@gray ore oooooo I like that idea..
Or in the middle-ish?
itll have to be a custom design rug because you cant place rugs in the outdoors
Yeah.
Help. What should I do next?
Hiii, i'm trying to change my Island theme from foresty to Creepy, can anyone help me? Give me tips or visit my island and see idk ahh help
@slim prairie lay down the path, then add trees and flowers (and fencing and things like that), then furniture if you plan on using it
@clever plover everything looks really good together! Maybe try adding trees/bamboo to the hedge line to give the area some height and to break up the lines of hedges
@manic sigil I agree
Does anyone no if you can move house’s and other things after being placed
You can move them by talking to Tom Nook about infrastructure.
Any ideas how to improve Fauna’s property? Making it bigger, or something else? What items should I add
Im doing a big park on a 17x11 area....can someone send me some inspo pictures pls?
@strong gust you can move later don’t worry
@dawn marsh like a public park or something like the picture?
@plain forge I would make 5 in a neighborhood and the other favorite 5 give them customized areas 😍
@manic sigil yes, but ill prefer with like more floors, with the terraform tool
@upper ferry I would try to have a different fencing around her property. You could also add some trees/flowers in the back.
@sacred knot thank god
@gray ore what fence?
@woven drift (sorry that asnwer is late) 😂😂that isnt a problem. You can move the houses in the service center so many times you want, but it costs 50k bells everytime.
@manic sigil u know what? Im gonna inspire myself with that too c:
@woven drift thank uu for the help^^
@dawn marsh not mine! but good luck all the same 
hi i’m in desperate need of inspiration. i got terraforming like 2 months ago and i still have no ideas on what to do. i know i want a space themed island but i just have no ideas please help!
@upper ferry I'm not 100% sure on what would look the absolute best, but maybe the brick fence? You could even try some hedges.
What next, please help.
@slim prairie definitely make a terraform waterfall
What should do with the Resident Services.
If you're not sure on what you want your island like, you can go and check out other people's and also use Happy Island Designer to plan.
Please help.
I would try adding flowers near the waterfalls and trees on top of the cliffs.
What kind of look are you going for @slim prairie
Just saying please help isn’t very helpful
since i still have a bit of open land, any suggestions on what i should add?
What should I do with the residents services?
@glass lion Maybe try a cafe, flower field, or orchard if you haven't.
Picnic area possibly? @glass lion
I already have a cafe, but i can try a flower field
and a picnic area would be good around my villager’s house, thanks
Suggestions
Changed up my luau area 🌺
@hybrid cedar very very cutee! How do you get the hula girls..??
@mint badge You could see how it looks if you move the rattan armchairs and table so it's in line with the other table.
Any decoration ideas for this and ideas to follow on from this out into my main island so it’s just flat straight after?
What should I do with the residents services?
@slim prairie you could try doing this, or something like it
Like this
Yeah. That looks nice. Do you think it does?
Yea alot more room
Cool. Yw.
Thanks 🙏🏽
@slim prairie that is what I did
How big a square should I leave to give my villagers a good sized garden?
@twin thorn check out this post: https://discordapp.com/channels/494376688256548865/681277827244621855/713385490375508039
Envy is so supportive 😭
Here’s my final product for Boomer’s yard! Thanks for the feedback everyone! 🥰
Anyone have a fishing area with the fish tourney prizes used i can get some inspo from?
Cheers!
For what its worth: feel free to send me a dm with some empty space that you guys want suggestions on. It personally helps me flex my creative muscles, and I love giving suggestions. Apologies in advance for any delays o/
@compact dock im still working on the fishing tourney. One thing I did do was a little fishing area by Zucker’s house
@clever plover what dimensions is this?
I was working on this today 
should i add anything here
@signal flicker maybe some shrubs or lamps. But it already looks great!
@atomic quest That looks amazing with the kind of pastel sort of look to it.
@atomic quest That looks amazing with the kind of pastel sort of look to it.
@gray ore the filter makes it looks better than it actually is haha
@atomic quest which filter?
@atomic quest Yeah, but the only thing you're showing off is the picture so it doesn't matter.
Lol
@versed wadi inspo from filter used by ppl on twitter on lightroom
Floras garden!
Any ideas? 🙏🏻
@twin thorn it’s 10 x 6 with no fencing, 12 x 8 including the hedge fence border
Can y'all vote on which flooring I should use in my gym?
top right
Thank you!
My bakery 🧁
@mint badge I think seating would be super cute!!! This is what mine used to look like
@signal flicker I'd reccomend closing off that path design at the entrance there if you haven't tried it already
Are we allowed to share our IG? I would like to follow anyone who is posting active daily!
@proven kayak what theme are you going for?
It worked!
@vernal oxide im making the tables and chairs now the inside of the house ima decorate it to look like a kitchen bakery
Or what are you NOT going for @proven kayak
@woven drift modern and practical, something that would be used irl? or something with a lot of trees? I’m pretty open
Got it! I'll dm you some possible inspo pics
Thank you
I have a huge open spot of land that takes up like 20% of my map any ideas of what I can put?
@proven kayak @sterile cypress there’s a list of ideas in the pinned section!!
ty
@vernal oxide thank you!
Does anyone know what these fences are called?
Anyone want to come to my island to dig flowers up? I’ll pay
@zenith sigil use #flower-plants-trade
I can’t find it!
@zenith sigil go to #721542917264638002 and read the rules and react to the reaction
Ok😀
Does anyone have nice Egypt areas for inspo please and ty! ^^ 
any ideas?
@viscid gate check the pinned section for a list of ideas!
@strong crystal this looks like pocket camp. Do you have the full image?
Does anyone have the layout that has resident services very close to the airport? How did you style your entrance. It’s so hard for me to fit anything in that small space
@viscid gate check the pinned section for a list of ideas!
@vernal oxide Didn’t think of that, very handy. Thanks!
@scenic blaze oh ahhaa
Yeah this is pocket camp, most of these items aren’t in NH
does anyone have any cozy winter island inspo? 😮
@woven drift not mine but maybe this will help. You can also use the top right search bar and find pictures “in:island-layouts has: image: egypt “
What do you guys think of my mueseum area! What should I add or take away?
@vernal oxide tysm! And I forgot about the search bar haha ty!
Any thoughts on my secret beach?
@cunning vortex that is beautiful!!! That’s is so pretty! Maybe you should add a pirate treasure chest to add a bit of a more pirate theme kind of
Could i see your flower fields? I donno how to put them pretty
Will do if I can find one! Thanks 
@silent zodiac I think adding fossils would give it a nice touch!
@vernal oxide Envy I am adding a little musuem cafe area right next to it and I’m going to put fossils in there!
how do you build water falls?
@magic forge use the waterscaping shovel on a cliff
@rigid ibex thank u!
i'm looking for some inspiration to decorate my villagers' houses based on their personality type and stuff that really fits them, does anyone have any ideas for Judy, Marshal, Beau, Ketchup, Marina, Julian or Merengue?
Very nice work @atomic quest
@remote idol for Judy I’m doing a star gazing area. She’s a part of my bear grouping. For Marshal I gave him a cafe. Merengue I’m giving a bakery
@remote idol check their house interior for a good feel of their style
Little hang out area /library thing 😂
@woven drift @vernal oxide thank you both!!
@remote idol I haven’t done much yet. Marshal is the first picture. The second has my bear area and Judy will have a star gazing area in front of her house! Hope this helps!
@vernal oxide i love it! thank you this really gives me inspiration :))
Anyone got an idea where/how to put the residential area? I have room in the middle and top right. I also don't have a place for the campsite yet
@vague loom I would make a beach-themed campsite, and maybe spread the residential area in like 3 parts: 4 houses in the middle-left, 4 in the middle-right and 2 in the top-right?
I was thinking about something with bamboo for the campsite idk what tho
Maybe on the hill behind Nook's Cranny?
I already have this on the hill
@woven drift there’s a list in the pinned section!
Finally making progress on map
@silent zodiac I think a tree might work instead of the moon if you wanted to use it for sumn else but trees, bushes and flowers/weeds for everything else
Working on my entrance- Do you guys think it’s okay so far?
It won’t let me fix the little dirt patch and it’s bothering me 💀
Does any one have a market street on their island? Because I need a little inspo 😊
What should I put here? Any ideas?
@elfin prism I need one too if someone dms u let me know pls
I need help!
Left or right?
I don’t like the repetitiveness on the right but maybe colors fit better (?)
@tranquil carbon there’s a list of ideas in the pinned section!
@wraith basin I like right better
Thanks! It just bothers me a bit that the rocks are so repetitive 😣
@raven oxide @elfin prism not my pictures but maybe these will help: also you can type in the top right search bar “in:island-layouts has: image: market street” to see more images!
my neighborhood is pretty small D:
but i was able to squeeze in a little recreational area/park for my villagers! 
thoughts ? (,:
Mermaid zone
@vernal oxide tyvm 🥰
I had all my Villagers on the right but looking to spread them out was wondering if I should keep the river going from the top of my map all the way down?
What types of items do you recommend using in a stargazing area?
@opaque geyser Celeste items. Such as nova lights, crescent moon chair, etc
What should I add around my fountain to spruce it up a bit? (Ignore the clutter on the ground 😅)
What should I add around my fountain to spruce it up a bit? (Ignore the clutter on the ground 😅)
@gray dust
Maybe some more hedges/bushes?
@gray dust seating for sure
@opaque geyser It depends on your style. Some people use couches, blankets, and comfy items. Some use celeste items and telescopes... it's completely up to the vibe you're going for. This is what I did.
Thank youuuuu
@opaque geyser whenever I get the items I would use the Celeste nova stars and moon chairs myself 🙂
A quick run through of my museum! Not done decorating yet, though.
Also the area immediately in front of the museum isn't done yet 😳
@limber ginkgo it looks so good!!
@gritty smelt tyvm! I spent several hours the other evening working on it. 😭
New mermaid area that I made
Omg I love that Charlie! Would you ever put picked flowers (so in vases) along the paths? honestly it’s amazing regardless I’m just wondering if u want more color?
@royal oak that's a great idea, I haven't thought of flowers just yet so I'll keep the idea in mind!
sorry for the horrible quality, what should i make this area? it's huge and idk what to do
What should I put on the cliff right behind my resident center? Or should I just get rid of it all together lmao
flowers and shrubs!
Look at the pins @woeful ravine
does anyone have like a beach market area? or any market area? i need some inspo!
I followed someone's advise a little im sorry i dont remember who but i finished this
Worked a little more on my entrance 
(Also yes I see the lil dirt patch and I can’t fix it bc of the bridge)
What should I put on the cliff right behind my resident center? Or should I just get rid of it all together lmao
@opaque geyser i've seen some people making waterfalls and stuff on cliffs behind their resident services!! maybe that would fit
Library finally completed, or do you thing there’s any other items I could add?
Not the most spectacular thing, but at least it's better than my other attempts (I think this is entrance idea #4 now). First three tried to go for waterfalls...quickly realized that takes an unholy amount of space
Anyone selling these signs?
@woven drift What do you mean not spectacular? That's amazing!
@deep stirrup use #furniture-trade
@vernal oxide oh yh sorry lol
Am I doing something wrong or will the houses actually take up this much space?
how should i decorate the front of my villages houses?
@scenic bridge some flowers matching the color scheme of ther houses?
@gray ore if you want them to have bigger yards then yea it will take up more room
@scenic bridge some flowers matching the color scheme of ther houses?
@static pasture good idea!! ill take note
@gray ore I am harshly self-critical of my designs...period. I spent probably around 2-6 weeks just building and tearing down entrances after reaching 3*.
@scenic bridge you can also use furniture that goes with their personality!
@gray ore if you want them to have bigger yards then yea it will take up more room
@vernal oxide Okay.
thank u!
Who wants to come design my entrance
@woven drift At least it's better than anything that I could do.
@scenic bridge there is also stuff in the pinned stuff for this chat that should help you design yards, if you need that stuff anyways.
@gray ore Believe me, I wouldn't have gotten anywhere with that if it wasn't for twitter and reddit posts. I lurked around there a TON (like an unhealthy amount of time) just taking the frameworks of certain ideas...and then also discord for minor tweaks, especially the park benches. The creative work in that was almost none, with the exception of the flowers.
Spotted flora fishing in her marsh
@gray ore The island designer websites (whether it be 2D or 3D) will always misrepresent space wrong. You are better off just making a general plan, and modifying it as you go along...it happened when I tried to design my shopping district before just abandoning the idea entirely....in fact most times it has failed.
My first attempt to create a yard, any tips?🥺
Can someone help me dising my island I'm not such a good disigner
@stable helm if you use the top right search bar you can search “ in:island-layouts has: image: map” and see what others’ maps look like! There’s also ideas in the pinned section as well as different designing websites you can use!
@lost sky you can also use the watermelon beach ball to look like watermelons in the garden!! But it looks good!
if only being a 'best friend' also allows us to terraform for others ><
Entrance and waiting area
@atomic quest yeah but then people would charge a ridiculous amount for it, and islands would look the same since no one else would be trying to make their own island themselves
have this plot of empty land near the middle of my island would love to hear any suggestions for what I could do with it
@short dome there’s a big list of ideas in the pinned section!!
@vernal oxide Thanks for the tip! I will go hunting for melons😊
Kyri, I wish. and yeah @vernal oxide that would be exactly what happens...
@short dome there’s a big list of ideas in the pinned section!!
@vernal oxide thanks!!
yah, but at least some ppl won't be charging $400 to design an island lul 🙄
I originally wanted to decorate the shop with more furniture items around it but I’m pretty happy with this simplistic look! There’s also the raccoon figurine to the right 😂
timmy and tommy's bikes!
@atomic quest Haha they’re so cute and funny to have around the shop 😆
any villager neighbor-hood ideas?
lots of ideas in the pins
what are some fossils that are big but look good outside and fit in screen
icy usually the fossils that need the head, torso, and tail are big and fill up space
my neighborhood is quite small, but i had this tiny empty space so i converted it into a small recreational area / park!
thoughts? 
I know there are pins about rivers...but I'm a visual person! Does anyone have suggestions on how to make their rivers natural looking? or their placements??
@sullen sable this is part of my museum and you can see the Dino’s I displayed! I also have two more up the stairs!
@topaz mountain try to not make it one size try to give some places more narrow and some places more wider and make sure to add curves
whats the dinosaur called with the antler things?
my map layout with the river
@icy flint Ack your island looks so cool
@sullen sable it’s called the megalo
redd’s beach & marshal hiding
ty
megalo @sullen sable
:/
@icy flint thank you!!
Campsite area
@worldly night I envy people who can use filters well. Design is one thing, but being able to use a filter in a creative way is something I cannot do XD
I need to take more screenshots of areas lol
Oh yeah, filters are I thing I LOVE, really adds a sence of feel to the island
lmao im like redoing my whole island so if i take a screenshot in 3 days ima need a new one since i'll prob add more or change it
@woven drift I’ve been playing around with the filters on the animal crossing camera! It’s sooo much fun. My favorite filter is “film”
I finished my entry rainbow path between the museum and the plaza!
Love the sakura tree
I’ve since plopped a pufferfish at the end because they’re just cute oh Thanksies! I was going for a rock garden vibe.
I have this circle island roughly 8/10 by 8/10 spaces, any ideas?
How about a picnic?
MOSH PIT!
I haven’t played in over a month and came back to LOTS of flowers, I kinda of like it in certain parts! In others.... not so much
I had that in mind I just didnt really know where to put it @worldly night
Oh yeah my town is kinda drunk on flowers. I’m slowly removing them.
@torn monolith oooooo good idea idk though I'll see :)
@vocal dirge
Heres my picnic area for some inspo if you do build one
Can i see everyones layout for there neighborhoods? Im doing this layout but giving them a area on the side of the house
@worldly night I'm loving how you managed to place the bamboo
Can people with West and South river exist post their map? 👏🏻👏🏻
Free DIYs and entrance to the beach
I really underestimated just how much difference stone borders make
@split spire most if my villagers are on their own mini islands on a massive lake
@vocal dirge
Yeah that was a nightmare but so worth it lol
Le gasp, my villagers are also on little islands
Ooooo I currently have 6 villagers on islands and then in planning to make a neighbourhood for 3 villagers and have julian love near me
I'm making my islands about 6x6 unless they're a unique shape
Mine are 4/8 by 4/8 depending wether you count the very outside or the inside square (my islands are circles)
hey so idk where to ask this, does anyone where i can get a book shelf/library? is it a diy or do i buy it?
oh-
@woeful ravine it’s a diy
okay thanks!
@woeful ravine it’s a diy. You can either go to the #player-services to give someone materials to craft them, or you can try nookazon and maybe someone will sell the bookshelves!
tysm!
Here’s mine
Marina, Rodeo, and Wendy all live in the “suburbs” because I didn’t feel like moving the stores.
I’ve also gathered some chairs so I could make a seating area to “watch” the concert area
Top tier has a “secret” frog tribunal
A sneaky way to boost your town rating just give Tom some boxes as if he got a new shipment of stuff
Any good ideas for like a flower garden or anything for my flowers
Can i see everyones layout for there neighborhoods? Im doing this layout but giving them a area on the side of the house
@split spire I used a ton of flowers. Also if you're doing that layout, try bushes around the houses. Greenery!!
Any suggestions/ comments for my lil picnic/ hangout area?
Was struggling but now I am making progress!
My red flower garden, house and secret pathway to museum
Made this behind resident services!
@quick iris Ah, the old strategy of getting to 3*...and beyond. Just throw down a lot of stuff on a forgotten corner of the island...then come back to it later when you actually need to decorate.
Man so much inspo here thx for being awesome everyone!
I do this with all my golden roses
Inspo for island entrance? Looking for a waiting area or something of that nature
Top tier cliff. Not sure if that helps but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@polar plover check the pinned info for this chat, it should tell you how to look up entrance photos.
@woven drift na i am a level 3 this is me hidding stuff behind my house my brothers house and the resident service aka the 3 spots that are just an empty space that would be full of weeds unless i decorated them and in doing so i jumped from 3 to 4 all the while keeping my natural island look
Nice. I lazily did mine, but then got perfectionistic...and then tanked my island back into 1-2 star rating while I am decorating.
@polar plover in the top right search bar type in “in:island-layouts has: image: entrance” or “in:island-layouts has: image: waiting area” to see what others have posted!!
What should I do with the huge open space ( upper right corner )
@young harness theres a huge list of ideas in the pinned section!!
should i keep the maze pathless or should i add the custom path towards the maze?
already using this path
going for an abandoned island theme so im trying to keep this path going as well as getting more trees
Thought I’d show off my beautiful island it’s very inspiring and clearly better than anyone else’s the red represents the pain of making a rock garden 🤪🤩✨ please help me I’m going insane
tbh thinking about it i might keep it normal and not touch it and just add the paths towards the entrance of the museum
@fleet warren there’s a really good guide in the pinned section! And if you have any trouble you could also probably get help in #garden-science-discussion or I think it’s #garden-science-info
Oo thanks!!
ill see when i have to work on it more but rn it looks fine just needa start on parts i haven;t started before
@fleet warren but good luck though!! I know it’s such a pain ahaha
Someone who has their island fully covered, especially with patterns, take a picture of their map? I am doing a grass design project and want to see what textures appear on the map.
The Device recreated in AC
@restive kraken custom paths don’t show on the map
YARRR MATEY! WHAT AN EXCELLENT ENTRANCE THAT IS TO GET SCAMMED BY A FOX!
@restive kraken every pattern that can be bought from the town hall with nook miles will show up expect for grass, and custom patterns won't show up as well, unless you have a custom pattern that isn't transparent then you can put a bought one underneath then it'll show up
Oooo okay
Anyone got any Able Sisters beach designs ? Need some inspo 😦
Any ideas to decorate and improve this?
try adding stalls!
I made this little farm area! What do you guys think?
Sorry to jump in outta nowhere lol but I have been working hard on my island since deciding I hated how it was originally going so I wanted to share a before/after of my map (still a w.i.p) Haven't decided where i want Able's to go & thinking about relocating my main character's house slightly as well as adding more playable characters to the mix haha
I just wanna say lurking in this channel has been life saving! Many incredible ideas and encouragement from everyone, makes the whole process a lot easier for me to handle 
I call this “inconsistent censorship”
@versed wadi are those fridges and mini-fridges?
Lockers and safes
and can you just place things on the locker? it looks too high for you to just put it on there from the ground
Me:
builds a nice fence next to my house
Everyone else:
Yeah it just goes up there
Your character does a little jump to place it
lol
Hold on I didn’t do the funny
Anyone got a laundromat area to show off?
Me:
builds a nice fence next to my house
Everyone else:
Forget it the picture isn’t loading
this is my house area. i'm pretty happy with it, one of the only areas of my island that i'm probably not going to redevelop and will keep.
Aw I like the shoes as decor 💕
thank you 🙂
@river cedar best idea for Redd!!!
thanks, i appreciate it :)
@tall otter palm tree lamps, floor lights, a little water element
@wet ore oooh good ideas ty! ☺️
@last bay add a silo or two :)
@versed wadi I legit can't believe they have an uncensored David statue
https://mai-casa-es-tu-casa.webnode.com/ just trying to help a friend here offers design to your islands/homes 🙂
I need tips on how to fix this nasTY
@keen breach maybe replace some of the hedges with trees?
My friend is insane he spent almost 1000 hrs on this
Oooh!
What the..
Wow
waterscaping is hell how tf
Can we visit ? xD
@neat gyro id pay to tour that town
Same
@tall otter can't wait to see the final product!
I'll ask him but its really hard to traverse
Like islands are small and its alot of hops and usually he only has 2 or 3 people there 😅
Oh well I understand 🙂
This is the definition of terraforming. He was blessed by the gods of Animal Crossing!
Thing is he never really can bug catch
Lol, at least he can fish
Does he have any social media? His island is so cool!
do you guys think this little airport waiting area disrupts the cafe theme too much?
idk how its hard for people to terraform tbh for me quite easy just takes some time so i just run away and run around on my island
He doesn't have many trees or stumps so he needs nmts constantly lmao, he has a discord
Has anyone made a zoo on their island? Looking for some inspiration pictures 🙂
I saw a person on insta that made his island and villagers into a giant zoo
hopefully this helps even tho its a meme
Just finished redoing the outside of my museum!
Anyone have crafting center inspo???
does anyone have any ideas on how i could improve this cannon tower for my pirate island?
comments please :3
any ideas for what to do w this area near my campsite? im doing a cottagecore themed island:)
what would be a good color for a wooden bookshelf for coco? brown or dark brown?
Give the cannon tower a staircase. for cottage core, cover it with plants and cozy campsite furniture
@shut kindle is that a dark brown den desk?
ok thank you!:)
Does anyone have a crafting station inspiration?? Im at a loss
@balmy violet yes
Whitney just moved to my island so I updated my coastal town screenshots:
my theme is an abandoned island that is getting rediscovered so there's a lot of trees, bushes and i was planning on having trees around the library to seem like its in the middle of the woods so idk what color
Started working on Tangy's orchard, is this too crowded? (also yes the cherry glitching through the stall is annoying me)
@icy flint I have a kinda sorta similar theme, do you have any pics of what you have now?
yeah ill dm ya since i hate spamming pics and having to wait 30 secs lmao
I feel like my carnival is missing something, but what?
Should I add a second teacup ride?
Could someone come to my island and help do a lay out of my island
is feel like this area is missing something but i don’t want to ruin the simple vibe of it. any ideas?
maybe a couple of orange + white flowers and maybe some decoy ducks if u have the diy:)
maybe some bushes or flowers around it, with some paper laterns to keep it simple but pop at the same time
Add cushions on top of the blanket with the same pattern so you can “sit on” the blanket.
@zinc monolith red and white floor lights
And this one was missing
does anyone have any ideas on how i could improve this cannon tower for my pirate island?
@wraith spire maybe you could put some stuff in front like in the beach
Where is your museums i need inspo on mine
@primal raft where on the map?
Hi?
oops wrong rose, sorry :x
hehe it happens a lot. Just long press and hit “quote”
Moved my sushi restaurant, ironic how Octavian is my first customer.
Ow thanks 🙂
I love rainy days :o
I’m looking for some inspo for a “Japanese or Zen” area to put kabuki’s house that doesn’t take a lot of space, anyone have some pics?
@sonic bluff
hello! i’m unsure of what to use this space for. my island is sort of urban/suburban themed, not too specific. any ideas how i could decorate?:)
Hi, does anyone have or know a natural/cottagecore/fairycore island that uses the default paths? I wanted to make one like that, bc I heard the default paths make villagers walk around more, but I don't like how they look very much, so idk what to do 😔
@restive lily @split oak has a zoo island: 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...
Does anyone have any ideas of exterior decor for the villagers?
@woeful wharf you can use default path too, but i didn't use it as u see. At least i see a villager a day on this path so idk if that's true.
thats so pretty!!
The filter was a good decision.
Doing my island again and kinda out of ideas lol
I have fauna, bob, Zucker, audie, Octavian, tia, bones, sherb, Judy, and stitches
Give me ideas on exterior decor pleaseee 🙂
Anyone here willing to come to my island and give me some tips on fixing and decorating- I can pay NMT!
The quality may be horrible, I couldn’t figure out to properly get the video onto my phone BUT here’s a whole video of my entrance to my island as well as my museum!!
Epic
i love it better then my island even the parts i finished redoing
@buoyant forum I’ve honestly redone my island a million and one times. And I still reconsider redoing a bunch of it. My biggest advice is make it how you want it and how you like it!
What should I put here?? It is directly from the left of my Shop and Tailor???
ive been procrastinating it for days because no ideas rip
@upper ferry there’s a huge list of ideas in the pinned section!
@vernal oxide where is that???
I’m trying to build a tiki bar does anyone have materials for it? I’m down to pay bells for it
maybe try #furniture-trade ?
how do you hide the fact that your town hall is off centered?
@upper ferry if you hit the person icon in the top right there’s lists in there
how do you hide the fact that your town hall is off centered?
@prisma ravine what im trying to do is add some terraforming and rivers at the front of my island since my town hall is off centered and very close to my airport. i think this will distract from the off centered-ness and closeness!!
okay thanks!
@upper ferry
have this huge area! need some ideas for what to put here (:
for reference, i already have:
-cafe
-park
-playground
-market
i used cliffs to hide my RS from view when you're at the airport @prisma ravine
maybe ill put a cliff waterfall with a river 
@echo sparrow theres a list of ideas I just posted!
i just dont want the cliff to be too close so that when my villagers sing the waterfall isnt super loud
@echo sparrow maybe you could do a zen garden with bamboo and sand
since it’s pretty close to my beach i’m actually thinking of a pool/spa area right before going into the public beach. kind of like what you would see at resorts and stuff in florida :p
im definitely doing a zen garden though, so thanks for the idea !!
@grave lagoon I hope they walk around a lot in the custom paths, your island looks so beautiful ❤️ thank you for sharing!
@echo sparrow i did a pool area with a smoothie bar next to it by my beach
the top left area of my island is extremely big, and i don’t think it’ll look good if i do j a big orchard like i planned. what should i do along with an orchard in that area?
My welcome booth for Isle Delfino!
@toxic oar Omg so nostalgic 😢
@tall echo gardens (flower or vegetable) and / or beekeeping areas look nice with orchards imo (:
thank you!!
If anyone is looking for inspo pics feel free to request some from me. I practically have a library of inspo pics and it's a little insane. Just be sure to specify your theme or give me a pic of your own island for reference
@late marsh Pulled the path texture from the game too!
@toxic oar it's really well done 😄
Here's an updated pic of what i sent earlier, this will be apart of Tangy's exterior. I plan on making it look like an orchard/farmer's market
FOR ANYONE DESIGNING THEIR ISLAND. I found a website where you can pick your layout and design how you want it to look. Its called Happy Island Designer! It’s just a tip!! 👍
i looked at too many island inspiration pictures and now im confused like i kinda want my shops on elevations at the entrance but i also like waterfalls >.<
Do both!
@prisma ravine I elevated mine kinda by the entrance and I have a looong walkway for my entrance with waterfalls
i need help i dont know where to place my villagers i've spent already like 1mil
@vernal oxide thats gorgeous!
What are some good yard ideas for right outside your house? I have a pretty small plot of land and idk what to put there
@tidal hemlock I spread my villagers out! I think neighborhoods and stuff are a bit too crowded and 'boxy' looking 😅
Got a pic @past elk
This is how small my yard is
speaking of crowded and boxy looking like drew said LOL...any ideas on how to make my small spaces in front of my villagers’ houses look less boring? i was stupid and did a grid design, haha
what do you guys think zell would like around his house, i want to give each of my villagers their own areas but i dont know where to put him 😔
they’re all the same size, btw. ^^
@vernal oxide what are the posts with the flags called?
@past elk some knick knacks could really make that plot! Garden tables, clothe hangers, swinging bench or a little bird bath
@tall echo maybe if you do a smaller path going up to the house you'll have more room for a yard? fencing usually looks nice with that type of layout as well
I think I've got some good reference pics I could dm @past elk
@mental zodiac they’re from pocket camp it’s called market place flag I believe
ok!
ah, good idea! thank you!!
this is what i did idk if it looks good somebody give me advice 😩
@woven drift yes that would be very helpful🙂
thanks @vernal oxide ! if anyone else has some beachside pools/spas i’d love to see it for some inspo!
@tall echo here's what I did (plus my start on Tangy's house) hope some of this helps 😅
y’all i keep changing my mind on how i wanna decorate my island and it’s not good 😂😭 i keep getting so much inspo on here and i wanna do so much
@woven drift could you dm me for a good japanese themed island? 😦
Coming right up @mental current
thanks 😄
🥰
@woven drift Could u dm me some fairycore/pink themed islands?
Anyone with a pink aesthetic island could you show me some pics of your island?
@tidal hemlock easy request lol sure thing
yes what @drowsy python said
@woven drift can u dm me some anime style island ideas?
@frank crane great choice! Dms coming up
I think i won't stick to 1 theme anymore and combine a bunch at this point..
I didn’t even do a theme 😂
my library/study area ✨ (still a work in progress😳)
Themes are great for general references, but there are no rules in this game. Design to whatever suits your tastes!
does anyone have the photo of a really big flower farm w silos in the background, the flowers were rainbow and the pic was really popular
and they used it to advertise their flower shop thingo
This is my island, I wanna make a Japanese, Zen, Bamboo kinda island. Anyone got ideas?
I made a little reading area for Poppy🥺
@tulip sky an advice: u could make a Zem-Garden not on the layer ur standing on but rather on the level below. U could try to implement various layers ( it worked very well for me )
does anyone know how i can design these rocks? i have two of them on my island (rocks with water in between)
anyone have any fairy/cottage code or my neighbor totoro type islands or designs or inspo pics?
@maiden palm Alright, thx!
@south wraith summer related stuff? Or u could make a picnic/dinner area
yeah i totally could!! but i have two of the same rocks type on my island so i need an idea for the second one too haha
lf someone to help me w my island layout !
@south wraith dive spot, painting spot, shrine, lookout point, relaxing area (like a spa), tide pool area (with seaweed / horseshoe crabs maybe)
What does a 'my neighbor totoro' island look like?
thanks for the ideas!! since im going for a cottagecore themed island a tide pool would be awesome, and with the new summer update i could also make a diving spot indeed, thanks!!
hey! if anyone wants to dm or just post their island home layout that would be really nice :) i need some inspo lol
@proven carbon use #flower-plants-trade
For people who are stuck and have already spent a bunch on moving stuff and it ain’t right, there’s this website called Happy Island Designer. It’s pretty helpful

This is the entrance to my island what should I do to make it more interesting?

@fresh meadow flowers!!!
Is anyone artistic able to help me out drawing my vision out to try referencing for me to build ?
@river cypress ok also it bugs me that my airport is not symmetrical to my plaza thing so it’s off center
@fresh meadow for the entrance you could dot some little islands in the waterfall pools and place items there, statues/flowers/etc
@fresh meadow you could add little island in the water with items on? Like statutes or Celeste items?
I’ll give any nmt I have or bells I have available if anyone can help me. I’m stumped with how to layout the idea
@stuck trail and @wind grove that sounds cute I’ll probably do that
I need help on what color door plate to give zucker! Want something that coordinates well with his existing colors, but unsure if I should do red/blue or something different that goes well with his red and blue theme

@latent swan yellow or orange could work, or blue for contrast :)

@crisp onyx awe its so cute

My current entrance, any feedback or ways to improve??
@wind rose i did a like a neighboorhood and gave them lawn based on personality hobby and their house interior and exterior!
@icy sandal I’d change the tulips to match the color of the hyacinth lamps

@stoic pawn ty!
Seeking inspo for a fairy garden area!
What are your guy’s beaches look like? I need inspiration for mine and I’m completely lost. :/ my theme is mushrooms so I guess brown theme??
Lf someone to help me with my cottagecore entrance
I sent this earlier with a few ideas in-mind, but now i'm completely lost. I'm currently working on Tangy's orchard/farmers market themed house. I'm in need of more ideas to make it feel a little more complete 😅
@zenith roost how about a watermelon / vegetable garden?
I already used that concept for Chief's farmhouse, it's a good idea though!
D: that feeling when the path for the border of the pool doesn’t let you put the wood on the grass </3
Ouch that'd bother me 🙈
Anyone have any ideas for a pirate themed area near the dock?
Thoughts on these farmers market stalls?
@woven drift it looks really good!
cant believe i spent 2+ hours getting 100 nmt just to spend it on 4 rock head statues
any suggestions for my veggie farm or horse stable? preferably no more custom designs as i am full 😹
@polar prairie you could also put some watermelon beach balls as watermelons!!
@polar prairie the stable is so creative I love it
i just realized you cant get rid of rivers/move them to another direction 🤡
only even mildly cute part of my island 🥺🥺🕺🕺🕺✨✨
This was my old island before I flattened it out to start over. This is my new island that I'm creating and I'm loving it! It's still a WIP.
Let me see your fishing spots! Bonus if it’s near your dock
guys i found kiki on a nmt island and i am thinking about decorating their exterior inspired by kikis delivery service, anyone got images for me to get inspiration from lol?
map progress 
Gonna add more probably to the left side and change my villagers
WOAH
@tired terrace this was posted on twitter earlier and I thought it was a really cute inspo board for kiki's delivery service 🥺
thats really cool, thx!
hi everyone, I have a lot of space between my airport and residence services (which is off center btw) and I have no idea what to do with all of the space. Does anyone have any suggestions or inspiration??
Do you have a certain theme?
Someone help me I don’t know what to do!
Here’s mine
hi y’all! not sure what to do about this space in front of nooks cranny : ( any ideas??
Cafe or rest area
Looking for help on my entrance simply out of ideas!
Any ideas for potential layout? Currently terraforming rivers, but I don’t know what else to do.
What do you guys think of my entrance? Is it too decorated or not decorated enough?
Any ideas for potential layout? Currently terraforming rivers, but I don’t know what else to do.
@snow grove where the little dip in the river is behind the museum, making a kind of island out of that wouyld be nice
@rough tulip gracias
@snow grove where the little dip in the river is behind the museum, making a kind of island out of that wouyld be nice
@rough tulip Yeah like make a circle of water around it and have a bridge going to the front of it 🥺
So what did you guys think of my entrance? 🥺👉👈
It’s pretty good just add palm trees to give more of a Hawaii relaxed island vibe
is there a way to test your flyover? or, can I go to someones island and fly right back so i can see my flyover?
Just go to Harv’s island
anyone have some crowded woods/fairy-esque area ideas?
@keen lion I love it! I think putting some trees/bushes/flowers up on the 2nd level will make it look even better
Just go to Harv’s island
@novel valley Harv's Island doesnt give you the flight animation on the way back
Do yall think its best to decorate the island piece by piece and then connect them together
@keen lion I love it! I think putting some trees/bushes/flowers up on the 2nd level will make it look even better
@abstract kelp That’s what I started doing (hence the lil sapling up there) thank you so much for the tip!
@austere owl Everyones different but that's what I'm currently doing and it's working out well for me! Makes me feel less overwhelmed
@austere owl I did my island bit by bit and worked my way out from my entrance since I can’t really get areas to work together sometimes
@austere owl I divide my island up into different ideas and focus on that area for around 2 day and then move to the next area.
@snow grove this is currently what my map looks like.
@vernal oxide Nice villagers.
@vernal oxide Thank you!
Ok! I'll see how those work out for me cuz rn im stressed about my island being kinda blank and boring
im trying to get rid of flip(im not a time traveler and its annoying me that it takes this long)
@gray ore @hexed dragon thank you! I’m actually in the process of getting rid of Elmer for Ankha! And then I’ll have all my dream babies 😍
You only have one bad villager that you need to replace. I have 7. lol
@vernal oxide I just got ankha on my island
Going to be working on extending this forest today
It's only surrounding Redd's secret beach atm
@austere owl it is a slow process but as long as its areas YOU love, that is all that matters!
true
The only good villager I have is marshall
Can someone give me tips or ideas on how to make my map look better I don’t know what to do lol
Its is slow! Im using this method rn and I got my museum finished in 3 days! But it turned out how I liked it
What do you guys think of my entrance? Is it too decorated or not decorated enough?
@keen lion oh im so sorry aaa! its gorgeous, i love the terraforming and bridge. i would say more items hh
i have limberg on my island and when I tell people most ask why and its because hes nice, so it doesnt matter if others dont like your villagers or your island its yours not theres so be proud of it gtg in 5 mins so bye for now kinda
"The Path" Looks like my dream and nightmare at the same time
So I just got the ability to terraform and I have no clue where to start. I’m thinking of just making my whole island flat and then start making cliffs and rivers. Is that crazy or what suggestions do you have? Lol 😅
@umbral zephyr i didnt aether just go with the flow
@umbral zephyr I would say play around with it first before flattening everything haha a lot of people who flattened their island HATED IT
@umbral zephyr there’s also a super helpful guide for terraforming in the pinned section!
Does anyone have a butterfly garden I could see?
im kind of a hipy i just go with the flow
Does anybody have any suggestions on which floor for mermaid area
@north schooner i am in the process of making one, cant show it as my switch is dead
lol ok
Does anybody have any suggestions on which floor for mermaid area
@lavish crane The one to the left is cute!
@lavish crane I think left!
Guys pray for me im using "The path"
Thank you @abstract kelp @austere owl
@lavish crane i think the one to the left but go with what you like it your island or is it tom nooks
@vernal oxide okay great! I’m just so overwhelmed with possibilities lol and seeing other people’s beautiful islands makes me want to start but I get stuck lol
@north schooner not my picture but maybe this will help! You can also search for other pictures with the top right search bar and type in “ in:island-layouts has: image: butterfly “
oh true I didn't even think of that, thank you!
@umbral zephyr hahah dont stress about it hun!! Just take your time with it and play around with it ! It’s all about trial and error!
gtg bye
I don't know what I want to do right now... there's just so much to do lol
@north schooner the best advice I could probably give is to work section by section. I started from my entrance and worked my way out decorating and terraforming
Definitely! I have a lot done tbh but I don’t know what I want to do next.
Very true haha it’s not that serious and you can always change things if you hate it 😂😂
I do want to do pathing but I don't want like... straight up pathing that takes over the island because I love the natural-ness of it. I love the little dotted paths people do but it never quite works for me
@spare fiber as long as youre content with how your island looks like in game, your map is fine! what your map looks like isnt a direct reflection of what your island looks like, so try not to dwell too much on whether or not your map should look better~
Just finished doing this, how does it look ?
it's true, I do get caught up on the map though D:
Just finished doing this, how does it look ?
@shrewd delta I love the flowers, It make the area pop!
Thanks !
@woven drift maybe a pagoda if you have one
@shrewd delta in case you didnt know, you can customize the fabric on the loom! maybe you can change the pattern to make it match the flowers or one of the sweaters outside of the shop~
Thoughts on my beach pavilion? Think it looks a little plain 😅
oh it's so cute
@woven drift I would try to add a table and some chairs to sit at.
@north schooner dont worry too much about the look of the map, as long as you love how the island looks itself!!
oh @storm bluff i didn't know ! i'm gonna try customizing it,
I do love my little waterfall entrance mountain thingies though.
i need island inspo.
send pics of your villagers areas, nooks, and able sisters! i need some inspo for all them!
& an entrance idea
Does anyone have a public pool area on their island? If so could u show me a picture?
@vestal birch this is my Nooks and Ables! My villagers are all over the place and their yards need serious work lol
tysm!!
@drowsy python this is my pool area!! And I put a smoothie bar on the side with my orchard and bee farm!
@vernal oxide that looks awesome! Thanks for the inspo
@drowsy python this is my pool area!! And I put a smoothie bar on the side with my orchard and bee farm!
@vernal oxide looks so goodddd. stitches in the back🥰
@vestal birch stitches photo bombs so many of my pictures 😂 also this is my entrance: in between the top and bottom pics I have a fountain and benches!
@vestal birch my shops are really plain bc the location is suppose to be a LA shopping strip so there's only palm trees! And here are 6 of my villagers (Tammy has replaced Fang's house since this pic) that's down a canal (mirroring the Venice Canal in LA) :) hope it helps!
@vernal oxide that’s so pretty!
Any suggestions on the awkward corners?
Any tips to improve this area? (I'm planning to move the flowers)
I liked the flowers actually
Any suggestions on the awkward corners?
@modern wigeon I actually love this! maybe you can put some star lamps at the corners?
Any suggestions for what I should put in front of my zen garden?? Maybe a sushi bar or Octavians house?? Any other ideas?
Give me some kitchen inspo!
@thorny nebula try asking in #happy-home-designs if youre looking for interior inspo
Oh sorry! Thank you
Anyone have any idea what to do for these villager's lawn? I want to get other villager's for the 3 with X's on them😅
Can I come to someone’s island to have fun? I’m bored lol

@woven drift not mine but i fond these in different ac servers
@wispy jay I did this for Zucker!

@woven drift yep^^
@vernal oxide @upper ferry thx for the inspo, only problem is there yards are small😅😅
I need helps on my island i want a space natural theam island but i like the stone path and the 'the path' im stuck
Coco, Marina, and Muffy (similar concept as Lucky) @wispy jay
@stable iris they all look amazing!
@wispy jay I have a bunch of light wood stuff out of cocoa house like wash bucket and Cyprus tub. For lucky you should have tombstones
gorgeous!
@opaque mango oh okie!
@wispy jay give Erik a house with a campfire and some mush lamps! He’s the most natural villager in the game besides Fauna haha
@lunar thunder @upper ferry thx for the ideas!! And that looks amazing!!
Anybody have any inspo/ideas on how to lay out my museum here? I have a huge amount of space & I’m kinda stuck rn
Goodbye Fairytail logo 👆
Y’all I finally got (trapped) Celeste in her viewing area 🤩 HER EYES are so pretty
Hehe if you are looking for island inspo, my instagram is @ebon cedarisle 💛
@hidden gyro top to bottom pictures is like walking up to my museum. A huge area lol
I decided to tear down my island for the 50th time so..goodbye everything
It sure did now I have no space for anything 😢
@zealous grove make a huge yard sale!!😭
@vernal oxide omg ty!! That looks great I love it
Goodbye Fairytail logo 👆
@fair hill nooooo I thought about doing that but it was a headache... rip
Hahaha... I keep npcing stuff i dun need. U.U;;; and flower bombing people
Oof
Anyone have inspiration for a romantic date area? Mine is kinda plain...
Old layout before I smash everything
Yay!
Anybody have cottage core theme to their island? If so, can I see y’all’s map layouts?
My island is Disney themed island 🌴
@thorny dawn maybe add an upright piano for musical ambience. Try moving the tea set onto a serving cart and replacing it with a flower in a vase.
Ok now this is risky but i need some on to help my dig my flowers and place em on beach i need to pick up all my item fist it may take a while i will pay you thank you
I love making waterfalls that don’t make sense irl
@north knoll you might be able to find someone in #flower-plants-trade
Nice
Does anyone know what to do in this empty part of my island?
LF: Grand Piano, Kimono Stand, and Single tables! FT: NMT, gold, bells
Uhh this isn’t the market place
@upper ferry use #furniture-trade
Excuse me
@upper ferry there’s different chats. Was just letting you know which one to go to
Yeah no sorry I meant excuse me like I apologize
Someone who’s amazing at building please help me! Idk what to do with my entrance and it’s driving me crazy 😭
@hollow narwhal your island looks pretty urban from what I can tell, maybe like a visitor center?
@upper ferry it’s okay! It’s hard to tell someone’s tone through a message. And there’s someone who’s in this chat a lot who doesn’t like me for whatever reason 😂 so I’m usually on guard. I’m sorry hun!
@hollow narwhal This is what I did with mine! My RS is super close to my airport though. I love the idea of terraforming the entrance and creating waterfalls
@hollow narwhal im not good at building but it seems like its a city theme.. maybe add a bus stop since your coming from an "airport"
Anyone have any tips on how to make rivers look more natural? (Or maybe I can see everyone elses' rivers for inspiration)? I removed all my rivers and re-did them...they look like I tried too hard lol
@vernal oxide all good! You’re very polite! I love everyone who plays Animal Crossing New Horizons
That is true though, seems like your island is an urban/city style
Thanks so much guys! I literally have been stuck for MONTHS with this. It’s been empty since I got the game
@analog basin place the curves randomly and don't try to plan out where the river turns unless you really want it to go a certain direction. figure out an end and a beginning and just start digging (that's what I do)
@hollow narwhal If you use the search bar, there's some really good inspo under "city entrance" and "urban entrance" they might help!
My entrance is really off center because my airport is and it really bugs me but I don’t wanna redo my whole entrance cause that would take forever and idk what to do 😔😔😢😭😭
@fresh meadow what kind of island theme are you going for?
Pink with a lotta waterfalls
I don’t know what to do here lol
@final linden theres a list of ideas in the pinned section!!
Build an empire
Hello guys! I need some help on a big project in ACNH I’m starting tomorrow, I’m going to convert some of my island to a pirate/Wild West theme! Is anyone has any pictures, items, or ideas you think would work them please lmk!
@fresh meadow why not make a waterfall entrance but it's kinda forest-y like? (or beach themed, etc) and theres a windy dirt road that follows to resident services? (by 'entrance', you mean resident services, right?)
FT: Moon and Rocket ship. LF: a lot of bells (around 1.5-2 million)
I have a waterfall entrance but it’s still off center also those are good ideas
@upper ferry that’s a lotta money I’m trying to pay of my 1 M loan and it’s taking forever I need money sorry off topic anyway I’ll shut up now
@woven drift sorry wrong chat. @fresh meadow it’s very little money trust me 😉 I jisy don’t wanna do turnips tomorrow 😂😂
I need island inspo, if anyone could send in their map? Just so I could get an idea
That’s not a little money... for me.... I’m poor ok
Hello guys! I need some help on a big project in ACNH I’m starting tomorrow, I’m going to convert some of my island to a pirate/Wild West theme! Is anyone has any pictures, items, or ideas you think would work them please lmk! What I kind of what the area to be like, is if anybody’s by some chance been to Cedar Point, I’m basing it off Cedar Points frontier town.
@fresh meadow yeah i think the best way to deal with things being off center is to create a natural looking space with cliffs/waterfalls. but it flows really well? or anything not so symmetrical. even something like creating a windy hiking path from the airport to resident services would be cool!
does anyone have an example of an excellent usage of paths for a bench and shrub area? i saw this reddit post once but I just couldnt get off my mind how nice it looked
@analog basin Ok
Also where can I make money super fast?? I need help with that I’m very poor
ive used the search bar, yes with the has:image but I just cannot find that great use of curved brick paths and benches and shrubs in the middle
@red prairie type in has:image and try typing entrance, layout etc in the search bar
Could someone help me out with a question regarding bridges and cliffs
@red prairie this is what my map looks like currently!

Ok I just needs to pay off my loan but I’ll do that thx
@fresh meadow the easiest way I made money or got NMT was letting people catalogue items or sell items. Especially if you’re letting someone catalogue a whole set! It’s easy money
How do u let people catalogue items?
@low egret Pirate gulliver added in the update has a bunch of pirate items https://nintendosmash.com/heres-every-new-item-you-can-get-from-pirate-gulliver-in-animal-crossing-new-horizons/
@low egret type in “in:island-layouts has: image: Wild West” in the top right search bar
@fresh meadow you can use the catalogue channel and show people a picture of whatever you’re allowing them to catalogue. You can place the items down in a fenced area completely blocked with a stool. So therefore they can go into the items without paying you first. So if you have a stool in place of one fence it allows them to go in when you allow. All they need to do is pick up the item and drop it
Oh that’s cool imma do it
@low egret also try the subredit cause theres some good inspo there https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/search?q=pirate&restrict_sr=1
r/AnimalCrossing: Welcome to the Animal Crossing subreddit! Please review the rules before posting. Use the pinned Q&A + friend code megathreads. NO …
@fresh meadow and then you can set a price you want to charge for each person, or the amount of items. For instance I charged 3 NMT to let others catalogue the surfboard set. If you need a picture to see what I mean let me know and I can dm you!
So basically all the stuff I’ve ever picked up is catalogued ...?
@fresh meadow yup! There’s certain items that can’t be catalogued such as saharah wallpaper and flooring, Gulliver items, redd art, etc. but everything catalogued you can order yourself!
Ok cool imma do that tysm guys @vernal oxide Okie dokie
@vernal oxide ty! I didn’t know you could do that!
Anyone has their campsite on the beach?
My entrance is still a wip but here it is-
@dry acorn I did before on my old island. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures from that, but it was pretty basic. I had a little campsite with logs around it and a ukulele nearby and a few other things!
:( mine is also on the beach but it looks so plain
@soft plaza ty!
can someone send ideas of resident services? i don’t have any
I think I'm gonna move it to the back right corner. Rn it's at the front
I know this isn't the right place but more people are on here. Does anyone know the code for these planks?
@cosmic flax this is what I did with mine!
ooooh!! ty!!
I wish I could send videos here. I wanna show my entrance
@vernal oxide how do you take screenshots with your switch without just taking photos of your tv?
Best flower combo for in front of your museum that's surrounded by imperial fencing?
to take pictures or videos you can save them on your switch album and then post them on twitter and send it here then
Entrance is still wip, but here's mine. ft. Maple
@oak temple awe it’s amazing I love it
@low egret so if you take the picture with the nook phone or even just a picture with the switch button on the left side, I throw a filter on it, and send it to fb or Twitter! From there you can save it to your phone and upload it that way. Dm me if you need like video reference! It sounds super confusing
@vernal oxide oh that’s a really great idea! Ty!
@balmy violet if its me, i'd either put lilies or hyacinths.
@fresh meadow thank you 🥺 im having trouble on what to items/plants to put so it doesn't look too spacious
@oak temple well u did a good job 👏 my island is still trash lol 😂
What do you guys think of my entrance?
@dry acorn I found out today I can take a 30 second video on switch. If you hold down the picture button on your actual switch, it takes a video of the last 30 seconds of whatever you were doing. From there I posted it to my fb, went on my phone, screen recorded and THEN cropped it and so on to post here! Which turned into this;
@pearl compass it’s cute!! 😁
@fresh meadow trust me, my island now is 80% trash. bc i demolished it to actually have a theme 😭
@oak temple awe that’s too bad my island theme sucks it pink like wth 😂
@fresh meadow I wanted to go with my favorite colors, so I’m doing a small town kind of theme
@vernal oxide but how did you post it here? It only allows pictures!
@pearl compass well u did a good job jeez u guys are so creative I feel like I shouldn’t be here 😂
cap
@dry acorn nope! You can also post videos!
This is how my entrance looks currently. I'll see if I can send a vid bc at the end of the bridge is resident services
iM SO OVERWHELMED RN, THIS IS SCARY
@dry acorn I’m going to dm you so I can maybe break it down. It was super complicated
Agh thanks!
@fresh meadow i wanted mine to be pink too (but "simple asian pink theme" 🤣 ) but because of too much rain last month and my island was full of colors 🤦🏻♀️
@dry acorn your island is ADORABLE
@fresh meadow that’s how I feel! Everyone has amazing mountains and stuff! I just have my crazy theme.
@dry acorn ur entrance looks great! 
@oak temple oh lol 😂 @pearl compass yeah but ur island is ACTUALLY ADORABLE
@fresh meadow the rest of my island is trash lol
yea
@pearl compass the only part of my island I’m semi proud of is my entrance and even that isn’t centered right lol 😂
@dry acorn yea! and try adding benches for like waiting area
There are benches on the inside. Let me get a better pic. But yeah it needs something more
@pearl compass @fresh meadow SAME. haha! i put too much work for entrance 🤣
I put too much work in it so I don’t wanna start over to make it centered 😂
how to create circle path? similar to a roundabout?
@runic granite whoa ur making me feel really bad now 😬
@oak temple I figured I’d branch out from the entrance eventually
Nice
@pearl compass same but that didn’t happen 😂
I compeleted my museum!
Ok gtg now bye peoples
bye bye
i'd love to tour some fairycore/cottagecore islands! i can tip 99k bells : )
the better quality picture of my entrance
@pearl compass me too. i have too 😭
@runic granite omg I love it! I saw a girl make it on her YouTube channel. Truly a lot of creativity. I could never
I compeleted my museum!, Ya might have to full screen it...
"the path"
tbh why is it whenever i need a bamboo island for a villager and some diy i won't get it but whenever i don't want it i get them
@austere owl it’s cute!! I love the pathing you used for it! I would recommend maybe some more flowers and maybe even displaying fossils!
also uhh this is my entrance currently, if anyone wants to give me some ideas on what to add : )
@icy flint bc tom nook runs the game and he wont let us get what we want!
@austere owl i love it! also love the use of the weed! 😍
anyone have inspo for a art garden area
@austere owl I see the fossil LMAO maybe it’s too late for me to be up 😭😂
@frosty wedge add some bushes!
someone tear my map apart
Finished my nooks cranny! Heheh all the trees are money trees lmao
is there any shogi board in animal crossing or anything similar to it?
Im trying to go for a overgrown urban town with a bit of a cottage core feel to it
Heck yeah! I did it lol @vernal oxide thank you
@dry acorn no problem love!! It looks good!!
Thanks! I hope it'll look better once I add flowers
I've got some inspo pics for that @sullen sable
@dry acorn yep! definitely flowers lol add flowers, didn't know its that close, it looks great 😍
@sullen sable I didn’t necessarily do an art garden, but I made an art display area! Or working on one at least 😂
What y'all think?
@dry acorn yep! definitely flowers lol add flowers, didn't know its that close, it looks great 😍
@oak temple it's like 15 squares lol
@icy flint how about the go board?
Currently have a flower problem. Gotta figure this out
@vernal oxide its looks amazing 😍😍
@dry acorn I feel your pain. Beach them or just sacrifice them. Not like you cant grow/buy them from other people later anyway
moe can u send them :0
@oak temple thank you!! It leads up to Diana and Raymond’s houses which are in front of my library
@woven drift that will work haven't seen that before
I can’t save my video from twitter
@dry acorn I feel your pain. Beach them or just sacrifice them. Not like yoo u can grow/buy them from other people later anyway
@woven drift yeah I just feel like I'm selling or killing my babies. Even though I've been neglecting them and they've basically grown on their own 😂
@pearl compass screen record?
@pearl compass I screen recorded my video and then cropped it from there to post!
@vernal oxide omg the fancy houses haha i got those two too! i should put them both right next to each other too 🤣 bc im building library for diana's exterior and office for raymond. i can just hit 2 birds with one stone. You're genius envy!
beat ya too it lol
@oak temple aww thank you 😭🥰 I absolutely fell in love when I seen Diana in glasses. MY QUEEN SLAYS THAT LOOK
@icy flint and yeah but you came off rude asf about it 😂
@dry acorn I getcha. But trust me, taking the time to clear things out and having only the flowers you need made my life way easier
i don't mean to but atleast im straight to the point 
@vernal oxide right! also her tune sounds so fancy and elegant aaah
I have been loving the wedding fence, too
And I’m nice about it so 🥳
@oak temple and yesss!! Nobody can mess with Diana
Gotta add some paths and also FLOWERS as always
yall did amazing in ur museum my museum is surrounded by falls 🤦🏻♀️ its loud af hahaha
I finally got new pictures of my museum entrance so maybe it’s less explaining lol
I love how waterfalls look but they take up so much space and I'm too lazy to take the time to terraform everything 🙃
Aaaah it reminds me of how my museum looked before I tore everything down. Let me see if I can find a pic
my museum is like 3 feet away from my house 🤘😔🤘
@oak temple try having waterfalls around your house and getting on the game to hear a very loud waterfall 🤢
^ my house lmao
@dry acorn ikr its also 2 tier falls so.. 💀💀
Also! I finally stopped being lazy and got the newest pictures of my Able’s since I decorated with some Mom’s items!
um, @vernal oxide ur too amazing omg 😍 keep posting give us ideas!! 😍😍 hahah i love it sm
edit: crying in corner bc im too lazy and seems i cant finish a crap area in my island
And my library I still love more than any other part of my island. Took a new picture to show the other table and log chairs on the left side
@oak temple hahaha I’ve tore down this new island two times already. And with starting work I’ve become more and more lazy to fully finish everything 😅
Feedback please!
Does anyone have any good floor patterns for a museum type area? Im trying to make a Gulliver item museum and want something special
its the terraforming. i dont mind the crafting and looking for mata but TERRAFORMING STRESSES ME 😂 also my map hahah!
@light robin I think it looks good so far!! I would say maybe add a white drink machine, and move the bench you are on over a little to fit it and maybe even some street lights! (But ignore me if that’s not the loom you’re going for 😂)
Ty will put in pro consideration!🥰
These are my little destinations I made. I’m so proud of my silly spin class.
@oak temple when I tell you my entrance to museum went from first to second pics 😂😂 I didn’t terraform anything on my island. And then terraformed certain areas! Even if they were small
@light robin i was about to say streetlamps too, its looks good so far!
Thoughts on my onsen??? Are the statue placements okay? Like do you get it? 😖
I only have green drink machines, will that look okay
@pearl compass the spin class is a super cute idea!! Also yess!! Pic collage gang !
@ slyfri I'd wanna go there irl
LF cottagecore/natural inspo
Show me your star viewing areas! 🤩
@light robin try seeing if you can buy a white drink machine from nookazon or from #furniture-trade !
I don’t have online so :/
@vernal oxide somehow I got like 3 bikes and was like: well, time to make a spin class 🤣
@pearl compass @vernal oxide IT LOOKS AMAZING.
My full entrance area. I have free diy’s and my garden for watering up front
@light robin aw, what color is your drink machine?
Green
@oak temple thank you!
@light robin green might actually looks good to, probably( if u want to) customize the bench or find some items that can contrast but still kinda blends the colors of the machines, sorry not really good at explaining ☹️
@light robin I think it looks good then! You could also even make a stall and maybe customize some cushions with food designs!
Ok thank you everyone!
The only houses I’ve decorated lawns for 😬 I’m working on the rest lol
Before and after pic of my island entrance!
Im working on a whole bear area dedicated to my 3 cubs lol
One or two jail bars 🤔
@crisp depot this is mines but i tore it down . thiswas before the update when that secret water fall entrance glitch still a thing. changed it to a diving area haha
@stable iris i say two
Thanks!
LF inspiration for my ables and nooks entrance! i have the fairy/forest look going on rn any ideas?
@crisp depot this used to mine on my old island!
Diving area, inspired by one of the post i saw on ig 😅
Any suggestions on the awkward corners?
@modern wigeon put down the default path then round the corners then lay down the custom path on top of the default path
sushi bar <3
are those dark brown den desks?
@woven drift aaaaah 😍😍😍😍😍
sooner or later ima need to work on zuckers house and im going for a similar look
@rocky hare looks so good! also ur head on the statue hahah!
a knee slapper right there
@vernal oxide the way stitches was with the bears, i cant handle 🥺
@oak temple ty! All I need is the real statue and I'll be satisfied lol
@icy flint and yes they are!
@oak temple he’s so adorable and photo bombed so many pictures 😂 like my pool picture I took- I think it’s cause I have a honey area set up to the right where he’s running 😂
To the cottagecore gods on here: would you mind sending pics of your map layout? Curious to see how some of you space out your buildings
personally i like to put fake statues on display rather than real idk why just incase one of my best friends take it
if only redd visits more often and gulliver would give good items other than that hair thingy he gave me 🤣 bc he never gives me good ones 😭
only good thing i got was the tower of pisa and that was a QUICK flip lmao
@woven drift
why does your map look bigger than mine
@vernal oxide he was running while i was taking cute pics of poppy yesterday 🤣🤣 but i also happen to capture a moment for poppy 🤣
anyone got nice shops/market/ables/nooks inspo?
@oak temple that is literally so freaking cute!
@soft belfry this is mine!!
Any ideas for this space? It's Freya's house island. Obviously flowers n path are probably not staying
@stable iris oh wow, I sense "the path" on here, very nice layout! Do you ever miss the in game designs, or does the customizing leave you satisfied with it?
unfortunately this is the only picture i have 🤣 but ables was behind ny cranny @soft belfry
I have a little picture of dom on my gas pump and I cant stop laughing at it 🤣
This makes me so happy
y'all have amazing islands and ideas!! 😍😍 i gtg , have a good night everyone or day!
Anyone have any ideas of what to put to the left of my plaza?
@woven drift Thanks! I actually haven’t used ‘the path TM’, but my island is essentially custom designs. Since I actually don’t really care what my map looks like, I don’t mind not using the stock paths ☺️
@unreal sundial there’s a list of ideas in the pinned section that might fit!
@vernal oxide where do I find the pinned section?
I made a tiki bar! Any ideas to what I can put at the bottom of the area?, I’m thinking on more chairs but what’s the point of no one will see them.
@unreal sundial if you’re on mobile there’s a little person icon in the top right corner and then click on that, then click on “pins” and just scroll down until you see a black list and pink list! If you don’t see it let me know!
@vernal oxide ohh ty!!!
@green olive I think adding some coconut drinks on the table would be cute!!
@Panpan#5223 foosball table
@green olive I think adding some coconut drinks on the table would be cute!!
@vernal oxide tysm! Now that I think about it it’s a great idea!
What do you all think about my work in progress butterfly sanctuary? It needs a bit more light, more butterflies, and more nature. But here is a general look. It will also be extending down into the beach via custom path.
it looks great!
Also, I need to put in a bridge, plus, the current path will be replaced with this one. Just gotta wait till tommorow so ables is open
@woven drift do you by any chance have the code for the stalls?
Also, j was thinking garden lanterns would light the place up nicely. Or should I use hyacinth lamps?
I like how you use the flowers to hide the stands. It is a great illusion! @indigo ravine
@indigo ravine hyacinth lamps!! I was just about to mention that 😂
Thanks a bunch. Ok. I'll wait for my purple hyacinths to clone and make em
@icy flint dms <33
@indigo ravine I have a purple hyacinth little field if you want to come by and pick them! I’m watching YouTube so I can swing them open for you!

@vernal oxide great! I'll dm you. I've got a friend over right now, but I can come after they leave!
The first spot on my island im proud of 
updated map of Slurp 🙂
@green olive Love the tiki bar!!! I made a lil cantina beach party area in that vein. Yours looks great!
I have hella blank space
Cottoncandy Beach stand <3
Can i get some help with cliff building, im trying to build a place for nooks cranny
@woven drift what exactly are you trying to do? I put my ables behind my Nooks on a cliff
Im trying to build this area up to a small shopping area for my nooks cranny
@woven drift I would say terraform a cliff, do you want a huge area in front of Nooks? Or just a walkway up?
what would yall offer for marina in nmt
wrong channel, try #acnh-chat⛱️ or #villager-trade
tbh i see her going around for free sometimes on the free villager channel
yeah my friend got her free lol
A small area with some cliffs and some trees considering its already on a cliff
@woven drift the shop is a 7x4 dimension. So if you build a cliff depending on how big of an area you want, make a marker to outline where the shop would go! And give it room depending on what you want to add
tbh villagers like kabuki (only one who i paid for) was worth any nmt for me
i got coco for free since i got lucky, and zucker
Hunted mansion
Thanks
@woven drift or if it’s easier. Mark the dirt path to outline, terraform it up, then terraform up more area around to add trees and such!
on the way to residential area☺️
@crisp depot that’s so cute, what are those rock candy looking lights? They’re so pretty
@crisp depot that’s so cute, what are those rock candy looking lights? They’re so pretty
@green olive the rock candy looking lights are nova lights , and i think u can find the diy from celeste
They are nova lights :)
Diana knows that tree doesn’t belong 😅
Oh! I’ll make sure to get the diy because i need to decorate something with those, tysm! @crisp depot and @elder oracle !
She said "I know dang and well that aint right" @minor cloak Lmaoaooao
Hey!! I have this odd section by my house that I don’t know what to do with. Any ideas?💞
Oh! I’ll make sure to get the diy because i need to decorate something with those, tysm! @crisp depot and @elder oracle !
@green olive i have the diy lol , if u want to u can hmu . u just need the supplies thats all i ask for : ) , its just 5 star fragments
Anyone wanna show off their beach restaurant? or just anything cool they did with their beach hehe
