any ideas for this? I want my island to have an area/shop for each villager, and I'm having trouble figuring out what I want Raymond to have. Here's my list so far:
Merengue - Bakery
Ankha - Secret Cove/Redd, Quarry/Excavation Site
Audie - Surf Shop
Drago - Jasmine Dragon tea shop

@keen nymph library maybe for raymond
Give Raymond some books to sell or maybe have like an office desk with a board next to it (something buisness related)
@keen nymph ok #1 I love this concept, #2 I think raymond should have a library or computer repair shop
I agree with all of the above 
any ideas for cafe here need refrances
Is anyone willing to help me make my island 5 stars?
@lusty flicker try searching "in: island-layouts has: image cafe"
Is anyone willing to help me make my island 5 stars?
@regal storm what did you want done?
oh so my cafe isnt good enough? jk lol
I need help with my my villagers
@stuck trail idk how to do that lol
can people show me their maps? it be better if they were labelled too, or is someone able to make me a map on the happy island designer? can pay in nmt lol
Plots
kory if i didnt work ealier i wouldve but i really dont want to do that rn
thats okay lol
if somehow i get a boost of energy i most likely could but just depends on how complex your map is already
@keen nymph library maybe for raymond
@zinc jungle do something like sciency or a libray would be good
Could I get some orchid ideas? It’s a 16x13 area with 6 of each fruit tree (not including coconut and bamboo)
i can show you it rn if you want, ive started redoing my island and i just want something to follow for guidance
heres my orchard lay out (sorry for the weeds)
@paper path
i’m so sorry for asking for a lot of inspo, but can anyone show me a pic of their campsite? i haven’t added anything to it and i want to work on it :)
@versed wadi tyy
im working on mine rn you can join my island to see some inspo lay out @woeful ravine

@versed wadi hi I’m sorry to ask this but I’m curious to what a museum garden is and what does it look like?
My campsite is mad basic
and now i got that motivation boost
@brave barn it’s just a little park that i have my museum set up in
looking for a cottage core themed beach bar/area
Hoenn’s third-tier farm aka the honey farm
So many islands look like pure aesthetic. 
@versed wadi that’s pretty cool I like it

Could anyone show how they decorsted their able sisters shoo? And noons cranny i need some inspiration ❤️
@cerulean scroll yes! Nooks!
stitches is so cute! he’s my favourite villager 🥺
i just got stitches like 30mins ago haha
he's babeyy
@cerulean scroll i put a small plant shop between my shops
Idk what i should do keep with the shops seperated or stick them together
@cerulean scroll My ables sisters
i got him in the middle of june (16? 17?) and he’s so babies
The only good part abt my island
would it be weird for me to put different sized bears in his backyard for his theme?
Something I’ve done is put my nook’s cranny and Able Sister’s next to each other on the same stretch of path cause when I started, I originally wanted to make a beach boardwalk of shops on my island
can anyone with a residential area on their island show what theirs looks like?
@cerulean scroll My Nook's Cranny
what’s a residential area?
dedicated section where your villagers live
@woeful ravine the villager neighborhood basically
ohh okay
can someone tell me if this is nice
@gilded widget
that's so pretty!
@woven drift I think it looks really good
Stitches house is complete! Well almost c:
need a paper tiger as Tigger xD
It’s there lol
@cyan arch thank uuuuu
It’s behind the table tho I need to put a stool Haha
ohh haha so accurate
@soft plaza I really like your residential area layout...do you mind sharing your map layout as well?
hey kyri i've got a paper tiger i could give you
@quasi ore
you're nuts, and that's nuts
I just finished working on a graveyard for my island
Thanks so much!
I’d love to tour someone’s island if they wouldn’t mind. Love seeing new islands and their villagers
Just finished an orchard. Not exactly sizeable but it's aesthetic
@median wasp oh no sorry, that remark was for the winnie the pooh themed party xD thank you tho!
@late vine once im done with my campsite you can come and visit (still messy from moving things and relocating)
My island has tooooons of empty space, but I love my villagers.
@soft plaza hi! What’s the code for the circular stones in that video of your island?
@gilded widget here are my villager yards! there's a map at top left for placement reference
I got my first lilly of the valley, woooooo
Can I get some plaza inspiration please
I have a bunch of empty space that I don’t know what to do with any ideas?
Turnip storage, flower breeding, orchards?
Thank you’
@jaunty stone what do you already have on your island that you dont want to repeat? and do you have some sort of theme or overall vibe to your island?
@jaunty stone if in doubt slap a forrest into that empty spot, you could also make it a temporary flower breeding area until you have an idea on what to make it into
@teal edge have you tried searching "in: island-layouts has: image resident services" to see past photos?
@chilly sparrow there are a few past photos you can reference if you search "in: island-layouts has: image turnips"
my island layout for inspo if you want me to tell you where everything is ill be glad to explain
does anyone know where i can get patterns for custom paths?
@woeful ravine you can find them in #path-codes !
thank you!
@storm bluff that was my suggestion for him I meant. You can make a functional area look aesthetic with creativity
@chilly sparrow oops sorry! didnt know you were answering someones question, just though you were looking for photos
But the caveat is, to make orchards look good you have to space the trees out a bit more so it might not be the most efficient layout
This my museum so far I’m gonna add flowers on top but does it look good?
anyone have tips on making rivers look natural?
Add more bends
Does this look ok?? Like can you tell what I was trying to go for with the moon pieces??idk if it looks weird or not
lots of curves and add small island here and there to make it look like it eroded the land
ive been reading the chat for 5 mins and keep walking in and out of my house forgetting to craft stuff
And also need the river source at least 1 cliff up since the height difference is the driving force of flow
@pulsar leaf this is a good guide to reference for natural terraforming https://twitter.com/eggotchi/status/1250278044842917888?s=20
Also to make the river look more natural try to make it end in a delta or into separate multiple ponds
I’m looking for beach wedding inspiration
yeah my rivers pretty much all connect
@storm bluff thank you
Does anyone have any japanese (oriental esque) designs for their housing area?
poll: do you 🅰️ mix your bamboo in with other trees or 🅱️ keep it separate in its own area?
finished muffy’s house yesterday!! she’s a lil gothic fashion queen, i love how overgrown flowers look & i love her sm :~)
What About my remodeled entrance?
@light hemlock if you search for japanese themed island tours on youtube i think you can find some good examples
i need some opnions
my front yard, loosely based on Harv's island--tried to keep it kind of rustic
here's what's to the right
@storm mist looks awesome! to me the piece of land with the yellow mum on it seems out of place though, like it's just sticking out of the pathway. but otherwise good job! are you going to decorate the top of the waterfalls?
@storm mist following what may said, maybe put like a tall garden rock there instead?
Watcha guys think? (Ignore the flowers on the right) need to add rocks nova light and spike logs still but i woll do that when i placed all the flowers just wnna know if it looks good
@storm bluff and @wraith pike yes! i will put something in the top of the waterfalls, but i don't know what yet... thinking about that... and you think a garden rock would be more nice then the yellow flower? or maybe i should just remove that?
actually you know what might help, is if you make the path a little bit more angular and put the yellow mum on an island
@storm mist id personally either remove it completely or make the path 2 squares wide to match the airport ramp! up to you. you can always put more flowers up on the cliffs and maybe a few light sources?
^ i agree with this--either making the path two squares wide, or, if you like that it's one square when you enter and exit it, let it kind of widen in the middle and curve it
the problem with the yellow mum square imo is that, because it's just a straight square, it looks like kind of an odd protrusion. it would look better if it were more natural.
yes! i put there to looks more natural @wraith pike , but i think if failed hahah
My villagers yard.. Nothing much but i kinda like it
i'd like to add that the entrance, as it stands, is really gorgeous. @storm mist you did a really great job. this is a super minor detail.
@storm bluff i will try make the path with 2 squares, maybe will look better then now,
i actualy want that path not look "too right" to looks more natural
finished product of my campsite!
the before picture (sorry for not having more pics)
ofc im waiting for leif to come so i can get some bushes and waiting for certain hybrids to breed
My whole entrance complete! Also inspo from acnhblush from twitter v:
Does the placement of the streetlamps look weird or does it look alright?
wheres lettuce needa show him this finished product
Who’s lettuce? Lol
was on her earlier and he gave me the inspo from his campsite
now since im done with my campsite idk what to do now
@viral breach nyack wants to show you his product lol
Anyone have ideas to make this look better? I need help:(
@twilit lintel ty lol
@icy flint i knew who you meant lmao
@twilit lintel watcha think? (Ignore the rjght flowers there dunno what to do with them so i plant them there) this is the path i showed ealyer to redds beach
thats a ton of flowers lol @granite spire but its supposed to be right?
Well its flower cliff haha
I forgot to ask before but what do ppl think of this Winnie the Pooh inspired area for stiches?
Inspo 🥰
Thats so cute
@twilit lintel yes when every flower is in there i will remove some and add rocks and nova lights some spike logs and some hyachith will be replaced my the lamp
@granite spire it should look okay. its hard to tell from the top view. but the bottom should look fine
@twilit lintel on the bottomg you see a little lea flowers 😂
it looks good in my opinion @granite spire
Cool thnx wasnt sure with the flower overlap to diffrent color 🙂
Lmao I’ve been playing for 200 hours already and i still havent terraformed shit :(( I’m so bad at it
@light hemlock oriental exterior
can someone give me ideas for my island entrance? thanks!
@fierce vector it takes time. dont stress too much
I made a 3rd character for the tent 
Does this look good for my fountain area 🥺
@granite spire Hey, do you have the design Code for the brick path? Looks super cute c:
@tropic rover i think the hedges are a placed a bit awkwardly. something about it is off in my opinion. heres my fountain set up.
Wow that's nice
@tropic rover i think the hedges are a placed a bit awkwardly. something about it is off in my opinion. heres my fountain set up.

I got the idea from this New Leaf town to hide creepy dolls with axes in various places 
hidden behind town hall
guys can anyone help me?? my island is rlly simple ad it doesn’t have any terraforming so i need some help with that
@tropic rover how about when you enter your amp its a modern look but then as you go deeper in it turns into a forest like you want it
@woeful ravine what do you need
@woeful ravine like what about it that you need help with? whats your theme? what area are you working on?
Oh @icy flint can I visit your town?
@viral crater one of my cousins gathered a bunch of dolls in a circle (in the forest) like a lil cult meeting LOL

Hi everyone! What do you guys use to block the bottom half of a simple panel if you only want the top to show? I have a couple in a row and want whatever blocks them to look as seamless as possible.
I’m slowly working on terraforming my island— I have this empty space above my shops area and i don’t know if I want to put the museum there or not. I also might want to connect or at least extend the cliffs? What are you’re ideas?
Playa blanca! (White beach)
does anyone have a good example of how they've used termite mounds?
My starlight beach! (I was gonna add nova lights but I do not have the diy 😗😗)
Maples house

Petition to be able to put things on RS plaza 🥺

Apollo's garage! Should I keep the fencing wrapped around the turntable or does it look weird? Should I use a different music player?
petition for more than 8 bridges and 8 inclines
anybody got design ideas for the shops?
can someone help me decide if i should have this black flower path or nah? i’ve always wanted a black flower edge for my paths but idk how i feel about this one
I can’t show you a pic but I did 3 mountain bikes some barrels and cardboard boxes @hazy garden
can someone help me decide if i should have this black flower path or nah? i’ve always wanted a black flower edge for my paths but idk how i feel about this one
@bleak pier i think that one looks super nice, i didnt know how i'd feel about it until i saw it
@hazy garden put a loom with one of sabels fabrics on it and some custom mannequins
@hybrid trellis its the only black flower path thingie i could find, i feel like it’s too busy in the middle w all the leaves but idk
how do you guys get the screenshots? i’m tired of taking pics of my switch 😬
looking for a cottage core themed beach. I’m pretty stumped and not sure what to do.
Hot spring in my bamboo forest
||#glitches-archived pins for how to put trees on cliffs||
how on twitter?
Link your twitter account to switch and then go to gallery pic post and then choose the twitter option and then upload then go to twitter and save from holding it down
@hybrid trellis its the only black flower path thingie i could find, i feel like it’s too busy in the middle w all the leaves but idk
@bleak pier it would look better without the leaves its a shame thats the only one. i'll see if i can find something
I made a side twitter account for my switch uploads, it's convenient because the upload is super fast
@hybrid trellis bruh black flower stuff and designs is so rare, i demand justice for goth bitches
Though when I'm home I use my computer's screenshot because I play on a capture card 
Any ideas to make it look better? I’m struggling😔
@cloud wagon floorlights!
I heard @icy flint was lookin for me? uwu
@bleak pier if your island's theme is cottage core then maybe this works https://twitter.com/skeletontape/status/1277427937525084160?s=20
Any ideas on what to put to this area next to my museum?
Is there no way to get rid of tent mailboxes? 😭
@cloud wagon floorlights!
@vague gulch that’s a great idea!! TYY!’
the finally result to my campsite
should i remove/add anything?
What do you guys think of my campsite!
@atomic quest CRIES IN NOT HAVING ENOUGH DESIGN SLOTS
@icy flint OwO dang that progress you made was f a s t
@viscid slate I've been saying this so much haha, but I have a list of areas to put in empty spaces of your Island. If you want I could DM it to you c:
@vague gulch cuteee, but maybe less weeds? or like make them a bit less clumped together
@atomic quest CRIES IN NOT HAVING ENOUGH DESIGN SLOTS
@bleak pier haha ya, but THE path and its variations are worth it
@woven verge that would be great! Tysm!
@atomic quest my heart hurts
@viral breach thankfully i had most of the stuff so it was mainly terraforming... but now its time to eat
@icy flint oh lucky, I had to wait weeks to get the items for my diner ;- ;
@viral breach whatcha need maybe i can help?
I already finished it now but I meant when I had the idea it took me so long
but uwu thankkuu nonetheless
