I don’t have a structured neighborhood. My “neighborhood “ is randomly spread out on the west side of my first level and I just put fun stuff on the outside of their homes

@amber moon yeah I wanted to do that but my island layout is weird so I thought maybe something like this
That’s super cute tho!!!!
Yeah I wanted to do that 🥺 problem is it allows only 6 houses and I wanted to one on the east and one on the west side but I cant since on one side I already have a cafee 🥺
I love the multi levels! Here’s what’s my island looks like from the map

@amber moon i love the water thing on the top looks like a little ghost 🥺
Example of the middle of my “neighborhood”
Aww ty! The best part was I didn’t even try to do that!!! It’s a waterfall with two peaks that have orange roses on them and it made a face!! The “mouth” is a small platform with a meteor on it! 😂

@amber moon omg thats cool and I REALLY LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR HOOD 🥺🥺🥺🥺 looks fairy like. I wanted one with structur but it sucks bc one house will block the other house yk? So I have to do with different layers 🥺
Here’s a small pic of my residential area 🥺🥺💙💙 I’m gonna miss the blue hydrangeas
Yeah! I had a “city” like island for a while, but then I realized what codes were and how to use them so I was like, “umm I’m a fairy fan so I will def create this!!” Lolol
My island map its ugly And OMG I AM JEALOUS OF YOU

@amber moon please 🥺🥺
Okay one sec, I’ll dm you!!
Okay! 🦋🥺
Hmmm.... what do you think about my new Entrance? 😳😋
It’s cute I like it @woven drift
should i make big neighborhoods with unique yards or make a compact tier 3 neighborhood but i don't know if i will have that much room for other stuff so i am conflicted if i do the first option
Thanks 😊
A or B?
Suggestions for my shopping district?
https://twitter.com/ceoexsisting/status/1285518015694434304?s=21
i like this spot but there isn't enough space to close off the fences and i 😔
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do here? I already have a small park/pond and am working on a diner.
Is anyone able/interested in wanting to help me design my island layout??? Im new to the game and my island is bland right now and I’d love some help 💜
i'm really not sure what else to do to this entrance area
the airport is so close to the plaza but i spent so much time getting my ideal villagers i cant reset 😔

@narrow siren i also placed my town plaza to close 😦 you could do a small waterfall or just benches and streetlights
This page isn't typically for asking for help with an entire island, but you're welcome to ask for help with specific parts (so getting screenshots of your island, showing us and asking for advice) or general help with layout of an island @woven drift If you're looking for ideas on what to put in your island, then there's an list of buildings/ features in the pins of this channel that might kickstart some inspiration
Teddy bear picnic! 🧸💛✨
Does anyone know how I could possibly make my lil campsite better? I don't feel very happy with this

@misty relic maybe a fire pit and log benches ?
I could try to add more log stuff
@misty relic for a campsite it's very clean and not so wild and haphazard. Either try some weeds in select places, or if you don't want weeds maybe get a custom path that makes your paths a bit overgrown at the edges
Hmm okay I'll try adding a couple weeds here and there
My daughter and I toured an amazing island in the southern hemishpere and we have zero regrets! It's very pretty and a lot of hard work has gone into it! you should check it out!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFYKYrPG5P8&feature=youtu.be
Watch as Paris and Momma tour a snow filled island! Tons of hours were poured into this island and it shows!
Hi!! I need some help on some inspiring for my island, so can I come to anyone’s island and take a tour? Thx!
@noble cradle sure, I'm around right now if you want to tour? ^^
@night fjord yes pls!!! Send me ur dodo code! Tysm!!!
okay, two minutes. I can also put all my spare DIYs for you, I'll DM you now instead of clogging up this chat
Mad scientist beach so far. Any tips on what else to put on the beach?

@muted trellis microscope maybe?
I have one on the table behind the jail bars.
alright, sry i just c a n t s e e
Also have a lot of space on the beach under the jail bars that I dont know what to do with.
I don’t wanna photo dump but I need help choosing fencing and I can’t edit photos together on my phone
send a picture of the area with 1 piece of each fence you are debating on?
I didn’t realize that replacing the custom design in the app also replaced them on your island.
my custom pool just turned into path borders because I replaced them in the app 
Maybe the barbed wire fencing would look good there? or the log fence?
Tried something new with my entrance that’s super close to resident services 🙂
Nicer!
That looks better!
cute waterfalls @ionic raft
Thank you! I used this super helpful terraforming guide if anyone wants some advice 🙂 https://twitter.com/saltspringac/status/1275977670493261824
@ionic raft this needs to be added to the pins! Thanks for sharing!
This is my map and I plan on doing a whole re-do
if anyone has any ideas for me please dm me! Mainly looking for where to put things and what not (8M bell budget)
anyone have an island like this? if so send ur maps pls

I made a video of my Santorini-inspired area if anyone is interested ^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2GeoA2AE2A
Thanks for checking out my video! This is one part of my island, inspired by Aegean Islands like Mykonos and Santorini. More videos coming soon, so make sure you subscribe ;)

How my island is currently set out 🙂
@versed wadi ah thank you! I’ve been looking for a map with spread out villager houses
I tried to give each village their own little biome e.g. Pekoe vs Nate
This area by my entrance so far - just below my plaza. Any suggestions? Feels like it’s missing something...
I’m trying to utilize as many glitches and shady things in my island decor as possible
ended up making this since the other idea didn’t convince me at all. I know that the flowers in the back beach ruin it all but i don’t have any more places to leave them so they’ll stay there 💀
I’m trying to utilize as many glitches and shady things in my island decor as possible
@woven drift same
Yall have a fourth level? Wow, talk about messing with glitches
Is that fourth level
yeah the stonehenge and moon are on the 4th
that's the only part of my island that utilizes it 
@limber ginkgo how did you get the items at the top if you can't climb up there?
nice nice, I dunno what to put up there cause water doesn’t work
lmao ikr, I tried too
thaz so cutee
Also the incline thing was life changing when I learned about it
Incline thing?
You can have more than 8 inclines if you get a wrapped incline from someone with a modded switch nice enough to give you one
holy shit
4th level and tree edging only ones I really use, don't have any star trees or hacked items
half of my villager yards 😳
any suggestions on how to improve redd’s secret beach? (ignore the bare cliffs) and also if anyone can share their redds area that would be lovely !!
I need a good island layout. I suck.
oo wow that looks amazing! @coarse jewel
@misty relic thank u! i feel like its missing something, the middle kinda looks bare lol
Love the Stormy nights in animal crossing 
Here are some of my areas!
Do any of you guys have natural paths leading to beaches?
Does anyone know what I should do with this? I am using a island planner and my res. services is 17 tiles away and to the left, making it difficult for me to make a natural looking entrance

@short harness If you want it more natural make it a more windy path, you can lead either to your RS or away from it towards something else, using the cliffs and water to line the path?
@short harness whats that app your using
@jagged laurel https://bobacupcake.itch.io/island-planner
@muted trellis Hmm. Maybe. I am just not sure how to make it look good.
Is this better? Daytime is before, night is after

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EdfVEQVU8AAs8oD?format=jpg&name=large
@short harness this is how I did mine. I dont know exactly how far my RS is to the airport but it isnt that far.
Improved my horse shoe crab spawning beach, once again thank for the advice @deft glen . Also does anybody have any other ideas to improve it
what are your villager layouts??? i have a classic grid one but it takes up SO much space
made this garden today 🙂
It gets really tough to keep things exciting --being limited to 40 patterns means all my stuff starts to look the same...
Feeling like this area above my RS is a bit boring. Could I maybe get some suggestions?
@umbral hatch i feel ya usually what i try to do for each section is to give it a few slots for the pathway and one more slot for a custom design for maybe a stall or post sign, but recently i changed my pattern to a whole pathway island pattern hope this helps this was my strat
Is there a service that plans your island design?
is it worth kicking some of my villagers for all japanese houses to get pure aesthetic??
@woeful aurora i saw people use their dream villagers into a Japanese theme nicely and easily but ik some people like my friend who tried to get all Japanese houses and he said it was a huge pain
@woeful aurora imo if you're considering it, you're not that attached so you might as well
@cloud narwhal Some lights or lamps? Maybe hyacinth lamps?
Okay- For like- the 3rd time- does anyone have any ideas on what to do in this area. I have a diner and park-like area already
theme of your island?
@rocky tulip stargazing area?
PVP zone
that's a lot of space imo if you didn't start your nooks cranny or your able sisters you can move them and make it into a shopping district, or maybe a flower garden, or a forest with a campsite
theres a list of ideas in the pins
can anyone send pics of their campsite areas, I have 0 ideasss
I looked at the ideas, I didn't like many of them- this is my campsite-
@storm bear mine is mostly copied from a reference but here ya go
@uncut radish wear your expensive stuff ill come in with a royal crown try to kill me noob
@rocky tulip how about a rock garden?
Anyone selling island designs?
I could do that, yeah- I've been planning to for a while, but there'd probably be some space left over..-
nah there will never be space left over when in doubt place a tree, bench, flowers, or a bush
I just throw a random waterfall down and call it a day
any suggestions on what else to add here?? i’m gonna add more fencing.
@pulsar trail maybe bookshelves?? or bamboo items?
Hows does this look? I am still trying to figure out how to make the path from the entrance to my RS look good. Im considering throwing down some pine trees and small little designs on the path so its less bland, but I don't know how to make it look more natural. I am probably going to be using the path .
(made in this planner >> https://bobacupcake.itch.io/island-planner)
ooo i like the idea of bamboo items @storm bear
@short harness Perhaps experiment with assymmetry as making things too symmetrical can look to uncanny valley or not as pleasing especially with any natural looking
@short harness Perhaps experiment with assymmetry as making things too symmetrical can look to uncanny valley or not as pleasing especially with any natural looking
@soft plaza
Ah, okay! I might make it into the same sort of thing but with the waterfalls in different spots and such.
so i’m also looking for ways to vamp up my entrance a bit. any ideas or suggestions??
i made custom paths to match the DAL one i found!! (only one not by me is the one w the bird)
@rocky tulip you could do a zen garden
just realized i was terraforming for like 4 hours
I edited my all seasons market place opinions?
@pulsar trail what about some flower garden wagons on the sides (idk what they’re called rn lol it’s a diy though) and a bench on each side
@woven drift hey! I love ur honeybee area. How can I get honey in my beehive!! I'm a newbie 
Should I put more or maybe rearange things Idk I feel like it can look better but idk maybe Im trying too hard lol
It’s a custom design it’s not real honey
anyone have a simple map? (clean lines & such..) if so ple a s. eee send it my way!!!

@woven drift oh thx! It looks really great
with the terraforming ive done ive removed a lot of trees and its a perfect place to see the shooting stars
@vernal oxide i like that idea. that could be cute. i just got the diy for iron garden bench 🤣🤣
Royal castle. Any thoughts?
I love it
That's so cool!
oh man, when i look at this im really jealous because im 0% creative

Same
But it looks amazing! I have no idea what to do with my island!
I want to build a forest here, does anyone have any good ideas on how to make it look good?
I’m obsessed with sea pineapples so instead of a normal yard, I have a city of sea pineapples
Use mush items @abstract token
ok thanks for the tip
@abstract token lots of cedar trees, and lillies are very forest-y
Ok thanks
@abstract token but also add some fruit trees mixed in with the cedar
ok
Think about it like how plants differ in different climates. Can do a gradual increase from lots of low growing flowers, to bushes, to trees, and then cedar at your hearts center
Add butterfly models, especially the grand ones, atlas moth, Q.A ect
thank you everyone for the suggestions!
@river cypress It looks really good! but for the jail bars maybe you could add some simple panels to make it look like a building maybe?
What should I do with this
@river cypress It looks really good! but for the jail bars maybe you could add some simple panels to make it look like a building maybe?
@frosty raven it’s an all seasons market lol my theme is natural so I don’t think those would fit
i've seen those exact market designs everywhere
@grim cosmos uhhh This design is original lol
oh oops. Sorry I just see stuff like that mixed with rustic themes lol
i have this big but little space that’s at the edge , what should i put there ? i made a library and cafe that’s near the space already .
A little orchard maybe? Depends how it fits with your island.
im not sure if i like how my entrance is laid out, any suggestions🥺
Can people send me pics of there airport entrance im looking for ideas please i only have 1 idea with my shops and villagers house but not sure how to set it up hope i get to see your ideas:)
Finished my library area today!! Feels like I need to put more stuff on the ground but for now I’ll wait & see what I find 🥰
thats so cute omg u should put a lil rug down
Does anyone have any nice inspo for a fruit orchard? I’m looking to not do it in perfect rows, my island is a cluttered cottagecore theme and I need inspo!
@edgy obsidian cant put rugs outside,custom designs work tho
oh yea true sometimes i forget abt that
Yess a custom design! I’ll see if I find one I that goes good with the area!
This is my outdoor library
these are the residents in one of my neighborhoods
@woven drift that’s cool, very cool
@limber ginkgo wait, Ken’s house doesn’t look like that in my island?
@grim cosmos lmao u just see the same custom designs but k
@white heath his home exterior is glitched, it's greta's
Oh
whar would look nice here?
anyone have any unique entrance inspo? i've been looking through pinterest and reddit but a majority of what i found is the typical cottagecore-style entrance
Hi everyone! I want to try to make a section of my island paris themed... any ideas of what to lay down?
I have a huge garden, it's not meant to be Zen inspired but I did put traditional japanese items. (ignore the museum lol)
Still! I'm thinking of moving Dobie here. Not sure if I should though!
Royal castle. Any thoughts?
@bold mirage 😍
@drifting hearth some seating!! If you’re doing a library I did this with mine:
@drifting hearth some seating!! If you’re doing a library I did this with mine:
@vernal oxide i will soon but my question was what should i put in between the 2 bookshelves, i don’t think i can fit another, i was thinking of buying a genuine gallant statue but i’m not sure yet i want to hear what you guys think!
aw the custom design is so pretty
@lofty bridge yeah most people did cottagecore kind of themes. I didn’t do a theme so I did a little more grand entrance with waterfalls
u did not lie when u said grand wow
@drifting hearth ohhh I see. Haha sorry! You could maybe do a fireplace or a sofa. Some people place fireplaces in their library and place items like the globe and such on it!
i’ll see ty
Hello I’m looking for someone to help me with my island design, if anyone is willing to give me pointers.
@vernal oxide damnn that is majestic af
@digital river idk if someone helped you and sent inspo yet, but someone did grouping of fours! Something different than typical rows
I made a really simple layout for sherb’s house:)✨
(if you have any suggestions on improving it let me know^^)
@lofty bridge thank you love!!
im looking for some colourful island theme inspo (like rainbow flowers and colourful furniture)
@woven drift I did a rainbow flower garden split up in half by a cliff that has a walkway through it. It kinda sounds confusing lol but I wanted to do something different
@woven drift this is my rainbow garden, sorry for bad picture quality. ^-^'
Anybody got any inspo for fairycore? I really like putting different shaped cliffs but I don’t know what items to put on top
Pls I’m looking for fish market inspo
Whitney’s yard is done
@lethal spear if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: fish market” you can see pics of what others have done!
@rare hull there’s some good inspo pics with amazing cliff terraforming if you type in the top right search bar “in:island-layouts has: image: fairycore”
@vernal oxide I did already! I was hoping for some more inspo 😭 I haven’t really quite found what I’m looking for
Here’s a yard I made today
@lethal spear do you have an idea of what you’re looking for? Or just more pics in general? Most people displayed fish in tanks or even fish models on stalls and such
outdoor library i made
@lethal spear like this is from someone who actually is pretty known for her island. Something along these lines?
@vernal oxide I want to make a fish market that spans through my nooks to the beach, like anime style!
@lethal spear I absolutely love anime but I feel so slow having no idea what you mean by that 💀
@lethal spear I always find it a loooot easier to take inspiration from real life photos! So if you want a Japanese style/anime style fish market, I suggest using pics like this:
😅😅😅 @vernal oxide idk how to explain 😭 @plain forge thats really smart!!
Here is my mad scientist beach. Any tips for what I should do on the rest of the beach?
has anyone ever made a food truck/food stand sorta thing? kinda like this pic
@lethal spear LMAO I AM SLOW. It’s okay!! @plain forge the true queen helping me out 😭 thanks love!
Here is my mad scientist beach. Any tips for what I should do on the rest of the beach?
@muted trellis what kind of experiments is this lab doing? Maybe a lil unethical but you can put birdcages, mom plusies, fish tanks/sea creatures etc around it 😢 it might go along with your gothic theme!
also does anyone have a train station?
@steep socket my old forced perspective train station (that I got inspo from another pic haha)
@plain forge that's a good idea. It is a mad scientist.. so not entirely ethical. ^-^
@steep socket someone had posted this (this is the only food truck photo I could find) but it’s super cute!
Diagonal pathing / bridge
thanks guys! if y’all find any other ones lemme know
I have a fish market/cafe in front of nooks 🙂

@limber tundra
I'm thinking about making a zombie apocalypse theme for my island. What things should I use
@limber tundra (sorry for photo spam) but here are some villager homes I finished (for the most part lol)
I'm thinking about making a zombie apocalypse theme for my island. What things should I use
@keen steeple custom blood stains, skeletons, that one skull head fossil, barbed wire fencing, cluttered furniture, worn/broke stone/brick pathing, etc
I have no idea what to do with my island ;-;
Can you guys help me?
@keen steeple anatomical models. Skeletons.
@plain forge @muted trellis thank you both
Where should I put my orchard? Also how should I do my rivers?
@woven drift what about the bottom right of the map? I kinda put mine near RS and the beach since I also added a smoothie bar to my orchard
@woven drift what do you need help with? It's easier for us to help if you can give us an idea of what you want to do (like what kind of aesthetic/theme you are going for), what does your map look like and how far your RS is to the entrance :)
@grim cosmos thank you!!! It looks amazing!!!!
😊
@woven drift what do you need help with? It's easier for us to help if you can give us an idea of what you want to do (like what kind of aesthetic/theme you are going for), what does your map look like and how far your RS is to the entrance :)
@plain forge Like, um, can you come to my island and see what I could add?
Just minor progress
@woven drift I'm not on my switch atm but if you send photos of areas you want to change or add to, it'll be more helpful! I'm only one opinion out of many as well, the more input from different people the more rounded of an idea you may get :)
Um
Anyone have a statue garden do garden with statues I need Inspo 😭🥺
That may be kinda hard for me
Looking for villager homes inspiration!!!
@limber tundra
Ty everyone!
@inner lynx my statues are in the corner of each flower bed
Hi! I just got sprinkle and I’m not sure what to do with her yard! should I do teal blue themed furniture? or a little frozen treat shop because of her house interior? not sure what to do
@woven drift there's also many lists in the pinned section of this chat for island build ideas, for example:
@mystic ivy i gave sprinkles an ice cream parlor using the soft serve lamps and the aquarmarine diner set
ok tysm!! that helps a lot!
tiki bar or diy station no doubt
@woven drift this is alice tiki bar and restaurant on my island
@mystic ivy i dont know if you can see her picture. its the second picture on the left
The start of my entrance!
Why are you in the same exact pose in 3 different places
...
Can anyone show me the area around the residential service, like what you did around there ? ;-;
Thinking of extending the top layer and putting able shop up there or should it stay as is I’m a little indecisive rn lol
Not tryna be mean I was saying it in a funny way my b
I feel like it needs a better view because of its placement but idk
Maybe we'll have an audie tiki and bar
why aren’t you in the same exact pose
Uh
How could u
@woven drift i gave audie a surf shack. third picture on the left
Feel like I should just accept the fact that Tammi will never leave my island and I should make something for her (tried everything and no luck)
I gave Marshall a cafe too, he shares it w/ molly tho
Kiki's house and forest entrance 
Pekoe's house is fenced with imperial fencing but she's just part of the area (Chinatown) and doesn't have an actual yard lmao
Ty
my ables so far! it’s pretty bland so any ideas of what to add add appreciated!!
@tight badge I put instruments in front of mine because the villagers are too cute when they play and sing
NEED INSPO FOR STATUE GARDENS OR AREAS ON YOUR LOVELY ISLANDS WITH STATUESSSS Tysm in advance 🥺☺️🎉
poor kiki
@inner lynx I put some at my entrance
Wowwww amazing !!!
Can someone give me some advice w my bambooish garden? I had flowers everywhere and then got rid of them all and now I’ve changed the area a lot and still don’t like it lmao
@cobalt ice OMG GIRLLL AMAZZZINGGG
Thanks!!!! 😊 the garden i changed a bit but it’s basically thesame
If you need me to water flowers for free Im all yours! Hehe to see your island hehe
Tbh I don’t really even have flowers to water 😂 I’d be glad to have you over one of these days though! @inner lynx
This is where I’m at rn, thoughts?
Vivians leaving tomorrow so I gotta find someone to fit my themes
@woven drift custom path over some of the dirt maybe?
working on a lil' area to watch my villagers sing to me 🙂
@woven drift more zen stuff. Paper lanterns would look good. Just try make if fuller
@cobalt ice what types of custom paths? I have some leaves and flowers and stuff overlayed but idk if I like the look of overlayed wood
@native moth oo ok thanks!
Ideas for dancing area? I'm looking to make it good for k.k to come
i need me some city, urban, factory, grunge aesthetic inspiration
@teal belfry stuff like this maybe?

@tiny osprey (not mine)
i need money to do a bunch of stuff that i want to do does anyone have some spare bells?

island tingz 😳 💅
Dom is moving into is lot tommorow. I need ideas for his home. My island theme is natural (nature based). Any ideas on fencing, design, furniture?
@indigo ravine This is what I did for Dom's yard
Oh that's adorable.
baby
Could I come and catalog the weights? I can pay bells if you want?@limber ginkgo
oh those are diys I had someone craft them for me 😅
My music shop ✨
Really? What are they called? I'll see if I have them
they're called barbells and yea they're a diy @indigo ravine
barbell and kettlebell
Thanks!
@indigo ravine i can make you a kettlebell if you give me the materials
What does it require?
5 iron nugs
Alright, I tweaked it a little and added the paper lanterns. Behind the outdoor bath feels really empty tho, and I’m not sure what to add there. I would put more bamboo but it’s either too close to the cliff or it would block that tree. Thoughts?
@indigo ravine I can make the barbell.
@woven drift add the bath slippers (i think thats what they're called)
ooo let me grab some
*shower sandals
@woven drift maybe put like a bamboo partition or something so you still get the bamboo feel but like you can put it anywhere
a bamboo bench might be better too as a resting spot
my mini greenhouse at night
a bamboo bench might be better too as a resting spot
@zealous valve Yeah that would probably be better.
Maybe you could put the bench and a partition behind?
OK. I NEED SERIOUS PLAZA INSPO. I RESTARTED MY GAME COMPLETELY YESTERDAY-
That’s a good idea, thanks dragonking :)) also yeah I had a bamboo bench in the place where the log bench is but it was too much bamboo on that side for me
@woven drift no problem!
how do i make my plaza look less boring
does anybody have a cute cottage core forest thingy going on🥺 i have a forest but i need some inspiration on what items to place n stuff
how do i make my plaza look less boring
@woven drift shrubs, fences, flowers, benches, etc, around it!! i have a path that leads from my airport up into the middle of my plaza and fences arnd it
I need some cottage core island inspo too- TwT I'M SO NEEDY, OH MY GWAD-
@woven drift you can type in the search bar "in:island-layout has:image ___" to find a lot of inspo
Thank you!
Does anyone know dimensions for making a mini island on the map look circular?
@woven drift not mine
Thank you!
some photos during a meteor shower on my island ♡
Super stoked to finally share this, need someone with a more artsy eye for some suggestions
Basically the question mark describes what I’m doing perfectly
Can anyone possibly come help me design my island? I really don't want to start over and I have no idea what to do next or what to change/how to do it-
Show me your beaches! I need inspo badd
the park i’ve been working on 🙂
@native moth I made one into a small picnic area.
Does anyone have a villager who's home is by a cliff (on the lower level)
I'm looking for a little inspiration for a villager's home through a winding cliff/forest path - hopefully it'll eventually lead to the beach
Hi! I’m designing my villagers’ yards based on their home requests, as pulled from the wiki. My villager Bettina’s request was a famous patisserie, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a bakery theme.
I haven’t gotten any cakes yet
my mystical forest : )
Which looks better?
@rancid carbon the bottom one looks good!
bathhouse by the rainbow garden
Agree with the bottom one!
@arctic nimbus I made him an ice cream parlor! Maybe you could add that?
@rancid carbon the second one! I think that if you added a river between the top and the bottom one that would be cool too
@torn geode this is kinda cramped but its cocos house, her yard is actually the chasm to the right. the top level can not be climbed with a ladder and is a secret path leading to a golden treasure trove.
@rancid carbon i’d go with second!
Thanks all!
what have you guys done for tangys yard? Island theme is sleepy hollow but I want to honor her personality too
Poppy’s secret library 📚
Took some pics of my favorite spots on my island 
Should I make a market on the beach if so what would look good
@regal echo WOW THOSE LOOK AMAZING!!!
Looking for some inspiration for my entrance.

Rainy day
What should I do for the octipi's yards? In order is octavian, Maria, Zucker
I think when it comes to the villager house I'm trying to make, this is the kinda thing I'm looking to do. Anyone got any similar villager housing spaces?
does anyone know how to make this shape, or of a video tutorial? mine doesn’t look so good >///< pls dm or @ me so i see the notif
ty in advance!
@minor valley beautiful! What’s the name of the bush with the pink flowers? Looks like a cherry blossom bush
What should I do for the 3 octopus yards?
Hi guys any idea for this place?
Nesting sea turtles? @indigo ravine
@ember mica forced perspective mini village would look great there
Can someone share flower garden inspiration? Thank you ☺️
@zinc eagle I copied mine from that photo too, can I see what u have so far?
LF: Someone to design my map layout, in 2 weeks or less! Must be able to communicate/update me on progress daily.
I’m not some heartless soul tho, so hmu whenever something comes up/if you’re unable to continue (still get paid for whatever work you did)
FT: NMTs, seasonal mats, complete diy sets, help pay off bridge/house loans! Just name it and I’ll see if I can provide!
How should I design octavians yard? I was thinking something space themed as that's kinda his aesthetic, but judy already has some galaxy stuff in her yard.
Hey guys, can I get some feedback on my schools entry room? Like stuff I could add or change, cause I like it but it feels incomplete
Maybe some bookshelves or trophy shelves on the empty walls?
i need residential service inspiration
How should I design octavians yard? I was thinking something space themed as that's kinda his aesthetic, but judy already has some galaxy stuff in her yard.
Hm maybe like a fishing area or market?
Thoughts on my basic draft for my island?
2 more houses? @limber pendant
Still thinking where I could add them
I changed a lot but now I have an awkward empty space behind the bench, any ideas for what to put there or change in general
@woven drift 1st , VERY preetty 
2. A lantern (a normal or paper one ), or bambooshoot lamp? I like the little bamboo lunch box as well to will space
you could put another flower behind it!
@gleaming bay ty 🥺 and ooh let me try those both
@twilit arrow I’m scared to give in to the flowers again haha but I’ll try that too!! tyy
do any of you have natural/ cottage core entrance ideas
Does anyone have a campsite area without using custom design paths?
what kind of campsite do you want ? cos mine isn't very "natural" but could be donne without custom path, if I used arched stones or terracotta
Well, my main island pathing is using brick
@median widget my campsite is at the beach, no paths needed 🙂 looks real nice!
Oooh
Making a pizza shop/Italian restaurant. Any suggestions? Still trying to find a second fireplace to complete the counter
working on a tier 3 neighborhood. opinions?
@limber tundra I think it looks nice! Pretty creative using the fireplace as a counter
@median widget this is how it looks like if you were wondering! There is some custom designs on the ground but they’re not needed
Oh ok
@median widget here it is, I did like a modern camping site with a pool behin and a whole lot of services but here's the entrance, if you use arched path or any other you don't need the custom
@limber tundra that looks so amazing!!! i've never seen a pizza shop in animal crossing!! that's super creative ☀️!!
I wanna do like a beach side library for marina. Any inspo picks?
Just finished my Ables and Nook’s after more than 600 hours 🙃 It took me so much longer than I expected 😭
sorry for dm the spam: i have so much empty space what do i put there
@primal tartan what’s ur island theme?
i have industrial: roads as paths with a hint of galaxy/nova and nature
oh i could do a gas station
Oh true
any other ideas
I wanna do like a Central Park/art/garden area. Does anyone have any inspiration for me?
@primal tartan
hm okay thanks
I finished my secret library/study today! Thoughts?
@primal tartan i've seen drive-in theaters using the simple panels, film projectors and the car beds!! that would be fitting i think if you wanted to stick to more modern and industrial stuff!!
oh that’s awesome! thanks so much @woven drift !
Rate my animal crossing food truck?
I decided to build a raised bit of my island in front of resident services- I like having the fountains and I wanna put benches up here but I don’t know what else would work? Any ideas?
@latent shell they both look great! def worth the 600+ hours 😄
@silk otter that campfire is a unique touch
i also added an outdoor generator to the back of it and a campfire for them sweet audio
Alright I changed it again, thoughts?
@full torrent flowers & statues, benches , fences
@inner lynx i used a statue in front of my entrance, got a fake informative statue. not a fan of the rest of them to be honest. will grab some of the iron garden benches for up there and play around with it a bit. thanks 🙂
@woven drift looks so gooood now
Or a mini cafe or library/lounge area @full torrent
@zealous valve ty!! I went a different direction then I expected lol
where to put my 10th house in this tier three neighborhood
@woeful aurora you can always incorporate them into a little area, what villager is it?
judy
@woeful aurora hard to tell based on that map for me but i would guess move the house in the middle and the one above it, extend the block of houses and have a bit of a centrepiece? if that make sense
ooh! you can make her a little stargazing area, and put her house somewhere in the area so it’s like a little inclosure? idk
okay thank you guys
I really want to make my villagers some front yards and stuff, but I don't have room at the moment, and I don't know how to move them so I would have room. Any ideas..-?
@rocky tulip i gues that depends really, i have my villager house scattered all around the island so they can have nice front gardens that match the rest of my island.
@rocky tulip i actually put my villagers quite speradically so they all can have their own areas
but i guess if you want space, you can try pairing up villagers
@full torrent yep good idea. easiest pairing is chrissy and francine lol
Yeah, lol- There's also this decently large area where all there is is money trees, and I want to chop them all down, but I also- Don't want to-? It would clear up a lot of space, though, kinda, and I could modify the cliffs to try and move all the houses to the right side- I don't know, I suck at designing stuff, lol
@rocky tulip I think the best way is scatter them so you have the most room.
Any thoughts on ketchup new yard?
I- how the heck- do people do stuff like that-
@rocky tulip decorating your island should be fun. take it slow, it's not a rush. watch island tours. place stuff around and just see how it looks.
@silver holly maybe incorprate more orange furniture?? add some orange trees. but other than that, it looks good!
@rocky tulip if you really want to scatter them and/or move them you can start by moving them all to the beach, so you have a clean slate to work with
How unnatural does this river look?
@feral ridge meant ketchup, tangy is behind her!
ohh sorry, i read tangy lol
@rocky tulip it took me a long time to finish up my island. So don’t stress to much
hi so i'm doing something and i was wondering if anyone has a layout of a pond that has a circle of land in the middle it would be very appreciated
@feral ridge it said tangy I changed it!
@quaint pebble looks natural enough, maybe jut out some areas and make some stepping stones to a pond near it?
Honestly I really do want to do stuff to my island to make it look better but I just need motivation, tbh
This is what I have at the top of the river @austere nimbus
That is amazing
@feral ridge this is Tangy's I finished yesterday
@rocky tulip if you aren’t motivated, take a couple days off and pick back up again. You’re burning out by being so stressed probably.
@quaint pebble ooh! that definitely looks good, maybe put some hedges around the statue and/or some flowers?
Yeah, I probably should- Thank you for the advice-
@silver holly its what i was trying to describe earlier ahah! cool you have the villagers pictures in front of their house!
I will! I haven't started decorating yet
@rocky tulip this is the best decoration I have on my island. It’s not the best looking thing but it’s functional and pretty and I enjoy going to my shops. Honestly it took a lot of me moving around the stuff haha. Agreed on the burnout tho, spend some time catching fish and wandering around your island, pick areas that are empty and just Chuck stuff down and see how it looks. Good luck!
Holy crap you guys got such beautiful islands
I'm actually working on a kind of zodiac/stargazing spot at the moment, just to try it out, lol
i’ve spent 750+ hours on my island and it’s not even 1/5 done, don’t rush anything guys! 
@rocky tulip I took 2 weeks off from my Island renovations because I was stuck, but then I started looking at others islands and finding insp, and now I am finally happy with how it is going! Still a lot to do!
some areas of my island im the most proud of ahahah! Feel free to take ideas
I like your statues!!
Tangy's yard was prob my fav to make! 😊
@silver holly Yeah, I've been looking at a few tours of 5 star islands, too, and I get inspired, just don't know where to start, lol- I also don't really- have a theme, sadly. I've made a few things with mostly blue and purple flowers, though, so I guess it's tilting towards a sort of mystical thing, I guess
@rocky tulip I just started working on a new island and I was super motivated but then unmotivated because how tedious to beginning stages of the game was. So I took a couple days and it helped. I didn’t play any games. I just chilled and did some paintings. Helped me relax. So find something relaxing. Stay off discord too because that stressed you out more when you see everybody else’s island. Take a few days and then get back on to be motivated!
@rocky tulip if you don’t know where to start, I usually start at the entrance. It took me a few days to figure out what I kinda wanna do with my entrance https://twitter.com/leslie08154918/status/1285792030526828545?s=21
#AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch
New island coming along! https://t.co/7tBvRSLKso
@rocky tulip I have no theme, I just decorate each spot how I feel, I started with my entrance and house as I found them the easiest, now I'm working on my villagers.each place is the brick default
I really WANT to work on an entrance, it's just a little difficult, considering my RS is like- 10-12 spaces from my airport, so I don't know what to exactly do with so little room- and it's kind of hard to find a short entrance I like
same @silver holly i find it a lot less stressful that way
@rocky tulip it’s okay if you don’t have a theme. My overall theme is tropical resort on my original island. But I liked so many things I put in a lot of different themed areas that you might find on a tropical island. So you really don’t need one specific theme
Should I keep the white deck and color scheme or make it brown to fit my cottagecore island better?
@woven drift probably the brown
i have little room between resident services + airport too! this is what i did (inspired by someone on youtube)
Ooh, I love that!
ahahaha ty! @rocky tulip feel free to take any ideas
y’all animal crossing isn’t supposed to be stressful even tho it sometimes is ngl take it slow! if you think it looks bad try again, the games not gonna disappear the next day lmao 
My entrance, and my favorite thing I've done is my house
@rocky tulip if you don't want to chop all your money trees and still want to grow them, i used to have a small place to make them grow. I dunno if this will help..
@twilit lintel tyy
oh and also just bc you tried an idea alr somewhere and didn’t like how it looked doesn’t mean it won’t work on ur island, try it somewhere else or change it up!
I made like a small reading space isolated from the rest of the island. I'm thinking of adding more here but I'm not sure what else I could place
idk feeling very poetic rn sorry lmao
@rocky tulip if you’re going for something with zodiac items, you could always try something like this maybe. This is an entrance to my secret beach. But you could try to tweak it and put it as your actual entrance
a tiny library? @fluid geyser
@woven drift hhhh this is what I have- and- there's even more-
omg... @rocky tulip GIMME THAT MONEY jkjk lol
I swear I haven't shaken like one tree since the game RELEASED
i made this little outdoor study area next to my museum 
@feral ridge ah, that could work! though I'll have to buy a diy of that first. Thanks!
i have little room between resident services + airport too! this is what i did (inspired by someone on youtube)
@feral ridge. Entrence is lovely wholey heck
My gold rose garden is my simplest area @rocky tulip
Fr all of you are making me want to just start redoing my island entirely thank you I can't
My gold rose garden is my simplest area @Tarantula55
@feral ridge. Entrence is lovely wholey heck
@gray brook awww tysmm!! the original inspo is queenie anne on youtube tho i did tweak it a bit

Thanks took alot and I don't trade often so each and everyone was self bred!
My pirate themed secret beach finally has a visitor! 😂
@fickle obsidian it looks so good!!
@hidden knot thank u! 😊😆
Omigosh that's so pretty! It all looks so well together!
i have a teacup ride what can i do with it? a fun fair? could i have some pictures pls (:
You could do a fun fair, circus, maybe on the darker side you could do an abandoned fair with a creepy vibe, I'll look for some ideas on pinterest!
okay thank you so much! i need to see what other furniture i would need for a fun fair etc. i’ll search some up
I found this, which is really cool!
Looking for someone to help me make ideas for my island design🥺 I actually have zero idea what I should do dm me plz

still looking for inspo for the area around resident services 
I was thinking about adding these but im not that sure
Im finished terraforming, i just need to decorate
Also im going for a butterfly fairytale theme
That's beautiful!
Tysm
i found where to move judy
I need some inspo to the left/right/behind resident services! I’m trying to go for a cottage core theme so if anyone could help that would be great 🙂
Looking to change my shopping area suggestions? https://twitter.com/ceoexsisting/status/1285518015694434304?s=21
Has anyone done an orchard incorporating some of the fruit items?
@silver holly here's smthn I used for Tangy's exterior
@dim grotto i recommend taking a look at legend of Zelda: twilight princess market place
@zenith roost I like that! Thanks for sharing!
Will do thanks!
@fickle obsidian omg I love that so cool!!
Anyone have a space themed island?!
Can anyone give me an island tour I need inspiration
hi guys! i have a small bit of land on my island right next to resident services and i dont know what to put there, any ideas?
@versed dust cafe / library / bus stop / fountain / flower garden / diy craft station / trading spot
i guess it depends what you already have and where you resident services is
ohh you could have a cafe or a diner. cliff can act as wall for a closed space
small library could work too!
ooh okay. i dont have bookselves yet so i might make a small cafe sitting area with a small garden shop. its going to be right in between res services and my museum
oh wow i just realised that my town hall and my secret beach is directly in the middle of my map
ah yeah i thought you could put the big bookshelves along the "walls". but a garden shop seems like a good idea. it could also be a small garden with bug models as a display, since it's also next to the museum!
thanks for your ideas @zealous cloak ur really smart
ahaha no problem im glad i could help you. send pictures once you figure it out!!
ooh i shall :) also the snow kind of makes everything look gross so idk how itll turn out
i'm sure itll work out!
I've been sat on a cushion for 2hrs waiting for Pekoe to come sit next to me.
what should i do for this little area?
@cursive meteor what's around the area?
resident services is in the back and to the left i have a farmers market/hangout area
small park or flower garden?
hmm that could be a good idea. thanks!
@cursive meteor i think a picnic area could look cute (:
thats also a cool idea! idk what to choose😆
you could do a picnic area in a flower garden!
I'm working on a little cafe, not sure which colour to use between the blue and black seating.... Opinions?
@cursive meteor I think a little woodland park with some benches could work?
Stick with Brown or use Grey?

@fringe heron I think brown matches the furniture better
It really does but it sometimes clashes with the colors. 
I'll stick with Brown tho!
@wind grove I think blue! It pops more
brown looks so rustic. its cute
Anyone have inspo for a blossom or mushroom area
Why there isn’t the turnips nook buy and all anymore ?

@silver holly here’s mine! I only used the boxes and fruit basket though
Any suggestions for what to do here?
coco typing a letter to her mum. 🥺
I dunno what to do here - any ideas?
@gusty magnet literally anything, it's an open space
cafe, park, themed area, marketplace, flower garden.. so on
Should I put my shops in that brown patch area or should I put them somewhere else
Where should I put my toilets
love the water reflection edit that's going around atm. one of my pier

Where should I put my toilets
@woven drift in ur bathroom 😂
@gusty magnet 🤣 no portable toilets for public use
Who likes my island entrance it’s symmetrical
eeewww symmetry :S
hmmm I put mine in my swimming pool area to act as a "Changing Room" @woven drift
Here’s my entrance i don’t know how to make symmetrical things
Symmetry? Never heard of her
This is what I came up with from the empty space! I did the pond but ended up making a smol river for the bridge XD❤️
Could someone come to my island and help me with some ideas
How come I never see city style islands posted?
Guyssss i need help- my Island is so big Dx
@woven drift it might not be as popular..?
isn't that pretty easy tho? everything is just squares LUL
isn't that pretty easy tho? everything is just squares LUL
@gusty quiver not really, after finishing my neighborhood I’m lost what else I could do to decorate
i just put trees, flowers, weeds and other foresty items everywhere
@woven drift search up on Pinterest!! U will find heaps of inspo there , just search something along the lines animal crossing new horizon city themed or something
Urban themes are much harder to pull off since the game is so distinctly not urban themed
^ Truuuuue
@woven drift ppl just like cottagecore here lmao
True
i want my island to be cozy
Yes but with the number of people on here I would have thought we’d see city style islands at some point
My tailor/housing area
Does it look alright having both stores right next to resident center or should I move them a bit further away
@burnt osprey I like islands with shops close to the plaza, but it all depends how you decorate/terraform it
@woven drift if you go in search and press search in channel choose this channel and search the word “city” u will find some
I actually just did that for an entrance idea.
@gusty quiver yeah I kinda wanted them fairly close just wasn’t sure if this is too close haha
i definitely see city ideas in here, but considering how much easier it is just to use plants and flowers and craftable items im not really surprised by how many more 'nautral' islands there are posted here
i definitely see city ideas in here, but considering how much easier it is just to use plants and flowers and craftable items im not really surprised by how many more 'nautral' islands there are posted here
@nova olive yea like the furniture that ac gives just helps much more with cottagecore imo
not to mention items like servers, which look great in cityscapes, are kinda pricy after awhile lol
agreed
crafting items is difficult once you start running out of materials. :')
im running out on every material available, hehe
i feel u
the perpetual struggle to get clay and wood. i have quite an intense hycanith lamp addiction lol
I just got ankha and I’m looking for some ideas for around her house if someone has any!
My English town/city
This is my fav ankha yard ive seen @cold gust
Inspo for how you all show off all varieties/colors of flowers? Having a hard time deciding how to..
@cold gust my Ankha
Omg that is literally so cool, now I just have to get all those items 😂
Any island inspiration 🥺
Do you get the sphinx from Gulliver?
@smoky cove do you mean like in a garden or decorating an area w flowers?
@deft glen not my pic. I saw someone post it in a group. Just a garden area to show all the varieties. Along these lines of a rainbow garden?
I Wish my Island would be smaller. You would have to work Out what to do with your Limited space. :(
@cold gust sphinx and pyramid from gulliver ya
Those Ankha yards really make me wanna get Ankha. But she won't fit well with my island. 
i used to have ankha and i got rid of her for the same reason lol her color scheme doesnt match w my island
I saw this really cool pirate ship design that someone did, does any have a similar design that they would mind sharing
Beau's yard is done~ 
@smoky cove I think my rainbow garden was the 1st thing I ever finished so it was very basic and not worth providing a pic lol
@abstract kelp
Very cute! ;> I like it
@smoky cove I do like the gardens that are circular and I think most often either the starry items or butterfly models are added
@abstract kelp that looks really cool! 😄
anyone have any celeste themed area inspo?
⭐️🌷 my angels throne area
bruh my jaw dropped, that’s gorgeous
Hey guys, can i see your islands cafe? 🙂
can some people send what their maps look like here? i need a little guidance. i want to do a bunch of terraforming just need some inspo rather than just randomly going for it
is there anyone who can give me like pointers and things like that on my island, i plan on redoing it without resetting it
@woven drift start in one area when redoing your island. Destroy it and move those buildings then rebuild it. It will help save bells and time.
can i come to someones island for inspiration
Still working on this but I finally found a good spot for Ables and I might turn this into a very small market. (Stalls won't be seeable but it's the thought and imagination that counts!)
please
@plain flicker hope it helps
great ty!!
@inner gull
My Island isn't complete so I can't really help you out. So sorry. 
You can see if someone might be available to let people visit their islands for inspo in #690093605821480980 though!
my island is extremely basic and i hate it
im thinking of making the whole backend of my island a first layer of terraforming so it’s one raised up from the front of my island, should i do that?
@plain flicker are you going for a natural or more symmetric look?
@gusty quiver natural, not symmetrical at all
this is what my island looks like right now
@plain flicker that's really cool! the difference from mine is that i have a lot more elevated area. But i like what you've done. I find it hard to make nice looking areas behind "mountains" though, because it gets in front of the camera, same with trees 😛
@gusty quiver thanks! and very true. im thinking of connecting the back two big “island” tiers, like the one with the museum and the one with the two houses on it: connecting those
or instead ill expand the one on the right and make it cover the whole top right corner. i can’t decide !!
@plain snow what item is that wooden water spout thing?
yea but that valley between there is also a nice entrance to the secret beach. maby you can have a third more elevated area to the lower left? 🤔 Or what you said, and expand the right one, that would be my first suggestion, but i wasn't sure if you wanted to move all those houses, hehe
that's a bird bath btw
exactly what i was thinking! i moved all those houses so that i could work on the left side of my island 😂 it’s no problem, just time consuming. ill expand the right one!! thank you so much :))
and the wooden one near the bottom?
currently 50% of my houses are on the beach, and i just move then as i go along, hehe.
the wooden bath is a "cyprus bathtub"
Show me your statue gardens or areas where you have statues placed ☺️☺️
Or entrances with statues
Or gardens with statues
that’s smart omg i should do that instead. and okay thanks !
@inner lynx
@woven drift Omgggggg💕💕💕💕💕
I have a lot of statues
Are there any fossils/skeletons that show behind the museum? I put a mammoth back there but you can't see it. At all
T. rex maybe
@brazen plinth try brachiosaurus
Any advice for Sherb’s yard? Trying to keep a blue/snack theme, but this is all I could think of 😭
@latent swan the ice treats? You could make a little stand
@plain flicker it's a cypress bathtub
@latent swan Add flowers, lots of whites look nice. Try add some seating like sherb has his own little area to read and drink coffee
This is my map so far (still have to move all the villager houses to the top left) I’m going for symmetrical (city theme) and I don’t know what to do with the rivers
sherb loves nature, so maybe a lil' garden and some trees with a bench?
I need help with my island on what to add im adding a picnic area, park, market stalls, a garden and a cafe I need 3 more things to add
im boring and decorated his yard based on the colour of his house, and i found white rattan furniture goes really well because of the mint pillow
progress on my lil' seating area to be serenaded by my villagers 😭
I need help with my island on what to add im adding a picnic area, park, market stalls, a garden and a cafe I need 3 more things to add what should I add I need ideas
@analog vine An art studio possibly, with a little waterfall
@verbal ferry I don’t want a art studio but thanks for the idea do I have any other ideas
@analog vine this is in the pins but also think about what particular items you like and making an area based around it, say that I like the wind turbine item I could make a windfarm on a raised platform
anything i can think to suggest is on that list lol
anyone here have post office with cottagecore/natural/forest theme?
I need some ideas what to add for my island I’m adding these stuff a picnics area, a park, a cafe, a flea market and a garden and I need 3 more things to add please give me a idea??????
@analog vine what’s ur theme
Adjusted Redd's little beach. (Ignore the Bamboo and those flowers. hahaha.)
Not sure how it'll look once Redd comes. (he stops by tomorrow, yes, i timetraveled.)
does anyone have any inspo for the nook shop or mable sisters? my aesthetic is cottage core
Been working on this for weeks finely finshed my arcade area
Marshal the musician and Chief the artist “simple yard decoration”
I have no idea what to do with this section that i renovated😔
Any japanese stop path, tomare in black?
I hate this area anyone have any ideas what to do with it?
What else can I add for my island entrance???
Do you guys like my pool
Any city theme 5 star islands I can tour?
What do you guys think of my blueberry forest
that’s so nice
Woah I wanna do cottage core and flatten my island but I also don’t want to 😅
@cerulean scaffold that's so creative 😍😍
Guys? I need your opinion.
I had the Idea of restarting my entire Island and then recreating the Trailer scenes so people could visit me and feel Like they're in the Trailer. Is that a good idea or a waste of time? :'(
Don’t restart and the trailer had white picket fences
Yeah ik thats sucks fsm
I don't Like my Island tho. Its so big and i cant utilize the amount of space.
meanwhile i want more space
Well oops- i Wish we could choose
Restarting would mean you have to find all your recipes again, fill space with erraforming cliffs and waterfalls
Restarting would mean you have to find all your recipes again, fill space with erraforming cliffs and waterfalls
@woven drift you mean i should fill a big Portion of my Island with water?
I mean sprinkle little cliffs with waterfalls around to take up a lot of space like this (not mine)
Yeah but i thats a Bit overdecorated yk? No hate it Looks gud
Cliffs fill space really well is the point
Yeah
Is this. Ore your style? (This one is mine)
Diving exhibit I’m kinda happy this is my latest project!
I'll Show ya my Style hold on
Yellow White and Open
I think the openness is the reason why you’re running into this issue
My style is kinda open with mixed flowers of the same colour
Yeah but on my old Island it was really crumbled and i had No space as Well as lag
So your old island had less space and this one has too much space
I’m working on a farm so I’ll see u guys in a min! Current progress: clearing old paths!
Ya I did not restart island. I wanted a cottage core/mush forest theme but I had a city theme so I just cleared everything! Andy any space i had no idea what to do with I just filled with lake trees and flowers and it looks nice now and it’s better than losing my complete diy collection
wait when you restart your island, you loose all of your diys?
Yes
yes if u reset
I love my painting spot at night
I still need 3 more ideas I miss counted I’m adding in these stuff star gazing, picnic area, cafe, flea market, garden and a park I need some ideas what to add
Btw @woven drift love what you have shown of ur island
Aww ty
Wedding area?
Outdoor movie night?
Good morning ☀️ these islands are looking so beautiful!

Carnival
Oooo that’s a cool idea do u have one? @woven drift
Im here again sry my Phone had to restart. Well...
Yeah my current Island is too big thats the issue. I Like the Trailer Style. Its more simple and has the vibe the Game was supposed to Provide. But now it Looks so unnatural. This was my old Island, i didnt Like:
Yep
@woven drift Was it challenging to remove the map’s natural rivers?
Wow awesome! Will definitely use as inspo
i finished waterscaping the area around my castle ~~
Have you seen my honey area?
@pallid sentinel No it was a bit time consuming and may take 1-2 hrs if u have a lot but it’s all worth it in the end
Aw cute. Thats my Style :0
I love the honey stands!
I'll do a lemonade stand when tropical fruits will be added
It’s so cute! Everyone should have honey 🍯 
I wish you could eat honeycombs
Wait-
I wish the fruit water dispenser thing could be customized to like a lemonade one limeande and orange juice one
YES
Should I restart or Not? ._.
No! Just hire someone to dig up on your flowers and plant on the beach chop down trees and dig up bushes. Then put all furniture and put in storage and then go from there and do section by section that’s what I am currently doing and it’s very pleasing once a thing is done! @woven drift
I don't think thats working for me tho
Restarting is a pain. It’s easier to just rebuild your island. I have rebuilt my island a few times, takes some patience, but eventually everything will fall into place 
@amber moon You are 100% right!
But i Just cant seem to fit in all the Styles with a good transition
Hmmmm idk maybe have someone help u plan and guide u!
Can it be you?
Also, moving buildings is expensive, but it’s worth it. Idk how many bells I’ve spent on moving, but it worked out and now I’m happy as ever with my island!
For example. This was once my Garden but i Destroyed it because it is TOO empty.
I’m not very good but I’m sure someone here would do it!
Sorry for the blur btw its an old picture .-.
anyone have a sort of rural city entrance?
Made a little star watching area! Should it stay?
It also helps when u plan out ur map this is mine!
im looking for forest/city vibes e.g. abandoned train station, dirt paths with some brick pathing mixed in etc if anyone has seen something similar!!
what i mean by the dirt path/brick lol
Sorry i don't use custom Designs so i don't- :(
I love custom designs
I’d say that it seems like your heart is set on restarting, have you restarted before?
I guess it depends on how many hours you put into the game already
some custom designs are ok, others are a bit too much
i was at 300hrs and i reset, its good, just a bother to transfer items you want to keep to and from another person's island
and a bother to find an island layout you like 🙄 helpful tip, look at the default layouts beforehand lol
IM SO HAPPY!!! Almost done!
@steep socket here’s a city entrance someone else had posted before. I hope it gives inspo!
Does someone have a cool entrance? I’m trying to find an inspiration for mine... 😊
I don’t, lol. It’s very boring.
Anyone have any suggestions on entrances or ideas when RS is super close to airport?
I liked the open concept for an entrance.
@small pebble I’ve seen ppl put a waiting area or a small cafe when the RS is so close to the airport
My island is tropical themed but I’m stuck on what to do in this area any suggestions?
Good spot for a flea market
Ahh ty!
Guys what can I do here? Mi island is withe , purple
My entrance leads up to the lodge
@brazen palm maybe a picnic area?
@brazen palm maybe a picnic area?
@amber moon
Lol hmmm
Already done in the other side 😦
Maybe a small flower shop? Or even a mini green house with panels and stalls?
Jeje don’t hate me , already done in other part of the island , I will take a look at Pinterest
Lol no prob! I love Pinterest! 
a wishing well maybe?
That’s a good suggestion!
you could make a tiny reading area. @brazen palm
@languid pecan this is my entrance
@small pebble not mine. But this is what someone did who had a close RS. Most people deviate visitors with cliffs or trees. And a lot use a diagonal bridge
Anyone opening 5 star islands? I'm bored and I want to visit different islands with interesting concepts
@vernal oxide thanks so much! I love this

@small pebble
@brazen palm street muscian with the white instruments? Also, pot in front like for tips
@small pebble not mine. But this is what someone did who had a close RS. Most people deviate visitors with cliffs or trees. And a lot use a diagonal bridge
@vernal oxide oh hey that's mine 🙂
@vernal oxide thanks so much! I love this
@small pebble let me know if you want to come see in person 🙂 this is basically all i have done on my island though besides just soooome terraforming around my campsite
@ionic raft hahaha I couldn’t remember how to spell your name otherwise I would’ve @ you 😅 and it’s gorgeous!
@ionic raft hahaha I couldn’t remember how to spell your name otherwise I would’ve @ you 😅 and it’s gorgeous!
@vernal oxide oh no worries at all, just flattered. thank you so much 😂 i know i don't have the easiest name in the world!
@ionic raft of course!! Gorgeous islands deserve to be shown off!
i'm personally a huuuuge fan of narrow tunnels and cliffs, my whole island is covered in them but it isn't everyone's favorite for an entrance because there's only a bit of space for trading
@scenic blaze hi hello! My island is kind of the same as yours. Can we tour each other’s island?
mine is the saaame, i love that look. feels cosy. i like to refer to my entrance as the valley of the gnomes because of how many i hid around lol
@woven drift mine is currently being used as storage for a friend who's resetting her island hahahaha it isn't tour worthy right now
Mine lol idk if this is the updated look or not ... and it’s not, but that’s okay lol
mothra, what's the little candle item on the bench?
My villagers don’t have structured yards, but they have themed surrounding areas lol This is Flora’s home. She loves flamingos 🦩 
It’s an aroma pot @zealous mortar
thanks!
I have one in my pic above ^
Wow I got the game like a month ago and never realized that you could decorate this hard
It’s addicting, like, ridiculously addicting 
i love the aroma pot, the customizations are so flexible
i wish every item had as many color variations as that one does, it would make theming items to an area sooooo much easier
I love the tiny glow of light they give off too! So cute and yes, the customization on them is fabulous!
Hey everyone! I created a Casino on my island. It's still small - only 6 games including a race as of now! But I was wondering what you would add!? What sort of things would you guys like to see at a casino night in ACNH!? We've done if 3 nights now and it's been successful - I truly just want to expand and improve! Photo for attention ☺️
i’m looking for someone who can help me get my island to 3 stars (currently at 2) by helping me choose paths or helping me on moving things or even giving me items (i’ll pay for those items)
i’ll pay for your help.
Fixed up my cafe 
my entrance!! what do you guys think?☺️🍂
Adorbs!!! 
there’s not a channel to put this in but:

@storm idol just place a lot of items, plant a lot of flowers, and build fences around buildings.
@storm idol I literally put down so many log benches until I got 3 stars
@storm idol to get to 3* you don't need it to look nice. you just need to dump a lot of items, literally items you get from balloons etc all the garbage, craft cheap things e.g. log stakes, and go to #flower-plants-trade cus there're many people giving out free flowers
The back of my island (all the black rocks) have the most random items: rockets, solar panel, etc to keep my island 5 ⭐️ but without seeing all that crap 😂
can anyone show me their more natural entrance?? i had a huge fancy one but im redoing my island and what i did so far looks really bad lol (I have a ton of space to do it idk what to do tho!!)
My hibiscus flowers bloomed just in time for my birthday! So proud of my pond
That’s gorgeous! @rancid spire
More progress on Ables/the small market next to the Resident Services.
I'm thinking of putting small tables so that the animals can dine in while also shopping!
@quaint pawn I need that welcome sign
Are these paths too much? I’m going for a fairycore/ enchanted theme ☺️
Love it!
I’m still obsessed with my train park
I love turning the train sets off and my villagers turn them back on 😂
@storm idol there’s a really good guide in the pinned section about what you need to get to 3 stars and above
@amber moon omg I’m in love with it!!
Tysm! @carmine depot I’m currently crafting the other two tree standees so it matches the seasons!
I'm gonna completly re-do my island can someone send me some maps for Inspo
Does anyone have any tips for making rivers? I'm so stuck mine look like 💩
u guys aren’t ready for this... gay flower garden🌈
That’s amazing!!
thank u !!!
Amazing
I wanna do like a Central Park/art/garden area. Does anyone have any inspiration for me?
I might steaL this haha
I sorta have a rainbow garden too!
@reef cobalt I didn’t finish my island yet. But this is what my map looks like so far
@vernal oxide what are the y shaped paths?
Standees done! Rainbow garden (purple flowers are there, but out of view)
@bleak relic i have a statue garden if that is what you meant?
@neon current oh the weird one at the bottom left? I did a rainbow garden but I split it with a cliff that has a walkway in the middle leading to Merengue’s bakery and Marshal’s cafe: (unless you mean something else lol)
@dusky niche yea something like that!
@bleak relic well hope that helped (its all black cosmos now with holly bushes)
I have half my island as flat land with nothing Ideas on what i can do?
i have a spot where i want to put an incline but it's three spaces wide... does anyone have help on how to go from three to two spaces lol
@quaint flare theres a big list of ideas in the pinned section!
ok ty
A tiny library, maybe? @woven drift customize it to be dark brown to match perhaps?
Some saplings might be nice, or maybe a honey collector+honey combs near the tree?
I love the tiny libraries 😍😍
This is my little library 
Lolol I’m glad someone else has lost items as decorations! If it’s a villager whose photo I have, I’ll keep it so I can use it as decor 
Yeah I love to use them, the books are my favorite but the bags are also super nice because I hate how you can’t place bags normally without a mannequin
I have two lost items for decor
Never thought about the bag one tho! I could put that by Ables! 😍
You can place lost items?
I'm trying to decide on what bridge I should use to my campsite
Technically “drop”
does anyone have a fairy garden they could send for inspo ? 🙂
The bags are so nice! It drives me crazy that you can’t place bags just on the ground like you can with shoes or umbrellas. So occasionally I’ll drop them in front of someone’s house and I love it
@fringe lotus I have a fairy island if you would like to visit and look around for inspo
Thoughts on in front of ankhas house by the way? I’m not sure how I feel about it
Pekoe has a Tiny Library 🙂
So jelly of that treasure chest. I haven’t gotten that from pirate 🏴☠️ Gulliver yet. Only had him once
I payed like 80nmt for it I haven’t had him either 
Heyyy! I RLLY need inspo for my entrance!! It’s a mess atm and idk what to do
my resident services is so close to the airport and I don’t have much room! 😭
@jade crescent
I need some ideas for able and cranny decorations
@daring bobcat I did this for my nooks and ables!
does anyone have any ideas for entrances when the plasa is right in front of the airport? aaa
Also I love maps when your island is in construction, can you tell what I haven’t started working on yet? 
Thanks :0
Old pic, but still the same for my Nooks
Ty 
@sullen crown I don’t but this is from @ionic raft and they have a close RS. Most people use cliffs to deviate visitors away from RS and/or trees to make it seem farther
ty @vernal oxide ! I'm going to try to make it look good xD
@sullen crown there’s a super good terraforming link someone sent the other day if you need any help in that department. https://twitter.com/saltspringac/status/1275977670493261824
My tropical paradise 🥰
ty @vernal oxide ! I'm going to try to make it look good xD
@sullen crown let me know if you want to come see it in person!
Current Able shop. Upper and lower areas
Golden hour over the valley
I highly recommend a gong. The villagers whack it and it’s sooooo cute!!
Help! What do i do with all this spacee
aww thank you! my island is taking so long to decorate!
decorating is a very long process.
It does. I’ve rebuilt and rebuilt until I realized I love fairycore and now I’m finally satisfied 😂
do you have any images or references im real stumped hah
