@woven drift tysm!!

[woven drift]

@paper bolt thank you 🥰

[stuck trail]

We're gonna have to start calling it The Brick Path soon 🤣

[paper bolt]

you are very welcome. It looks fantastic

[granite spire]

Hahaha

The path
The brick path!

[soft plaza]

I basically have it on speed dial cause people ask for that path alot

[stuck trail]

Every time @granite spire posts there's at least one request for it. Which is understandable bc it's an amazing path but it's funny 😂

[granite spire]

You dont see my dm @stuck trail 😂

By this point i dont even ask what they want i just send them the path lol

[sage fable]

working so hard on wrapping up my entrance! just need another moon chair and maybe a barrel or smthn

[frank linden]

It’s slowly coming together. Any suggestions I’ll appreciate!

[keen nymph]

Does anyone know what the tables/stools are called? I'm not sure haha!

[fair raptor]

@keen nymph wooden mini table and wooden stool, both are DIYs

[keen nymph]

Ty @Nyatta !!!!

[lament knot]

@wheat torrent this is what I did for Raymond’s yard! Kinda like an outdoor library/study

[ornate compass]

I made a plan to decorate my island. Please give me some advice. Which part should I fix?

[warped locust]

Can I put a bridge here and have it end at resident services or is it going to tell me no?

[radiant cloud]

Can I put a bridge here and have it end at resident services or is it going to tell me no?
@warped locust For this it would just end at the space before so it wouldnt be directly in front it just one space off

[silent zodiac]

Can someone help me with ideas for a normal villager for my emo island?

[stuck trail]

@silent zodiac muffy

[silent zodiac]

i already have her on my list :/

[limber crater]

@silent zodiac annalisa?

[stuck trail]

hahaha it was a joke, I thought she scared you she's not normal anyways, how about nan?

[silent zodiac]

yea but i am desperate

[soft plaza]

Muffy is an uchi villager though, why not Coco

[silent zodiac]

@limber crater i hate the anteaters

[stuck trail]

or KIKI

[limber crater]

Kiki isn't emo enough 🗿

[flint bane]

any tips on what to decorate here?

[silent zodiac]

@stuck trail YES KIKI SHES SO CUTE Y DIDNT I THINK IF THAT BEFORE

[meager sorrel]

Working on decorating around my Stonehenge and I think I love it

[warped locust]

@radiant cloud wow! Tysm!

[silent zodiac]

@meager sorrel Omg that is beautiful 😄

[meager sorrel]

@silent zodiac tysm!!

[silent zodiac]

How do you guys like my emo villager list, Roscoe, Lucky, Marshal, Cherry, Apollo, Raymond, Dotty, Kiki, Muffy, and Sherb (I know he doesnt fit the theme but I need him!)

[limber crater]

not to be rude but why raymond

[silent zodiac]

I like him

[real relic]

hey everyone! I’m looking for enchanted forest/fairy themed inspo if anyone has any 💛

[soft plaza]

@real relic

[lament knot]

just finished Marshall’s yard! does it look too cluttered?

[stuck trail]

@soft plaza any tips on hiding speakers? which speakers did you use in that first video, you did an excellent job at disguising them 👌

[soft plaza]

@stuck trail I use lily record players and hide them with my flowers

[dawn cave]

Finished my new island plan and started terraforming the bottom areas~ (I know the map is like a square or two off on the top, i screwed up lol)

[scenic jacinth]

ooh !! that looks so amazing

[stuck trail]

@dawn cave it looks awesome! & I commend your careful placement of inclines, it can get really tricky when you have so much designed on the 2nd/3rd level

[marble elm]

heyy, can anybody gime me some ideas to decorate my island? i don´t know what else to do and i have a lot of free spaces

[dawn cave]

Thank you! I'm hoping it looks as good in game as it does in my head and isn't a complete PITA to maneuver hahaha~

[storm bluff]

@dawn cave looks great! you mixed natural areas with a structered neighborhood really well! excited to see how this looks in game~

[dawn cave]

Thank you! That was my goal (to mix natural + structured), i'm glad it's coming through in the map! 😄 ❤️

[hazy raven]

@stuck trail I use the bamboo speakers cause it's thin and hide it behind trees. Lily record player's sound quality I found wasn't good

[stuck trail]

@marble elm here's a general list of ideas from pinterest

[midnight flume]

@soft plaza Im about to give up on my island because I will never amount to your level of amazing, your island is immaculate 😭

[stuck trail]

@hazy raven thats really smart as well! the sound quality on the bamboo speakers is quite good, I never thought to hide them for some reason haha. do you find they're easier to hide with the regular green color or customized to brown?

[atomic glen]

I just finished my rainbow garden!
I’m so proud what do u guys think?

[jovial fern]

Does anyone know what items are good to decorate a railroad crossing?

[hazy raven]

@stuck trail right now I'm using green during summer cause it blends with the grass if you're not looking carefully

[soft belfry]

any idea what i can put in this small area? top left is rs, bottom right is airport entrance ❤️ advice appreciated!

[elfin slate]

I would love to see what you have done with the piece of land that extends into the water!!

[rich ivy]

anyone got recomendations on custom paths? looking for a natural looking concrete road and if possible a gray matching brick sidewalk?

[tropic abyss]

@soft plaza how did u make those tiny versions of the nova light?

[stuck trail]

@rich ivy try #custom-design-help🎨

[wispy tiger]

Can anyone send some entrance ideas?!

[rich ivy]

@rich ivy try #custom-design-help🎨
@stuck trail will do!

[tropic abyss]

@wispy tiger this is my entrance :))

[median lion]

@tropic abyss I think those are the zodiac star frags

[stuck trail]

@tropic abyss backwards star clocks (:

[limber crater]

@tropic abyss most likely star clocks but turned around so you can't see the clock portion

[tropic abyss]

@median lion no the star frags aren’t as sharp as those

Oh okay ty!

[median lion]

Ohh sorry was looking at the wrong thing

[tropic abyss]

Anyone have ideas for this area?

[wispy tiger]

@tropic abyss thanks so much!!

[tropic abyss]

@wispy tiger ofc!

[limber crater]

@tropic abyss you could add some marketplace flags, some wooden stalls and make a mini street market, add a fountain for some sophistication, shrubs, orange/red/blue flowers to match the nooks, lots of possibilities

[night tundra]

What type of light sources are there in acnh? Cuz im making a villager area rn but now that it’s night I realize theres no lighting and putting the city streetlights here will look out of place

[tropic abyss]

I like that, thank you @limber crater :))

[atomic glen]

@night tundra try floor lights

[ebon vine]

anyone have a nice garden layout to show off hybrid flowers?

[atomic glen]

@ebon vine

[tropic abyss]

@night tundra nova lights, palm tree lamps, mush lamps

[ebon vine]

ooo ty :D

[stuck trail]

@night tundra Nook Plaza has it so you can sort by "lighting" - it has all the items in the game that light up https://nookplaza.net/ granted there will be items on there that wouldn't work as lamps, but it's a comprehensive list

[twilit lintel]

What type of light sources are there in acnh? Cuz im making a villager area rn but now that it’s night I realize theres no lighting and putting the city streetlights here will look out of place
@night tundra theres street lights, floor lights, garden lanterns, paper lanterns,

[crisp finch]

Does anyone have any inspo for a spooky island? I’m trying to make mine a Halloweentown theme but I don’t even know where to start😭

[stuck trail]

@crisp finch idk if this has been done (I don't have any examples) but how about a lake shaped like a skull as one of your water features 💀

[crisp finch]

@stuck trail I was thinking either that or a pumpkin!

[ebon vine]

maybe a moon lake could work too

[woven drift]

any outside cafe ideas? (or just restaurant related in general)

[night tundra]

What are your opinions on using chopped bamboo as like a tall grass or just simplistic decoration. Ive been toying with it here but was also thinking more generally

[broken tiger]

What type of light sources are there in acnh? Cuz im making a villager area rn but now that it’s night I realize theres no lighting and putting the city streetlights here will look out of place

@night tundra are you going for a more natural theme? There's nova lights, hyacinth lamps, mush lamp, palm tree lamp

/edit; OOPS I see someone has replied you 😂

[stuck temple]

any statue park ideas?

[bitter inlet]

@night tundra it looks better when it’s chopped with the brown parts

[night tundra]

@bitter inlet wdym?

[woven drift]

also are they any ideas for pagodas? i have 2 and im super stuck on what to do with them :(

[bitter inlet]

It’s like it’s 3rd growth stage, tiny green sticks but it also has some brown still

[green forge]

What I have so far

Not sure where to put my villagers

[bitter inlet]

forced perspective with the small train, or in the background of an asian themed area... @woven drift

[soft belfry]

any idea what i can put in this small area? left is rs, bottom right is airport entrance ❤️ advice appreciated!

[woven drift]

Does anyone have a recipe for the hedge i can have please🙂

[night tundra]

@soft belfry some trees to mix it up a bit if u dont want to make a whole new area there, maybe some benches

@woven drift buy from leif 3 times and he’ll give u it

[woven drift]

Really thank u

[soft belfry]

@night tundra are you talking about the fountains thing or the empty space next to it? i have some trees and flowers on the fountain (these pictures are a bit old)

[gleaming kelp]

i thought to get the hedge recipe you had to do the nature day event

[night tundra]

@soft belfry the empty space cuz in those pics its just flowers spread out. If u have trees then put benches or chairs and a table

[storm bluff]

@gleaming kelp nature day event is over so you get it from leif now~

[night tundra]

@gleaming kelp u can also get it thru leif if u didn’t get it then

[soft belfry]

@night tundra yeah the flowers are just for breeding haha ignore them but i’ll consider getting benches

[gleaming kelp]

oooo okay thanks !:) @storm bluff @night tundra

[night tundra]

Whats the best way to use shrubbery for decoration? Should u try and blend it in or make it pop out

[soft plaza]

it really depends since shrubs only bloom for like 2-3 months at a time so blending it in would be the best choice

[glossy abyss]

A Chinese restaurant I made for my island. Realised I had so many stores but none of them resembled my own culture in any way LOL. So here it is

[midnight jasper]

does anyone have any inspo for a cottagecore/witchy themed museum entrance? getting kinda stuck over here ://

[languid bridge]

What should I add here someone pls help 🥺

[storm bluff]

@midnight jasper have you tried searching up island tours on youtube? theyre super helpful

[midnight jasper]

@storm bluff i have but usually if i watch full island tours i get really discouraged-- i've been trying to stay positive about it tho ^^

[olive thistle]

Find the part of the island you like the most and put your own twist on it?

[bitter inlet]

@midnight jasper there’s nothing to be discouraged about tho, just take it as inspiration. A lot of the ideas and areas on my island were inspired by others, see something u like and make ur own version sort of thing

[plain roost]

random question idk if this is allowed here but does using the island planner apps rly help with designing the island for u guys?

[midnight jasper]

@bitter inlet i've been slowly working on it ^^ that kind of mindset is just pretty difficult for me usually

[storm bluff]

@plain roost some people like to plan things out before they start building something. same thing as buildings having blueprints before construction starts~

[plain roost]

thanks for answering! 🥰

[storm bluff]

@midnight jasper maybe try just exiting the video after they get past the entrance? it’s usually the first thing you see on video tours besides the flyover. i know its easier said than done but try not to compare your island to anyone elses and remember that its just for you! build whatever makes you feel good~

[plush tree]

hey idk which other channel i could put this in that’s suitable for this, but i saw this online and its a list of good catchphrase ideas for your villagers if they ask to change their current one

[woven drift]

i changed up the pathing and added gnomes! here’s one of my favorite areas now hehe

[midnight jasper]

@storm bluff i'll try that! thanks ^^

[fringe brook]

Hey guys! I need inspo for my island entrance... my only issue is that it is right on the entrance from plane dock. I'd say it is 1 space to the left and 3 spaces forward? It's really frustrating trying to figure out something to do and I don't want to reset after all the work I've done

[soft plaza]

@fringe brook try doing a courtyard/park type for your entrance, you dont need a grandiose entrance waterfalls or extreme cliffaces to make an entrace.

[high dock]

Does anyone have some good island entrance ideas and inspiration?

[vernal oxide]

@high dock this is my entrance

[molten dirge]

Can someone show me their residential area? I'm thinking of redoing mine

[bitter inlet]

@molten dirge mine looks like this

[severe saffron]

can someone show an entrance and general PLAZA area where their plaza is too close to the airport? im braindead after failing all my ideas, and no way im restarting my island river exits and layouts

[twilit lintel]

@molten dirge i dont have one huge residential area. most of my residents are spread out around the island by themed areas.

[plain forge]

@molten dirge I had 6 houses in one area with a modern Japanese theme, but I'm tearing it down as I have a new theme. These are just a few houses I had good screenshots of :)

The area is also on lvl 2 in the right corner of my island

[severe saffron]

my island actually started like this, but i wonder if anyone else has worked with it and made the plaza area too close to the airport look nice?

[left bay]

i just got 5 stars :)

[severe saffron]

the only difference is that my plaza is to the right of my airport also @left bay congrats

[orchid loom]

@severe saffron try making a mini park or a curved path

[wispy tiger]

I just made this playground area!!

[orchid loom]

also, this is my entrance!! it’s currently a work in progress though

[severe saffron]

nice

[somber bluff]

I'm going with a tropical theme... how should I decorate my villagers houses?

[left bay]

i made one of my villagers have a little surfing shack right on the beach using the surfboards, a hammock, a life ring and one of those small cooler things

and another one has a little stereotypical tropical drink bar

[plain forge]

@somber bluff maybe some palm trees in front, then work in personalized tropical stalls for each villager (surf shop, tiki bar, juice bar, swimsuit shop, etc)

[somber bluff]

Omg that's a great idea!!

[woven drift]

i’m working on my greenhouse but look at marshal 🥺

[limber ginkgo]

Tangy in the back looking to buy some art

[primal hatch]

Im making a movie theater. But it seems empty

[storm gull]

I need some areas to fill up some empty spaces. Any ideas?

[stuck trail]

@storm gull

[primal hatch]

@storm gull

[rich ivy]

planning on a korean traditional town, any tips or ideas? maybe someone here did it before

[fluid tinsel]

My off center entrance

[twilit lintel]

@somber bluff do you wanna come to my island? it is tropical themed. maybe you can get some inspo

[primal hatch]

What does it need. Seems so empty

[gilded nacelle]

Finally updated my swim shop with all the dive suits! Wearing one of them called the leaf dive suit

[limber ginkgo]

what are some flowers that look nice around the moon?

[primal hatch]

@gilded nacelle so cute!
@limber ginkgo what color is the moon

[gilded nacelle]

@primal hatch Thankies!

[stuck trail]

@limber ginkgo I like roses around my moon, particularly purple or blue

[red cosmos]

@primal hatch popcorn machine

[primal hatch]

@red cosmos i might have one hopefully i do😫

[red cosmos]

@primal hatch you can catalog mine if I find it

[primal hatch]

Ok!

[shy sand]

Is there any item besides simple panels and Plain wooden shop signs that are good to use as custom signs? I'd like something like the shop sign but have the image higher up.

[red cosmos]

@primal hatch I can't find it sorry

[primal hatch]

@red cosmos thanks i did buy a cotton candy machine now i need a popcorn machine

[soft belfry]

any ideas what i can put here? should i get rid of the circle paths?

[twilit lintel]

Is there any item besides simple panels and Plain wooden shop signs that are good to use as custom signs? I'd like something like the shop sign but have the image higher up.
@shy sand i dont believe there is anything taller that is customizable in the size that youre looking for. like you want something as tall as the rock climb wall right?

[shy sand]

@twilit lintel Actually just as high as a diner sign. But I don't think I can put the shop signs on any kind of boxes correct?

[twilit lintel]

@shy sand yeah i dont believe theres anything that tall that is customizable then. and i havent tried putting the diner signs up on anything. but it might not be able to since its so large

[stuck trail]

@shy sand I think your options are either A) customize a simple panel and try to hide the bottom half or B) customize a low screen and place it on top of something. neither are optimal but it's what's available to my knowledge... actually I'm not even sure you can place a low screen on something but it's worth a try

[woven drift]

finished my mini greenhouse! 💚

[shy sand]

@twilit lintel Thanks for the info. @stuck trail Hiding the simple panel might be a good option. I'll try it. Really wish we could have two different images for the simple panels 😫

@earnest yarrow I'll have to check that out thanks. 🙂

[stuck trail]

@earnest yarrow you actually can't place the paper lanterns on top of things, which is both confusing and annoying lol

yeah, that's why I was starting to second guess the low screen as well. I think anything classified as a "houseware" in the catalog can only be placed on the ground... someone correct me if I'm wrong

[jovial fern]

@primal hatch film projector and lights!

[primal hatch]

@jovial fern what lights?

[clever pagoda]

Hey so I have this space by my heart pond and to the right and Idk what to do with it please dm if you know what to do

[primal hatch]

@clever pagoda

[jovial fern]

@primal hatch i was thinking studio spotlights, floor lights, and a lamp

[soft belfry]

any idea on what i can put here? should i get rid of the circles? advice and help appreciated!

[jovial fern]

@soft belfry farmers market? Or a lobby/waiting area with flowers

[soft belfry]

@jovial fern ooh i like the sound of that! should i get rid of the paths? if a lobby, i was thinking of a bus stop type thing

[jovial fern]

@soft belfry maybe connect them to make a path to resident services

[primal hatch]

@soft belfry you should do a little jungle cafe. Like a bunch of plants and a cafe merged

[granite spire]

I have a statue park there @soft belfry

[soft belfry]

i’m guessing i should deffo remove the circle paths hehe thank u everyone!

[wispy jay]

Can I see some of your guys maps?

[rich summit]

this is my cafe area (ft rudy and marcie )

[last sage]

i made a celeste corner!!

[twilit lintel]

@wispy jay

[keen dirge]

Am trying to make a basquetball court I need inspiration

If you have any idea could you please dm me

[rich ivy]

anyone got anyideas on all of the arch furnitures?

[stuck trail]

@rich ivy https://villagerdb.com/search?game=nh&q=arch

[plain forge]

@shy sand idk if it's been mentioned already but what I do to make my shop signs higher is build a single cliff square and set the sign up here. Then you can cover the cliff with a simple panel or furniture

[rich ivy]

@rich ivy https://villagerdb.com/search?game=nh&q=arch
@stuck trail tysm

[shy sand]

@plain forge That's a great idea but sadly I can't do that because it's already on a cliff.

[plain forge]

Ohh it's on the third level?

[mighty viper]

@rich ivy this is how I used these 3. The frozen arch I used in my ice section but I don’t have a picture of it

[shy sand]

@plain forge It's on the 2nd level but it's a single sized block so can't expand it higher without adding more cliff space

[twilit lintel]

@rich ivy this is how i used the stone arch.

[keen lion]

I need some grandmacore inspo- Does anyone have any images?

[past sedge]

I’m starting to make my map and I have no idea where to go from here 😭 any ideas?

Not even sure if I like that^

[keen lion]

I think that looks good!

[past sedge]

Thanks! I just demolished my entire island design I had before so I’m starting from scratch again haha

[stuck trail]

@keen lion tbh idk what grandmacore is but i already like it

[keen lion]

@keen lion tbh idk what grandmacore is but i already like it
@bratty.alani#4253 It’s based around cottage and stereotypical grandma related things ie. gardening, soft knitted fabric, crocheting, farmland animals, fresh baked bread, etc.

I can’t find any good pics of it-

[soft stirrup]

Almost done with this!! I need some yellow pansies and bamboo if anyone has them!

[stuck trail]

@keen lion honestly I'm not sure it's been done much before, or at least not described that way. you might have to draw your inspo from cottagecore pics and add your own grandmacore touches haha

[night tundra]

Any good sets for a modern black and white colored area? I have the roses and streetlamps, but i have a black house next to a white one and idk what to decorate them with

[stuck trail]

@night tundra the only black & white "set" I'm aware of is the diner set or maybe the box sofas? is there a specific kind of decoration are you looking for (sitting area, ornamental, etc)?

[night tundra]

@stuck trail ya i was thinking of using the ironwood set for a sitting area, but i need some small complementary stuff, so maybe just customizing items

[woven drift]

Decided to not go for grand entranceways...(curse town hall being way off center). Any suggestions as to how I can work with the space between the bushes and the arch? Preferably what would make it look “cozy”

[night tundra]

@woven drift benches, flowers, terraforming if u move the trews u can make a waterfall

[fringe garden]

OMG THE BAMBOO GRASS IS AMAZING WTF I have to use it

[stuck trail]

also ||you can place seaweed|| this is going to be a game changer on my beach

[woven drift]

Thanks for the advice @night tundra , but I think I’m going to steer clear of using any waterfalls on the entrance if I can help it. My past two tries at this involved those and I just couldn’t like the design because of them

[soft whale]

Seaweed works well as fallen pine needles

[echo sparrow]

what can i put to fill up some space here!

[fringe garden]

Either water fountain with street lamps or you could add stalls and make it like a shopping district/café

[pliant sun]

Lf inspo decorating Tangy’s yard 💛🥺

[stuck trail]

@woven drift honestly to make it feel comfy I would just fill it out with some more natural elements, a few more trees/shrubs and some flowers. maybe a garden bench or little sitting areas on the side(s). maybe if you have room you could add a small cliff with more nature on it to add visual interest

@echo sparrow more fossils / art displays / museum gift shop or cafe

[echo sparrow]

the statues look weirdly placed when i put them in the middle ):

also i had a fountain there but it kind of looked weird since there is a waterfall in the back

[woven drift]

Thanks.

[fringe garden]

I made a garden shop for Tangy yesterday

[stuck trail]

@echo sparrow if you have multiple art pieces you could scatter them throughout the area, maybe adding floor lights as spotlights on them?

[ancient crypt]

Anyone here design maps dm me if possible

[exotic hatch]

I made this and I’m in love

[stuck trail]

@exotic hatch what are those things with tails!! and why haven't I caught any yet!! lol

[exotic hatch]

They’re horseshoe crabs!!

[round sierra]

Hi i need ideas for this area! I can add more land to the left.

[soft saffron]

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fill space on my island. A list would be nice

[stuck trail]

@soft saffron

[round sierra]

Does anyone have some beekeeping area inspo? I saw some online but they look kinda bad

[stuck trail]

@round sierra try searching "in: island-layouts has: image bee" and scroll until you find a couple that inspire you

[lunar jolt]

My entrance has been really hard to make look good cuz the resident services is 7 blocks away

[round sierra]

@stuck trail ty i found some really cute ones

[still kernel]

I’m confused, what does she mean by this?

[buoyant stream]

dropped items

[round sierra]

Like diy recipes and furniture that arent placed

[stone linden]

Sticks

[buoyant stream]

you can have 14 dropped items but anything over that she will complain about

[fringe garden]

I wanna add the bamboo grass in so many more areas now

[languid bridge]

@soft plaza hey sorry do you mind giving me the code for those bricks please 🥺

[stone linden]

So you can see the green spaces on the side of my paths. What should I place there? I was thinking fences but I feel like it would look busy next to the fences I already placed down. What do y’all think.

[stuck trail]

@stone linden how about some shrubs or flowers?

[wispy jay]

@stone linden Maybe bushes or benches?

[stone linden]

Bet I’ll do a combo. Thanks y’all 🙂

[ancient crypt]

Design my island I’ll pay if I have to just dm me if interested

[buoyant stream]

why are diagonal bridges so hard to build for me

[stuck trail]

@buoyant stream like placing them? if that's the case, there's a guide in the pins with excellent diagrams

[flint venture]

Anyone can show me some pretty townhall designs?

[tight badge]

Anyone have fossil parks or flower cafe/ parks?

[granite spire]

My waterfall entrances doesnt work anymore with the new update 😭😭

[fringe garden]

what happened with the patch?

[twilit lintel]

@granite spire what do you mean it doesnt work?

[tight badge]

What patch?👀

[granite spire]

Update i mean 😂

[soft stirrup]

Something new I’m almost done with 🙂

[granite spire]

@twilit lintel cant jump through anymore 😦

[primal hatch]

What should i add?

[twilit lintel]

@granite spire ??

[tight badge]

@granite spire WAIT WHAT REALLY?

[granite spire]

@twilit lintel cant jump like that anymore

[fringe garden]

wtf that’s so cool

[twilit lintel]

ohhhh]

[granite spire]

@fringe garden it is but doesnt work anymore

Can just open it up not a really big deal but still it was very cool 😦

[tight badge]

NOOOOO.... i just made a part with that glitch on the back of my island, it was a hidden place where i’d put gravestones for the animals that used to live on my island but moved away....

[lost flax]

anyone got any simple 5 star island map layouts i need inspo i got the worst creative mind out there

[granite spire]

@tight badge rightt?!

[fringe garden]

@primal hatch I think you should add bunny day balloons it matches the floor

[twilit lintel]

@lost flax i think mine is somewhat simple...its pretty flat and has pretty simple terraforming except the water bungalow area.

[lost flax]

looks nice tyyyyy

[tight badge]

@granite spire i just did it a few days ago..... :/

[granite spire]

Me 2 @tight badge

[pale musk]

Any ideas for Mitzi’s yard and garden?

[tight badge]

Why does nintendo take out the stuff we want but give us things we dont need 😦

[lime jasper]

Ya

[stuck trail]

@pale musk blue and yellow/gold could be cute for the garden! maybe roses or pansies?

[woven drift]

Should I make Kiki move in with her amiibo card?

[stuck trail]

@pale musk or maybe like "Primrose"?
@woven drift yes

[rich ivy]

Need help or tips on make angled stonepaths, are there custom designs that can help?

[pale musk]

@stuck trail thank you!

I think I’ll put a natural garden Tavel with metal garden tables for her porch area

[mighty coyote]

can anyone send me some greenhouse inspo l!!!

[spark knot]

Hope this is the right place.. Which flower combo would you use for an island with yellow hibiscus, pink camellias, & both olive shrubs??

[pale musk]

Top left since the hibiscus flowers area bit orangish

[stuck trail]

@spark knot my personal preference would be this one

[waxen charm]

^ ya i like the one @stuck trail said

[digital crane]

Does anyone have any ideas for elevated houses with waterfalls/rivers?

[spark knot]

My first thought was the top left but I like that one too lol this choice shouldn’t be that difficult!! Thanks!

[pale musk]

@digital crane i do, my house sits on top of a mountain island with a waterfall and stairs

[stuck trail]

@spark knot you really can't go wrong with either one tbh!

[wispy pendant]

any flower sets for coconut trees?

im looking for a urban style island but with a tropical touch.

[stuck trail]

@wispy pendant top right?

Wolfie has a bunchhh of flower sets, you can just browse them here for more inspo if that one doesn't suit you https://linktr.ee/WolfieofHoneywood

[wispy pendant]

that's really cool ty

[twilit lintel]

@mighty coyote i dont know if this counts. top picture

[mighty coyote]

tysm

here is my little post office i created afew days ago : )

[odd isle]

Any ideas what to do in this area? My island theme is like an abandoned trashy city. It's right next to a shopping district, some houses, and a trash heap fishing area

[mighty coyote]

maybe make a cemetery or sum with trash all over it

[odd isle]

Oh I like that! And I do have the western stone recipe

[final salmon]

put all the fish there and make it into a loading dock with a bunch of fish

[icy flint]

My progress of the day with my entrance so far tried the best I could but a struggle when your town hall is so close going to find a before picture

[final salmon]

ughh sane my island has that too,, my entrance and yours are p similar ngl

[icy flint]

and this is the before (going to try to add some furniture and flowers tomorrow)

@stuck trail gonna give you a tour once im done with some relocations and getting everything looking nice

[tight badge]

@icy flint looks nice 🥺✨

[icy flint]

@tight badge ty! but gave up like 3 times during the process and now personally the hard part comes with finding the right furniture

[tight badge]

Ahh yess, furniture... the hardest part

[icy flint]

usually that's when @stuck trail comes in to save the day with recommendations

[stuck trail]

I'd rather decorate 1000 islands than terraform 1 😭 LOL

[rough tulip]

decoration is so hard though haha

[icy flint]

i think i struggled for 20mins trying to slant a side of the mountain

[stuck trail]

but terraforming is hard and boring lol

[rough tulip]

idk i always take it fairly slowly

[icy flint]

yeah but you gotta do it sooner than later

[rough tulip]

speaking of furniture though, i just got the mermaid cupboard diy and im so excited to decorate my island w/ the set as i want it to be super like, fancy magical ?

[full kernel]

cottage core beach designs ? 🥺

[stuck trail]

@rough tulip I try to but I get distracted easily and suddenly I'm trying to terraform 5 areas at once

[rough tulip]

@rough tulip I try to but I get distracted easily and suddenly I'm trying to terraform 5 areas at once
@stuck trail oh thats so fair baha-

[jaunty stone]

Trying to make my house into a castle

[rough tulip]

WOAHHH- the skeleton in the background too, it looks so grand!

[icy flint]

@stuck trail tbh wish we had an option to where i can terraform your island and you can decorate mine lmao the good old switcharo

[stuck trail]

@icy flint if only lol 🥺

[rough tulip]

oh also! what are your favourite exteriors? personally i love the purple door with the chipped paint

[icy flint]

can never go wrong with a good classic bench

[stuck trail]

I think I've got white stucco right now with a pink tile roof and it feels very beachy paired with the seashell wreath ❤️

[rough tulip]

i have yet to unlock the seashell wreath, but its so pretty!!

[icy flint]

"if there's space slap a bench, or flowers" -nyack

[rough tulip]

lmao-

[icy flint]

@rough tulip lmao if i dont have a certain item that i want ill just add a bench until i get that thing - better than nothing

[rough tulip]

thats,,, actually genius

[wild yacht]

what wreath should i put on stitches house? i have no idea

[icy flint]

what kind of stair case should i use leading up to the tailors?

[rough tulip]

what wreath should i put on stitches house? i have no idea
@wild yacht fancy rose? possibly bunny day/ one with pansys

[icy flint]

was thinking white slanted ramp or a log staricase

[stuck trail]

@wild yacht I'd do a pansy wreath - ties in the red and yellow on the house and matches his garden

@icy flint the white incline would be a better match to the tailor shop (also depends on what path you plan to use...)

[wild yacht]

thank you for the help!!@rough tulip @stuck trail

[icy flint]

@stuck trail idk which path exactly but ik for the entrance i want a red carpet with some cameras and chairs next to it like a fashion show (haven't had time to look at paths)

[austere trail]

anyone have any ideas for a small zen entrance? i (literally) have 4 blocks in between and my layout is almost so bad i’m thinking of restarting but i love my villagers so i couldn’t do that plus i have tons of diys that would go to waste :,) this is what i currently have, any ideas/things i should add? i feel like it’s too open and there isn’t a very good buffer so it just looks plain and empty

[stuck trail]

@icy flint I might do the log staircase then personally... the white ramp is a little too "shabby chic" for a red carpet I think lol

[icy flint]

idk why but the natural ramp the cheapest is my favorite lol

[somber oracle]

hiii isabelle says i have too many trees. does anyone want to come let me know what i should chop?

[supple cipher]

i reset my island... got my dream layout AND my dream villager 💙

[austere trail]

@somber oracle start with non fruit trees and chop until you’d like but keep a minimum of 17 (if you’d like furniture, bells, wasps, etc)

[woven drift]

Can I join someone’s island pls

[somber oracle]

@austere trail i’ve got a super foresty island so idk where to get rid of stuff lol

[woven drift]

I just got Animal Crossing New Horizons this Monday

All I want are fruits that aren’t oranges 🍎🍐🍑🍒

[icy flint]

@woven drift try go to the #fruit-vegetable-trade channel i think that'll help

[woven drift]

Okay thx

[icy flint]

@austere trail also i don't think you should completely restart your island but i wish my zen garden was complete to show you but my suggestion is to make it a little bit more narrow mine was 3 was i can walk in the middle with sides to decorate

[stuck trail]

@austere trail what if you did a little zen garden on the right and used simple panels to enclose it? that would help shield your entrance from the resident services building if that's what you're looking to do

[woven drift]

Can visit someone’s island I got the game 4 days ago

[spiral vale]

@somber oracle there are actually 22 trees that drop stuff daily, 15 gold coins, 5 wasps, and 2 furniture, so chop down non fruit trees in a particular you might wanna build your shops or villager homes on

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift you can come to mine. give me a few minutes

[woven drift]

@twilit lintel thx

[drowsy quiver]

repost

[icy flint]

i really don't want to go look through the furniture trade channel for certain things because its soo annoying and they upcharge so much rip to my nmt

[lavish monolith]

My wedding area :)

[placid matrix]

@austere trail maybe you could add the stone gate

[round sierra]

Just finished my bee hive! If u have any suggestions id love to hear them!

[austere trail]

@round sierra i think u should add some white hyacinths/mums and it would compliment eachother well!!

[stuck trail]

@round sierra love it! my only suggestion - add a honeybee model

[round sierra]

@austere trail ty i added a few white flowers also @stuck trail i will do that when flick comes 🙂

[twilit lintel]

@lavish monolith that looks great! i would have done an outdoor wedding, but i had done an outdoor hotel already, so i dedicated a whole house to the wedding stuff. the only thing outdoor was the reception

[vernal oxide]

@round sierra its super cute!! This is kinda what I did with mine, I added it to my smoothie bar because I like honey in my smoothies just a tad bit lol. But idk if you have spots, but I used the custom path for honey drops ! I should probably add more flowers I’m too lazy though

[round sierra]

@vernal oxide OMG THATS REALLY CUTE! My smoothie area is on my beach but urs is just wow

[vernal oxide]

@round sierra ahah ty!! I put a little pool area next to it so you can relax with a smoothie. I have to dream it cause I can’t have either with quarantine 😭

[lavish monolith]

@twilit lintel im gonna make one of my house an inn. We had the same idea except in reverse lol. Yours look good too :)

[twilit lintel]

@lavish monolith this is my outdoor hotel

[grizzled egret]

any ideas for my ?? and idk areas

[twilit lintel]

@grizzled egret heres some ideas.

[stuck trail]

@grizzled egret

[grizzled egret]

thanks

anyone have bathhouse examples?

[twilit lintel]

@grizzled egret not my picture

[grizzled egret]

thanks

[twilit lintel]

@grizzled egret

[grizzled egret]

i like those i think i’m going to try a little more rustic and small though... i’ve been inspired

[open fern]

Does anyone have any museum layouts? My island is going for a cottagecore theme but anything works

[woven drift]

here’s the work in process statue garden ☁️ need some plants to grow in and to plant some plants lol

[gleaming kelp]

so cute!! @woven drift

[frigid canopy]

Finally finished grinding for the petals to redo my entrance, I am always wishing it was cherry blossom season pretty proud ^.^

[viral bronze]

How can I improve my entrance?

[twilit lintel]

@open fern the front of my museum is a small fossil display while the back in an art gallery maze

[bleak fjord]

Any suggestions for a small table to display bug and fish models on outdoors? I can’t decide.....

[twilit lintel]

@bleak fjord i usually use podiums to display small items like fossils

[deep junco]

what can I add to this little picnic/painting area (ignore the unfinished path lol) i feel like it’s missing something

[keen nymph]

stayed up to play the update, ended up flattening my island in just five hours.... now the fun part! lol

[vernal oxide]

@keen nymph That is a huge mood

[twilit lintel]

what can I add to this little picnic/painting area (ignore the unfinished path lol) i feel like it’s missing something
@deep junco maybe a tree above the left hand corner of the picnic blanket or flowers

@deep junco if you put a tree there, it could possibly block the swinging bench. But if you add flowers, it might not look as full. Just try both

[deep junco]

ty for the suggestion!

[viral bronze]

How can I improve my entrance? I feel like it's missing something

[round sierra]

@viral bronze add a stall that sells food or coffee! Itll remind people more of an airport waiting area

[woven drift]

Yea a coffee stall would be a nice addition

[round sierra]

On a darker note, i want to add a graveyard, does anyone have inspo pieces

[woven drift]

anyone have photos of like a market place/ festival type place?

[viral bronze]

Not mine but something like this @round sierra ?

[round sierra]

Thats really nice. Ty! Ill have to butcher it to fit in my island lol

[restive tangle]

@viral bronze how about adding rovers bag somewhere as decoration? and some kind of stall selling tourist goods/coffee

[drifting light]

i wish that putting custom paths over existing paths would make the same noise as the path underneath bc i love the sound of the stone path but i hate the look of it bc it doesn't fit my island

[scenic jacinth]

after doing a lot of work today i made 4 new parts of my island and finished them 😈 got back to 5 stars after picking up my mess of remodeling

[tame field]

@round sierra heres my cemetery 🖤

[scenic jacinth]

ooh!! i just did a cemetery tonight

[round sierra]

Ooo i love the witchcraft area! Im planning on doing something like this but i will implement on the fortune telling area!

[scenic jacinth]

got lucky and wisp spawned there!

[round sierra]

Hahahha nice! I love how animal crossing is supposed to be cutesy and we’re putting cemeteries in the towns

[scenic jacinth]

also a sweet lil shot of fauna in the jungle gym 🥺

[shadow horizon]

My campsite

[tame field]

That path is amazing

[shadow horizon]

@tame field thx

[round sierra]

@scenic jacinth Damn, shes working out in the gym area! My villagers dont even sit on the 1000s of chairs i have in the island

[vernal oxide]

@round sierra same lol

[scenic jacinth]

never even seen a villager use a chair on god

beside that stupid green bench that shows up in the plaza

[round sierra]

Then they just plop themselves in the middle of the construction area! Like ma’am!

Ur path looks really good

[vernal oxide]

@stuck trail I think I seen someone have the same thing happen where the villager sat on the stump with the bug and it flew away 😂

[stuck trail]

It's The Path rip I'm basic 😂 I was shocked when I caught it I thought for sure she squished it lmao

[glass python]

Looking for Shopping area ideas!!

[flint bane]

do you guys think it would be okay to put some stalls where the fence is?

[round sierra]

Anyways checkout my makeshift bridge cuz im too poor to afford a new one! Also no i think it would be nice @flint bane

[fringe garden]

Does anyone have photos of the tanabatas/bamboo grass they used?

[weak marlin]

hi need some inspiration for my entrance. it's too short and the resident services is on the right 😦

[twilit lintel]

@glass python I have a food stall market area in front of nook and ables. And on the side is merengues diner. And then In another area with sprinkles ice cream parlor, marshals cafe, a floral shop, and music store. I have a lot of different stores and restaurants.

[round sierra]

@weak marlin i have that island and i believe i put a pretty good entrance there despite the distance lemme get pics!

[merry arch]

Hey guys! I’m trying to renovate my island because A. What I build made me kinda stuck. And B. I don’t like the look, and the town hall was so. Close it hurt. The switch is my island now, and the computer is what it’s gonna become. Where there are bare spots just imagine lots of bamboo... that I don’t have... I don’t have any zen items... 😬

Sorry if sloppy

[woven drift]

lol

[round sierra]

@weak marlin

[weak marlin]

@weak marlin i have that island and i believe i put a pretty good entrance there despite the distance lemme get pics!
@round sierra thank u! ;; looks amazing! 🙂

[merry arch]

Is there any quick way to get rid of paths or am I screwed?

[twilit lintel]

@merry arch theres only one way

[merry arch]

Damn. Well I tried lmao. Imma be here for a while.

[round sierra]

@glass python . I made a record shop if that helps

[twilit lintel]

Damn. Well I tried lmao. Imma be here for a while.
@merry arch some areas you can just pave over it. But from looking at your two maps, your first map roads are in the middle while your other map is not so much concentrated in the middle. So there’s quite a bit of undoing

[fringe garden]

Imagine the time we would save with a mass cliff builder/remover as well as one for paths

[stuck trail]

@round sierra that looks so cool! have you considered placing KK albums in there?

[round sierra]

@stuck trail u can do that?!?.. time to unregister all my songs

[sturdy ore]

Which one fits better to the plaza?

[vernal oxide]

My dumb moment of the day: I ordered bamboo grass earlier today since it was the new item and I ordered 5. why? Idk. But I forgot and I tt to make my trees grow to see how an area looks and I went into my mailbox and was like what the heck is bamboo grass? 😂 -hope this makes you guys laugh a bit and less stressed about your islands

[fringe garden]

@sturdy ore idk why for me I like the darker red. It stands out with the brick well

[charred lark]

@sturdy ore i think i like the red one more but yellow fits really well with it too

[sturdy ore]

I'll go with red then

[fringe garden]

The bamboo grass is so cute it’s prob my fave items along with garden wagons

[round sierra]

Whats bamboo grass nvm, i thought it was called tanabata bamboo

[vernal oxide]

@fringe garden my plan to use it is for a bamboo area I’m going to make for pekoe. I’m doing a little bear section for Judy, pekoe and stitches. But pekoe will have bamboo and such around her house so I’ll use that

@round sierra I think it depends on where you’re located lol but it’s the same thing

[fringe garden]

@vernal oxide that sounds amazing! It fits perfectly with Pekoe and her house theme

[vernal oxide]

@fringe garden I’m just hoping I can execute it well lol 🤞🏼

[fringe garden]

@vernal oxide you will! All the cool islands are from ppl who plan things out so well in their heads creatively

[frozen lion]

Anyone got ideas for this area of my island?

[round sierra]

Heres an idea for one of the smaller beach areas!

[fringe garden]

What’s the island theme or aesthetics you like? @frozen lion

[frozen lion]

@fringe garden going for a tropical/ island getaway sort of vibe

[round sierra]

u should do a spa!

[frozen lion]

@round sierra not a bad idea, just the right size for it too

[fringe garden]

I was thinking of spa too. Something that is relaxing but tropical so either a ratan furniture area with palm trees or popsicle stands

[round sierra]

I made this one for my island. Your space is a lot bigger so u could probably do some cool things

[twilit lintel]

@fringe garden going for a tropical/ island getaway sort of vibe
@frozen lion here’s some inspo. My island theme is tropical resort

[frozen lion]

@twilit lintel haha nice!
Would you be willing to give a tour?

[twilit lintel]

@frozen lion yeah. Let me turn it on real quick

[round sierra]

Ya’ll have themes while mine is “ whatever i can think of for that available space” 😂

[vernal oxide]

@round sierra LMAO STOP THATS ME

[fringe garden]

Same I wish I could be more organized.

[round sierra]

Like how are yall giving ur villagers whole parks. Mine have yards with like a chair or sum

[fringe garden]

I just build spots and avoid thinking about how it’s going to connect and flow cause that part is too difficult for me

[twilit lintel]

@round sierra my overall theme is tropical resort, but I have mini areas that are specifically themed that you might see on an actual resort

[round sierra]

Ive seen a couple of screenshots of ur island and its an inspiration for me to be organized but im lazy💅

[frozen lion]

I feel like my island is going to be nothing but brown pathing for the map at the end lmao

[twilit lintel]

@round sierra it took me a long time to get to where I’m at now. So don’t feel discouraged!

[vernal oxide]

@fringe garden I did that previously. But since I’m redoing my island I’m actually doing it in sections. So for instance I already had my entrance and fixed up my museum that’s across from it. To the left I made merengue have a bakery and marshal a cafe right by each other and a rainbow flower garden. To the right of my entrance is my shops and below my shops is a market, then it’s a pool area, a soon to be surfshop, and a smoothie area with my orchard

[fringe garden]

When in doubt just check @twilit lintel ‘s island they have a beautiful mini areas for every theme. Campsite theatre, resorts etc

[stuck trail]

It's ok to not have a theme. Sometimes it's even cooler to see islands that have multiple themes going on bc they're always unique and it takes a lot of creativity to be able to come up with all these different areas! Y'all are too hard on yourselves

[round sierra]

@twilit lintel sis i have 205 hours already lol. Im pretty happy with my island though. I guess the theme would be small urban town if i had to name one on the spot

[fringe garden]

@vernal oxide Omg it sounds so good! Whenever it’s finished you should share some pics

[twilit lintel]

@round sierra I have over 710 hours. So trust me when I say it takes time to build up. I redid my island 5 ½ times and there’s areas that are still a WIP

[round sierra]

@fringe garden the smoothie area is so cute! Envy and i were bonding cuz of our beekeeping💅
and OML @twilit lintel! Ur island is gorgeous but it is fun to get back into animal crossing and redo stuff

[vernal oxide]

@fringe garden okay I quickly threw them together on a collage app lol but those are some pictures I have. The museum is so large to even get pictures of 😂 and my shops look horrible since I’m still working on them

[twilit lintel]

@round sierra thank you! But I’m never happy because there’s always something to do and make better. And there’s always new events and updates.

[fringe garden]

@vernal oxide the color aesthetic is amazing! It makes me wanna build my island faster.

That’s a lot of lily of the valleys LOL

[round sierra]

I want to put an orchard but it takes so much space 😞

[twilit lintel]

@round sierra if you’re going for a farmer type theme, you can totally do one. But you don’t need to make it so big. You can always do one type of fruit

[vernal oxide]

@round sierra lol I added pile of leaves in between the trees of the orchard to give it more of a natural feel. Later I’ll throw weeds in there too. And my orchard has 4 trees to each kind (kinda small compared to others)
@fringe garden thank you! LMAO the bottom right picture used to have more Lily’s but I sold them to others who needed them to decorate cause I’ll get more over time

[round sierra]

Oml i also have a crocs store that id think yall would appreciate

[fringe garden]

I can’t imagine how much time or much you had to pay but it looks good so it was worth it

@round sierra cute! It reminds me of the croc stands at the malls

[vernal oxide]

@fringe garden I’m at 225 hours but the amount of times I leave my switch on with the game on probably takes up an hour or two 😭 but ty!! All a work in progress

[fringe garden]

Whenever I get too lazy to decorate my island I just go on here to get inspiration and motivation

[solemn ice]

Hey does anybody want to come to my island

[round sierra]

I just like looking at everyones island and getting feedback on my own lol

[solemn ice]

Oh ok

[woven drift]

Food area, onsen and my attempt at a zen garden

[solemn ice]

I heard that we might have to pay for future updates

[woven drift]

I doubt it

[round sierra]

I hope thats a dlc to get an expansion of the island and get more villagers if its true

[fringe garden]

I hope not we already pay for online

[solemn ice]

True

[fringe garden]

yes please I just need 2 more villagers that’s all I ask.

[solemn ice]

I literally just had Octavian move out

[woven drift]

Anyone have some advice for what I could add to my Japanese themed island

[sturdy ore]

Thoughts on my entrance? It sadly didn't turn out how I wanted to because THE RESIDENT SERVICES IS WAY TOO CLOSE. But I think this is pretty okay as a beginner

[woven drift]

I never get mine to look as nice as the others

[round sierra]

A cherry blossom themed area

[fringe garden]

@woven drift I’m biased but you should add some tanabatas/bamboo grass. Maybe some cherry blossom furniture or bamboo lanterns too for pops of color.

[woven drift]

Cherry blossoms would look nice I just have to find room

My island layout is interesting to say the least

[fringe garden]

@sturdy ore I didn’t even notice the town hall until I looked closely. You hid it well to make it seem like the entrance is bigger than it is.

[sturdy ore]

Really? It wasn't even my intention to do so. Thank you

[woven drift]

Anyone wanna check out my island and give me advice

[noble vigil]

Any ideas on furniture that might go well here?

[bleak skiff]

@twilit lintel hello! im curious to know how your water bungalow resort looks like if thats alright 🙂 thank you!

[rigid stump]

I couldn't think of an island name when I started so I called it dimmsdale and I finally got to live up to my namesake!

[woven drift]

Haha

[vague idol]

i have these two areas behind my resident services that i want to decorate for people to see when they come visit my island! any ideas?

i don't have any inclines leading up to the area so it would be purely cosmetic stuff to see when you fly in

[scenic blaze]

A friend visited me and took some lovely pictures

[wary hemlock]

i don't have any inclines leading up to the area so it would be purely cosmetic stuff to see when you fly in
@vague idol I can show you some of mine if you want.

hey, anyone have a cool island that i can visit for inspo?

[deep zephyr]

MA-6647-9230-4716 is the creator’s code

[twilit lintel]

@forest gazelle are you looking for something specific?

[forest gazelle]

@twilit lintel no just a cool island!

[twilit lintel]

@forest gazelle I can open up my island if you want 🤷🏻‍♀️

[sharp wharf]

@forest gazelle I would show you mine but I'm not done it but the theme I'm going for is A Magic Forest

[forest gazelle]

@twilit lintel that would be great

[twilit lintel]

@forest gazelle give me a sec

[forest gazelle]

i would love to visit both

[static pasture]

I know this may not the channel to ask this but I really need inspo for a nature/cottage core area, I was wondering if someone who don't mind giving me a tour or just let me visit their island? I can tip you for your time

[low egret]

Looking for front yard ideas for these villagers, only ones I have done are Maple, Lucky, Audie, Marshall, Stitches, and Judy!

Oh I like those a lot

[keen lion]

Hey can someone give me some grandmacore inspo? I need some for me and my cousin’s island-

[twilit lintel]

@low egret haha sorry, I misread it, so I took it down 😅

[keen lion]

I finally found the aesthetic I love-

[low egret]

Lol I’m definitely going to upgrade audies surf shack and Marshall’s cafe (which I both have as there front yards) based on those! I loved the stall at Audies shack!

[twilit lintel]

Did you want me to repost it? @low egret

[low egret]

@twilit lintel sure! Ty!

[turbid pewter]

someone pleasee help me decorate my entrance waterfalls! I have no idea what to do for them and I really need some help or inspo! (sorry for the bad photo)

[keen lion]

Halp

[low egret]

@turbid pewter maybe some nova lights, floor lights, bushes, flowers, stone stools, log stakes, and star clocks.

[limber crater]

^

[turbid pewter]

Tysm! ill try out some of those ideas ❤️

[scenic blaze]

@keen lion what makes grandmacore different from cottagecore? I haven’t heard the phrase before but would be happy to look for some inspo with you

[fallen mantle]

hi guys, anyone have any entrance inspo for me? i tried this and i dont think i’m much of a fan of it

[tired arch]

i need entrance inspo for a small space between airport and resident services </3

[fallen mantle]

I have a bit of space but my resident services is right here

[low egret]

@fallen mantle flowers, bushes, log stakes, stone stools, trees, statues, personally I like wooden pathways, many waterfalls and terraforming, some garden stones, bridges, inclines, and I always like a nearby river.

[woeful ravine]

does anyone have a fairy/foresty/cottagecore island i can visit and look around? i just restarted my island and i'm looking for inspo :)

[storm bluff]

@fallen mantle maybe try making your spotted path more directional towards your rs? like the circle at the top left isnt really heading towards anything so it looks randomly placed.

[fallen mantle]

@storm bluff yeah for sure i stopped at that point because i wasn’t happy with where it was going

@low egret thank you!!

[storm bluff]

@fallen mantle maybe once you start decorating youll feel better about it? our entrances are pretty similar~

[tired arch]

my rs is 13 squares away from my airport halp

[clever pagoda]

@tired arch I can show you what I did if you want

[silk ermine]

@tired arch @fallen mantle
Mine is 7 spaces away and this is what I did

[queen current]

What’s ones better?

[tired arch]

@clever pagoda yesss pleaseee
@queen current the winged

[queen current]

Well, I’m asking about the waterfall mainly. The 2 one nice but the space is crazy

[soft belfry]

the second pic as a whole @queen current

[tired arch]

ohh i see yeah ii like the double aesthetically but it depennds on how much space ur planning on using

[silk ermine]

and how loud you want it to be there, 2 waterfalls is so loud

[tired arch]

this

[queen current]

Noice idc about tbh

[queen hazel]

How do you guys deal with your residential services super close to your airport, I'm not sure what to do ;-;

[tiny egret]

Built a waterfall to hide it lmao

[scenic blaze]

@queen hazel terraforming helps a lot. Use cliffs to obscure it!

[tired arch]

OMGG THANKK U @tiny egret

[tiny egret]

Mine was so close and off-center it was the only thing I could think of lmao

[queen hazel]

Lmao great idea ! It's like mildly offset to the right so I think I could redirect people one way or the other

[tired arch]

same i feel dumb now that ive seen what you did lmfaoo

[queen hazel]

I've wanted to reroll for that one reason... But nope LOL

[tired arch]

ive literally been stumped for days

[tall coyote]

Does anyone have a good Abe’s and nooks layout?

[clever pagoda]

@tired arch ok so some of it isn’t finished but in the center I will have the moon and in the pillars four different colored nova lights ( sorry it took so long bad internet lol)

[tired arch]

omg thats adorable

[tiny egret]

Ooo space stuff :o

[queen hazel]

Thats cute!! Mine is just like a simple sorta cafe area

[clever pagoda]

Also on that note anyone have a moon and four nova lights lol

[queen hazel]

Residential services leaking in from the corner

[crimson reef]

I don’t have a theme lol, I just do what I like 😅 ft. Kabuki l

[queen hazel]

@crimson reef super cute !!

[scenic blaze]

@clever pagoda moon is 2x2 so I don’t think it’ll fit in the center there

[clever pagoda]

Ooh no that is what I was afraid of

[queen hazel]

Why can't we put rugs outside :(

[tired arch]

@queen hazel your's is adorable alr omggg

[queen hazel]

I need to add like benches or something but I'm not sure what! Thank you though!!! @tired arch

[tired arch]

wooden block and log benches are simple but cute n easy to make

[queen hazel]

Oo that might be good! I have a ton of stuff so ease isn't really a concern

Maybe a tree or something and something tropical dunno yet ^^

[sterile violet]

any suggestions for the empty space in my bar/plant shop

[swift palm]

I use the bamboo grass as an arch in front of my house

[queen hazel]

@sterile violet I'd add more of the log benches with plants I think they're cute :)

Love that entrance !! @swift palm

[granite sinew]

Yo why can’t I see the furniture and trade section?

[queen hazel]

@granite sinew there's an agreement reaction you need to do, forgot the exact channel but it basically says you agree to not be a butthole :)

[bitter ridge]

not mine but this is so creative!!

[queen hazel]

Ok that's cute

[tired arch]

bye that's adorable

[jovial spear]

I want to do an open library but I have no idea what exactly to do. Anyone got some references or ideas?

[tepid lance]

If I could get some island inspiration for pretty much anything so I could finally be motivated to do my island bc it’s still blank it’s be nice

[oblique furnace]

@jovial spear

[twilit lintel]

@tepid lance do you have anything specific that you need help with?

[jovial spear]

woah thats really cute! , to bad i cant do any more inclines T__T @oblique furnace ty for sharing

[tepid lance]

Like an entrance right now because I’m working my way from the front of the island to the back

[queen hazel]

@jovial spear dude I hate how inclines are limited

[queen current]

I think 8 and 8 are a good amount

[twilit lintel]

@tepid lance heres mine. it's pretty simple

[queen current]

@twilit lintel umm, cool. Looks nice

[queen hazel]

For most people yeah but I want inclines everywhere ;-; I'm tryna give my villagers a workout

[tepid lance]

Looks nice @twilit lintel !!!!

[queen hazel]

@tepid lance love the yumeko profile pic :)

[worn pine]

Hey i have a lot of space next too my town hall and i would like some inspiration. The theme for my island is camping/forest so i am no looking for something too modern. Dont mind the houses i will be moving them😁

[tepid lance]

@tepid lance love the yumeko profile pic :)
@queen hazel

[twilit lintel]

@worn pine

[worn pine]

Thx!

[queen current]

Might do the campsite thing tbh and I didn’t even plan stuff

[errant dome]

Im thinking of restarting my island cause of all these designs
Wow
But I worked so hard to get my dreamies

[woven drift]

I find all of your forests and cottagecore atmospheres really nice and cool but I think its deja vu and not very original, just sayin'... 🤷‍♂️

[dire coyote]

Does anyone have any idea what this wall is called?

[twilit lintel]

@dire coyote what part of that picture are you asking about?

[dire coyote]

The wall thing

[twilit lintel]

@dire coyote thats a simple panel with a custom design on it

[spark plover]

@woven drift it kinda doesn’t matter tbh people still make the islands look good so ✨

[fallen mantle]

I have an entrance started anyone have any tips on how to block off the circled bit?

[soft belfry]

anyone have any bus stop/ waiting room areas

[sudden solstice]

Is that Lyman

[fallen mantle]

that is indeed lyman

[sudden solstice]

Good

[brittle isle]

guess who’s gonna tear down an entire section of cliffs they spent so long on to have it look good but now thinks it looks out of place....😸

[spark plover]

felt that ^

[brittle isle]

it sucks so much fr </3

[spark plover]

and terraforming cliffs take way to long

[brittle isle]

for reference it’s fhe circle around the moon...wanted it 2 be a crater of some sorts

cliffs are THE worst to terraform

[soft belfry]

it’s beautiful! what’s wrong with it

[woven drift]

@brittle isle Ur map is freaking beautiful 💖

[brittle isle]

i feel like it looks out of place </3 i’m now going to make my map look like some kind of sky ? idk how to explain it

@woven drift ty :((( its kind of a big mess rn since i’m redoing rivers and cliffs etc

[spark plover]

@brittle isle THAT LOOKS SO GOOD WHATTUSBEUSBSU

omg that makes me wanna restart i-

[woven drift]

@brittle isle oh yeah OK, so the terraformed bits in the top left corner are clouds! they look so good

[lone delta]

@brittle isle 😍😍 your map looks so good!! How do you deal with awkward land shapes on you island though?

[brittle isle]

@spark plover D: u flatter me too much pls n omg i felt that but i put too much work alr into this </333

@lone delta i didn’t rlly use that part of my island just yet hhh but there was a tiny space to actually get in that part on the right side of the crater so i rlly ignored the rest of it

my current inspo for the part with the moon is this but its gonna b tight on the right

[spark plover]

no omg you need to have someone tour your island or something it’s so creative i cannot 😳

[woven drift]

I'm making a yard for my favorite villagers but i'm clueless on what to put in Raymond's and Marshal's yards
Please help

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift

[lone delta]

@woven drift I made some of my villager’s yards into shops. For Marshall, I gave him a wine tasting area / bar since he’s a little fancy.

[brittle isle]

@spark plover rn its a big mess like i lit rally haven’t put down anything furniture wise </3 ill try and hit someone up though eventually ! 2 many ppl have asked for a tour while my island is practically a glorified junkyard 💔

[woven drift]

@woven drift
@twilit lintel That's very creative, but I'm thinking of like a one or two item yard because space on my island is limited

[stuck trail]

@woven drift try searching "in: island-layouts has:image raymond" for past posts of raymond's yard. same can be done for marshal if needed

[lone delta]

@wary hemlock HAHAHA nope, I just left them there and I forgot I had them 😅

[twilit lintel]

@woven drift marshals house is next to sprinkles house and they have a small plaza together that they share space. and right across from them is a mini shopping building

[spark plover]

@brittle isle it is very gorgeous to me ✨

[woven drift]

I have good ideas now! Tysm @stuck trail and @twilit lintel!

[molten wave]

Anyone have tips for decorating small areas? I have a few empty places and I want to fill them but I don't know how.

[woven drift]

@molten wave What kind of a vibe are you going for?

[molten wave]

@woven drift one is by the beach, another is by the museum and the other is in the bamboo themes area.

[fresh plaza]

I cant understand how that bridge is made anyone can help?

[stuck trail]

@molten wave for very small spaces, I'd say just fill it in with some nature (trees/shrubs/flowers) and maybe a small sitting area. for more moderately sized areas, here's a list of ideas

[lime jasper]

You need to tell Tom nook you want a bridge. Then you choose the bridge you want!@fresh plaza

[cerulean crest]

Anyone have a idea of japanese/zen area?👀

[woven drift]

@molten wave For the bamboo theme area, use maybe some calming items like outdoor baths, cypress bathtubs and deer scares.
For the museum, maybe add a statue and some floor lights or some fossils?
For the beach, poolside beds, rattan end tables, coconut juice

[lime jasper]

Does this pic kinda help?@cerulean crest

[cerulean crest]

Yeah thats cool

[fresh plaza]

No i mean like, how does that layaout work... is it like 2 house one in each side of a river and in the mide of them a river that have been "closed" so you can put a bridge on it?

[lime jasper]

Ohhhh I don't know

[stuck trail]

@fresh plaza that looks to be exactly the case. they just closed the river off

[rustic kite]

If u ever need more furniture for ur island, just place a ton of these around your beach, make sure to spread them out and not close to each other, pretty cheap to make and looks cool too

(Literally this is how I got a 5 star island)

[lime jasper]

O nice

[fresh plaza]

@stuck trail thank youuu

[verbal holly]

what does that do

[pure nimbus]

Nice

[woven drift]

@rustic kite Very helpful thanks
I don't have the diy for the stone stools though :(

[fresh plaza]

How ugly can a river being closed turn out?

[woven drift]

How ugly can a river being closed can turn out?
@fresh plaza Trust me, you don't want to know :|

In case you do want to, everyone who doesn't want to know, close your eyes and it should be over soon
Oof lmao ok

[fresh plaza]

Ok thanks i wasnt sure about it but now im definitely not gonna do it😂 @woven drift

[wary hemlock]

it seems infuriating to me .

[neon glen]

closing a river seems like a copout 2 me

[stuck trail]

I mean the great part about terraforming in this game is that you can always undo it if you don't like it haha don't be afraid to try things

[versed wadi]

It’ll get you island scenery points but not much. It’d be an inefficient way to raise your score. There’s a really great guide on how island ratings work here https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Island_evaluation

[river cypress]

I’m slowly working on stiches yard atm any tips on what to do with the rest of his yard the table is Winnie the Pooh theme and I wanna go with the theme almost

[woven drift]

yes very infuriating
don't look if you don't want to know how ugly the river will turn out ||you can't terraform river mouths aaaaaaaa||

[neon glen]

i closed my rivers and then i got mad bc i felt like i wasnt creative enough to think of how to incorporate rivers in my island

[fresh plaza]

I can picture it only as a very ugly sight since im like cutting the river in 2 completely splitted half and cant actually close a river

[river cypress]

Diana’s house is making me so mad rn

[wary hemlock]

me: who’s an idiot and connects all the rivers

[woven drift]

I can picture it only as a very ugly sight since im like cutting the river in 2 completely splitted half and cant actually close a river
@fresh plaza Not really, the ugly sight would be ||river mouths that are just hanging there||

[fresh plaza]

I wish you could make bridges not necessarly on rivers only oof

[zenith yoke]

I need some inspiration for my front yard!

[wary hemlock]

I need some inspiration for my front yard!
@zenith yoke fences?

[lime jasper]

What vibe are you going for?@zenith yoke

@zenith yoke “also good luck on moving the rocks”

[fresh plaza]

@woven drift exactly what i was thinking about, yikes ç_ç

[woven drift]

@woven drift exactly what i was thinking about, yikes ç_ç
@fresh plaza ono you read that

[zenith yoke]

@lime jasper I'm not really set on one theme. My town is... pretty smallish town themed

[woven drift]

Rest in peace

[lime jasper]

Oh okay!@zenith yoke

[fresh plaza]

Lmao

[wary hemlock]

ima make a house ontop of able sisters and make it shampoodle’d themed if that’s a good idea lmao-

[zenith yoke]

@wary hemlock I'm not making a rock garden. I just bury stacks of crafting materials (wood, rocks, iron, etc)

[woven drift]

can someone send me some muesuem designs please

[stiff oasis]

maybe you could make a cliff with a few trees and then a waterfall that goes into the river mouth, instead of ending it straight up lol

[lime jasper]

So maybe some trees white flowers fences and maybe some wood furniture?!@zenith yoke

[versed wadi]

How I setup my front yard:

[zenith yoke]

Thank you @lime jasper @versed wadi

[lime jasper]

NP!@zenith yoke

[woven drift]

My front yard is on an artificial cliff next to the campsite with barbecue so I can eat barbecue and camp anytime ^^
There's also 2 mush lamps because why not

Oh and cliff side tree :P

||That may or may not be a star frag tree 😒||

[wary hemlock]

@woven drift hey, at least you don’t shake it it’s all good right?

[woven drift]

@woven drift hey, at least you don’t shake it it’s all good right?
@wary hemlock yeah ig

[zenith yoke]

I was thinking of having a path wrapping around the house and going to the "garden"... but i feel like it takes up a lot of room

[woven drift]

hmm try it

[primal sentinel]

anyone have tips for basic decorating w/ flowers

[woven drift]

anyone have tips for basic decorating w/ flowers
@primal sentinel use them in front of houses or to the side of them

[zenith yoke]

@primal sentinel I searched 'flower combinations' on Pinterest to find flowers that pair nicely together

[woven drift]

some flower combinations...

[twilit lintel]

can someone send me some muesuem designs please
@woven drift font and back of my museum

[woven drift]

white + black roses
pink + red hyacinths
gold + black roses

Thanks

[twilit lintel]

@zenith yoke

[versed wadi]

I saved that, not sure who’s it is

[worn latch]

Quick question, which bridge would you guys suggest for a woodland themed island?

[woven drift]

Quick question, which bridge would you guys suggest for a woodland themed island?
@worn latch suspension, zen, or log

[worn latch]

@woven drift ty!! I was debating the wooden bridge but I thought it may be too flat and look odd with my island

[leaden sapphire]

Does this look somewhat natural?

[open void]

Do you guys have any beginner design tips? I'm not new to the game, I just have no sense of aesthetic or design lol

[versed wadi]

@worn latch I use stone and wooden my island is 80% woodland

[leaden sapphire]

just trial and error. I'm legit working on my island since 3-4 days and I'm just experimenting

[woven drift]

Should I focus on terraforming first, building my bridge first, or moving my villager’s homes first?

[versed wadi]

Terraform, houses, bridge

[leaden sapphire]

But how about my setting, does it look somewhat natural?

[worn latch]

@versed wadi tysm!! I’ve literally just redone my entire island and have been doing the bridges and inclines, which inclines would you suggest too? So far I’ve been thinking about the natural ramps or log

[stuck trail]

@worn latch I use wooden for my natural island but I would describe my island as "woodland"
@open void start collecting images that inspire you or have visual guides. I didn't do that for the longest time but it is seriously helpful to have references like that available when you need them

[spark plover]

has anyone given blathers like a little aesthetic laboratory? that is my plan for how to decorate the outside of my museum but i haven’t seen much of it so some inspo would be cool! :))

[versed wadi]

@worn latch those are the two I use. It depends on the context

[marble patio]

@leaden sapphire the log house are kinda nice but the other not good

[leaden sapphire]

which house in particular? @marble patio the one being in the center of the frame or the one to the left?

[woven drift]

Does anyone know a good fencing to go with raymond's house?

[lime jasper]

Iron fence maybe?@woven drift

[worn latch]

@versed wadi ty! I’ll keep that in mind! (:
@bratty.alani#4253 yeah I have some reference pictures all sorted for certain areas, just sorting out the main parts first (:

[marble patio]

the one if the left, sorry I not going to be bias with villagers and stuff but if you're going with woodland, log house are great

[leaden sapphire]

yea that is logical. However I'm trying to move in all the villagers into a forest area, since they're animals and nature like that is their habitat. So I basically have a mix of a super nice looking city and some forests around for the villagers

[woven drift]

Making snowmen in the winter is gonna be rough but I’m happy w my map 😭

Iron fence maybe?@woven drift
@lime jasper I was thinking that too.
I also kinda forgot what I was gonna do with Raymond's yard

[marble patio]

yea that is logical. However I'm trying to move in all the villagers into a forest area, since they're animals and nature like that is their habitat. So I basically have a mix of a super nice looking city and some forests around for the villagers
@leaden sapphire if you're in with the straw like house you can move them outside of the forest and create a farm kinda thing

[lime jasper]

😁 👍

[leaden sapphire]

good idea I'll consider it, need to take a look at what other types of houses I got tho

[willow elm]

Idk what to do with here 😦

[marble patio]

yeah, villager houses should be consider too

Idk what to do with here 😦
@willow elm seaside park?

[willow elm]

@marble patio what does that look like?

[limber ginkgo]

I got rid of my stall design codes from my market (gonna use patterns instead) and ended up with 13 slots

[supple cipher]

can anyone send their double south river map layout to me? i just reset my island 💕💕

[marble patio]

it's up to you, you can make a lovey dovey park or kind food stall with cotton candies

[leaden sapphire]

btw ty for the advice, I got some great ideas now!

[twilit lintel]

@supple cipher

[marble patio]

btw ty for the advice, I got some great ideas now!
@leaden sapphire lol you theme reminds of horror house in the middle of the forest

[spark plover]

@willow elm what abt a little smooth bar?

[woven drift]

Iron fence maybe?@woven drift
@lime jasper what were you meaning by iron fence? like the stone iron fence or just iron fence

@twilit lintel Now I want to tour your island 😩
lol how much is a tour?

[leaden sapphire]

I'll add a farm now and in addition to that move all the houses that are made out of materials like concrete into the city. I feel like brick houses can still be inside forests to give a ruin-vibe-ish

[twilit lintel]

@lime jasper what were you meaning by iron fence? like the stone iron fence or just iron fence
@woven drift I don’t charge. I’ll be available later for you to tour. I’ll let you know when.

[limber ginkgo]

I have Ken with Greta's home exterior because it matches Zen fencing better

[marble patio]

I'll add a farm now and in addition to that move all the houses that are made out of materials like concrete into the city. I feel like brick houses can still be inside forests to give a ruin-vibe-ish
@leaden sapphire yeah. they will be the rich country side boys

[willow elm]

@spark plover do you have a reference I can use so I can make that?

[eternal laurel]

Should I add nova lights or hyacinth lamps

[plush atlas]

Hyacinth

[vernal oxide]

Grouped up some places I finished! Top to bottom: entrance, smoothie bar with my orchard and beekeeper place because I like honey in my smoothie, and a pool area 🥰

[plush atlas]

I made sherb a beach house :)

[eternal laurel]

Thank you so much Bella

[plush atlas]

Np

[eternal laurel]

That is so nice for Sherb @Bella

[supple cipher]

Anyone have tips on how to advance quickly after resetting? (i’m okay with time traveling)

[vernal oxide]

@supple cipher what I did was go back 30 days from today as your starting. So as you finish tasks for the day for Nook you can tt forward a day. So by the time you get to normal time you’ll also have a full upgraded nooks

[marble patio]

im planning to build a musical island

[leaden sapphire]

actually I'm moving the hay houses onto the beach, they kinda fit in there too

[marble patio]

do you have any suggest of villagers

[lime jasper]

@twilit lintel I was meaning by the one made with iron nuggets

[leaden sapphire]

however the blocky hay house is staying on the farm

[stuck trail]

@marble patio I actually made a mock island roster for my bf who wanted a music / rock inspired island lol. here were my picks

[soft belfry]

that’s an ultimate band for sure! also does anyone have any bus stop/airport/waiting area inspo?

[junior burrow]

Docks!

[fiery badger]

can I get good tips on picking an island layout thats good for permanent stuff i cant change

[stuck trail]

@fiery badger Really it comes to to river mouths and the Resident Services. You'll have to decide whether or not you want double south rivers - some people love them and some hate them. You'll also want to look for a RS building that's a decent amount of space away from the airport (how much space you need will depend on the type of entrance you want to build).

[twilit lintel]

@twilit lintel I was meaning by the one made with iron nuggets
@lime jasper oh sorry! I was trying to quote to another person and for some reason it quoted you. Sorrrry!!!

[fiery badger]

sweet which would u choose. I was thinking bottom right

[woven drift]

There's a chunk of isolated land in nottom right

[fiery badger]

would be kinda cool for my home spot

[noble monolith]

omg I just picked the first one because I was noob and I regret it

[woven drift]

I think top left would look awesome, but it's your choice

Hmm rip
I wonder what your top left looked like @noble monolith

[fringe garden]

If I were to choose my island layout I would’ve put more thought on the resident services, and longer docks. I just chose randomly.

[twilit lintel]

@noble monolith I have the top left one. I hated it, but I made mine work

[smoky bone]

So proud of my plant house 💞

[stray creek]

i really disliked the island layout i chose but it’s starting to grow on me and i’m making it work

[woven drift]

If I were to choose my island layout I would’ve put more thought on the resident services, and longer docks. I just chose randomly.
@fringe garden Me too haha

[stuck trail]

Aren't all docks the same length??

[brazen silo]

my island layout literally consists of pics i loved from twitter and Pinterest in one but the name makes me regret it :(

[noble monolith]

I started less than a month ago guys btw, any tips on how to get a 3 star?

[fringe garden]

There’s 3 dock sizes I believe

[twilit lintel]

@noble monolith talk to nook and Isabelle. They’ll give you advice I believe.

[noble monolith]

ok tysm

[fringe garden]

I prefer the longest dock you can do a lot with it

[brazen silo]

I started less than a month ago guys btw, any tips on how to get a 3 star?
@noble monolith you can add easy diys all over the island and a bunch of flowers- or bugs and fish you already caught too- that’s how i got 3 stars when i reset my island and redid the entire process

[woven drift]

I made a carnival

how do i make a beach bar? 🤔 idk what items to use for the bar itself lol

[brazen silo]

how do i make a beach bar? 🤔 idk what items to use for the bar itself lol
@woven drift stalls are the base- look up tiki bar designs and customize the stall; colorful flowers once they fully bloomed plant them on the beach- some patio layout path, a radio playing k.k island or anything beach vibe and bam! :D

[woven drift]

thanks @brazen silo !!

what do you think of this layout? is there any way i can improve it?

[brazen silo]

You gotta be proud of the layout that’s what matters most ówò 💗

[woven drift]

My layout is just messy like heck

[stuck trail]

@remote ridge hopefully this isn't a silly question but are you planning to add bridges?

[remote ridge]

i may have possibly forgot those but i think one across the river near the café i’m not sure

[stuck trail]

gotcha. I was thinking one might nice by the campsite as well, or you could just add some hoppy spots in the river if you need to. was just thinking about functionality, I think aesthetically it's great (:

I’m so excited! I finally got a four star island!

[supple cipher]

@remote ridge don’t forget the museum

[remote ridge]

i didn’t forget the museum. it’s in the middle (5C) but thx

[lean light]

I am working on a Tokyo Style Street market so this update makes me very happy

[supple cipher]

Do you guys think Villager’s matter to the aesthetic of the island?

[icy flint]

@supple cipher if you're going for a certain theme than yes it helps

[river cypress]

Diana’s house inspired by @versed wadi c:

[twilit lintel]

@supple cipher their house matters to me personally because it fits into their areas I put them in. But if you’re doing like one residential area, then you can just decorate their yard to match their house.

[clever stream]

Anyone have any ideas on what I can put in this little area?

[woven drift]

Library

[glad crater]

dining library yeah

[woven drift]

My finished Island parts are like a Maze lol

[glad crater]

My bug study

[woven drift]

when your island is finished terraforming but you dont have enough decorations

[icy flint]

was wondering if anyone found any nice stone pattern they've been using tried to look at the path-codes but couldn't find any that looked interesting

[woven drift]

Buy some more i guess

@icy flint if you want Natural stone Codes dm me

[grizzled egret]

i made a bathhouse

[stuck trail]

@icy flint this is in the pins over at #custom-design-help🎨 but I'll post it here - commonly requested designs for paths, shop signs, stalls, etc etc. A lot of requests I see in here are covered in this doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ke40SUrZT9UcJciDjCeV_HZaWGlNuvJhaECfksnbrvQ/edit

[pliant void]

@grizzled egret waaaa your bathhouse is so nice i wanna make one now in the upper left of my island or something

[glad crater]

have yall ever had the problem of not having enough room?

[surreal magnet]

All the time

[pliant void]

hated my layout for a long time bc my town hall is so close to my airport, but im finally loving my entrance:))

[grizzled egret]

i didn’t really make an entrance

[woven drift]

I based my island on a japanese port town, "Yokohama" I made my house like the old house called "an aristocrat's house" or smth like that and the streets are too look like a japanese style allyway or small shop street

[stray creek]

i think i unintentionally have the longest dock size

[icy flint]

@pliant void this was my entrance before i started redoing it

[stray creek]

i didn’t even realize there were different dock sizes

[glad crater]

my entrance is so close to my airport aggh

[icy flint]

And here is the progress (sorry if you’re seeing this again lol)

[glad crater]

town hall i mean

[pliant void]

@icy flint I love that! both of them! mine if you go straight from the dock you run right into the town hall which made having something that i found aesthetically pleasing rly difficult

[grim cosmos]

Different dock sizes? They’re all the same I’m p sure unless you mean peninsula

[bitter inlet]

there’s a small dock and a long dock

[grim cosmos]

Never seen small

[glad crater]

they arree verrry small

[stuck trail]

I can't believe I was today years old when I learned there were different docks sizes... wild

[pearl tulip]

I was making a haunted forest and then wisp appeared 😳

[bitter inlet]

I realized when I went to my friend’s island n saw their tiny dock

[grizzled egret]

this is my “entrance”

[woven drift]

My entrance

[crimson reef]

Anyone have any boujee gold and white areas on their islands? 😅

[woven drift]

I didn’t really plan it out

[bitter inlet]

@grim cosmos here is a shorter one

[shadow horizon]

This is my campsite not complete I just need the mushrooms to complete it

[woven drift]

I love mush furniture

[shadow horizon]

Me to

[woven drift]

Here’s my statue garden

[kindred juniper]

@pliant void wow, that does look good!

[lime basin]

Do you guys like how I made Tex’s house?

[kindred juniper]

It’s not done yet, but I like how this looks so far!

[woven drift]

Aww it’s so cute

[shadow horizon]

That's epic

[woven drift]

I finally like my Island i already had a 5 star Island but it was urban and it wasnt Really for mr so im litterly transforming it into a Cottage Island my entre is already finished and some other Stuff too

[lime basin]

I love it!

[woven drift]

I’m having a hard time with the fence requirement for my cottagey island

[feral zinc]

hi everyone! does anyone have some good shots of a farm/foresty/cottage like shopping area with nook's shop and able sisters? I really don't know what to do with mine... brain empty

[grizzled egret]

what’s the fence requirement

[woven drift]

I think you need some fences to get to five straps
