Would anyone be willing to show me some café ideas?
stone/fairy circle! not mine 💖✨
i am struggling with decorating this area in front of my museum, any ideas?
I set up a little gift shop in front of mine
here’s my fairy circle🧚🏻♀️
How did everyone use their shell items? Images are very much appreciated! 😊🐚
@gentle cove maybe a couple flowers / shrubs in the green areas in front of the deck, and some smaller fossils on top of it?
What did you guys do for you museum please send some pictures for inspiration:3
omg I wanna make a fairy circle after seeing all this ;- ;
Here’s a very basic resident services layout! Dm me if you have ideas for what I should add
@nova quest this is my river crossing because i don't feel like buying a bridge and i put shell arches on either end
Just found out my entrance gave me a whole star! Im now up to 4 stars 
Redid my museum area any thoughts?
does anyone have any suggestions on how i should decorate outside of Roalds house??

If you want an island tour, comment down be...
New front of plaza, i could use amother statue of liberty >_<
😭 thank you @junior burrow this was the next thing that had more of a customization on my island my favorite is my campsite though
NP! i just sent my campsite video if our iterested
it was a mess before lol @ivory trench also i hate the slowmode lol
@woven drift we might have seen the same video! I took inspo from that too, but mainly just the circle part. This is what I did with the circle
@junior burrow this is mine ignore the weeds and that I need to do a bit updating i think
cool!
if u watch my small clip, you will see mine is such a small area lol, but i tried to make it work, let me know what u think@ivory trench
I saw it! I liked it! I don't have that kind of artistic creativity when it comes to terraforming things 😂
Nice area
@hollow leaf, i have a question! How do you obtain these floor lights?????
@wicked halo my museum~
My rock area! (Dont ask where the 6th rock is, gave up on it! It doesnt want to be here lol) 😊❤
from nook shppping 2.2k bells each
Ok!!! Thank you
my museum area--it's simpler than some of the other ones i think, but i like the fountain area and the tiles. i also have some fake warrior statues on little islands to the left and right.
what should I do to this entrance
@nova quest i saw your post with the less decorated area and i gotta say you made some beautiful improvements! it looks great now!
@scenic blaze thanks! 😊
does anyone have good pictures of maps that have multi-layer cliff areas along the outside? i have a village in the middle of my island that i think is basically finished, but most of the north and left are totally bare and not landscaped properly.
what should i add to my entrance um my theme is cute but i also want to use a lot of moon themed things
Would anyone be willing to come to my island and give me some pointers. Dm me and I can explain more what I'm trying to do. Im kinda in a stuck place right now.
what should i add to my entrance um my theme is cute but i also want to use a lot of moon themed things
@pale acorn Nova lights, some benches with flowers around it for like a sitting area outside of the airport?
is there such thing as a stump farm
Anyone have any designs/ideas for a place to put leftover recipes?
What fence should I use for Raymond?
im switching to dirt paths for a more foresty feel but im unsure what to do with the entrance 
Hoenn’s farmhouse + chicken coop
Any entrance inspo that doesn't use cliffs?
https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/hmc7fs/our_kansasthemed_island_design/
This is great
This is my castle area so far... i was wondering if yall could give me some feedback on it.
Does anyone have mini town layouts? Like with mini cars and houses and roads?
Hi
Still in need of help. If anyone has the time to stop by my island and give me some advice dm me
what should I change
I want to have a different bridge for this area. What bridge should I use?
brick bridge?
Ya, I was thinking that or the wooden one.
am i the only one who loves the way the bamboo grass looks
@sterile violet maybe add some bushes or flowers? Maybe hedges
No I love it. Fits perfectly at my campsite
Finished picnic area!! Let me know your thoughts!
how many bridge and incline can we have
Finished picnic area!! Let me know your thoughts!
@wispy tiger Gives me gravity falls vibes. Idk why tho
@frozen plume 8 of each
@wispy tiger the puzzles can be customized! a cool toned design would be really cute here ❤️
what would be a good color roof for a Japanese style house
Finallyyy finished my rock garden <3
I’m trying to make a rock garden. I wanted to know if this would work. Four rocks can spawn in a region/acre, so I wanted to know if those spots are good.
= v= sharing my new island layout!
@solemn needle Looks great!
how can I improve?
@frozen plume Maybe a few flowers? White or black ones would looks nice.
hi can someone help me make a flower garden
@frozen plume I’m not very good at island designing, but maybe some lights? Lanterns maybe?
@midnight yew I can't travel currently, but yes. What is your color scheme on your island?
color scheme?
ty guys!!
@midnight yew Like.. is your island filled with pinks.. blues.. reds.. whites.. or neutral colors?
i think neutral
Ah! So i'd stick to white and orange flowers.. but you can do any colors you please!
Any 1x1 items that would look good in the middle of these hedges?
If you want, you can breed flowers to make certain colors you want. And @glacial crag mhm!
@deannahummus#5855 I think a hyacinth lamp would look cute!!
Here's my house and left part of my entrance. Ignore the flowers on the beach lol...
Any feedback?
@glacial crag Maybe a statue/piece of art?
@glacial crag maybe a black water fountain would be cute! and it adds a nicee bit of sound to the area
Which should I choose? I can't really tell how they'll look when I get there
my precious kitties 💖
Hey guys! I need inspiration for a fountain area. Can you guys send pictures pf yours?
@covert rose I'd say the bottom left. It doesn't have too much water.
Oki
could i visit a cottagecore island?
@covert rose bottom left too, there is a heart pond!
i would like any color i have red black yellow white folowers
I was just about to comment on that XD
XD
XD
I need some ideas for where to put building like shops. Should I put them all together. Or should I scatter them around the island. Same with houses I don’t know if I should put them in one area or should I put them around the island. Please help
When I get terraforming, I'm DEFINITELY making a heart pond.
@wet herald i did a shopping district with nooks and ables and i scattered the villagers houses based on their personalities
thanks guys!! ❤️
@wet herald this is what I did with my shops
@wet herald I'd put the shops in one area and the houses in the other!
@wet herald I scattered them (shops) around my island, but my friend put them together and it looked pretty nice.
someone comment on mine i need approval 
@manic sigil Looks so beautiful!
yay :) thank god
@valid wing it’s a bad picture. This is part of my entrance and I have a fountain with seating!
Okay! Thank you for the feedback everyone!
@vernal oxide better then mine
this is my ables if anyone cares lmaooo
@lime basin> I’m trying to make a rock garden. I wanted to know if this would work. Four rocks can spawn in a region/acre, so I wanted to know if those spots are good.
All 6 rocks can spawn in an acre. You dont have to put them in different acres
@vernal oxide I love it! I really want an area like that, and the flowers are really cool.
@woven drift So cute! I need to craft that wagon soon.
@midnight yew @lime basin thank you thank you!!
@woven drift thank you!!
@vernal oxide no problem
the nooks cranny building is so ugly compared to ables lol
lf rustic campsite inspo
@quaint crow I just searched up how to make one and it said they can’t lol. Thanks!
@woven drift I AGREE-
@vernal oxide that’s really pretty! thanks for the picture
Yeah its a myth. idk why it was made
@valid wing thank you! And no problem!
Here's my entrance (and Filbert) any ideas how to improve it?
Your entrance is so cute!
@hasty oracle Maybe a few lanterns?
The big ones? Cuz I have only them
@hasty oracle star clocks/star nova 🌌
@hasty oracle i love putting the glass candle holders all over the place, it looks great at night!!
I think nova lights or mushroom lamps could look good
That would be all great! But I have nothing of this :p
@hasty oracle you can probably buy some through #furniture-trade or nookazon and I think mush lamps would be cute as well!!
Patty (my villager) just gave me a tube top-
@hasty oracle if you wanna come and catalogue the glass candle holder dm me☺️
Thanks y'all!!! @hoary copper I look if I have them, but thanks so much <3
I Just transformed my campsite: Here is the video! https://youtu.be/2oj2hELMfYU Spent many hours on this! lol, Hope you enjoy! 🙂

Redd’s secret beach in a thunderstorm 🤫

@red frost that might actually help a bit lol ^
Hi! Has anyone seen or done a villagers house surrounded by water? like I little island?
Does anyone have a tropical themed museum area or shopping district
@woven drift ty! Took me dayyyss lolol
@topaz mountain I have not, but that sounds like an amazing idea!
@versed belfry thats so cool what the
@versed belfry AMAZING
looking for some yards. i have Sherb, Cookie, Audie, Dotty, Marshal, Raymond, Merengue, Dom, Molly and Reneigh so if you have them...
u guys have really cool islands my island suck
@midnight yew it takes time
@woven drift right?! I'm trying to find some inspo, but I've only found one photo thats similar to what I'm thinking!
@midnight yew Nah, I had to cut all my tree down to restart. I bet your island looks great!
I just made a trailer for my pride island and thought you might like it 🥰

Any areas with the new mermaid or pirate items?
@topaz mountain If you want, I can look for some photos!
WHY CAN WE ONLY HAVE 8 INCLINES
This is my garden / pond area, the trees are still growing. Any ideas?
@woven drift if you don't mind? I'm sure there's some on reddit or something but I'm not really great at finding images at all!
@placid sandal I LOVE IT
Left or right. The light
@woven drift thats looks cool
@frozen plume right👍
@woven drift put a few ducks
man i love how waterfalls look but i hate the constant noise lmao
just made a little park and maple already adores it!
I’m looking for ideas for any of these villagers yards: Judy, Beau, Flurry, Roald, Tangy, Marshall, and Bob! 😊 Please lmk any!
@frozen plume right👍
@hoary copper ty!
@placid sandal Holy crap!! I loved it so much!! Good job!!
Some alternate views of Redd’s beach. Hopefully it helps with some ideas!
@topaz mountain I found this.. It's as close as possible to what you described. I found this picture on Pinterest!
@silent sluice Think of what their houses look like, and what they like. Bob has a lot of that kiddie furniture, so maybe put some of that stuff outside?
@lime basin ty!
@silent sluice For Bob, how about a jungle gym? Since he's the childish type.
@silent sluice A lot of ppl do celeste items for Judy's yard and an orchard for Tangy (: I've also seen cafe items for Marshal's yard
@woven drift thank you! It's really close to what I'm thinking!
@woven drift and @stuck trail thank you!! Those are great ideas 😊
No problem.
my progress from last night at the hospital (my thought process was if im suffering lemme suffer more with terraforming) waiting for some furniture to arrive and ill be good to decorate!
@frozen plume right light :3
@icy flint That looks stunning!
Can some people show me what they did to decorate around their plaza, mainly the front, cuz I have no idea what I wanna do for mine 😭
@icy flint i hope you're okay! that looks amazing!!
@icy flint looks gorgeous!! Hope you are doing better today!
@vernal iron My trees haven't grown, but gladly!
would anyone let me come to their island for like 10 seconds? i want to see what my island flyover looks like
@topaz mountain a little late but this is what i’ve done (took inspo off instagram). this is where poppy, filbert and soon static live😌
Does anyone have an idea for a tropical museum or an able sisters and nooks cranny area
thank ya! also trying to get zucker to try to complete my cove! and ty last night i was driving from work and a car drove through a red thank god i was in the backroads so they were only going around 30 and not 50
You can put stars on trees?!
with hacks @fair dock
@fair dock its a hack
Oh, Wah. cba to do that then
@woven drift thank you!! what a good idea!! I've been playing around with some idea that aren't working! This is really close to what I was thinking!
@vernal iron this is kinda my entrance and the front of my town hall since mine is super close
@woven drift I have a Shopping Center / Market! It's an area with a couple of stalls on the way and a sign labeled 'Market'
isnt the hack just burying star fragments instead of bells into the golden hole?
i dont really think its a hack more of buying star fragments in a golden hole
@icy flint oohh thats pretty
@vernal iron heres what i have around my Resident Services
@vernal iron not done yet but here’s what I put in front of my plaza!
idk @woven drift i've never tried it personally
@soft plaza omg! that’s gorgeous 😍
@woven drift no its a modified money tree, they make it so the money on a money tree is the star fragments
Anyone have any restaurant inspo!
@soft plaza so it doesnt disrupt ur save game? i wanna do it but i dont want to lose progress
@wispy tiger Awwhh I love the idea of having little areas for different things
Can anyone help me with a cool name for my island?
@covert rose What is your theme going to be?
@woven drift You can buy them in the restricted trade area, though do that at your own risk, you need to have a modified normal nintendo switch to the thing
Ummm. I don't really think that far ahead lol
@vernal iron thank you!!
What do you think it should be, I have a hard time with this stuff >.<
@covert rose the coolest island names imo are ones that fit the island's theme, so you may want to choose a theme before you choose the name (:
@covert rose Oh! Try to think of something that could branch out to all topics then!
@covert rose i named mine eroda cause i love harry styles, that was kinda my thought behind it, i didnt think too much, go with something that you like, it doesnt have to be perfect
This picnic area is missing something plz help!!
@covert rose I named mine Rat land- Probably a mistake. uwu
My sister is obsessed with him and now I'm gonna send that to her XD
@woven drift the star fragment trees will not destroy your save file. only bridge or building kit trees might damage it because your game is confused as to why you have more kits than there are available. also only modded/hacked switches who spawn these items get banned from playing. someone who gets a tree from a hacker and has them on their island won’t do anything. no worries!
I need village layout ideas... why is figuring out layout so difficult lol
@hoary copper my picnic area has a book and some shoes to make it feel more "lived-in". you could also add some shrubs in the back (:
named mine ozark because my sis was watching it and i didn't know of a better name wish i can change it tho
@hoary copper A FEW LANTERNS-
I still need to add some furniture to it, but how does it look?
Anyone have any restaurant/ boardwalk restaurant layouts?
@woven drift sorry for all the questions but if i plant a star fragment tree myself is it okay?
I love fairy tail ( the anime) so I could go with that kind of theme
@lime basin It looks great so far! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
@trim hearth draw or use the island planners in the pinned section, its better to have an idea of what to do that go in blind
@woven drift i’m happy to answer☺️ you can’t plant star fragments and expect a tree to grow from it. they’re strictly hacked items and not available naturally
@trim hearth if you've planning to have a structured neighboorhood, here's some simple but nice options
@covert rose if there are any place names from shows/movies you've watched that you like, you can use those. I've seen a lot of people use pokemon town names, etc. Or just a word that sounds aesthetically pleasing. I named my island Tenroujima, based on the island from Fairy Tail lmao bc I wanted to do a Japanese theme, but ended up changing my theme 🤷♀️ it's still a cute name tho
Omg I should name it Tenrou Island
@soft plaza Thanks! I definitely started setting everything up without a plan aaaaannnd now I have regrets lol
@woven drift ohh okay ty, how do i get them from someone?
Lmao ^_^ I hope it fits
@stuck trail i think for coco ima do half library and half pottery class
@icy flint That sounds great and suits her!
@woven drift i got mine from the ac black market discord (: they’re around 50-80nmts each depending on the seller
@icy flint that sounds adorableee pottery is perfect for coco
can someone help me out with a flower garden
@woven drift thank youu
Any ideas for improving my campsite?
Ima name it TenrouIsle because TenrouIsland doesn't fit... rip
she's one of my favs but haven't thought of what to do for her yet but i think thats a good idea for now and maybe i'll think of something better when its her turn
Yeah I'll do that
I’m building a Boardwalk fair/carnival. Any suggestions/input? Would appreciate it so much
Thx guys ^_^
@warm dew Looks great! Maybe a few tables with chairs?
Any ideas for improving my campsite?
@wet herald add some woods on the floor and the clothelsine maybe ?
@warm dew try to spread the furniture around and add some seating areas and blank spaces, when there are too much furniture it can look a bit cluttered, also try to expand a bit either into the beach or into the grass more to give extra walking area
@covert rose Tomorrow when your airport opens, I can fly over there and give you a few things to get you started! Like, a vaulting pole and maybe a ladder.
I’m at work for another 4 ish hours but once I come back I’m looking to do some bug hunting. Does anyone have lots of palm trees I can hunt on? It has to be northern hemisphere and between 5pm-8am
May i please see you guys villager yard designs?
@fervent gate I don't have yard designs yet, BUT I do have some reference pictures!
@fervent gate this is the area I have my lazy villagers
@fervent gate Here I Sherb’s house! (Sorry for the weird quality picture lol)
@lapis fog try #690093605821480980 #mysterybags-and-yardsales
Thank you guys very much!
What’s everyone’s opinion on dirt under flowers versus without?!
Hi guys can u send pictures of what you did with your beaches or just pictures you used as inspiration : )
(When I remove the rock) What should I use this spot for? It’s right behind my rock garden, and next to my bamboo area.
@lime basin maybe a library or school? I think also a band area if you don’t already have one
Looking for ideas to improve my OUTDOOR restaurant
@limpid chasm this is what i did with part of mine
I LOVE the library idea! Thanks @wispy tiger!
@wispy tiger i personally prefer dirt but it depends on the area
@teal ermine ooo this is really pretty, thank you!
@wispy tiger I love dirt under flowers esp if I'm placing them in yards or a garden! Only thing is it makes the map look weird
no problem and thank you!
@warm dew i love this and i would 100% do it but i have 5 lazy villagers. 😔
redoing my entire island for the 3rd time 😼
Once I’m out I’m gonna send pics of my beaches lol and @woven drift and that’s on lazy being the best personality ; )
@limpid chasm they're all so cute lmao
@woven drift 5) @plain forge thanks so much!! I think I’m going to do dirt even though it will be a pain to dig up all of my flowers again lol
@light timber Maybe some kitchen items? Like a stove or a sink? Those diner seats might look good too.
@lime basin kk ty
@lime basin glad I could help!! Good luck!!
This is beach area 1 that I wanna change, any ideas? I’ll send 2 in a sec
@light timber stall, menu, kitchen items, maybe a different fencing? I associate the one you have with yards too much, but that's just my opinion!
@plain forge have anything I can buy off of you?
And this is beach area 2, any ideas guys? I’m thinking maybe white wood planks and a cute beach bar instead of this tacky one
@light timber you can get other fencing diys from the nook machine in RS! I'm not on my switch atm :( you can maybe also try #furniture-trade or #diy-trade :)
Ok ty
So I ended up putting fauna on her own little island, I haven’t decorated but there’s a bridge connected to the right. Anyone have any suggestions with decorations? Behind her is also a little section!
hii does anyone know a beach themed villager?
@minor silo Audie is a popular one. is there a particular personality you need?
hmmm no just wondering lol
Check out my zoo island! Complete with Tower of Terror!
https://youtu.be/PnwU9J9Aq-g
Have you ever wanted to go to a zoo where blood-thirsty creatures roam freely and food is but a figment of your imagination? Well then, you have come to right place! At the A-land Zoo and Resort we have animals deprived of sustenance due to budget cuts, Animal-themed hotels wi...
Anyone have some good pool area ideas?
@minor silo There's also Canberra and O'Hare off the top of my head... there are many that are beach themed haha
can someone come and critic my island ?
thank you!!
Anyone have any idea for the red area on my island?
@minor silo Canberra also has a beachy house
Hi does anyone have any ideas for a good entrance space? I only have 10 spaces in between my air port and town hall its also uneven by a lot.
Oh ope I repeated what @stuck trail said LOL
@minor silo O'Hare is kinda beach themed lol, I didn't really like him when I had him but I loved his house interior
anyone have any island ideas ?
@earnest galleon theres a list of a ideas in the pinned section!!
@woven drift this is my pool area!
can i see your guys meusuem areas 🥺
hii does anyone know a beach themed villager?
@minor silo June is a good tropical island villager too!
@vernal oxide hey how do u get the different coloured pools I just have the grey stone one
@limpid chasm so is audie
@rich summit this is my museum! The last picture looks the same on the other side (an incline up to a beach)
ooh okay thank you!
very cute thank youuu c:
@limpid chasm you can trade with others. It depends on the one that’s in your ABD which is specific to your island.
@limpid chasm you can trade with others. It depends on the one that’s in your ABD which is specific to your island
@vernal oxide ah right okay, so the one in my abd never changes?
is any of u guys good at building flower gardens if so can u help me make one
@limpid chasm no it doesn’t change, you’d have to trade with someone. So here’s a picture to better explain. The top ones are color coordinated with your airport the rest are random!
@vernal oxide ah okay thank you! I never knew any of this
Does anyone have or know of a viking/scandinavian themed island I could peek at? I am trying to get some new ideas for mine!
@midnight yew I'm not good at it but I got inspo from these, not mine
What kind of tables would be good to use for my library?
thx
@lime basin I used the tea table diy (I think that’s what it’s called)and antique table to go with the rattan chairs
@lime basin the log ones is always good. And the low oval table. I used different ones on mine
Thank you guys!
Check out my zoo island! Complete with Tower of Terror!
https://youtu.be/PnwU9J9Aq-g
@split oak this is very cute and the commentaries are funny
has anyone tried a town/wilderness theme or has inspo pics of some? please dm me if you do! struggling to find a natural-looking balance lol. i really like town/suburbish looks but i want to incorporate the natural island look too
@lavish monolith THIS IS GORGEOUS
Anybody wanna show me how you used your mermaid stuff?
@lavish monolith hi would you be able to send the custom designs for the sofas and carpet? Thank you🥺
@paper stag Heres my forest area
built this waterfall area behind resident services. any ideas on how to make it look nice? trees wont fit so im thinking a palm tree lamp but idk what else to put
@stuck relic shrubs!!
If anyone has a similar map layout to mine (which is the one pictured) can you post a picture of your maps. I need help :((
@stuck relic try looking into the cliff tree glitch if you want some trees up there
Does anybody have cherry
@soft plaza omg that looks so nice!! what kinda theme is the rest of your island?
thanks yall!
@limpid chasm the sofa design is either from the base customize designs or the ones from sable
@stuck relic this is what I do: shrubs lanterns and log stakes!
@paper stag most of my town is just fairycore thats been overgrown with weeds and trees every where
thank u! i used some log stakes and lanterns in another area, i think it would look nice there as well.
@limpid chasm Nevermind, this is the correct one :)
@soft plaza ohh okay, are you able to get 5 stars with that? i love having weeds and i've hit 5 stars previously so i might just give up on star rating haha
weeds dont affect the rating
@lavish monolith thank you so much!
oh what okay that's good to know haha
@stuck trail @twilit lintel i finally got some simple panels for my airport hq but can't seem to find any codes for the airport design
I hit 200 hours in animal crossing!!
@paper stag I think weeds do affect eating after 100 weeds or something like that...I would check out the data mine for island rating for more info
Does anyone know any good white beach plank designs? I’m not sure I like these
@icy flint there's this but idk if that's what you're looking for. have you tried asking in #custom-design-help🎨 ?
@stuck trail yeah i tried a last night and earlier today but ima try again soon
@limpid chasm you might be able to get a couple from #custom-design-help🎨
which bridge for my neighborhood entrance? i’m thinking diagonal :p
Diagonal
@icy flint tbh I haven't ever seen anyone else do an airport command center so you might have to get crafty and try to make some yourself 😩
and yes i still have to fix the river :p !!
I like diagonal because it gives it more dimension!! But I’m sure whatever you end up going with with look great!
anyone have a pastel island, any colour really or possibly a pink themed island that i could take some inspiration from? i have no idea how to fill my island D):
@stuck trail so a new batch of coffee and the designer app im assuming?
tree glitch worked! thanks @soft plaza
Building a natural/jungle island and curious which plants and colors people think look good together. Not using Roses or Tulips. Curious people’s favorite combos
Idk how people do it with those intricate designs, are they rly using the same designer app as us 😤
@sharp gust maybe this video will help: https://youtu.be/oMNyiX29mfo
I’m sure there’s plenty on YouTube!!
Today we tour what might be the cutest pink pastel five star island I have seen! Check out our other Animal Crossing 5 Star Island Tours as well! Do you have a 5 star island you want us to tour? Join our Discord!

@devout stirrup honestly you could make any color work but I've seen a couple people doing mum/lily combos lately and I think that could look so tropical and gorgeous. colors like red, orange, yellow, and green come to mind when I think of tropical islands
@vernal oxide thank you so much 😄
Tbh same. I took a picture of just my gaming name “ENVY” from snap and did the converting website and it looked horrible 😂
@eleanorharper._#1179 no problem!
I know it's not much but this is a WIP area;
The destination post is super great if you have seperate pathways leading to other areas.
The left side leads to the swamp/redd, the right side leads to Cashmere and Dobie's retirement home.
(i wanted to take a pic anyways since I found it cute. lol)
I might add more green mums here and there, if they ever copy themselves. lol
How does it look so far?
(there r 2 orchids bc idk where to put it also the cliff is a work in progress)
Thanks @stuck trail. I have a fair amount of Mum and Lily hybrids so I’ll see what I like 😁
Woah! That looks so pretty!
Nice butterfly shape. :) I hope you recreate it well in-game!
Woah! That looks so pretty!
Nice butterfly shape. :) I hope you recreate it well in-game!
@fringe heron i hope it goes well :)
that butterfly is superb!
I hope so too. It looks so beautiful!! 
that butterfly is superb!
@bitter valve tysm!
Anyone have any outdoor arcade examples?
sorry for the noob question but what's the best way to design your island? all my buildings/houses are scattered throughout my island making it difficult to plan and decorate without spending a lot of bells on moving buildings around. any tips?
little concert thing i finished ft bunnie in the bg, anything else i could do to make it nicer?
wow it’s gorgeous!
@weak totem not mine but here’s an example! If you search “in:island-layouts has: image: arcade” you can see more pictures!!
new entrance
@ashen hull theres a bunch of websites in the pinned section that allows you to design an island similar to the one you have!!
@vernal oxide thank you! ill check it out
Anyone know what else I could add to my disco?
sorry for the noob question but what's the best way to design your island? all my buildings/houses are scattered throughout my island making it difficult to plan and decorate without spending a lot of bells on moving buildings around. any tips?
@ashen hull im using the website happy island designer
@ashen hull also! It’s much easier to design your island if you place the buildings along the beach!
throwing pirate stuff in the city
Anyone know what else I could add to my disco?
@weak totem can i have the code for the flooring, that looks really cool
Does anyone here have a canal on their island? If so please send inspo I’m struggling!
@vernal oxide good idea. i wish there was a sandbox mode. it's hard to tell what will look good!
can someone help me? ): i don’t know what else to add to my cake shop
@ashen hull hahah I agree. I’m changing my new island for 3rd time 😂 and I’m realizing I don’t have enough room for everything
@desert ice I think a little coffee table in between the couches with coffee cups and saucers would look amazing!
sorry for asking here but i had no luck with the code request channel or any other channel but has anyone use a window pattern design for a simple panel?
@desert ice maybe add another stall with espresso machine? A low table in between the couches with another cake or a mug?
@vernal oxide oh man! i just beat the story a week or two ago so i'm just overwhelmed with all the possibilities! i start on my entrance and then get an idea for the museum and then i want to build a cliff diving ramp etc.
@icy flint I used this one. I think you’ve seen the picture of my library? That’s where I used it
@vernal oxide ty and yeah i saw it a few time lol and im looking for like a one piece window since i feel like your window design wouldn't go along with the command center for the airport
@ashen hull haha my entrance is long 😂
@icy flint well as @stuck trail said you might just have to create one 🤷🏽♀️
guess so lol im just looking for some patterns to see if like one or if ill go off of their design and how they made theres
@wispy tiger wasn’t exactly sure if you were looking for something specific with a canal, but there’s some pictures if you search “in:island-layouts has: image: canal” in the top right!
@icy flint if you have pinterest, theres a bunch there. Im not sure what style in particular you want.
marshal sitting in his yard 🥺💛
@lavish monolith might just google it and if it takes me to pinterest ill see
what chair do yall think would go well with the cancer table? Making a beachside ice cream shop
@icy flint did you try searching through the #custom-design-help🎨 ? If you use the top right search bar there were all kinds of windows and airport designs
I’m really proud of how the outside of my house looks
@icy flint idk if this has been answered but if you go to the pins in #custom-design-help🎨 there's a Google doc of commonly requested designs, including windows
Hey all! I Could really use some help on designing my island. I did a little terraforming, but not much. I honestly pushed it off to the side, ive just been focusing on turniping and villager trading, but im ready to start designing and i have no clue where to start sobsobsobsob i even tried that design app thing and like idkkk. I just need help. Sorry!! sobsobsobsob
is this an ok sized garden so it can fit a house and flowers?
Do u guys think the ranch/log furniture or rattan furniture would look better here for a beach cafe?
@surreal goblet yes it can fit a house and gardens perfectly! You may need to squeeze in chairs and what not if u plan to add those
@rustic oracle I had that problem a few days ago! I started on my enterance first and just work your way into your island, i'm currently working on the villager area which I think is one of the first things since it is mandatory, that and the shops
does anyone have a multi-story campsite? i don’t want to make mine just flat but have some trouble figuring out how to start
@surreal goblet yes it can fit a house and gardens perfectly! You may need to squeeze in chairs and what not if u pla to add those
@round sierra thank you!
@kind grove I do! Let me run over to it, I’m not finished decorating it yet
@fervent flax its so hard haha! But yes i started with my entrance as well. Mm good idea, ill start trying to place my villager homes where i want and then the shops or vice versa.
@kind grove im probably getting rid of the planks lol and need to decorate around the actual campsite
@icy flint to make it easier for u here: https://m.imgur.com/gallery/kqIG8Dx
@limpid chasm looks great so far! thanks for sharing 🙂
I had an awkward piece of beach by the entrance so I turned it into a mermaid spa!
@woven drift this is my entrance! In between the top and bottom is a fountain with seating
Does anyone have an outdoor boutique or shop I can look at for inspo 👀
a wip temple/ruins theme area for my house
Do you have any entrance that is near the residence center? Unfortunately mine is so close to the airport
@woven drift here is my entrance! I have the community center to the right so I decided on this
where do y’all keep your bugs and fish for flick and cj ? i want an aesthetic way
@vernal oxide ty and yeah i saw it a few time lol and im looking for like a one piece window since i feel like your window design wouldn't go along with the command center for the airport
@icy flint this is technically a mirror but it should work

@atomic glen Yes please!!
this is flo’s house 🥺 i didn’t have enough space for a full lawn so i just put some cute flowers that matched her roof and a blue bike to match the flowers. i tried putting some “flower” designs on the empty spaces since i can’t put actual furniture down due to the house dimensions
What do you guys think of this area? It’s the most recent thing I’ve built
@woven drift Very cute! I love it 🥰
Pirate shack for my pirate villager. This update was so helpful!
Any ideas on how I should decorate Fauna’s yard?

Which dividers do you guys think looks better, the hedges on the left or the bushes on the right?
hedges
@vale cargo Ik the pain here’s mine
@scarlet sonnet thank you ❤️❤️❤️ it's really sucks that i didn't know having that residence close to airport will hinder my entrance designs haha
Hey guys! redid my entrance today! not done but i hope you all like it!
@vale cargo ikr me too!! But I’ve grown to love it not many people can get such a short entrance and mine finally fits my theme, hope you eventually love yours too!! ☺️
LF: someone to join a voice call with and have them tour my island
@winged steppe lemme try to get my last items and ill join your island
How do i make this river look more natural
does anybody have an entrance that utilises statues and white flowers?
@raw sorrel more curves and make some areas more narrow than other
^ try to avoid large perfect edges
@opal flicker this is my entrance it doesn't have much of white flowers but with adding more white items it could work smoothly
ty
anyone got a butterfly garden for inspiration
What do you guys think are the most popular island themes? I just restarted my island and I’m not sure what direction I want to go in.
@stray egret cottagecore, Japanese theme, modern.
most popular probably cottagecore, Japanese
🤔cottagecore/fairycore and japanese city probably
still a wip but any suggestions on my entrance?
@icy flint @cold crow @woven drift hows this?
its really cute and open @noble ice
@raw sorrel yeah in my opinion looks way more natural
@stray egret I am doing a Japanese theme if u want to see some pictures DM me😊
Tysm :)
maybe try to add a bump or two by the beach the lower bottom
hmm i was thinking maybe i could do like a haunted fairytale kind of island
@opal flicker thankyou
what items would you say go well with a gothic quarters type beat :(( struggling to stick to my only black theme
What do u think?
@noble ice whats the code for the dirt border that you used?? And it looks great 🙂
maybe try to add a bump or two by the beach the lower bottom
@icy flint alright thanx
@daring epoch
Anyone have a idea for the red area on my island? Idk what to put there atm😅

What can I put here? (it's small bakery/restaurant wip)
Y’all islands are so cute while mine looks like trash 😂

Ikr
Does anyone have any ideas for my island layout? I’m not very good at this 😂😂
Tyvm! I was planning to make a little money island there but I don't have golden can yet :'D
Cottagecore
a lUCKY cAT-
What else should I add to my (wip) Rock Garden?
Looking to see a Japanese theme island
@wispy jay a boardwalk? With stalls and seating? Maybe a bike rack?
I'd rather just buy some gold roses from nookazon than looking for a lucky cat tbh-
do y’all know if there are any matching items to the pink blossoming kimono?
@woven drift ok, thank you!
@lavish monolith I was thinking a boardwalk but idk what furniture to put, I'm going for a white theme
do y’all know if there are any matching clothing items to the pink blossoming kimono?
Someone help me out my island is boring and I don’t know where to put road
@fresh meadow You could maybe put roads starting from your airport, go to resident services, all the houses and stores, etc.
anyone have a carnival theme island I can come visit for inspiration?
@lime basin yeah but I feel like I’ll mess up and it’ll end up horrible
@wispy jay you can probably go with log seating, even rattans
@lavish monolith I actually might try that, thx for the help😄😄
Does anyone have an idea for a tropical museum or able sisters with nooks cranny shopping area
@fresh meadow experiement what works with you. Take themes as an example and base stuff off of it
what can I put here-
a shell fountain? @maiden hedge
Ooo that's a nice idea, tyvm!
Ok I’ll try I kinda want like a pinkish theme with a lot of like moons and stuff and peach trees and pastel colors
What else should I add to my (wip) Rock Garden?
@stuck trail here's my attempt at a custom sunny one piece window for my airport command hq
@stuck trail oopsie couldn't send 2 pics at a time
I tried a carnival theme but it didn’t work out obviously
@fresh meadow i think the natural durt path (dark version) would really fit
Ok thanks
@fresh meadow That would be a good place to put some paths.
i can find the custom codes for you if you want?
Sure tysm
Pretty proud of this
You guys are so much better at this than I will ever be lol 😂
@lime merlin I’m more focused on your outfit lol. It looks really cool!
Any ideas on how to design the back half? I want a big flower garden and orchard but can’t decide how to arrange it
Thanks lol it is just straight from Gulliver
Ooooh
@twilit nimbus omg UR ISLAND IS ADORABLE!🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 I’m jealous
@twilit nimbus your island is so creative!!
do y’all know if there are any matching clothing items to the pink blossoming kimono?
hibiscus hairpin ^
@void bluff pink shoes..? Lol idk
yeah but which-
Shouldn't this be in outfit showoff?
@fresh meadow Thank you!!!
i know there are kimono shoes as well.
@muted trellis which! :OO
In the eyes of god (the animal crossing comunity) is it ot to tt while moving a lot of buildings?
@void bluff
@jovial fern thank you!!
What should I add to my (wip) Rock Garden?
In the eyes of god (the animal crossing comunity) is it ot to tt while moving a lot of buildings?
@winged steppe this server has a dupe trade section so it is obviously up to you how purist you wanna be
Any ideas on how to make this better
could someone help me? I want to make my lsland look pretty but I don’t know what to do. I could use some advice
What should I add to my (wip) Rock Garden?
@lime basin I would make it sand and add the sand patterns to it but that's just me
Please I need help
@lime merlin Rocks can spawn on sand so it needs to be a hard surface for it to not spawn.
I’m looking for ideas for a forest campsite area? Does anyone have any photos of their campsite for inspiration!!
@lime merlin Rocks can spawn on sand so it needs to be a hard surface for it to not spawn.
@lime basin I know, if you add the rock garden custom paths that are all over these servers, it will block off the spots
@fresh meadow Maybe use the log sofa and log chairs. and segment off the room a little to have more "areas" and look less random.
Okay, I do like the path that it’s like already though.
@muted trellis ok thanks
Anyone have any island theme suggestions
@swift mesa
Yeah my island needs a theme too and I have no ideas that’s why it’s so random
@fresh meadow My island doesn’t really have a theme lol.
@lime basin Okie but like you sound like you know what ur doing so it’s probably really good
Lol kinda. But compared to other island, mine looks like trash.
Mine are is actual trash
@twilit nimbus did you just use sand and dirt paths? Or were they custom?!
@swift mesa They are the dirt and dark dirt paths from island designer
Light dirt and dark dirt
@vestal quest What do you like? Many people do cottagecore, cute, Japanese, modern/city, etc. Depends on what you vibe with.
@plain forge I like like pinkish with moons and stars and peach trees and little cafes idk
Kinda happy w how my campsite turned out so I thought I would share
I just want to share my Wedding Season journey, First photo is June 1, second is June 30. Lmao
Wow 😳
Hi everyone! Wondering if there’s anyone with a cute eclectic island I can tour! Or if someone can come to mine to give feedback. Needing inspo 🥺🙏🏼 Currently in a creative rut while terraforming! 😭
so I’ve been working on my museum all day and wanted it to look like ruins...any feedback? I want to add Stonehenge in the background to finish it off but that’s gonna take forever 💀
redid my entrance today because i wanted a bridge there 🌲
@fresh meadow you can definitely work with that! there are a lot of cute furniture, and the celeste items (moon, crescent chair, nova light, etc) goes well with the cute theme
@plain forge Okie dokie and I will also make a lot of waterfalls
Big thanks to everyone who I traded flowers with to finish my pride flower flag!
Where do u get daisies I wanna get em for my island there so cute
Today I started working on an area for my favorite villager Gala, it's still a WIP but I'm pretty proud of it 👉 👈
Any ideas on how to make a cute pool area?
@fresh meadow what type of pool are you trying to use?
Just like you know the normal one I really want to get a hot tub
Idk it’s like brownish...?
@fresh meadow you can try to use a custom path for the tiles, palm tree lights, pink and white vending machines (would need to trade with others if that's not in your RS nook machine)
Ok thanks for the ideas the only ones I have are blueish
LF ideas for beaus yard! Please lmk some 😊
Can a few people share how they have their villager houses laid out? I have mine set up but considering changing it
@shrewd condor here's a few I have!
https://twitter.com/ChiefACNH/status/1280182184586825738?s=20
Someone help
Idk where to put the inclines
@shrewd condor my map at the top left shows how i have my villagers arranged~
Pretty proud of my entrance ☺️
finally finished my airport command center! took some time tryna make the sunny window pattern! but i love how it turned out - the airport is right underneath this as well
Updated island map 🗺
mothra is hacking this is fake

jk i luv it and luv u 2
Did ya see my new area tho (four pics, click if using mobile) https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1280632699951001601?s=21
is it possible to build a bridge over 5 spaces? and if i did that, built a bridge horizontally in front of the museum entrance, would it look off?
jeez i remember when you sent us pics but a lot of stuff changed it looks so sick and beautiful
that looks absolutely amazing omg
It took like a week of torture bc I’m good with plants and bad with furniture so I crafted 8 million things and threw out 7 million
My entrance can only be simple because my rs is very close to airport
if you hate terraforming clap your hands 👏 👏
no but fo real terraforming could be a bit better but you guys got it!!
Terraforming is not hard just time consuming
Its hard too though atleast for me
its pretty much just pixel art on three layers
I clapped so hard I broke my hand
sorry is that a creative person thing I can't understand wulf? Lol
@icy flint What path code is that?
Can you guys give me advice for how to decorate fauna’s yard?
this is my map layout after being done with terraforming marina's and the the airport place lol
I've torn up my island like at least 3 times I wanna cry
LF beachside gym inspiration!
@wispy jay lemme find it
@icy flint okie
@wispy jay i think i deleted it from my recents but i found it in the pinned messages for most common paths
@woven drift Its best to do any largescale terraforming projects with a plan either drawn out or using the island planners in the pinned, much like writing or illustration, create a plan and outline of what you want to do first, going in blind is only gonna cause more issues down the line
@icy flint oh okie, thx again😄
I mean that's what I'm doing got three fuggin island planner sights with all my work I'm just tired cause the longer I stare the more I'm like....nah it could be btr
or be dumb as me and just yolo it and cry half way through and then get ice cream and suck it up and somehow finish it break of dawn
or be dumb as me and just yolo it and cry half way through and then get ice cream and suck it up and somehow finish it break off dawn
@icy flint this person knows the struggle
Honestly some are good at planning it, others are good at winging it. At least we can all say terraforming is a bitch but we love it
Spending a couple hours planning is still better than redoing your island every 3 days
I've been able to make nice areas without planners and I know others who didn't need to use them to do their island
Remember the three stages to island design:
- planning: excitement
- execution: despair
- you done did it
tbh if you see my island pictures i did everything without planning
I’m definitely a planner but I draw on my map with Paint, I can’t do the grids
see i feel like i would have to have started using it when i first got the game because im so deep into this game with terraforming it would take me 1 week to make it on a planner or paint
Some find it more helpful personally I just stare at the designer with no clue what to do lol
Okay I could realllyyyyyyyy use some nice people to help me out with my layout please please please I can send a pic of my map rn
@swift palm If you have no idea on what to do with the designer try using paper and pencil first, my first plan was using a postit note to get the general layout
Joycon drift is the bane of my terraforming existence
i didnt have joycon drift until the day i unlocked terraforming and it all went downhill from there
I bought new joycons and they improved my terraforming immensely
LF: a Japanese theme island with roads
Any suggestions for this space in front of Ables and Nooks
help: i want a super over dramatic, extraordinary, climactic extravaganza entrance to my house on the island. inspo pls :•)
Thoughts on Beaus yard so far? Please lmk what else I should add, because I feel like it’s still empty
Happy with the result so far with the lanterns
So I just started and am only on my 3rd day but I really want to have a plan before I get alot further and unlock terraforming/villager houses....ive used the island designer website along with the island planner website but for some reason my brain is horrible trying to plan this out unlike some of y'all's talented creative minds...I have alot of ideas from here and Pinterest but when it comes to my personal island I just get clueless🥵 so please anyone if you can help me out in any way I'm not even sure how I'd be so sooooo grateful
what should i put here? i already have 2 restaurant areas and a movie theater, i was thinking arcade but idk?
@split dagger I think it’s good to first establish what theme you’re going for then u can work off of that
Planning a bit of my island - specifically my rock area. Trying to get the 6th rock to fit on this naturally-shaped island but I can't figure it out because... water. Suggestions?
@kell i had the same island layout as you when i first started and what i did would you like some inspo from what i did? (my island isn't 5 star but it's 4 and its still a wip)
oof i was typing something else and i didn't delete all the way
Anyone have an Island layout similar to mine? (this is an old photo btw) Preferably one with a similar town hall location. Please drop you maps for inspo I’m struggling ;-;
@vocal wren omg I'd loveee some!! Seriously anything helps!!
cool! i'll send my map and a few of my favorite spots
@vocal wren ah thank you so much!
does anyone have an island inspo pinterest board? if so can i have ur @ ??
hi, so this is my island layout & i like how it looks but i wanna move the houses of my villagers & i have no idea how to make them look neat :/
@slender torrent I know I definitely want to stick with a more natural theme however that's what I did on my other island but it just hasn't come together due to my inability to plan out a layout even on paper or online like idk why i can't do this im annoyed w myself I just want a layout 😭😂😂
entrance to my stargazing spot- my most recent space
@split dagger I started around a week ago and am fairly new aswell. We should play together sometime! Whats ur friend code?
@vocal wren ooh I really love how you did the water!!!!
@split dagger awe that sucks 😭 I wish u luck tbh I’m sorta bad at planing my island out so I can’t be much help my apologies!
@woven drift some people really prefer a scattered look to their villagers! more space for yards haha. are you looking for something more structured?
my stargazing spot
what i did was i planned out where i was gonna put stuff on a sheet of paper
i think there's a website where you can design your island layout somewhere
Anyone have any dive spots? I wanna build one but idk where to put it.
@stuck trail yesss
hi everyone.. so I don't like my entrance, there's just something that is not adding up and idk what it is, I tried to make it as symmetrical as possible and succeeded but it's... idk it just doesn't seem welcoming and like whenever people come they get confused which way to go and the small waiting areas you see are useless and taking up so much space, i love the idea of what I tried to make, I just hate how it turned out to be but idk if it's because I did it that i see it as something ugly or if it's actually just kinda meh, what are you guys' opinion, pls lmk what you would do different
@torn geode id make the island a bit bigger, you need the space for the diagonal bridge (takes 4 spaces, you only have 2 connecting to it on the island) and that should solve the rock issue by giving you more room to work with
@woven drift these are some options for really simple and functional structured neighborhood layouts that you could put your own spin on (:
@amber shale that's absolutely beautiful! i haven't really done anything for an enterance because my resident services building is so close to my airport but i'm trying to work something out
@stuck trail thank you sm!🤍
my resident services is close to my airport but i made it work i think!!
@vocal wren my resident services is also close for the things i wanted to do so I just tried to do something "simple" I but that it caught the attention, it just simply doesn't sit right with me, I love big waterfalls and like super extra entrances but I don't have the space for what I want so decided to do this and I liked it for a second but now idk
@vital flame really cute tbh 😊 I think white streetlamps will give it a cute vibe at nighttime
@amber shale I think it looks nice! If its the visitor confusion that's bothering you, maybe you could add some signs? either custom or signposts to direct visitors to shops, etc
that's how i feel with all of the things i've made recently, bc im seeing all of these gorgeous 5 star fairy and cottagecore islands and i get so daunted i just give up haha!
@molten dust sure I'd love too!! But I'm actually not new I just got a second switch from my cousin and figured out I can just redownload and make another island so I have both hemispheres! But my code is SW-5147-8898-6387 (:
@stuck trail I just don't know what it is so I am not sure how to fix it lol I think it may be the useless waiting areas, if I turn it into something cute, I think I will like it
@vocal wren same :/ I am more into rustic, stone-ish kind of theme and I see so many nice ideas but when I try to do them, it just doesn't turn out as nice as I want it to
Idk where to put the inclines... Mby I should change the cliffs...?
this is my crazy map
@amber shale same it's like you have the idea in your head and you think you know how it's gonna end up but then it ends up looking nothing like you imagined
i wish it looked more like this
@raw sorrel the cliffs in your picture? they look a little too small no really need inclines imo, I think they would be fine without
Sedum

Thoughts on Beaus yard so far? Lmk what else I should add cause it still feels a bit empty (:
@silent sluice so cute! i tried doing little yards for my villagers but i was terrible at making them😅
@raw sorrel the cliffs in your picture? they look a little too small no really need inclines imo, I think they would be fine without
@stuck trail so I should just use a ladder instead of making inclines?
@silent sluice I kinda feel like a tree stump and an axe would go well there if there's room!
@raw sorrel what are you planning to put there? is it something you'll need to access often?
@silent sluice I love it! I dont think it feels empty at all, a customized cushion on the bench would be cute and maybe a couple weeds?
I would also maybe move one of the white mums to the other side lol but thats just me being picky
@vocal wren , @stuck trail and @weary vale ty! Those are all great ideas! Ty 😊
@raw sorrel what are you planning to put there? is it something you'll need to access often?
@stuck trail I was just planning a little star gazing area so I dont need to access it often, I just thought it would be nice to easily get up there ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@raw sorrel in that case, maybe you could add the inclines horizontally along the back of the cliffs? that would give you easy access while being sort of hidden (: Just keep in mind you can only have 8 inclines so if you are adding many more cliffs to your map you may need to get strategic about placement!
@stuck trail idk how inclines work, will there be enough room?
qny ideas for a really small area???
does anyone have any good references or ideas for what i could use for an entrance with this layout of airport to res. services? i need to tackle the issue but it's been so hard trying to figure something out
@raw sorrel inclines are two wide and 4 long, so you can either place them directly behind or carve them into the existing cliffs (:
my theme im trying to stick with is sort of zen-like but i'm open to new ideas
what can i do with a really small area inbetween houses
@vocal wren if it’s bothering you trying to make a path from the airport to res services, remember that entrances don’t have to lead straight there! You could build cliffs or paths to lead visitors somewhere else. Visitors can’t use res services so it can be fun and useful to lead them towards shops or a pretty garden or something!
@buoyant forum you can make little yards or make a small resting area for them!
what can i do with a really small area inbetween houses
@buoyant forum I usually just put gardens in between and put furniture that matches the villagers personality
@stuck trail im confused ._.
by them i mean villagers lol
@buoyant forum trees?
also thank you @scenic blaze , very helpful! i'll try something out tomorrow
This is my map lol I kinda wanna switch it up but idk what to do
@grim spruce what do you want to change?
would love some beach inspo!
im looking for a cute and organized but still natural looking decorated public beach! (i’ll take any inspo i can get though!) 
I really need help with my island lay outtt... if anybody can possibly help me I would love it you dmed me j could send you a dodo code and you can come over and help me.. my orchid is too big and I wana put my shops there I need too know where too put it though if anybody can come help I will rlly appreciate it!!
Tbh I regretted making an orchard, it took up so much space and I never even used it
@echo sparrow i'd make a little tea area with the rattan chairs and some simple decking designs for a cute rustic beach area. i have something similar on my island but it's a wip
Does anyone have any inspo for a entrance that is very close to RS (mine is about 8 squares away)
i have an orchard by where i'm moving my house and im probably gonna move it or get rid of it
I prefer to have fruit trees spread around than all together in one place!
@south imp ive seen a lot of people build a cliff in between that hides it and then make a path to the side of the RS so it feels farther away
@south imp this is my favorite close entrance inspo! If you count, she has 8 spaces too 🙂 https://twitter.com/mori__tsumu/status/1253584047248306176?s=20
i have a huge blank space next to my entrance what do i do with it 😳
I prefer to have fruit trees spread around than all together in one place!
@austere fog ahh ty that sounds like a good idea!
@woven drift there's a bunch of potential island ideas in the pins (:
@woven drift make a garden or a music area for your guests and your villagers to use!

Suggestions for my villager parking lot? (Going to put villagers faces under their lot after I get them all)
opinions on raymonds house? how did you guys decorate his house if u have him??
@coarse jewel it’s soo good! I just put a bunch of newspaper stacks and called it a day lol
@trail totem thank u!! and omg im gonna put some newspapers around ty for the idea lol
@coarse jewel looks so good! Maybe another flower or two by the couch but other than that its 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
very cute!!! i didn’t have as much space as you, but this is what i did for raymond. put a server because he’s all tech-like and it matches well, as well as some matching flowers and a little seating area with a matching chessboard
@weary vale oo yes deff gotta add more thankss!!
@dim grotto are you planning to put in vehicles?? you could use race car beds, bicycles, or tricycles based on the villagers personality!
Should I make this into a picnic area with a blanket?
Yup I am @stuck trail
@lime basin yes! Perfect spot for a big square blanket
@echo sparrow i love it!!
Thanks!
Put a picnic basket on a red checkered blanket n boom
Will post finished picture soon
Here is my beach side sushi bar! Id love info on how to improve it but other than that im really proud of it!
My little picnic/reading area 🙂
@round sierra i love it! i'd maybe add some lighting that matches but other than that it's great!
ahh the colors are so vibrant and pretty, i love that blanket pattern @weary vale
and right next to raymond’s is marshal’s yard which i really like! i’m going for small yards just because i don’t have the space, but i think it turned out quite cute! only issue is the empty space to the right where i can’t place any furniture down because of house dimensions D:
@coarse jewel thank youuuu i made it myself 🙂
@echo sparrow put a tree or a bush behind the house and it'll fill the empty space!
omg girl what... the TALENT 👁️ 👄 👁️ (ew those emojis look weird on here LMAO)
Morgan is big brain
Looks cute on hammocks too 
This picture doesn’t look great- but I want this to be a couples resort suite! I made a separate island on my island to be the “resort”. Anyone have any inspiration for a hotel/suite look? Or any better flooring patterns? (Not crazy about this one)
So I’m going for a kind of more gloomy atmosphere around my shop and tailor area, everything is lit up woth white mushrooms and stars and I’m gonna put a graveyard in between
I fished my entrance do you guys like it?
@undone frost the wood path would look good with the walls you have!
LF maps for inspo
Spooky witch house 🧙🏻♀️
Oooo
@weary vale thank you! I will try that!
Any entrance ideas?
what should i add to this little area?
@fervent cedar bushes, flowers, a signpost, a gnome!
Any entrance ideas?
Here’s the pathway to the area
@normal sentinel try searching "in:island-layouts has:image entrance" (:
Loooove the white
woah i love the stones around the circle paths
I need ideas of what to do with empty space on my island. I have a mini cafe area but I don’t know what to do with the rest of my island
White wind flowers are still growing
anyone have a secret beach entrance way? i really want to make getting over there easier.
It’s not full on like haunted area just silent and gloomy
@bleak sparrow I literally just chopped a path through the cliff that was hiding it and boom, secret beach path
@bleak sparrow lemme snap a pic
@normal sentinel (not my pics)
I made a little juice bar area by my orchard since it looked weird being empty but I still feel like it looks like it’s missing something ?? Any tips ?
@bleak sparrow I wouldn't call it easy... but secret beach entrance.
ty all!
@bleak sparrow Here is mine 🙂 it is really simple and doesnt take up a lot of space
problem is a put my house right on that third level cliff next to my beach, so now i have to move my house, demolish my inclines, blah blah blah. anyway. that’s a project for tomorrow
Need Ideas for a dark and spooky forest.
@woven drift add a simple panel that shows a menu.
@woven drift I have a little juice bar kind thing! Maybe you could also do a little open mic 🙂
@round sierra good idea! I’ll have to get my@hands on a simple panel first 🙂
Nice Morgan!
@weary vale yours is so cute! Ty!
should i have my villagers houses all together and organized or should i make it kind of messy but still in the same area?
anyone got some tropical island vibe inspiration i'm running out of ideas....
organized
Scatter
anyone have a secret beach entrance way? i really want to make getting over there easier.
@bleak sparrow
Here's mine
Added some new spots AND managed to get my rocks done finally. Ahhhh!
That’s beautiful!
southern hemisphere gang
Love your beach rocks
@verbal totem is that a fiddlehead fern pattern? Really interesting
I love how you did the rocks!
Yus, Southern hemi~ And thank you! And I believe so, @scenic blaze ! I was using it in the forested/bamboo area around Pekoe's but it fits there, too.
I made a clear pattern to keep these damn flowers in check 😂
UPDATE!!! Now and before. Anyone else tell me what I can do to make it better? I’m pretty satisfied but I’m looking for nice pattern for my poolside bed design. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thank you!!
idk but it's just me but i hate when the pattern just "dies". try to put some fencing maybe
@faint arrow the poolside beds look good white! I think if you made them patterned it would be too busy with the flooring. Navy blue would also be really nice
I posted a photo of my new entrance last night but I've made some changes and I'm loving it so far. Any feedback or suggestions?
Any suggestions for this area next to my resident services area? My theme is kind of woodland and girly mixed.
could do a fancy garden
hedges, beautiful statue, flowers, etc... cant go wrong w that imo
I was hoping someone would have some peaches. It’s the only fruit I don’t have. Would be willing to trade, give bells, a nook miles ticket. Please help!
Does anyone have a custom design or smth that can help me measure and build stuff on my island?
btw, does anyone know how to fit flowers into a cyberpunk / sci-fi / modern island?
Hey does anyone know where I can sell my turnips?
Hey does anyone know where I can sell my turnips?
@austere stratus stalk market section
@golden grove try #fruit-vegetable-trade
@raw sorrel I just dig holes to measure, but any pattern would do
@austere stratus try #daisy-nookling-ads

@raw sorrel i usually just use the paths to mark "tiles" on the ground to measure
does anyone have a area that’s like a picnic area with bears? i need inspiration
I added a fountain cause this part was empty don’t know how I feel about it but I like the duck on the top right lol.
@stuck trail @weary vale alright thanx
Any tips on decorating an island? Im struggling
@jovial fern start in small sections and dont give up 🙂 it can be frustrating sometimes
I’m still working on learning how to incorporate sectioned areas into my island, my transitions between areas and forestry paths are kind of rough still
@wispy pendant I think black and purple flowers would look super cool on a steampunk island but don't be afraid to experiment a little with other ones! (:
Does anyone have any ideas for this area? Its right out of a waterfall entrance. It looked fine before i redid my entrance now it looks meh and its right next to town hall ;-;
yea i bred some black roses gonna buy more black flowers later lol
@round sierra The pathing is cute! I really like streetlamps or other lighting like phone boxes so maybe add those if it’s fits your aesthetic
@round sierra I like it, I personally think the brown/cream border with the gray stone path might be throwing me a little? have you tried it with the brick/terracotta path instead?
Lol my whole town is mostly that gray stone path so probably wont do thattt lol
Maybe more trees? The bamboo would be nice with the bamboo grass@round sierra
@round sierra haha totally fair! its really just a personal preference (:
I’d combine the tree and flower area
To make a much bigger space which you might be able to work with more easily
Yea that makes sense and i can add the lighting and bamboo trees y’all recommended. Ty
Do you guys use a variety of bushes or just stick to a specific type
I use a variety 🙂 i like the different textures and I prefer them out of season and plain @fringe garden
i stick to an area
@fringe garden I use a variety mainly so I have some blooming in every season lol
Guys how do I make this area less awkward?
more flowers, some butterfly models and more light
add variation to the pathing
I think I’m gonna thin the path a bit
i need some inspo for a hidden grove < 3
This is behind resident services. What should I put here? (It’s a city theme) I’ve been thinking for 2 hours and I just.... can’t.... decide.
@woven drift I'd thin it but add more curves? if that makes sense
Very proud of my rock garden :)) only took 4 hours haha
I’m removing that branch of the path since it doesn’t lead to anywhere
I wanna make a rock garden but it sounds hard
It was a pain in the ass 🤣 I missed a few spots with the transparent pattern so of course they kept spawning there instead of where I wanted them to
Omg I just got cloud flooring from Sahara
The cloud flooring and pirates wallpaper are definitely my favorites(not together but separately)
This is behind resident services. What should I put here? (It’s a city theme) I’ve been thinking for 2 hours and I just.... can’t.... decide.
@wheat wasp Sense it's behind a building why not put some cliffs and stuff like simple panels or servers so when you pan camera behind the hall it looks like a tower?
Where do I post if I need to find someone to work on my island can’t find it
@eager burrow thanks. I’ll keep that idea in mind 🙂
You can post that you're looking here @primal gale but I'm not sure what kind of response you'll get 😰
@wheat wasp I don’t have a specific idea in mind for city but maybe add the diner neon lights for a more modern look.
Thank u
@wheat wasp maybe a flee market? or a town square with benches, a small restaurant, etc
Hello, I’m starting to make my island more aesthetically pleasing and nice, my island is very basic and I have barely worked on it, I need someone to design my island because I’m terrible at and or design some of it dm if your interested 😊I will pay nmts, bells or gold
@dry ibex thanks. I’ll probably do one of those.
anyone hv inspo for stargazing area?
anyone got some of that good old tailor shop inspos looking for some ideas
anyone hv inspo for stargazing area?
@dry ibex mine is boring lmao 😂 I just have moon chairs, nova lights, a telescope and some cedar trees surrounding the area
@dry ibex
I love using nova lights
@soft plaza wowiee so cute!! ty (-:
Hi’ everyone I’m looking for some ideas for the area around my house kinda my yard and jist my layout so If you have any ideas preferably inspo pictures that would be amazing!
figuring out finally
I used them in my entrance too
@sinful roost heres the area around my villagers house
Some areas of my Island!
Thank you
Betcha never seen a rock garden where all the rocks are the same shape.
The top platforms doubles as a secret trail to star mountain
How did u do that tho 😳
just keep smashing em until they obey. They have random shapes each time they spawn.
That probs took 6 years lmfao
tbh 4 of them spawned in the shape I wanted on first go and other two only took 6 more days
Brown or grey faucet?
Grey matches better
grey
@eager burrow I admire your dedication, looks super cool!
Okay coolio
Any ideas on how I can place my last 4 houses on the top left area?
Just along the back wall would work, no?
how many spaces you can put a house near another?
@eager burrow trying to make them mixed a bit so there not so lined up like the rest of my houses but not sure how to do the rest of the mountains and such
thats too many structures to balance on that small area without them being grid like
what should i do w this area??!
You'd need to integrate the waterfalls into the house layouts to make it less griddy
what should i do w this area??!
@dry ibex Turn it -90degrees
@eager burrow ahhh I see! Should I move the waterfall more towards the back then? Then maybe two houses on top and two on the bottom?
loL what do i do w this area !
@glacial warren Yeah, maybe make the waterfall part of a villagers yard too
@eager burrow Thank you! I’ll try that! Hopefully it works out 👏🏻
@dry ibex How about some ducks? Maybe three bushes to the bend of the path?
Campsite is finally done ✅
Every campsite needs a waterfall into a small pond! It's important
ooh! will add that! but idk what to do with the area in front of the little waterfall pond 0:
@willow bay jail bars (;
@dry ibex I mean it's kind of too narrow to really do anything, you don't want tall structures because theyd block out the pond
yeahh (‘: i might just make it a little flower field !
@willow bay Try adding more tables, if its a restarurant there should be more than one place to sit
rate my farn
is there anyone here i can commission to help with my island? i can pay with nmt or bells or something (sorry btw if i shouldnt be asking here idk where else to) hmu in the dms if youre interested
sure what do you need
I realized I wasn’t gonna use the wedding stuff so I used it for this ^^:
@amber shale I think your entrance is lovely don’t be so hard on yourself
anyone willing to allow me to tour their island?? dm plsss
Does anyone have ideas for a tropical museum area
How does this look any suggestions?

#Harrypotter not sure what I’m going to do with my layout but I did this 🙆♀️
that looks cool!
I need help with my rivers making them look natural and setting it up if you can help let me know please thankyou
any ideas for areas to have in my island?
@feral ridge check the pins! There’s a list
Which fountain location do you guys like better? Didn’t want to completely destroy everything before I moved it ! And where should I put 3 houses in this area
LF Trees Bounty’s Arch, mushroom furniture (mush table, mush log, Mush parasol, and mush partition), fire pit, and 2x wedding flower stands! Have bells/nmt!
@grizzled idol try using #furniture-trade
If I was trying to put the villagers houses as close together as possible, how much space do i need in between the houses?
Would stone or log stair cases look better?
I need help with setting up a natural looking rivers in my island any suggestions, tips, or tricks you may have for rivers dm me please thanks
anyone here willing to let me tour their island for a youtube video? dmm pls
I need help with setting up a natural looking rivers in my island any suggestions, tips, or tricks you may have for rivers dm me please thanks
@oak stirrup have them go in random directions, make it difficult widths, just dont make them straight
@raw sorrel I think you the closest you can put villager houses together is 1 space.
@fallen citrus alright tysm
@feral ridge #690093605821480980 / #mysterybags-and-yardsales please
Hey guys! So I finally have my island set up exactly how I like it, but I’m struggling on deciding what to make this area (right in front of my entrance) - the paved area to the left of it is a lil cafe, any suggestions?
Some bug storage. Can’t wait for Flick to show up😍
@mild dock maybe like a little airport waiting area or is it petty far from the airport?
@mild dock I would've put a fountain with some benches and flowers
@mild dock maybe a fountain in the middle with flowers surrounding it
@woven drift We literally thought the same thing 🤯🧠😂
Anyone else have any advice to give me on making a natural looking rivers dm me love to hear them thanks
Hey guys I’m trying to look for some inspiration for my island. My theme is like a Greek/European island. Please dm me or just do it in the public chat 🙂🙂
@rigid raft Well if it's antique Greece, try to have a lot of Greek statues from redd, and try to have villagers with white/blue stone houses. For the European part is it a kind of small town village, cause you could your house to do a castle or something. Basically use a lot of stone objects
@woven drift thank you so much
@mild dock maybe a small market place? Bc it's in front of the shops
does anyone have any nice forrest path pictures tryna add more to my forest area
@fallen citrus maybe stone bc of your path
Any thoughts on how I can improve the entrance? ☺️
@wispy jay okay ty
@fallen citrus np
Add some statues?
Maybe another colour with the white flowers?
Idk really I actually really like your entrance haha.
Maybe add a few shrubs
A moon chair on the left would look nice
Which waterfall location do you like? I dont wanna remove everything so Ik it’s gonna look weird and I’m trying to fit 3 houses in this area
Anyone know how to make a skull shaped pond?
My mom said she didn’t like the tea table to be there, but I want other people’s opinions on it before I make a decision.
@kindred juniper I think the tea table looks fine there (:
@tacit wing I like the terracotta path better than the custom brick
@tacit wing personally, I like the terra-cotta path better. The purple brick looks like too much. Besides, I like the border you got there on the terra-cotta.
Thanks! Couldn’t decide lol
@stuck trail thank you!
I need help urgent, what should i do for my entrance, my rs is so much close sadly, and i don't know what to do with my whole map, if anyone know any ideas of what i can do for my entrance that could really help!
@woven drift my rs is also extremely close to my airport I can show you what I just did. I just finished and I really am happy with how it came out
Most of The trees and flowers haven’t grown yet tho
@lucid sun yes please i really need it, tyy!!
@woven drift dude, you literally have a blank slate there, trying to come up with something on the spot with nothing else there would be kinda hard. That being said, I suggest trying a small mountain in that right square right about the airport. Just my personal opinion though, you don’t have to do that.
