Any ideas for huge spaces of free land? half of my island has nothing on it and ive got no idea 
@gray berry add more cliffs and trees to give dimension. @sharp canopy whats your theme and what do you have on there already ?
oh woah
@twilit lintel thanks
@gray berry make shops and areas multi levels. You can also make your higher levels smaller and have multiple of them. Not everything will need to be in masses
Anyone know where on my island to put my flower garden?
Any ideas for my beach??
@gray berry you can also use simple panels to create illusions such as buildings and whatnot. i used simple panels to create a hotel and a shopping building
I need ideas for a themed area around Bob's house
@twilit lintel thanks
@twilit lintel I'm sort of transitioning into a cottagecore sort of island but adding my own preferences to it, I've got nothing on those parts of my island at the moment, my entrance, residents area and my house area is done, I'm just stuck now 😦
what could i add here?
Here’s a few examples of how I used simple panels. @gray berry
@austere timber maybe a fountain?
and does anyone have ideas for my entrance
What should I use with this space??
@sharp canopy
@austere timber try adding waterfalls
Anyone know where on my island to put my flower garden?
@twilit lintel amazing thanks
@sharp canopy With cottage core, add a lot of nature, trees and forrests ,small work areas like an area to chop wood or a small farm, you gotta make the area fill lived in while also maintaing an overgrown back to nature look
What do you think of Elvis' garden?
ner the river
@gray berry i noticed you keep going from different areas and not working on one specific area. i suggest you to focus on one area at a time so you dont overwork yourself and give yourself some time to think about other areas
@twilit lintel @soft plaza thank you so so much!!!
Anyone got beach wedding inspo pictures
Idk what to call this area
Hello does anyone have an example of there multi level residential area? I need inspiration!!
@twilit lintel I will try to focus more on my neighborhood and then my empty spaces. Thanks
@gray berry maybe start on your entrance. a lot of people have trouble with entrances.
I started one
@eager burrow stunning
imagine having a good looking island 😳
this post was made by the people who thought they had a good idea but then they scrapped it and has had no good ideas since gang
@shell pine i have a dinner reception area thats on the beach in the back of the island. but i designed a house entirely for the wedding. each room is themed for the wedding.
@twilit lintel this is my entrance so far
Who was the one that dm me, cause I can’t seem to find the dm, just dm me again. Thanks
@gray berry build on that. try to see how you want your roads placed and work on that. i wouldnt suggest working in so many areas.

@twilit lintel ty!
Hello does anyone have an example of there multi level residential area? I need inspiration!!
@twilit lintel ok thanks
@gray berry What i would suggest if your having trouble with your island is to prep the island first with the needed terraforming then start filling it in with where you want things to be and then fill in the details
Any ideas on how I can make this area have a more zen look? I realised that this doesn't fit to the theme I'm going for very well
hello, this is the orange section of my flower garden : )
@zinc gulch you can go to the search bar and type in "mentions: "user"" and type in your name to see who mentioned you
Anyone have any beach design pics ? Trying to figure out how to make my beaches look better and not as much as if I’m tossing random furniture on them (that’s what I’m doing now LOL)
Any ideas on what to do with the cliff above Nook’s?
@sturdy ore the benches, tables, and streetlights clash with a zen theme. i would replace those items with the bamboo benches and other bamboo items. the fountain may still work with the theme if you can add white flowers to the area
@sturdy ore here’s my little zen entrance, hope u can take inspiration from it
@pallid sentinel trees, flowers, small waterfall
Thank you!
@sturdy ore change the garden benches to bamboo benches, chagn the iron garden tables to another type and replace the streetlamps, you got a fairly european plaza going on at the moment so you just need to find more japanese items to use rather than the euro-centric ones
how are you guys getting pictures from your switch onto your phone? and i don’t mean by taking a picture of my switch, i mean getting the picture directly from my switch onto my phone
Does anyone have a beach cafe design I can get inspiration from?
@pallid sentinel trees, flowers, small waterfall
@scenic blaze Thanks
What should I do in this corner of my entrance?
Fountain
@tired sentinel upload the picture to facebook or twitter and save it on your phone
@tired sentinel I just take a photo on my phone
flower garden
A cozy riverside cafe would be nice too
@woven drift u could make a small picnic
@scenic blaze ty
@lean oar one of those pictures has Alice tiki bar/cafe @green iris here’s some pictures of my beaches/boardwalk. You can put whatever I have onto the beach honestly
Ty!
I love what u done here @twilit lintel
I made this beach view fancy restaurant but something seems missing any advice ? 🥺
@zinc gulch thank you!
Completely redid the bamboo area. I would like some feedback
@sand rock put the potted plant on the other side of the podium.
LF: pink/white themed island inspo !
And maybe mix the tree like have the normal tree and then bamboo
@woven drift your place is so pretty
Love what you done @woven drift
ty :c but idk how to continue
Maybe if it’s too big, u could add a forest to block off the path or make it looks like it’s still being constructed @woven drift
Hi! Anyone have a 5* island I could visit? I’m looking for inspiration for my next island project!
@tender ferry whats your next project?
What should I put here? It will be by my villagers houses
@tender ferry whats your next project?
@twilit lintel I’m thinking of making a city themed island, but I’d love to see what others are doing with their island, no matter the theme ❤️
@pastel coral maybe add a little hang out spot or a decking area
@pastel coral there is a list of ideas in the pins, check that list and see if something inspires you
@soft plaza ty! very cute!
Everyone is impressing me lol, might need to steal ideas
Any Raymond’s yard inspo?
LF: pink villagers yard inspo
Can someone give me your opinion ab this :> thankyou
any ideas on what to put here?
@woven drift I’m totally stealing your entrance lol
Anyone know what i can do do decorate this area? i can get rid of the river and flowers etc etc, and i just wanna make it better :)
@sand rock I thinks it’s nice! May change the color of the post with directions on it!
@sand rock what’s is the theme and maybe add trees of different varieties
@still laurel maybe make stall to represent what the shops about or a market area
ok! thank you :) @zinc gulch
@zinc gulch honestly don’t have a theme 😭 i have been struggle to find inspiration aiming for natural aesthetics
@fallow shadow this is next to the museum? maybe look at museum inspo and see what looks nice to you. most people use fossils or statues to fill small spaces near the museum
Oh yeah, that does sound good, I'll go look at some inspo and maybe add fossils around it
anyone have some suggestions of what i can put here? i’ve been stuck for forever !
@young widget for Chrissy
@fossil summit u could make a small orchid
@deep spear cute! are the palm tree lamps customized to pink?
Can any one give my Ideas for the out side of my shops (nook and crannies and able sisters)
Any idea what to do with this area? It’s the same area, but just showing that Nook’s is near a part of a beach! Also Nooks is next to resident services
Does anyone have any cool ideas for an entrance
lil beach front village + boardwalk vibe! idk how i feel about it rn tho so i might demolish 
@brazen holly u can put a mini clothing area near ables. but some girl clothes on one side and boys on the other? with some outdoor changing rooms and a stall with a fax machine (as a cash register)
What do you think and how can I improve
@brisk kernel here is my entrance, it’s not the best but my resident services is sooo close to the airport so i tried my best lol
@fossil summit tysm
@cold spoke i really like the look of it!
does anyone have entrance ideas
@brisk kernel here’s my entrances if u need more inspiration
tysm, i think im just stressed at how it only looks good from a certain angle
my island is pink/pastel themed
@brisk kernel Heres my entrance
@zinc gulch tysm
Hey folks! I have a naturey island that has several portions as a WIP (don't we all lol). I'm looking for a few people that can come, check out my island and give feedback on the areas they liked/didn't like, why, if they have suggestions for the WIP areas, and let me know what the overall vibe they get from my island is. It's probably going to stay a 4-star island forever because of the number of trees haha. Message me if interested! Only letting 3 people on right now 🙂
lf beach area ideas, mine's so empty! pls drop whatever u have in ur island :c
@floral nimbus can I come?
@soft plaza tysm
@austere timber my entrance, my island is also pink/pastel theme (:
@wide abyss tiki bar? you could add a beach cafe
@floral nimbus love to help if u need to
Hkw do I make a good market street
@wide abyss This is what i have on my beaces, its one half of the constellations, the other half is on the eastern beach
Any advice
@frozen granite maybe make that gap bigger and then add stalls to the sides as little shops and maybe some panels to acts like hang objects
I have no spaceeee if I do thst it has to be moved somewhere else and I wanted to use this extra space for it because there’s planned stuff for the other areas
Can I visit someone’s island so I can see where they put all the houses and stores?
@hollow mulch heres my map if this helps
That helps, thanks!
@frozen granite u could have one side as stalls and the other side as the pathway
Red or white?
@sturdy ore I agree that the lighter color looks better, and it matches the partitions you have
my entrance at night. 💫
I'll take white then
anyone made some outdoor region with mermaid furnitures? could you share? need some inspirations
Does anyone have one of those... floating plaza-y thingies? Like a big island surrounded by water I could see? I'd look in the search but idk what everyone calls them
@north schooner are you talking about the bit of land that sticks out from the main island? or are you referring to creating an island on the mainland?
Guys this is my library. Hust wondering what else i should put in it
@stuck trail like something that you terraform into the island itself. sometimes people put them before their resident services with like... benches
@quaint crow I think a low table might be nice by the sofa, or an additional seating area on the right side of the library. you could add a stack of books or a globe
Any ideas for yet another weird small space on my island?
bakery? apiary?
I’m gonna remove the market street
My Campsite 🍄
Most common villager house space? 7x7?
does anyone have a bakery outside? i wanna make one but i need inspo!
Here’s Lolly and Molly’s homes! They both love the flowers as they’ve told me so I thought it would be perfect to put them in the flower field where they can enjoy the beautiful view!
Most common villager house layout? Trying to make it all aesthetically pleasing. 7x7? 9x9? 7x6 ? Etc
@young widget > Guys this is my library. Hust wondering what else i should put in it
@quaint crow
Maybe a stack of books? It's a diy, you need 5 books for it and can customize it to multiple different styles :)
Thanks i will look for it!
@quaint crow i have an extra diy!
@hollow python I think 7x6 or 7x7 is probably most common? That's a guess tbh. Mine are ~9x9 bc I found 7x6 to be too small for me
@young widget i will dm you my code
@unique warren what do you mean
So I’m trying to make a little market area, but I’m not too sure how to design it, and with the space that I have. Any ideas? Please help :)) and sorry for the bad photo quality (there’s some more space behind the picture)
Does anyone have some Ables and nook inspo that I can see?
Does anyone have a urban themed island? looking for inspo pics
@silent sluice I’m not sure if this helps, but my island has a cute little market!
Might be some inspo for your idea.
@silent sluice
Is this too much blue steel in one place? Tia’s blue house is at the top of the stairs btw
Ok so i have this huuuge chunck of land and i dont know what to do of it
Il open to all idea, i already have a camping site, a little restaurant, my residential areas, a little parc...
@noble root No it looks really good! Make sure to plant blue and white roses to keep with the color scheme!! 💛
@twilit lintel and @woven drift ty!
Anything I should change in my entrance?💗
@zealous sinew you should give me the code for those rocks*
Np!! <3
@zealous sinew i think your entrance is beautiful omg
@eternal arch there are some island build ideas in the pins if you're stuck (:
@woven drift haha dm me i got it!
@zealous sinew It looks amazing! I might add an area for the diy’s and put a sign to keep everything organized! 💛💛
@woven drift ah thank you so much!! 💗
@zealous sinew I think it looks really nice, only thing that throws me off a bit is the tiki torches? Maybe that's just me though
@woven drift ah good idea! thank you!!
@stuck trail hmm I’ll see what it looks like without them! thank you!!
Of course! Maybe adding on to alani you could add soft serve lamps or floor lights instead! @zealous sinew
@woven drift ah perfect i can finally put those to use hehe, thanks!!
@zealous sinew ^^^ I would replace with something. I feel like the tall lanterns would look nice there. or even mermaid lamps?
LF Cottagecore insp
cool!!
Anyway those are my thoughts! Take my ideas with a grain of salt because I myself have much to learn in terraforming! 💛
hey! LF pink or white themed island tour !
LF cottage core, Zen, or Galaxy themed island tours!
does anyone with a cottagecore theme have lolly? if so can u show her yard? im so stuck lmao
Hey guys i need some help / ideas for my house plot area, it’s a 12x16 space. Looking to try to make it a jap shrine area with a pond and bamboo / cherry blossom item with my house of course. 😇. Any suggestions on item placement/ what to use
What else could i add/improve?
Here are my 3 villagers houses
Does anyone have cute campsite inspo?
Street looks empty what should I put here?
You could get some drains from nook miles! Or you could add those white street lines in the middle!! 💕 @willow elm
Maybe benches?
Little memorial for my 10 yr old dog who passed last Wednesday 💙
@willow elm possibly more streetlights. if you do get the manhole covers, you can customize them to be more colorful. I think there's one that has pink
Aw that’s so sweet to see. I’m so sorry for your loss it’s very hard loosing a best friend. 💕💛 @frank linden
@stuck trail @midnight karma @woven drift thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you so much, it was the last picture of her that I took 💙 @woven drift she was my first puppy
ofc!! 💖. @willow elm
does anyone have inspo for skyes yard? i’m really struggling
@frank linden My dog I’ve had since I was 1 is getting very old. It’s gonna be difficult to say goodbye to her for the last time. But we need to remember that wherever we are they are always next to us. 💞 It’s sad that the time we share together is so short.
Making a fortnite island and i just noticed the river to the right is botched lol
does anyone have any ideas for my entrance? my residents services is 4 spaces away from the airport
Agreed, I'm just glad that we gave her a good life. It was hard cause it was unexpected but glad I could make her happy @woven drift ❤️
Found the dead center of my island. Put a fountain on it. Now, imma make a village square around it and put mountains around all that
Nice
Anyone got ideas for this thing i just built? Ive got none
@true acorn what's your island theme?
5 STAR island tour! Free entry, but tips are appreciated 🙂 DM me for Dodo Code!
@long stream I dont really have one just better than my friend’s i guess
Ok so i tought for a bit and i still dont knowwww
I think a space where i put all Gulliver stuff would be fun but idk how i should put it...
@true acorn you could put celestial items there light Nova light and crescent moon chair with white flowers
@eternal arch you could use custom designs to make the area look like pirate ship and out all the pirate items there with the other items
I still need another statue when redd comes along and that money tree is still growing, how would you improve this? It's Elvis' garden
@long stream yeah that would be cool but all that is literally in front of it
@true acorn then maybe a moon up top, and a bench down below to see it and flowers and flower lamps on the spiral
What should I add? I’m redoing my entrance.
@long stream omg yes great idea
@eternal arch If it's normal Gulliver stuff I think it'd be cool near the museum and make it into into a exhibition area with fake info charts and the viewing glasses (idk what it's called) . Just and idea lol
@long stream that would be fun ye :0
@raven pecan nah its pretty far away from the museum
@woven drift may I suggest Nova lights and fancy flowers?
Ok gang how do i boat-
oooooo I have those that sounds good
@eternal arch I'll send you a code for custom, designs
Thanks!
anyone have a creative idea on masking the green ledge around the beach? trying to expand my beach but that ledge is an eyesore. only idea i have is putting tall objects in the way.
@eternal arch I'd suggest putting it in water first
Just chilling 😎
@eternal arch am i blind or are those green roses?
They are yellow :')
ah so i am color blind
Does anyone have a farm on their island?
Hey guys! I’m looking for villager yard ideas so if you have any please send them on here or dm me! I have Chrissy, poppy, fauna, Diana, marina, Rosie, audie, molly, lily, and maple! 😊
So I made a lot of progress on my entrance. It’s missing some items and other stuff but I’m proud 😄
i want to redesign my island, should i move everything to the beach and put them in new spots or work with the layout i currently have and decorate?
@small mist I put marina and poppy in my water bungalow resort area because they didn’t have anywhere else to go on my island. But Audie has her own surf shack
@small mist Not my island, but I saw this on Instagram for Molly
i need some items that would go good with a green, pink and white color pallet (im thinking some artwork?) pls lmk what u think!
i need villager house layout ideas!
My marina
@young widget here’s some of mine. But they aren’t in a neighborhood. They are scattered around my island
I love that diner
So cute thank you guys! @haughty sigilchan2 @noble root @atomic quest
@woven drift thank you 😊
@twilit lintel do all these areas give you less space to decorate your island?
and i need pink/white themed entrance ideas!
@young widget nope. They are integrated into my island actually. Each house is in a themed area that fits into my theme seamlessly
@twilit lintel i actually saw it before and made a room in my house like that
Hello! can i see your creative pond designs? Anybody ever made a clover pond out of 4 hearts or a crescent pond?
@woven drift nice!!! Send pictures!!
Actually I’d love to invite you over once I can get on
any one have any pretty flower combos? im thinking zen vibes
@twilit lintel cool! ty!
@woven drift yeah I’ll so be down! I won’t be on for a while, but dm me!
Red mum with orange windflower? @timber stump
@twilit lintel I’ll be on in about 2 hours
would this look better if i moved the top waterfall back one tile?
I'm doing a tropical themed island and was wondering what I should do with this strip of land to the right??
Boat?
@young widget no problem! Also, I noticed that when villagers are grouped together in one area, they tend to not explore most of the island. I used to have them in one area and they never really explored the island until I scattered them. Since they are scattered, they are more willing to explore other parts of the island while they visit their friends.
I'm doing a tropical themed island and was wondering what I should do with this strip of land to the right??
@somber bluff ooh cabanas!
what does boat mean?
Before and after!! I did a picnic area for the corner of my entrance!
Boat boat
Does anyone have a hybrid farm/garden area? Mines too big and too much of a grid so I'm looking to change it to give me more space (':
@somber bluff if you ever need some inspo, lmk! We have the same theme. As to that strip of land, where is that exactly? What’s around it?
@eternal arch Boat boat boat boat. Boat.
oh gosh
Palm trees and hibiscus shrubs
Boat aside im gonna need lots of blue flowers to make the sea
You think you have something for the simple panel?
@eternal arch what do you mean? Like a design?
Any time I come to this channel I'm always like:
Ye to make the boat walls..
anyone know what i could do here? :)
Which do I go for? Hold on...
@still laurel market street
ok! thank you @sour locust
@sacred siren how'd you get fossils on trees?!
lmao fossils on trees
from a giveaway, tis a hacked item
@still laurel np I feel like that would be the better option to fill in the space
@long stream hacks or the black market trade
any suggestions on how i should shape my lake? i need help omg
shape it like a heart too
Ye to make the boat walls..
@eternal arch you can probably go to the #misc-pattern-codes or #custom-design-help🎨 to find some

or make it long
@spare escarp if you want it look like a perfect heart, use pixel art sinc terraforming is pretty much that
that’s a good idea! i did not think about that lmao i was trying to make it more of a circle last night
Youre right ill go there
@soft plaza i will try that! thank you 🙂
Any ideas for my little library area?
@cloud thorn heres mine
Any ideas for my little library area?
@cloud thorn Add a table in the center, needs lighting, prob some mugs or cups
Nice
and this one is also great (this one isnt mine)
Mine is tiny with a cubicle area because of my giant lake
@eternal arch
Thank you guys! I had no idea what to do with it. 🙂
@cloud thorn I'd make walls with screens
@long stream you're cream and sugar thank you!
what can i do do make this area look more like idk cottagecore and less dead,,, like idk i tried lightning but i want it more to b more idk happier lmao
@deft haven more color! Add some bright flowers, fencing, maybe a garden lantern for some subtle lighting. One of my favorite cottagecore details is log stakes in front of a tree, try that
what can i do do make this area look more like idk cottagecore and less dead,,, like idk i tried lightning but i want it more to b more idk happier lmao
@deft haven I would try throwing in a barrel or decoy duck or the log stakes
@deft haven also maybe country fencing
Best fencing for cottage core imo is: Straw fencing, country fencing, stone wall, hedges, log stakes
ty!!
It’s all coming togetherrrr
hi guys! i just restarted my island so i’m wondering what ideas you guys have!
@craggy swallow are you looking for a theme?
@craggy swallow I'm about to restart too!
My able sisters
@dire tapir
yeah i’m looking for a theme! i’m going to try to fill my island with lazy villagers!
Cute use of thr shrooms @cosmic hollow
Also just finished this ^^
Hey! This is a really weird request but I don't know where to post this. Would someone come and help me make an entrance for my island as I don't know what to do for it :)
i want my island to be like a sleepyhead island filled with lazy bois
In the cityyyy
i want my island to be like a sleepyhead island filled with lazy bois
@craggy swallow I don't think you can have all the same villager type without amiibo. I heard a while back that the game limits you to like 4 or something. Do some research tho
@craggy swallow lazy villagers like fishing, bug catching, sitting under things, fossils, flowers and fashion
Hey! This is a really weird request but I don't know where to post this. Would someone come and help me make an entrance for my island as I don't know what to do for it :)
@plucky helm so no one can make the entrance for you because we can’t physically do it. The game does not allow other people to terraform on other ppl island. We can only give you advice. But you’re more than welcome to post pictures of it and someone will try their best to give you advice
@tiny moss I'm pretty sure he can just use villagers in boxes to fill them out
@tiny moss I'm pretty sure he can just use villagers in boxes to fill them out
@dire tapir ooh right. You can't find them on islands tho
@craggy swallow i would almost do like a getaway resort...sounds lazy living to me
My entrence is close to my rs and I don't know what to do w it 😂
My entrence is close to my rs and I don't know what to do w it 😂
@plucky helm If you want to get from the airport to the RS quick, you can do a diagonal bridge leading there. Those always look really nice
My entrence is close to my rs and I don't know what to do w it 😂
@plucky helm If you don't wanna get to RS immediately, you can create a terraformed area between the RS and airport, and make the path go around it, so it feels further away
@plucky helm mine is too, but I wanted to creat distance, so i cut the path to not be able to go straight to it
Ty sm everyone
Wondering what more I could add to here?
thank you for the help guys!
@plucky helm your RS doesn’t seem that close honestly. I think I’ve seen closer. Here’s my entrance. It’s pretty simple. My Rs is to the right of those street lamps behind the water fall
@plucky helm your RS doesn’t seem that close honestly. I think I’ve seen closer. Here’s my entrance. It’s pretty simple. My Rs is to the right of those street lamps behind the water fall
@twilit lintel tysm
@hot yew I might change the tables to something smaller like end tables so that you could fit more into that area. I personally like the iron tables or the rattan end tables
My RS is close to airport. It's frustrating to make good entrance. I wanna do waterfall but it just seems full to me
My arcade
Marshal and Eugene's yard. Trying to stay with the overall darker theme but give them yards to fit them a little.
@twilit lintel ty I do not own rattan end tables, but I'll search. Also what should I put on my tiki bar store booth?
I just finished the entrance to my house! :)
@hot yew maybe get a fruit dispenser juicer thing. I don’t remember what it’s called. And maybe change the stall design to tiki design.
I reworked my plaza and I like the outcome (I ran out of ideas for the center)
@plucky helm why the shocked emote?
It's so gooddd
It's so gooddd
@plucky helm oh lol idk if thats the right emote for it
is a sleepyhead island theme a good idea if i want to fill my island with lazy villagers?
@wheat yacht omg that looks so cool!
@twilit lintel ty I'll be on the search and I used a thatch custom design.
Any ideas on what I should add?
@hot yew you can find some on the #furniture-trade or on nookazon.com
@scenic moat Ohmygoodness thank you! TvT it took me foreverrr
@opal zenith what is that area supposed to be?
@twilit lintel like a picnic area in a park
@opal zenith I'd add a TV and make it an outdoor theater
I can find a custom design for you
@opal zenith you need flowers! Books and flowers on the tables? Maybe some butterfly/bug models too? Picnic baskets... + bonfire!
Where do you guys have your villager homes? All over or in a area
Any ideas on what I should add?
@opal zenith Flowers, bushes, fencing, trees, weeds, some foliage can go a long ways
@split spire I do it in one area
I usually like all over but mine are in a little neighborhood
Can i see your map?
Where do you guys have your villager homes? All over or in a area
@split spire I have all mine on one side of the map in a forest (they each have / share plots)
This is my resident area
@plucky helm your RS doesn’t seem that close honestly. I think I’ve seen closer. Here’s my entrance. It’s pretty simple. My Rs is to the right of those street lamps behind the water fall
@twilit lintel what path is in the first picture is it a coustum design?
@split spire my villagers are scattered. They each have their own area and job for the most part. Except marina and poppy. They are in the water bungalow resort area
Heres my map
@west olive I know you mentioned this a while ago, but with the waterfall looking too full: my resident services it directly behind the elevated ground, as long as it’s small it won’t look like it’s too much I think ☺️
@split spire my villagers are scattered. They each have their own area and job for the most part. Except marina and poppy. They are in the water bungalow resort area
@twilit lintel i love the job idea
@steep wind thank you. I might try something like that 😊
@west olive I’m glad I could be of help! 🙂
@long stream I already made an outdoor theater
@tiny moss @frosty summit thanks I’ll try doing that 😊
But does anyone have any ideas how I can decorate on the cliff? Some parts are 1 square wide and some 2 so I can’t put trees on there 😦
@split spire thank you! I tried to integrate them into my island society rather than just having them as an islander
But does anyone have any ideas how I can decorate on the cliff? Some parts are 1 square wide and some 2 so I can’t put trees on there 😦
@nikki.amethyst#0424 theres a glitch now whwre you can put trees on small cliffs check it on youtube
are anyone’s gates open ? i could use some inspo 💖
@split spire oh thank you! I didn’t know that
What are some good coustum designs for paths
@split spire oh thank you! I didn’t know that
@nikki.amethyst#0424 and dont worry its not like the star trees where itll crash your game its just a legit glitch if they fix it the trees will disapear
But does anyone have any ideas how I can decorate on the cliff? Some parts are 1 square wide and some 2 so I can’t put trees on there 😦
@steep wind oooh I gotchu. Okay so for single tile spaces, country fencing or log stakes look gooood. You can add bushes, with hedges as well in a bit larger areas. Use weeds to decorate as well, they work great! Also, some of the stone DIYs work great for filling space and adding a variation in height, like the tall garden rock (60 rocks).
@copper thorn are you looking for cottage core inspo
@long stream yeah totally !
@tiny moss ooh I love all of those ideas! I legit screenshotted it aha. And @split spire that’s good then!
@willow elm in the middle picture, maybe add a fountain so it doesn’t look so empty in the middle
@tiny moss ooh I love all of those ideas! I legit screenshotted it aha. And @split spire that’s good then!
@steep wind If it fits your aesthetic, use nova stars, crescent moon chairs, and if you have, mush lamps to decorate too!
@twilit lintel hmm i dont think anyone would be able to sit on the benches plus the fountain is pretty big
@willow elm then maybe a statue?
@twilit lintel Which one?
does anyone have a small library... can i see for inspo
@willow elm I don’t know. test out a bunch of types
@tiny moss it deffo does fit my theme, I’ve got a few mush lamps there atm but I could add more
@willow elm valiant statue I think would look nice
@tiny moss it deffo does fit my theme, I’ve got a few mush lamps there atm but I could add more
@steep wind Also!! Star clock!! They are massively underused and when placed backwards, they look like mini nova stars. Helps add depth to areas and break up monotony of nova stars
@tiny moss ooh I’ve never heard of that! I’ll have to look up what it looks like aha
Ooh they look really cute @tiny moss
Hey guys I need ideas. I’ve made a huge flower garden right outside my home and remodeling an anime cafe does anyone have any ideas to go along with that?
Also, does anyone have any ideas for how I can decorate outside my museum? It’s a really small area so idk what to do with it. (Also Genji looking iconic)
@twilit lintel @sterile cypress I was actually able to fit a fountain and made it fit just right so villagers can sit down on the benches
Also, does anyone have any ideas for how I can decorate outside my museum? It’s a really small area so idk what to do with it. (Also Genji looking iconic)
@steep wind Statues, waterfalls, bug models. I would elevate the area to the right, and make a small environment with a waterfall, tree, flowers, maybe statue. Depends how much room you got
Hey guys I need ideas. I’ve made a huge flower garden right outside my home and remodeling an anime cafe does anyone have any ideas to go along with that?
@willow elm much better! Glad it worked out
Anyone?
@tiny moss The only thing I’d have to do is move the river, which I could do anyway
@frank crane what area you looking for in particular? I can’t determine if your asking for help on your house yard, the anime cafe, or the garden.
I mean ideas I have a lot of space and don’t know what to do with it
@frank crane theres a list of ideas that pinned in this channel. It has some common ideas that you could add
@frank crane
So this is my map, I don't know what to do and what to ad, the only places where I have somethin are those above and left from my house, anyone got any idea what I could possible add anywhere?
Does anyone have any juice items?
@frank crane you can go to the #furniture-trade to find particular items you’re looking for
@karmic sandal here’s my map if this helps
i am once again asking for graveyard inspo
im stumped!!!!
@zealous mortar you can use some western stone and the iron stone fence and maybe some black roses
@zealous mortar just type “ in:#island-designs has:image graveyard “ into the search bar, you’ll find some inspo
What arch would look best here? On the right is my orchard and then straight leads to my beach!
Map progress ☺️
@frigid canopy love how symmetrical it is! Good work!
My entrance is a work in progress 🤔
oo cliffs, i might remodel my entrance just to have the cliffs
Where should I remove my cafe to which area guys?
@brisk rampart haha! I saw this on Pinterest and had to take the idea but I don’t know if I done it justice I’m making it my own abit more
yeah my entrance has a lot of trees
For the part that Leeds to my beach should I have the stone arch mossy or just leave it stone?
Added a few more things to my library. Should i add anything else?
Anyone have any suggestions on a path to replace the grey wood for my bakery? It's not meshing with the rest of the shopping center at all
Anyone have ideas for my villagers yards
I finished dobie’s house today!
Library/cafe area! Still feels a little too simple, or maybe I'm overthinking it?
@cedar acorn here are two of my villagers front gardens if that helps
My airport is extremely close to resident services and I kind of want to change it up, does anyone have any ideas for me ):
i dont think u can move the airport
I know I meant entrance ideas
ohhh, i havent unlocked where u can edit the island yet but maybe like a flower path
Okay
i can’t have any ideas
what do you guys think about my little hoppy area for my northern beach?? pls give me ideas
@true perch try removing a couple of those trees to open things up a little more. The maybe instead of a fountain you can try those cute lion dog statues? From there you'll have more space for some other decor
@woven drift okay thank you, and I don’t have a DIY for the lion statues
@true perch if you need a couple, I'd be happy to spare some!
@woven drift okay! I’m also looking for some inspiration for the rest of my island as well
@true perch I've got a lot of inspo pics to share. What theme are you going for/not going for?
Looking for some pics of maybe a post office! I share a switch and wanna put all the mail boxes in one area
I’m going for more of a woodland theme, lots of trees statues stones and flowers (:
anyone have museum area ideas?
@true perch ill dm you some inspo with that theme
@woven drift thank you so much!
Does anyone have any ideas for Whitney’s yard? I just don’t know what furniture to place outside 🙂
@steep wind the white rattan furniture looks great with Whitney's house
@woven drift that would go in #happy-home-designs!
@woven drift that sounds like a good idea! I did Erik and Beau’s yards because they’re just all wood-y, but I’m having trouble with the rest lmao
(WIP) Phoebe's volcano
Really need some map inspiration! I destroyed my perfect 5 star island (like an idiot) and now I’m stuck ☹️😭
of course phoebe has a volcano lmao
@unborn gale dm me the theme/vibe you're trying to go for and I'll be happy to send some inspo. I've got folders full of them lol
anyone made decoration outdoor with mermaid furniture?
looking good @woven drift
@steep wind maybe a tea table set up with white instruments, gives off an elegant vibe
@hollow vortex LOL what item is that?
I have no clue what to put here
@zealous valve okay first of all, I had to read your name twice to get it right lmao. And second of all I never thought of that! I love it, it would make a lot of sense
ooo nice
@digital pendant some seating, maybe a campfire
@floral nimbus Ice pillar and ice chair customized orange
Does anyone have images of using tiki torches to lead up to a tiki bar that's facing sideways? i'm having trouble visualizing it; my tiki bar is on the beach so the torches would kind of have to be along the beach
@steep wind my diana has a setup similar to what i described, i’ll get a pic for you!
😩 no one made any decorations with mermaid furnitures? trying to get some inspo.
@zealous valve oh thank you so much!
I’m looking for yard inspo for all of these villagers! I have a natural island but can make some exceptions! C:
theme goldies a pastel yellow kinda thing?
i dont really know what they have for editing as i havent unlocked that yet
Good idea! I’m planning of putting her near my orchard and I have loads of pastel colours there so that would be good! :)
Great idea! It would look amazing once it’s winter for me!!
for melba i would make hers chrtistmasy
anyone have a picture of a museum wiht the stone arch in front of it?? i made one and it doesn’t look right, i need to see other people ones ? thank you 💗
Maybe I will wait for some of Roland furniture and give him like a small workout area for now or something
@carmine depot I have cherry, and she constantly talks about her whirlpool bath and reading in it, so I’m going to add that cool stone pond/pool thing with a tiny library or something like that so she can do the same but whilst watching the sunset ☺️
Love the idea!!
@steep wind yes! I’ll definitely give her one!
Cherry on my island will have more of a spooky setting though as I plan on putting her near my spooky forest aha
I need motivation help help help
can someone show me their pool area ?
@woven drift I’ve been looking on how to do this, is there a DIY you need to decorate cliffs?
Finished another Secret path ^^
@woven drift I’ve been looking on how to do this, is there a DIY you need to decorate cliffs?
@true perch Nope! i took simple panels and customized then with a pattern and but them against the cliff. then for the blue parts at the bottom, i put box sofas around in a square
Hi! I’m looking for a cottagecore/nature island to come explore! Need inspiration for my island☺️
Can someone tell me what kind of cliff I should part of my entrance? This is A
today's progress on my entrance 🙂 ft. Sherb running around like an airplane

This is a timelapse of me building a forced perspective of a cruise ship! It's a forced perspective so you have to use your imagination. This idea came from Hope_Jetaime on Twitter. I hope you enjoy the speedbuild! Also check out my port timelapse where I docked my ship!

does anyone have an island i can visit to get inspo? looking for cottage core theme and tropical themes
@atomic quest hey do you have the path code for that? 🙂
@hollow vortex nice, here’s mine! I might try and mix some of those columns in.
How can I make my campsite better?
How can I make my campsite better?
@pseudo wigeon Trees! Trees! Trees! trees make everything better
@pseudo wigeon Trees! Trees! Trees! trees make everything better
@woven drift and paths 🙂 I'd look at wooden planks, stone pieces, and leaves/clovers for extra texture!
anyone design anything with mermaid furniture outdoor?
Added a wee bit of a remembrance thingamajig for villagers who went away
@true perch the original: MA-6647-9230-4716
the one i'm using: MA-7977-2928-1247
@pseudo wigeon yes add trees and maybe plant a few weeds or different kinds of flowers and add rocks and fencing 🙂
@pseudo wigeon in addition to the stuff the others mentioned, some detailing wouldn't hurt C:
Just place down some more stuff and you'll be good to go ^^
@atomic quest thank you!!
So I'm really in love with Winnie the Pooh and I saw this on Reddit so I HAD to do it.
Okay thanks guys!!!

@grave lagoon did you end up needing to pluck some to get these to grow?
@woven drift that looks good! especially with the simple panels custom pattern behind! thanks!

does anyone know what this stool is called? i tried searching “stool” and “wooden” but can’t find it
@strong crystal wooden stool
ohh its weird i can’t find it on nookazon
It’s customized, the default is a light brown
@strong crystal my friend said the same problem, but it is wooden stool
This is bird baths all over again
oh nvm im blind
Sry for repost but I love old boy’s new house https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1283145646300528640?s=21
bamboo garden jn a cottage core isle
Talk to you guys tomorrow 😊
some random shots i took ^.^
@proper grove Nice! I tried custom patterns too but it always made me sad to see it at night because it doesn't light up.
This is flurry and chevre s place. How can I improve? It seems too plain....
Sooo i wanna restart my island And I wanna find someone that could look after my items and villagers—
@hollow vortex yeah I’ve added lots of fire since that photo for that same reason! I wish there was something the same height as the cliffs, my biggest annoyance is nothing matches to look like it’s actually pouring over
i consider them the caretakers of the island when im not on 🤩
@frozen plume Maybe try adding some trees, furniture, or fencing?
@frozen plume add a bush or two!
@proper grove I agree! One item that's good but still doesn't light up is the kimono stand. The way it drapes makes it look good and it's almost the height of the cliff. It can be customized with a lava pattern.
@frozen plume hedges might look good
What kind of furniture should I put? The area is actually very small to divide them apart....
@frozen plume if the area is too small for furniture, like others said bushes and hedges look really good with the stone pathing. And they also help separate the areas a little more
Does anyone have a post office area in their island? I'm looking to put all the mail boxes in one area( I share a island) and have a cute like PO boxe area ya know
@errant monolith i made one today! but it's a bit small, 5x4
Whos house would look better with a blue berry farm, pippy or filbert?
Anyone have some ideas for a cottagecore/gothic area for my house? I can move some things too. Nothing is set in stone
Team pippy!
its a she but yeah thinking that too lol
@cloud thorn not a vase but in the end result place some throwback skull radios and make stone ground
i don’t know what to do past this 😣
@cloud thorn my island definitely isn’t cottagecore at all but I have a spooky house and our exteriors are almost the same 🧙🏻♀️ (four pics, click if using mobile) https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1280632699951001601?s=21
@cyan cedar bluebear lives in my blueberry farm lol
@woven drift maybe plan out how you want your villager houses, or where you want your shops
m
@atomic quest sorry I’m late but they look stunning. Thank you so much!
Anyone have some ideas for a cottagecore/gothic area for my house? I can move some things too. Nothing is set in stone
@cloud thorn a graveyard or a haunted maze would be really cool!!
Can someone send In a picture of their map where there villager houses aren’t organised but spread out randomly? :)
I want my villagers to live in areas that correspond with them. For example, cherry will be living in my haunted forest
does anyone have the moon grid to make it as a lake? i have the 12x12 already
@carmine depot
@carmine depot I do that. It’s fun. Though most of these villagers have since been replaced.
@carmine depot this is and old pic of my map!
Thank you guys! I have a 3 tier neighbourhood and it’s cute but doesn’t fit with what I’m going with!
Also I want my villagers to actually explore my island when it’s done and not the same areas haha. They like the neighbourhood and plaza!
anyone with a moon shape lake? im having a tough time getting it to look rigjt
Here’s my map
not all of my villager areas are finished but they are all themed to the villager
i have so many empty spots in my island, what should i put there? 😢
anyone have ideas for how they designed dinosaurs outside their museum ?
yeah i was using that. it just doesnt look right to me with how high up the opening is
@carmine depot my villagers are often hanging around their house or the plaza still. Very rarely do I see one somewhere other than those spawns.
@undone crystal there’s a ton of build ideas in the pins!
@carmine depot i mean its still a wip but yeah lol
@woven drift yes pleaseee thank you
In the middle of terraforming a cove-y/secluded area for Redd when Lolly decided to be cute and sit right at the spot where I was thinking of putting a barrel there 🥺
@woven drift i like that one alot more! thank you
@plain forge that behaviour had to be intentionally corded into the game. It happens a so often!
@left zealot here's the grid!
@plain forge they already saw the grid, they just wanted the shape to be a little different than that one
thank you for the help 💕
Np @left zealot
Ohhh, sorry didn't see @manic sigil
@versed wadi nonetheless it's too cute to get mad at 🥺
Made a mini apple orchard to connect to my lavender farm, not 100% completed but I like it so far 🙏🏻☺️ also bonus cute marshal
@cyan cedar whoaaaaaa snap, lots of respect
Hi! I'm running out of ideas now. Anybody can suggest what I can do with the 2 areas? This is my moon garden in front of able sisters. 🙂
@burnt panther i think bird baths or shell fountains would look cute there with like a rock path or something its kinda hard to explain how im imaging it lol
Dont mind the floors and the waterfall MAY also go... but im looking for ideas to go on each level. I see a lot of people putting hedges, but im not sure i like that. Help please 🥺
Flowers trees and bushes work well. 🙂
flowers, tall garden rock, stone tablet, house plants, lanterns/lamps @stray axle
@stray axle i think this might give you a good idea for it! without hedges :)
Dont mind the floors and the waterfall MAY also go... but im looking for ideas to go on each level. I see a lot of people putting hedges, but im not sure i like that. Help please 🥺
@stray axle Going off a cottagecore theme, I would use: Hedges, bushes, flowers, country fencing, trees, Nova stars, crescent moons, log stakes, straw fence, stone wall, tall stone DIY
My entrance, you can see the types of items I mentioned shown here. Some others too
I wish i could fit trees but its just 2 blocks wide at the top and 3 on the second level. But these examples have definitely helped! Ty
im a bit stuck on what to do here, any ideas?

Impossible ive searched the whole island

@crystal latch there’s a list of ideas in the pinned section!
@thorny forge it’s just my peninsula, every island has one
OH
can anyone send me pictures of their band areas? im looking for some inspiration
does anyone have muffy or bonbon? stuck om their front yards
@thorny forge it’s just my peninsula, every island has one

anyone have any tips on making my island cottagecore? also mothra your island looks great, at least from the map
anyone have any ideas on what else to add to this?
@lime vortex I loooove Rudy! He was one of my starters in new leaf so I was really excited to get him in this game. And his house matches kiki’s so I have them set up together 🥰 https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1279868636656631808?s=21
Rudy and Kiki's beachside forest. #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/YLLtnTMPNy
@crude gorge I put instruments in front of my RS, so not a band per say BUT hopefully it’ll help!
How is my little DIY trading area? Not much to it, I just needed a place to trade.
@tacit sun I love adding little seating areas! I could see one fitting in nicely in the barrel's area :)
@scenic blaze omg too cute 😭
@lime vortex i have a mush stool under a tree already!!
so i caved in and replaced my paths with the infamous “Path” and i’ve never been so in love with a pattern!
Does anyone have fishing spots or ponds they're proud of?
Does anyone have fishing spots or ponds they're proud of?
@floral nimbus lemme get a screenshot
thank you!
@gritty smelt i did the same its so much better 😍😍💕
me too!! I love those paths! 🌱
@floral nimbus i don’t have an official fishing area but in front of Zucker’s house I have a lawn chair and fishing equipment and fish tanks behind the stalls!
not really done with it but here's what I've been working on today in way of a fishing spot @floral nimbus
I really don't know what to put in my entrance 😔 since I'm doing semi-urban i was thinking like an airport but idk it seems bland. Planning to put up some simple panels as sign- please send help 😭
I'll post my pond spot in a minute
It’s a wip beachside fishing area, but it might help too
I have a really large open area behind my shops. Idk what to add. Any ideas?
I really don't know what to put in my entrance 😔 since I'm doing semi-urban i was thinking like an airport but idk it seems bland. Planning to put up some simple panels as sign- please send help 😭
@raven pecan that looks ok to me! the snapping turtle seems out of place, and you might do a bit better with the rope fencing instead of the wedding fencing, but other than that it looks good 👍
Marshal says this pond is fishing approved 😋😂
@limpid aspen you have the creator code for those stone circles .-.
oo that looks good
@floral nimbus It's small pond, but I needed somewhere to get pond fish. Looking now, it's too square-ish, but it's more the decorations I wanted to show
@edgy finch there’s a list of ideas in the pinned you could possibly add! Personally I had a sewing area in front of my Ables!
anyway here's another part I've been working on today. I don't have any mushroom stuff yet but I'm planning on adding that stuff
@tiny moss decos are super nice!
@vernal oxide ok, thank you!
@tiny moss decos are super nice!
@floral nimbus ty!
@hollow radish Thank you! I'll change up the fencing once I get the diy then haha
you get it from the terminal in resident services I believe! I'd check from time to time seeing as the available fence recipes change
Each day the fence DIYs in the terminal cycle
@raven pecan Maybe add some houseplants to break up the dark asphalt color? Maybe even try a wood/stone flooring or something for that alcove.
anyone doing island tours rn
that's so cute! I have yet to get that couch furniture on the left
any ideas on how to make my entrance look more interesting?
Flowers!
Hi I know this is a lot to ask for but if anyone has ideas for these villagers patios i would greatly appreciate your help
What should I put up here? It is right up from my entrance.
Flowers!
@limpid aspen any idea what kind would look good?
Creeper?
@limpid aspen any idea what kind would look good?
@mystic hearth orange ones
Creeper?
@ember bough aww man
What should I put up here? It is right up from my entrance.
@wispy tiger That's a really large area, you can try and do something like a mountain there? Also you have Redd today 👀
@mystic hearth hyacinths are my personal favourite to use, especially white ones. Though I reckon red roses would look nice to match the pagoda’s colours
@vernal oxide I guess my only issue with that list is that I've already created a lot of that stuff. Some areas don't seem like they'd fit in kind of a commons area like that. I crossed off the things I've already made. Any other ideas 😕🤷♀️
Build tortimers graveyard
hii, anyone have ideas on what else can i put on the empty spaces on the rock part?
Does anyone have a map set up like this w residents around the same area? I wanna redo my entrance bc it’s pretty boring if so lmk plz! I need inspo 😅
@tiny moss ooo good idea!! And finally Redd is here it’s been too long 😂
is there like a volleyball net furniture I can get? I have a volleyball and I think a sand volleyball thing outside Audie's house could look good
Behind my shops, I'm working on an Able's sewing spot to the left and a public vending machine/sitting spot to the right. What should go in the middle? Any ideas?
@hollow radish i don’t think so but you can find a custom design for those lines in the sand
@mystic hearth this was my old Japanese themed entrance, I personally don’t like it anymore but it might give you some ideas ❤️
I so regret destroying my rivers 😭😭😭. Hopefully I can remake them and make them look natural
I so regret destroying my rivers 😭😭😭. Hopefully I can remake them and make them look natural
@wispy tiger honestly same, but I'm going full cottagecore so natural is kinda being yeeted
@gray hare Thanks I'll try that out! ^^
I really wanna make an outpost area for Sterling where he patrols the market nearby.
But since the vintage telescope isn't in the game, does anyone know how to make a sorta outpost looking area? or have made one so that I can take inspo?
im going to have to remove all of my paths on top of my map and i don't think ima have enough space or any more creativity to place things
@hollow radish yeah I’m also trying to go cottagecore but mine might be a bit more on the natural side
Cottagecore is very nature inspired! Fairycore is more fantasy
Anyone got any inspo for a cottagecore/natural area on the little grassy pier area on the beach
@rare hull I don’t personally, but I’ve seen others make a little picnic or tea area!
i just realized ima have to move my whole orchard and im mad about that
oof, good luck
@icy flint I feel you I recently had to move mine and it was a pain 😭😭
@limpid aspen oh thank you those sound so cute!
i have 10 of each fruit not including coconuts but i think ima just destroy 5 of each so ill have more room for other things - haven't touched it since i first made it lmao
@icy flint I moved my orchard yesterday ugh the pain
finished some villager yards! im really happy w how they turned out
@scenic moat which villagers are those?
dom, marina, hornsby (?), merengue
that's not hornsby
Anyone got inspiration for a small painting area?
wait that's a jock house
Anyone got inspiration for a small painting area?
@rare hull I'd use the various desk painting items, and maybe a white canvas custom design?
Anyone have any suggestions on a more interesting entrance, I unfortunately don't have much room to work with.(ignore the cherries I'm making a rock garden lol)
@hollow radish thank you!
@wet barn You could use trees to create the illusion of a forest and give it some "fake" distance?
this is hornsby's
Ohh that's a great idea!
yeah tbh i think today ima only move my orchard and take out the pathways lmao since that'll take me forever
@wet barn this is a really nice video on entrances with small distance! https://youtu.be/XjWdRkd9HFI
Hi :) here’s part two of my entrance video.
This video goes more into detail for people who are struggling with smaller entrances.
Also includes tips for anyone regardless of the size entrance.
I hope this helps!

Part One:
Fairycore & Cottagecore Entra...
Oh cool thanks!
here's my entrance my town hall is 7 blocks away
@hollow radish thank you for telling me! Telling villager houses apart is difficult 😅
@icy flint that looks great! I never thought of making it a bit of an illusion!
@edgy finch its dom, merengue, marina, and roald!
here's a bad view of my lazy villager's housing area, gonna go through some edits later ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
@scenic moat ty! Those areas look super cute!

@cloud thorn white cosmos might look nice
@cloud thorn maybe white and yellows!
the first hobo campsite is completed ✨
before and after!
What should I do with this area? It’s super big and flat
Is anyone’s island available for me to come check out and get some ideas for a fairy forest or just more themes lol
@woven drift
Hey does anyone else have a really short entrance? I’m happy with mine now but just wondering what other people have done with theirs 😊
@woven drift
@twilit lintel thank you so much
Idk if I'm feeling this wood or if I should try different plants? Thoughts?
@raven pecan id try a much lighter or much darker wood for the floor : )
reworked this area a bit!
@scarlet sonnet would black wood be overkill? 😆
No bc it would go with the vending machine and the road and clash less with the blue @raven pecan
@woven drift this is what my campsite used to look like! I tore down my island and I’m redoing it lol
@woven drift this is what my campsite used to look like! I tore down my island and I’m redoing it lol
@vernal oxide thank you so much!
@raven pecan what about like fan palms in a white bottom?
@raven pecan like these next to me!
@vernal oxide your character is so cute 🥺
i’m working on my island and from the way it looks it going to be a half nature half urban island does anyone know if this would work out well and has anyone tried and can show me
@scarlet sonnet ok thank you so much I was gonna go black but didn't know if it'd be too much- even if I love black/black lmao
@vernal oxide And thank you! I'll see if I have them ^^
@scarlet sonnet thank you!! Ever since I put that outfit together I really don’t take it off 😂
@raven pecan Yh id put it for now anyway, you’ll find out soon enough if you feel it doesn’t fit 😊
I’m about to pay my last debt! I’m so excited to finally focus on my island!
I have a bunch of cliffs or high points that look really bland and I'm not really sure how to decorate the top of em what should I do ps I'm sick of water falls lol
I feel like if you want a lot of black you should go all out! Black everywhere!
Already sended them in here a few times but I just love how it turned out 🍄👉👈
@fringe aurora for what theme?
I dont think I have like a set theme but I'm trying to make most of my island bright and colorful
@fringe aurora you can kinda mix it up. I really suck at decorating them too but this is what I have currently! Sorry it kinda sucks lol
I’d use bushes, flowers, some custom designs and some small outdoorsy items. Like buckets or animal models or street lamps/ garden lanterns @fringe aurora
Ty guys!
my entrance isn’t extravagant at all 😂
@low frost what's that item on the right side of your bench? :3
I believe it's called a gas pump :)
Thoughts? Not sure which I prefer
Use The p a t h
@woven drift i like the rock path better 🙂
Anyone have a long stretch of horizontal walkway? I’m struggling with these 3 houses this am wondering if I should just cave and get “the path”
@woven drift I like the rock path. It makes the area bit brighter
Uuu what you guys think? (':
@ionic raft you could terraform cliffs around it and add in seating areas, would make it feel less long 😊
@raven pecan oooooh bottom for me I think but it’s up to you 😊
Anyone have any island entrances where the airport entrance lines up with the center of resident services?
@raven pecan i love the build, maybe add some fencing
@gilded widget Its one block off to exactly centre, but heres my entrance
some new areas i finished last week!
@dusty forge I kept demolishing the area to add different flooring and got too lazy to put it back up (':
@scarlet sonnet and yea I was thinking that one too! Just wanted another opinion uwu
Can someone show me some areas like cafes, library, cinemas, stuff like that? I’m having trouble thinking of little areas for around my island
@ionic raft you could terraform cliffs around it and add in seating areas, would make it feel less long 😊
@scarlet sonnet thanks! do you mean around the buildings or around the path to make people go around it? also lmk if it's cool if i message you. this project (the villager houses in general) has been the bane of my existence this month 😂
i have a really big empty space on my island, any ideas on what i should put there? to the right of it is my rainbow garden and i already have a cafe and library on my island.
@molten dirge here are pictures of Marshal’s Cafe and my library!!
Hii does any1 have an idea of what I can put here? it needs to take up a lot of area, and the second pic is the path way leading to the first pic
@balmy sail there’s a big list of ideas in the pinned section! @woven drift big list in the pinned section!
@ionic raft Yh 100% dm me whenever and I get your pain I’ve moved my houses about 5 times. And yeah I’d loosely terraform around the path. Almost lining it 😊
@vernal oxide ty!!
can i pay anyone to design my island?
Does anyone have a 5 start island I can visit for inspo?
@molten dirge I have lots of shops that can be turned into smaller areas.
Hello everyone! Urgent need of ideas, my friend asked me to host her wedding because the real wedding was canceled so i have one day to terraform and decorate till the wedding.

@woven drift I created a house for a wedding and the back yard is the wedding dinner reception
@twilit lintel beautiful! thank you so much
Hi! Could someone give me some ideas? I don’t really know what to put here and it’s been bugging me for awhile. It’s a 6 x 15 space.
My (old) ables, honey stall, and picnic area
@woven drift yes you can but i recommend nookazon where theres more people to help
@gleaming kelp what can i look up on nookazon to find those people?
Can I see someones ables/nooks area? I need inspo

@woven drift at the top if you scroll to the right, there will be a 'services' option and from there you will find the map designers!

@woven drift one of the big fossil dinosaurs or a bus stop!
Hi! So I’m trying to recreate this red building from spirited away, what do you guys think? If anybody have any recommendations that would be great! 💖
that is so cute
@slate lichen (did not make this, just sharing) some common layouts, hopefully this helps with the villagers houses!! ♡
Does anyone know someone who is in this server and has this entrance to secret beach? <@&709985689692799098>
Lmao u can't @ everybody
@slate lichen (did not make this, just sharing) some common layouts, hopefully this helps with the villagers houses!! ♡
@dusky tapir yay thank u sm!
@subtle blade heyyy it's looking much better!
Map ideas??? Please help 🥺
@twin copper
@subtle blade heyyy it's looking much better!
@woven drift ty sm for your recommendations 💖
does anyone have an area on their island that uses a lot of the zodiac/star furniture? i wanted to make a celeste area but im stumped
@twilit lintel did you actually design your island like that or is that just a design you made? if you actually made that you’re SUPER talented
I think this goes on here but if not I’ll delete it but does this look good?
Can I have some decorations? Any chance I can come to an island
@bleak sparrow I designed my island like that. I made each area one by one.
Can I have nice decorations trying to get kk slider to come hold a concert.
@twilit lintel one word. WOW
@bleak sparrow thank you 😅
@woven drift you can craft items or try using #furniture-trade
@woven drift honestly if I were you I’d make a furniture dump 😂 that’s what I did to get kk. You don’t have to keep it after he’s come : )
im scared that the person on nookzon doesnt know what they're doing
i’m trying to redesign my rivers but i’m stumped, can anyone show me how they set up their rivers or ponds?
Ables <3
How do you get an island designer my housers are all odd and I want the straight and similar
Nooks <3
does anyone have a little neighborhood for their villagers??
if so, i would love to see it
I’m about to start making a maze with art pieces and Celeste items in it. Any tips on how to start/plan?
Does anyone have a beach themed nooks area for inspo?
Has anyone seen good forests on an island? I'm having trouble finding good inspiration photos or anyone that has a little forest who i can visit.
😆
My bestfriend just finished making my freah honey sign so now my honey stand is complete and im in loveee <3
@unborn holly I didn’t. I actually did spread my villagers out instead but this should help!
@vernal oxide you're an angel thank you! I want to be sure of what i want before i pay Tom my life savings on trying to move everyone
@dire wren I unfortunately haven’t, but there are plenty that have here. This isn’t my picture but maybe it will help!
this is my map as of today.. you can tell exactly where i’ve remodeled and where i haven’t
@unborn holly really felt that. And still paid so much to him 😭
@vernal oxide he only brings me pain

Thank you @denim2_mori for this beautiful custom design path! #thepath #cottagecore #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/yRhKZPRLXC

@agile girder youre doing amazing sweetie!
@unborn holly the absolute worse. I think one of the downfalls to making a neighborhood is that there’s not a lot of room for yard unless you really spread the houses out in the neighborhood
@vernal oxide hmmm yeah i didn't think about that much. i just think for me personally it would stress me out to have them all over
@fiery quail @versed wadi has a GORGEOUS island. In his entrance it uses a lot of trees and bike set up is absolutely genius! That may help you with a forest theme!! https://youtu.be/Du0Gv3clk-A

@unborn holly understandable. I would definitely recommend going around where you would want the houses and use the dirt path to make a 4x4 square to show you how much space the houses take up and see how much space you can work with for decorating wise
Can any one show me there map I need inspiration
@brazen holly my map!!
@weary vale AWESOME!!
@vernal oxide yeah thats probably smart. I'm just tryna let them live the lavish life
@unborn holly my villagers live more lavishly than I do 😩
@vernal oxide oh with my whole chest I can completely agree. they dont even know how good they have it
@unborn holly they don’t even understand the sacrifices made for them to live like kings and queens
@vernal oxide the blood, sweat, and TEARS that I've shed
@vernal oxide I’m so honored that you mentioned me 😊
@twilit lintel your island is so gorgeous it needs to be shown off 😍
@vernal oxide your island needs to be shown off too!!
@brazen holly late to the party. but here’s a photo of my ~unfinished~ map if you still needed inspo
@twilit lintel ty love!! You’ve been missed in the chat 🥺 I haven’t been seeing you around
@marsh harness love all the little islands in your water
Wooooahahahhh that’s awesome!!😳@marsh harness
@weary vale tysm! your streams and paths are so nice and natural looking 🥺
😩 Morgan and meow got me wanting more water on my map
how do you guys just like..... know how to design your island
i literally don’t know what i’m doing with my island so i’m the worst person to ask ahha. i just terraform as i go
hi
hello
greetings
I'm just gonna not look at that map and remind myself that I'm happy with my map
i randomly just came here to say that i feel so discouraged and burnt out with my island lmao
does anyone have some tropical island inspo?
I have like 80 projects rn but all I wanna do is add water now
@scenic blaze wtffffffff
that looks so good!!
@scenic blaze can I see a picture of your little maps on the right side? I'm doing something similar but it looks odd
i really want to incorporate a river into my island i just don’t know where could someone send me a pic of theirs for inspo? ignore the house on the left i messed them up 🙁
yay i'm going to redo my neighborhood again! i'm going for a rustic/forest theme with a ton of brown, trees and terraforming, but I thought I wanted a scattered neifhborhood, buuuuut it's not really working out so I think I want to divide it into 2-3 lil' clusters. does anyone have any maps with this sort of thing going on?
@north schooner if you mean the little ponds they’re totally blank and undecorated right now
I don’t have pics of that area
oh no I meant these things
also could someone send a pic of their map with like no specific theme in mind just like a basic island
Ohh gimme a sec
@primal maple if you search "in:island-layouts has:image map" you can see tons of maps from a variety of islands (:
@primal maple this is a mess still. I’m changing the top part still currently. But my island has absolutely no theme 😂
@scenic blaze do you have any screenshots of this particular area? i love how you made your rivermouth extend into a huge river valley 
basic map that makes no sense? YOU GOT IT
you know what it looks pretty good tbh. i'm proud of my little right corner.
minus that big block where my turnips live
THANK U ALL 😁😁😁😁
@twilit lintel ty love!! You’ve been missed in the chat 🥺 I haven’t been seeing you around
@vernal oxide yeah I’ve been in and out quite a bit. I had family in town. But I’m trying to get back in more!
anyone got an arcade that uses tv?
@north schooner this isn’t the exact same area (the spot you screenshotted is part of my undecorated area) but this is what most of my paths look like in my finished spots. It’s mostly standard paths mixed with weeds and custom leaves
oh I loooooove it - please let me know if you ever allow tours because I'd love to see more! thank you for sharing that pic too!
@marsh harness this spot is huge and tough to take pictures of but I have an older tweet that shows it pretty well! Three pics: https://twitter.com/sedumisland/status/1258075185200001025?s=21
@north schooner thank you!! Hopefully someday I finish my island lmao and let more people tour
@primal maple
any ideas for decorating these cliffs besides flowers?
@coarse goblet the cliffs in the background? assuming you're going for a more natural look, I'd suggest some shrubs and the DIY rocks (: maybe some mushroom items or log stool as well
@coarse goblet a log bench or garden bench looking at the view would be cute too!
Speaking of paths I’ve been experimenting a lot more with custom paths overlaid on in-game paths and I’ve been really enjoying the results, especially on the paths that let me plant weeds as well
oh wait you said cliffs lol ignore me
omg same! i abandoned “the path” because i was starting to rly like the look of custom designs on top of the dirt path
I WANT to love “the path” but the fact that you can’t plant stuff OR hear the tippytaps...
the tippy taps are necessary
all of y'alls island designs are so pretty!!!
i liked it! the problem for me was having to decorate around it. it took up so much surface area on my island and i couldn’t place down many items bc of it
the one block dirt path allows for a lot more space to work with
i just started doing stuff on my island doesn’t anyone have any tips to make it look better? if it’s even good at all lol
@stuck trail @weary vale Thanks for the ideas! I might add some palm trees if you can place them on the sand path
any of you guys know what i should put here? this area is like a garden but also like a little country farm thing
maybe trees?
@coarse goblet sounds cute! palm trees will grow in the sand path, as long as they're at least 1 tile away from the edge of the cliff (:
i’m making a dig site what kinda thing should i put for the diggers office
i was thinking that but i thought trees would cover up and it would look weird
@sly forum do you have a theme? Are you looking for something more natural?
@drifting hearth if you're worried trees would block the view too much, you could always try some shrubs (:
@drifting hearth maybe a little shed for gardening supplies? A wheelbarrow and a hose reel and some things like that would fit the area!
don’t have a theme yet
thamks guys! i’ll definitely try out what you said @scenic blaze
@sly forum terraforming makes a huge difference!
@sly forum are you looking for something more natural or modern?
@limpid trellis ok!
Hey! What flowers would look best/match with this house? Also any lazy villager yard ideas would be amazing inspo ♡
@twilit lintel i don’t really know yet i think both look great!
Roses
does anyone have an idea of what would look good in like a office for diggers by my dig site
orange hyacinths too 🙂 it's a similar kinda muted orange
@dusky tapir i think a good idea for his yard would be things that are like in his house or that relate to his “character” for example zucker is based off takoyaki from japan and i’m thinking of doing a little japanese yard for him
@tropic vapor you could place a shovel and some small fossils. a desk (den desk maybe), document stack and/or scattered papers, maybe a globe. even a bookshelf or stack of books could look nice
@dusky tapir ozzie’s a koala and koalas are from australia so i think some like beach kinda things would fit? not sure
Ooo Tysm good ideas!!
and that’s really smart @drifting hearth !
@sly forum if you want something more natural, you should make your roads less straight and try curving your roads
@twilit lintel ok!
Is it easier to terraform if u clear out all the cliffs and trees?
definitely, its best to flatten out the area just to give yourself more to work with
What do you guys think? I used zucker’s house as the abandoned house in the movie
@subtle blade thats awesome!
looks really good! i love the way you used the weeds 
@subtle blade thats awesome!
@scenic moat ty 💖
@subtle blade omggg i love it
Is it easier to terraform if u clear out all the cliffs and trees?
@tropic coyote it depends if you want something more natural. Then I would try to keep as much as possible
Building Ankha’s area. Can I get some opinions on which is better or if I should do something else?
@south widget I prefer it with the gold caskets (: fits Ankha's theme perfectly
@stuck trail thank you.
@dusky tapir orange wildflowers, black cosmos, or you can play it safe and go white
Any ideas on how to spruce up this little entrance area?
Hi I’m new to doing this so I’m not really sure on what to say. But I’ve made a plan But idk if it would look good so like Opinions Like what I should change and what I should keep 😁 and where I should but my stargazing place cause I have no idea 😁
I call this places El mercado and Celestial lounge hope you guys like it
@regal verge maybe actual bamboo trees then the ones you gives it some more dimension
I've been shifting stuff around to reduce the lag when running around 😭
I’m making a Japanese restaurant/ Teppanyaki like area near the ocean
doese anyone have any pictures of an area that uses a lot of zodiac/star furniture? i wanted to make a celeste themed area on my island but idk what to do lol
@median widget I just made this on my boardwalk
@limber ginkgo how has that been working for you? do you have any kind of method you're using as far as knowing which items to move to reduce the lag?
Looks awesome :3
@limber ginkgo how has that been working for you? do you have any kind of method you're using as far as knowing which items to move to reduce the lag?
@stuck trail I haven't done too much because I've been busy with other games, but there was a slight difference when I cleaned up the overgrown flowers south of the area that actually slows down.
@limber ginkgo thanks. I need to improve my lag as well but have been struggling to understand what's causing it / the least I can change to fix it 😂
I'll let you know if I find out anything!
Any idea where I should put my stargazing area?
@uneven current north beach
alright Thankyou! 🙂
guys i have no idea how to make my shopping area look good:/
@icy sparrow My advice would be maybe using stalls?
