I wanted mine to look kind of futuristic but its starting to look more victorian or like old downtown in a big city
I'm leaning into it
Hey guys, I need some inspiration for my park (playground ) and Amusement Park (Fariground) | If you know/have any good ones can you DM them シ 𝑡ℎ𝑥
@woven drift if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: imagefrom:lchanchan2#5448 “ she has a tropical resort island theme ! And has shared a bunch of pics in the chat
Suggestions for my Sushi Bar? 😅😂 I’m trying to figure out what to use for the counters. Also not sure how well the simple panel goes w the zen wall lol
I wanted my town to be Urban themed, but rn its like cottage core with hints of japanese urban
Does anyone have ideas for that extra piece of land on the side of the island? Anything but a diving/lighthouse area
Looking for ideas for Villager Yards, Diving Areas, and Stargazing areas. Please dm me pics or ideas you might have. Thank you in advance!!!
resetting my island today :’) rip to all these photos
@jovial fern I did a painting area: (mine was small)
@jovial fern Ive seen some do like picnic/date areas for the little area
@sullen crown reset or just flattening everything?
resetting
Oh damn rip fam good luck
thank youu, i’ve been wanting a change lol
@woven drift maybe the customize the outdoor table to have a sushi pattern. Like this: (but sushi instead)
@slender flicker here are some villager yards I did!
@woven drift if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: imagefrom:lchanchan2#5448 “ she has a tropical resort island theme ! And has shared a bunch of pics in the chat
@vernal oxide omg thank you!
@woven drift you could also use the custom design hats. You should be able to find some good ones in #custom-design-help🎨
@jovial fern such a good idea! I didn’t even know you could customize the outdoor table lol thank you!
@woven drift this is what someone else posted if it helps! They used the den desks and stalls!
@vernal oxide that definitely helps, thank you! 😊
@woven drift this is what someone else posted if it helps! They used the den desks and stalls!
@vernal oxide oh wow that’s so nice!!
any ideas on what i can decorate the outside of ankhas house :3 ?
my island is mostly pink but honestly anything works :)!
Any suggestions for what flowers I should put around my rock garden?
@vague sail if you scroll up a bit I posted a pic of ankha’s yard! Not pink theme but maybe it’ll help with inspo!
@vague sail Many people do a desert theme for Ankha with golden items, Pyramids, Sphinx, etc. However if that doesn't work so well with your island's vibe, maybe she could have an Egyptian fashion shop? Palatial Tank Dress, the Gullivar headdress, a pink changing room and a waiting area
:0 omg tysm
@silver holly for my rock garden I'm doing white hyacinths, purple roses, and purple tulips/blue roses (I haven't decided the last one yet). I don't have pics tho coz it's not finished yet.
@opaque crest I'm thinking purple and yellow hyacinths
But it depends what matches your island theme or the theme of your rock garden if that makes sense. For example, my rock garden is like a dense fairy forest theme so that why I chose those.
Suggestions for my Sushi Bar? 😅😂 I’m trying to figure out what to use for the counters. Also not sure how well the simple panel goes w the zen wall lol
@woven drift here's mine. i just used the stalls as the tables
@opaque crest I don't have a theme to my island
What is the best way to make a mini art gallery so to speak? Any inspo?
@silver holly Well then I reckon whatever matches with the nearby area or something. Or like what matches with the design of your rock garden.
@charred geyser i made an art gallery maze
@twilit lintel its cool but I lack the time and hedges lmao
@charred geyser it didnt take that long to do honestly
@loud tendon looks awesome! Thanks!
@charred geyser If you type "in: island-layouts has: image art gallery" into the search bar, you can see lots of past images involving art galleries 🙂
@stuck trail perfect thanks!
Can someone give me ideas on how to decorate the able sisters
@hollow plover search up in the search bar of this server "in: island-layouts has: image abels"! You should find heaps of inspo!
@charred geyser I made an art display!
It looks a little empty around the able sisters, but I have no idea what to do.
@hollow plover my shop areas are very small but here's my ables!
@hollow plover @unborn cedar I used clothes to display around as well as a sewing area!
that looks really cute
Thats so adorable! thank you 🥺
I just finished my Ancient Greek inspired amphitheater!
@civic vault cool idea!
@swift palm thanks!!! I saw someone doing Shakespeare’s Globe theatre and I thought I can finally recreate a Greek one!!!
Anyone got any unique cottage core inspo?
@woven drift here's mine.
@cedar venture wow so nice!
@hollow plover I have the Labelle collection outside my Able's! I have all the colors so I plan on changing them every couple weeks
Anyone got any unique cottage core inspo? I rlly need ideas
I only have the black one
Ooo that’s pretty cool! @north knoll
@woven drift lol i dont know if this will help. a lot of people do cottage core so im not sure if anything will stand out too much. maybe this will help.
@woven drift thank you^^
My entrance 
I just finished this!
@woven drift does this help? I'm still not 100% sure what all the -core terms mean 😅
@regal echo oh my god it so beautiful like wwwhhhaaat!!
@regal echo @twilit lintel tysm!
@limber ginkgo Yes!
Does anyone have any yard ideas for these villagers?
@woven drift i gave marshal a cafe
@woven drift Raymond and Molly! featuring Poppy
Ooooooooo! Cool!
@woven drift ^ same. And I just finished Raymond’s yard. Let me grab a pic
My town: lagging, cluttered, stuff glitches in and out
Me: soo.. more decorations?
just built a spa for hot stone massages 🤤
I don't have Raymond anymore 😭
@woven drift I did this for Raymond! I gave him a book/art store
@vernal oxide I love how photogenic Raymond is
i saved too many entrance ideas on pinterest now i have no idea which ones to actually do lmaoo
Oooo I like it it’s different from everyone else! @vernal oxide
@boreal solstice same!
@woven drift this is what I did for Ankha! I added gold roses since this pics
@limber ginkgo I caught him at the perfect time as I finished his yard 🥺
Oooo that’s cool!
I got too lazy to make a real entrance so my airport leads straight to my house 😂
@vernal oxide one of my favorites to take pics of was Tangy, I can't wait to get her back 🥺
@limber ginkgo she looks so adorable 😍
does anyone have a bunny shaped pond thingy ive seen some people have it but I can’t find any references or anything anywhere 🥺
What do I put hereeee? Reee I’m so lost
@pulsar harbor music area? It's pretty close to RS so villagers can easily wander in and interact with stuff
build a giant waterfall cliff thing
does anyone have inspo/codes for a cottagecore, cream, farm type forest
wow that’s specific
Ooo that’s a good idea Charlie! Thank u!
Alright honest opinion time. I gave both Raymond and Diana a book/art store. What do we think?
@reef pine I have a forrest with a mostly white colour scheme if thats what your looking fore
wow that’s specific
@reef pine How in the world did you just describe 75% of my island
@soft plaza love that tysm what’s the song you have playing all around 
mountain song
@vernal oxide awesome! Maybe I would put a cool path down though! Maybe if u could find a marble custom path for Diana and use the stone one for Raymond!
@woven drift ty!!
My new fav thing is bushes I never used them rlly before but then the other day I payed my brother to sit and keep talking to Leif and buy 100 lol
Ables!
Nooks!
I’m also addicted to hedges
Alright honest opinion time. I gave both Raymond and Diana a book/art store. What do we think?
@vernal oxide love the color scheme for Raymond!! I think the dark brown is throwing me off a little bit for Diana tho, have you tried a lighter color? (it's hard tho bc it looks nice being all symmetrical ;-;)
@plain forge I was thinking about that too because I can order the white desks but I didn’t know if I should since they’re across from each other. About to make Raymond dark and Diana light at this point 😂💀
@vernal oxide ooo yes try it out ;--; and send pics!! hehe
The den desk does have a white option so perhaps keep an eye for it to go with diana
@soft plaza just ordered them 🥰 hahah thank you though!
finally recreated my map in photoshop so i can make rough placement notes 🙂
Can someone post the building dimensions
.t sizes

@still sage ^
any anime ideas for my island?
I want an honest opinion about my drive in movie theater
@fossil frost looks great! You can add hats with popcorn designs for your popcorn stall as well 🙂
Thank you @proven harbor
@plain forge ty for the suggestion!
Np! If you have have the black panel the screen might look more cohesive that way too @fossil frost
@fossil frost you can ad the flim protector
Can someone help me with a layout I have no ideas😫
@hollow canyon what idea do you have for your island
I’m currently working on totally reterraforming my map, I’d like some tips on ways to decorate around these parts I have finished, I’m going for a rustic forest look, I’m going to add white roses to go with the black ones and I need to add more trees but what else should I do? What are some good pieces of furniture I should use?
@north knoll like fairy core/ cottage core
@hollow canyon i would recomend doing "in: island-layouts has: image map" in the search bar in discord
@hollow canyon oki im doing same thing completely cleard map i terrformed the crap outta swrily river waterfalls
@heady estuary shrubs, rocks, log stakes...
ee ima bought to work on my beach market place :) wish me luck, ill be lurking in chat
ok it's the nova light ty
alright ty :)
@soft plaza what do you mean?
What are the best fences that match Nooks Cranny?
@heady estuary you have so much potential in your entrance try some barrles flowers cedar trees regulare trees shrubs mush lamps mush stool indoor plants i would say swirl the path a bit if you want a messy but not clutter vibe
what should i place here?
Is it just me or does yall maps look ugly but the the actual island looks fine?
@sturdy sierra I like the red imperial fence with Nooks if that fits your design idea 🙂 Corral fence is always a nice neutral choice as well
@north knoll thank you so much for the tips!
@hollow canyon copy and paste "in: island-layouts has: image map" in the search bar in discord, it will show all the maps posted in this channel so you can see them all for inspiration since you said you had no idea what to with your map
@heady estuary no problem dm if you need any ither help!!^^
@heady estuary even if you're not going for a cottagecore theme, a lot of these furniture suggestions work for natural / forest-y islands as well
@stuck trail tysm!!!!!
can someone tell me if this is a good layout
What should I put on these parts near my entrance
@heady estuary if wou want more trees near the entrance, perhaps remove some of the water features to add the trees to give it that dese forrest feel
@heady estuary imo if you can find some mushroom path sorta things it would look great!
That’s what I’m doing right now lol
?
So this display is next to my museum... What is the best way to represent fish and bugs as well? (There is a fossil and 2 art on each side)
@charred geyser Flick's bug models are really lovely! the fish models can be used as well but most of them are a little... lackluster 😂
@stuck trail I guess I will need more bug models then lmao
Any cottagecore ideas entrace i wanna keep Audi home accessible tho ^^
@charred geyser You can also use bug cages or fish tanks in the interim for a little "outdoor exhibit" feel 🙂 (like placed bugs and fish)
Does anyone have tips on how to make a circular pathing or river?
@north knoll imo some log stools and a round log table might look pretty good! Maybe add a white rose centerpiece so it matches the rest of your isle
@charred geyser cool^^
can someone tell me what to do my entrace or give me advice?
@regal spindle I would do something simple like a bench between two shrubs
anyone got a dark witchy island? I just need to see your flower arrangement
i was thinking about doing a waterfall on the right
Can someone help me decide what to put on these cliffs at my entrance
@spice raft I would use some fossils or art statues

add flowers trees
Can someone help me decide what to put on these cliffs at my entrance
@spice raft

Double water fall indeed. I though it looked nice
@spice raft yeah that will look cool
@spice raft You can put trees there with the cliff tree glitch, i dont think they patched it yet https://youtu.be/YdAzvzHgnKA
Hi, Striator back with another video on tree edging/pillars! This allows you to put a tree on the edge of a cliff or even a 1x1 pillar. Credit for this goes to HCY of hotgf, who did all of the breakthrough research on how to do this (see https://twitter.com/booscarywalla/statu...
I rather not glitch my island in case it gets fucked up in a future update
Does anyone have a space/star observatory area on their island?
@spice raft double waterfall?
@rain glen Oh wait you mean put waterfalls on the waterfalls?
yeah
Imma try that
waht else should i add to decorate my house
@half isle I have a little bench and white rose garden
Just finished the main parts of my museum~ Not sure if I love it or hate it 😭 thoughts?
@regal spindle bushes, trees, a swinging chair/bench, a table for coffee and small plants

@pale trench hmmm not sure, that was the one i was thinking of. I put fossils in front of my museums, it's basic but makes sense lol
museum*
Yea I have some T. rex skeletons I’m putting in front of my mueseum
does anyone have ideas of what i can put in the entrance of my nooks cranny?
@woven drift I put a popcorn machine, it matched rlly well 🙂
@woven drift I put bikes and scooters outside of my nooks!

@low plover you cant 😭
Show me your islands where your statues are/statue gardens
Or if you have an elegant/French/ European island theme please show photos!!
@inner lynx my entrance and art display uses statues!
BEAUTIFUL!
I’d love to see more! Everyone else plz feel free to share so we can admire your creative talent ☺️
@inner lynx sorry for terrible quality but this in front of my museum
Ahhh that’s AMAZINGGG 🎉🎉🎉
i’ve seen ppl on twitter do it was it patched 😭
@inner lynx also my museum entrance has two statues on top of waterfalls. And I don’t have a pic of it, but I also have two mystic statues in front of my museum
this is completely random but i just walked into hazels house for the first time did not expect that
How do we feel (museum will be at the end
@ebon egret maybe use customized simple panels instead of jail bars
@inner lynx pretty things walkway to my museum.
can someone tell me how to align my pathing to the stairs
@austere heath I’m moving into your island holy moly it’s amazing
@slow hatch just make your path move to the left a little
or waste 100k and two days to move ur house a pixel to the right (: house will never align i’m aware
@slow hatch it won’t be even with the stairs since our houses are uneven and the stairs are
Stairs and your house will never align
@inner lynx thank you! I feel like it's a forever work in progress.
@slow hatch if that’s your house h can’t, houses are 5 spaces doesn’t align to the inclines
so it will just stay ugly like that ? how to make it prettier at the least T__T
maybe make the path curve with decorations?
alrighty i decided the entrance is coming down..i just can't make the space behind the concert bonfire work with the waterfall mountain covering the rest of my entrance space 😦 i'm going to try something more clean and watery
You can just create your own I did a 3 space “bridge” for my museum because is the same thing it doesn’t realign @slow hatch
@ebon egret if you dont mind can i see a picture of that for inspo. just dm me ^^
@austere heath from that video, your island is beautiful! Would love to tour it another day!!
@slow hatch
@ebon egret that’s beautiful
@inner lynx thank you 🙏🏽
@slow hatch you can try to alternate 2x2 circles and 1x1 squares or custom path to gently curve towards your house from the bridge:
omg ❤️ ty!
How do you get the tiny circles I can never make them
can someone help me design my island im really not the best with ideas and decorating
Diana’s area. Done !
@inner lynx it’s custom codes
@vernal oxide what kinda desks are those
@tropic vapor den desks! Just in white and backwards
oh ok i wish they were a recipe
@slow hatch you can try to alternate 2x2 circles and 1x1 squares or custom path to gently curve towards your house from the bridge:
@plain forge wait how did you made the small ones (1x1) look like circles?
^ Not my photo, but the small circles are custom pathing @woven drift @inner lynx
Should I add something more? Especially next to the bench
can someone help me with my island plz
@west olive streetlamps?
@west olive you could do the flower garden wagon recipe! Since there’s not flowers in the area
can someone help me with my island plz
@ashen sentinel
Go by the chart and choose what you want and go from there. Craft a lot and buy furniture. It’ll all come together
LOL ILY TOOO
is it possible to use kiosk online on someone's island ? Cause my shop closed already
No only your island
i don’t think you can
haaa i guess i do that. thanks peeps ❤️ the best
@inner lynx @vernal oxide ah yeah I can do both! Thank you 😊
Hey! I have a decent area for a star gazing spot but im clueless. Any ideas?
If anyone has a cottagecore mystical or rustic island can I have a tour i need inspiration

Hey! I have a decent area for a star gazing spot but im clueless. Any ideas?
@sinful roost craft. Celeste DIYs -moon/crescent moon chair, drop star fragments everywhere. Add a telescope
@proud crow WOWWWWE I LOVE IT
@inner lynx thanks for the suggestion!
@sinful roost this was my old one
Hello! What color should I use? For a bakery and cafe. My island theme is cottege and fairy core!
I just did Lollys yard I think I like it
@lime jasper I personally used the light brown!
@sinful roost thank you!😊
@sinful roost could also lay down custom design blanket and add pillows for stargazing or bath towels to lay down and look up
Anybody got an exterior for the Able Sisters I could look at?
@inner lynx @lime jasper ty Luna and Mdizzle such a good idea ty so much!
@wraith veldt this is my Ables!
Did anyone do a train station if so can I see it?
I love all the help in this chat 💕💕💕💕💕
Im going to bed now but looking forward to helping everyone later! Night guys! I spent all day creating a castle for my house now im@tired lol
I'm between the blue or brown but I'm not sure Wich one would match
Ps anyone have a castle on their island and want to share some photos? ☺️
I'm between the blue or brown but I'm not sure Wich one would match
@lime jasper brown! I used all white on my island tho for elegant theme
@inner lynx thank you!
any suggestions?
any suggestions?
@atomic mortar mush custom design codes ! Add a parasol too and maybe more stools scattered around
for pathing?
for pathing?
@atomic mortar just scatter the code for decor not as a main path
ohh i don't have that recipe yet
I’ll give you some. I’m free tuesday I’m working all day tomorrow
@atomic mortar maybe adding some more mush lamps to give it more light !
How do I get the mushroom lamp?
@last ether it’s a fall season diy
thank you!!
Ty!
does anyone have a layout design for nook's cranny? i dont know what to do for mine :((
@inner lynx
@final anvil I did bikes outside and a little market across
zen front yard?? anyone
bouncing around present and november is a bit draining, so I'm slowly accumulating shrooms and recipes
Thank you! @vernal oxide :))
@guffy#2216 mi e is pretty simple
Damn if anyone wants to help design mine that would be awesome I've tried but no matter what it looks dumb lol
@last ether it’s honestly all trial and error. My entrance went from first to second pics. And I’m going to tear it down when I finish it lol
@woven drift OMGGGGGGGG ANAZINGGGGGGGGGGG
That's awesome (:
@last ether so as long as you like it, that’s all that matters!!
😂 design is never done
thats sadly true
Curious as to how everyone decorated their villager plots! I'm stuck on what I wanna put in front of Diana's house 😦
i put flowers because im stupid and dont know what to put
@limpid totem I just finished Diana’s yard today! I gave her a book/art store since her house is between a library and an art display area
I put so many flowers that I have too many lmao
Made an extra area to my museum~ I'm making an art class/shop to the left, I thought of an idea to display some art out front so it looks like the students are putting their artwork up for show~
@woven drift that actually looks nice and give me an idea to put floor lamps. Thanks!
some villagers yards are uhh too small for anything but flowers
@ashen sentinel @last ether I also put flowers but I wanna add some furniture LOLOL 😂
@vernal oxide YOUR SMOL BOOK STORE ART SHOP IS SO CUTE AAAAA
@limpid totem awww thank you!!! If I didn’t make a big library I probably would’ve made her front yard a little library area. So you could always do that! She is always reading and her in her glasses is too cute
i cant sleep because my island is so garbage its offensive to garbage
wha...
Impressive that you have so much furniture catalog
I don’t have anything in front of her house, but she has a beach in front of her place and i’m pretty happy with how that turned out 🙂
@last ether I always looked for or hosted cataloging parties! Super easy way to catalogue a bunch of items
Oooo how does that work?
everyones islands look better than mine theirs looks like a youtubers
how do you guys do it
I do one run for turnips a week and sometimes that's all i want to travel for
@ashen sentinel I'm sure you're island looks great 😮 DUN LIE
@last ether so you could probably ask if anyone is hosting in #cataloging and basically you could go to someone’s island. Bring 9 items that aren’t DIYs, redd items, saharah items, etc. Usually there is a big square dedicated to everyone. You’ll go to a square, drop 9 items. So you’d stand in the middle and drop all the items you brought. Go around (usually clockwise) and pick up the other 9 items someone else dropped and then drop them right back down. And go all the way around until you back to your own items. Then when you go back, you can use the ABD to purchase the items from nook shopping! Sorry the explanation is long hahaha
i have a flower addiction, but this is what i did to dobies home, it’s in a wind farm but u can’t really see rn bc it’s night and raining 😔😔
@limpid totem im not lieing do you want to come see
@ashen sentinel I gotta head off soon cause shleep, BUT IF YOU'RE AROUND ON ANOTHER DAY I SHALL COME HITHER
Island terraforming day 1 🖤
so good
Thanks
u just need mush items and it will be perfect
The Path helps a lot of ppl
@atomic mortar I used to have this type on my old island but I ain't like it
u just need mush items and it will be perfect
@ashen sentinel
I'm trying to find some that I don't have to sell an arm and a leg for
if i can get them tomorrow ill make u some
if i can get them tomorrow ill make u some
@ashen sentinel it's fine lol I like doing it myself might time travel tho-
what season can u get them in
@scarlet socket I've downloaded some like that and I end up using more game paths 😂
and how
november--fall
so 11
Yee
how do i get the diys though
i'm too cheap to pay 50 nmt for a diy recipe lmao
I don't mind time travel as I have a rule my first game play monitor it then the second one TIME is a LIE
shoot them from balloons
ok
i'm too cheap to pay 50 nmt for a DIY recipe lmao
@atomic mortar
I will only pay for most diys 1-5NMT depending how rare and cool it is
one you get from Isabel
@scarlet socket that's reasonable! I looked on Nookazon and what some ppl were asking for was way too much!
do ballons come at night?
they come all day all night
there's a nice guide pinned in #690232820630945862
daytime they come from the west shore, opposite at night
.t balloons @ashen sentinel
hello! :)
Anyone have any designs/ideas for an area with books cranny and the able sisters close together?
Does anyone have a market right by there dock? I need some inspo
My newest addition to my island! Super happy with it
@boreal isle my Ables is behind my Nooks up an incline!
I redid one of my beach areas 
Should the fences be flushed with the trees or should I have a one space gap
@earnest frost I personally prefer a gap because it makes it easier to catch bugs but that's me
@earnest frost personally I like the gap
ok. I preferred too. I noticed that beetles would spawn on theme during the bug off and that was annoying
Can Stones spawn here, or do they need more space?
Can Stones spawn here, or do they need more space?
@wanton stratus Spacing is good, love the unintended CJ photobomb
@limber ginkgo thanks
need inspo for a chinese themed area
I thought that picture had the same format 💀
I applaud those who take the time to make rock gardens cause I’m attempting it and I’m already annoyed
anyone got anything?
I've spent all day (and yesterday) getting Celeste diys not knowing I could use the same meteor shower

@jolly flicker if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: chinese” you’ll find some inspo pics
@vernal oxide tysm
Thanks so much to @north knoll and @stuck trail for the tips earlier, I used what you guys told me and now I have this!

@queen sparrow woah!! Your map looks so nice
Hey peeps, I need some furniture recommendations. I'm trying to recreate the Fruits Parlor Crown Cafe for Mira (since she's based on Sailor Venus) and I wanna know: 1) Are there any drinks aside from coconut juice, and 2) Any idea what orange chairs I can use since diner doesn't come in orange?
@lucid osprey what about the box sofas? They come in orange
@lucid osprey what about the box sofas? They come in orange
@vernal oxide I have the box sofas around the cream diner table but there are 2 regular chairs there too! I'm trying to get the details down too xD
@lucid osprey in regards to drinks there’s not any aside from coconut drinks, mugs, coffee cups and that is it I think?
idk if this is the right chat to ask but i have a small area i need filled, i have no idea what to put there😭 i already have an orchard, a picnic area, a pool area, a cafe, a diner, a dog park, gardens, amusement area, & a playground! i dont rlly want a library tho & i think a zen garden might be too small, any ideas?
Island Build Ideas @tacit notch There are a few of these on the chat, you can check it out
I'm having a lil hard time trying to link it but you can see it in pinned posts!
@lucid osprey oohhhhh. Hmm maybe the wooden chair in the cherry wood color, idk what else could fit that specific looking chair. You might be able to look through nookazon and try searching “chairs” and seeing what chairs there are and what variations they can come in
@tacit notch
@vernal oxide good idea!! Thank you for that suggestion, cherry wood is a good suggestion too. Thanks again! :))
can u make an upright heart pond? or can it only be done diagonally?
@hazy sail I’m pretty sure you can only do them diagonally
oki, thank you
I applaud those who take the time to make rock gardens cause I’m attempting it and I’m already annoyed
@vernal oxide LMAOI don't even have enough space for a rock garden anymore so I just had 3 rocks on a cliff and the other 3 are scattered in the more natural areas 👁️👄👁️
@hazy sail or unless you make it large enough like this
oof no, a 7x7 does not fit in my space 😆
@plain forge girl I watched the video and was like what do I look like putting down a 1,000 mannequins. They’ll eventually spawn in there. And oh boy was I WRONG. Now I’m just hoping I see one spawn in and I can sleep peacefully
has anyone had much luck with placing most/all villagers on the beach? Like, does it look good, or should I try for a mixture of land/sand houses?
has anyone had much luck with placing most/all villagers on the beach? Like, does it look good, or should I try for a mixture of land/sand houses?
@blazing night i’m not sure if all houses will even fit
@blazing night I only placed my villagers on the sand all at once to make room on my island to do other things. So they’ll fit technically but it more than likely won’t look good. So I’d suggest a mixture of you want some on the beach!
@vernal oxide good luck! 😭 I didn't even attempt to touch my rocks unless I needed them removed from an area I was working with until I was 90% done with my island, it made it easier for them to spawn in places I sorta wanted since I didn't have to place as many mannequins... But yeah now I have no space for those super cute circle rock gardens 
Does anyone have any ideas/inspo for Redd's beach that includes a player resident's home?? I have to redo Redd's area and find a spot for my 2nd player's house but I'm honestly stumped
well, I'm highly debating baleeting my launch day island and starting over with a 2 south river placement and just try some new things
@plain forge I purposely planned a whole little area for them. And I figured I decorated a good amount so I’d be okay OMG ONE SPAWNED AGHHHHHHHH. FINALLY
@plain forge I purposely planned a whole little area for them. And I figured I decorated a good amount so I’d be okay OMG ONE SPAWNED AGHHHHHHHH. FINALLY
@vernal oxide Omg I- My bf has a set up exactly like this and the last 2 rocks refuse to spawn there even when everything else is blocked up. It'll spawn anywhere except in the last 2 areas and nothing is blocking it at all fjsflsdfsdkjfhGood luck DD:
@lucid osprey is there a cliff south of where the rocks are? i had that problem
@lucid osprey That is literally my worst fear ever 😭
Nope, there is the museum maybe 4 or 5 blocks away but he's says it shouldn't stop them from spawning (I haven't looked into rock gardens though) but I do suspect it
I'll pass that to him but I don't think he has any of those problems. Thank you for sharing that!
@lucid osprey you could also ask in #garden-science-discussion if you or he hasn’t already!
I'm re doing my island to be more cottagey themed, anyone have advice on what bridges/inclines I should use....
suspension bridge and the brown zen bridge always look good
u just reminded me to replace one of my bridges with suspension
Holy guac some of these islands are AMAZING
im thinking of adding zen fencing on the top with some blossom lanterns on the little cliff corners
it looks great
does anyome have some ideas for me for nooks cranny and some gap fillers as i have alot of emty space
@grim spear for Nooks I put bikes and scooters outside. And a market across from it. There’s a list of general island ideas in the pinned section
Did anyone's bamboo trees stop producing shoots?
@grim spear this is my nooks
@grim spear package delivery area, small playground for Timmy and Tommy, cafe
wheres the general pinned section?
@last ether the bamboo trees will only produce 1 shoot during it's entire lifespan, if there's furniture or flowers blocking the area around it it won't produce any until you remove the items :)
Ooooo
@grim spear if you click on the top right little person looking button (if you’re on mobile) and hit “pins” it’ll have a bunch of helpful info in there!
oh wow thank you so much!!
I think it also has to be bamboo grown from a shoot, instead of stolen from a mystery island to grow extra too
It’s complete. And now I can sleep 😴 goodnight my beautiful peeps ❤️
can i get some ideas for a mini cafe
does anyone have any beach graveyard?
Anyone have "secret entrance" to Redd's inspo?
@limber ginkgo Heres the area I can probably take a video or a better picture tomorrow but I have a orchard and in the back theres a not so hidden open space from the fencing and if you squeeze in from the normal trees it leads to secret beach haha
Also the area is covered and hidden behind trees and a bamboo partitions! which is also slightly covered by a outdoor cafe? xkdjdjd
@long frost can you show more of your island please? it looks so cute 
Pretty happy with my surfer's hangout! Got any tips or ideas on how to improve it?
@winged tendon 2 words: More. Surfboards. lol
Other than that it's looking great tho!
this is my entrance at night, i think it looks great but it looks a little meh in daylight. tried making some changes and i think it looks better now? ill have to wait and see in the evening. ill post the updated one next (not looking for any feedback per say just ranting)
first the lanterns and streetlights didnt match, so i changed the streetlamps to black, but then the garden bench didnt match so i had to change that to one with a black outline
also put blue flowers because the flowers go from pink-purple so it made since next one would be blue
Hi!! @manic sigil it does look really good at night! in my opinion, and this is just a suggestion, what could be changed to make the daylight version look better are the flowers, i feel like there is a lot of different colors (especially on the right side)! maybe stick to one flower scheme you can spread around. I think keeping a blue/purple/white flower pattern around the area would look good!
hmmm
but if you need the pink on the right for the area that's there, then maybe put up a decorated cliff as a separator
@manic sigil I also prefer the orange cosmos to the blue flowers in the daylight pic!
perhaps the dark flowers are whats not making it look lively
yeah orange cosmos could "warm" it up, it depends what you're going for!
but if you need the pink on the right for the area that's there, then maybe put up a decorated cliff as a separator
@zealous cloak where would the cliff go? where the path is?
@manic sigil the cliff could go where the bushes and pink lily thing are?
im confused, you said that there are a lot of colors on the right side, but its only pink flowers
went around my island to take forced perspective shots and I stumbled upon this spot 😊
yeah you're right i don't know why i got that feeling haha, what i mean is maybe the whole thing could look different if it was the same 2 colors everywhere?
@zealous cloak im not sure if i wanna do that, with the vibe im going for i feel like i need to not restrict myself to only certain colors imo.
@visual robin I feel white and yellow would complement the statue since its blue green :))
yeah of course i get that!! or maybe you could spread the colors and mix them? OR you could definitly accentuate the differences on each side, like one is very bright and the other one is darker
but maybe keep things as they are, and close off that area with a cliff in the back to make it cosy?
Forced Wisp to be in photos of my new cemetery 👻
@river mural @zealous cloak is this better overall?
yes! your island is pretty so you shouldn't be stressing too much 
@manic sigil yeah makes it warmer!!
perhaps you could put another bug model instead of the nova light?
to add more colour
i have more nova lights spanning on both cliffs (they go further than the picture) but i could try that!
@visual robin oooh you could try green mums with orange flowers if the purple doesn’t work! ☺️
@river mural which model would you recommend?
i like symmetry so i would say another emperor butterfly ahaha
but let me have a look to see if anything else would be nice
i think maybe agrias or peacock?
i was just going to say agrias! it could work with the pink flowers on the other side
My first attempt at making an island restaurant
anyone got like a witchy spooky island 
Hi,I am trying to terraform a bit next to Marina her house. But am resteicted with the land and the river any ideas what can help?
I want to give the beach also use for her
@eternal laurel have a path from the house to the beach?
So i have two different areas: a very pink/white garden next to a very blue/grey area for my house, and i'm wondering about the "transition", where the stone fence en grey floor are. should i just extend the pink area? i tried putting blue items there, but it looks weird.. also, i don't want the view to be blocked.. any ideas?
@zealous cloak maybe a hammock with a blue and pink pattern, or a couple of those blue and pink nook miles benches
Or the pastel flower cart
@dusky solar ohh clever. i'll try that out now
Idk I personally like the gold deer in the forest
@static dirge looks great! yeah the reindeer looks a little off but otherwise its great
Thanks!
I’ll try some different things instead of the reindeer and post all the options here to help me decide 🙂
i think if you add more stuff surrounding the reindeer itll look better since now its just the reindeer by itself
Ye but not any room
oh :(
bushes/flowers in front of the deer if you can move it back?
not sure how i feel about this haha, any opinions?
@static dirge yea you're right, i'll try that!
how about the ground? should i extend the squares? or make sand / grey squares?
@river mural @zealous cloak does this look good? i also put some flowers beneath the lanterns
@manic sigil yeah i like it!!
would it look better if i put an agrias instead of the emperor? since the monarch matches the flowers on the left
Pooh yes
Evolution
Which option is best? 🙂
@static dirge i think 1st one or 3rd one
Yeah I really like the log bench for some reason
yeah i like the bench more than the mushroom, but i still like the mushroom there
I’m gonna find a new place for my reindeer’s tho 🙂
I thought the harv pizza oven would look nice there but it’s too small I think
Boi
Maybe if I moved it left a bit it’d look nicer but log bench it is!

Aaaa my island is coming along really nicely methinks
MY ISLAND IS 50% DONE NOW GOTTA DO THE OTHER HALF THEN MY ISLAND IS FULLY UPGRADED
@zealous cloak thank you for your reaction but I add that as finish when needed I am looking for ways to improve the terraforming and garden first
Can someone please ahow me some examples from houses in terraformed area's ?
@eternal laurel oh okay! well, i have terraformed stuff around my own house, you can see it a little bit in pictures i have sent above
@zealous cloak @static dirge tbh i think the emperor looks better there
@manic sigil oo yes I think I prefer this layout!
@manic sigil i love how your area is turning out! love the details
that one or this one? which model looks better on the right
i think i prefer the agrias as it matches the flowers
Marshal in boxes, not gifted, the shirt he has on is a design up in my able sisters.
@river mural and do you think the flowers beneath the lanterns look good or nah?
So I’m completely redoing my whole island! I’m struggling on what to do with my nooks cranny and able sisters. If anyone has any ideas please let me know! Feel free to dm me!!
can some share some Beach Ideas For Animal Crossing New Horizons need help. Pictures plz
@rocky tulip #villager-trade #701251557458444395
np
@static dirge @zealous cloak @river mural this is what i have so far, log area is still WIP
Ooo looking cute
Is it just me or does ''the path'' look kind of weird with autumn colors? It doesn't look natural to me at all...I tried different versions of the path but it's not working for me.
@manic sigil woww i really like it!!
@winged thicket just look at @static dirge's images! great example
does anyone have any enterances using nova lights ? dm me please!!
Yeah but it depends on the time, it looks great when the sun sets but the rest of the day it looks weird en not natural to me
@manic sigil I like your panels on the right side! I want to do something similar now!
everything looks so much better at night, ill post another video then
Hi, I noticed that there is a limit to the designs you can have. And whenever you delete one if you already use it in your land it will disappear from your land. How does people create all things with this limitation. Is there a trick I am missing ?
not really, you just gotta balance the ones you need and the ones you arent using
it looks really nice nikey!
but eventually you just run out of spaces and then it sucks :(
@Mama#3933 some of my villagers houses
ketchup looks so cute haha
@river mural thank yoouu 🥰
@manic sigil yes 😭 thank you i was hoping there might be a solution for that
Does anyone know what this person used here?
A locker and a safe?
Feedback on this area?
Maybe add more flowers
I know it needs a bit more flowers but ...anything else?
Can anyone tell me what the fence item is (where the bike is) in this photo? 🤔
@dawn cave thats harvey’s fence, which is a hacked item
Ahhh ok 👌
Does somebody have some ideas, what can I put next to my Resident Services? I literally have no ideas :c
what about a welcome center 🙂 @woven drift
Post offices are cute!
So I've never done a forced perspective before and I want to give it a try a d achieve this view? (Not the design for what's being perceived but like, the ACTUAL view) any tips or suggestions when it comes to this kind of stuff?
@dawn cave @prime harbor thank guys :D this will help me alot
@frank stump This looks so good though. Looks like a lot of custom path on the ground. I have never done so no good advice to give but I bet it takes lot of trial and error. I.e move back to the viewing spot constantly and adjust etc. Also can I know the source? Curious to see the rest of this island hahah
@inland oxide oh sure I'll dm you!
Before ➡️ after of my medieval secret beach market. Can’t believe I slept on custom paths for so long, they make a huge difference.
This looks so nice! It really looks like a black market :D
Please give me feedback on this space. I prefer simple and monotonous stuff to random stuff.
henlo friends!
do you guys have any natural (?) themed date spots on ur island?
im tryna terraform smth cute for my bf n i's anniversary soon 🥺
@limber citrus theres no trick but the only advice i can give you is that you can replace your flag design, many people dont know it but can change that slot and your flag wont affected uwu
Does annyone have a cute idea to fill op a big empty space , or museum ideas, ? I have 0 inspo rn :(
@void fiber i want to make one of those but i havent started XD
i was thinking in a heart shaped pond with a wedding bench and some little ducks with matching color flower, and maybe a picnic area next to it with some music? uwu
Hello
@violet temple for the museum maybe you can put up gigantic fossils that you’ve already found and also maybe add some flowers and decorative rocks/stones around
@oak gazelle omg that sounds so cute :(((( i made one with the outdoor picnic set but i realize you couldn't sit down near it so it didnt look as cute HAHAHA
Thats a nice idea, any creative terraforming ideas?
you could make a maze?
Thats a nice idea, any creative terraforming ideas?
@violet temple or you could make a dig site!
Question for people who do heaps of terraforming:
How do you stand the sound of the waterfalls everywhere??
I love the look of the waterfalls but they are DEAFENING, so I barely have any on my island at all because it just drowns out everything else. And I don’t want to play with no sound. 💔
Hi in ur opinion is this good
if anyone’s done a laundromat area can you show me so I have some ideas pls
is that a crossing path?
Yea
maybe some trees and flowers on their own path
Oh ok Ive got a idea
@split stratus put decorative designs on the path
Ok
@outer juniper i have some but i try to make them small or far from where you can actually walk so the sound doesnt bother me that much (although i usually play with no sound)
What color flower should i use for zucker? I dont want to repeat colors so no orange, blue, or white
I remodeled my entrance 👉👈 any constructive criticism?
@marsh heron his door is red so id say red!
Hmm your right plus his tentacles are red
@marsh heron red!
And yellow is a bit too bright for him
Ok i will do red! Thank you for your opinions!
Hey guys, any criticism so far on my layout 🙂 ?
@prime harbor i think it looks great!
@woven drift maybe you can add some more flowers in the waterfalls to add more colore ^^ and i would personally add some light (streetlams or maybe garden lanternts) for the night :0
@oak gazelle yeah i was trying to add a bunch of flowers before, but after i had already trimmed edges and made waterfalls, so i wasn’t able to put in many flowers without destroying some part i had already worked hard on. Though i will very gladly take the light idea into consideration c: thank you
@woven drift a mushroom lantern would go well with the waterfalls !
anyone have any beach wedding inspo w the wedding furniture? im thinking of using them in the garden colour...
Zucker's outside area! Any improvements or things i should add?
yeah i was thinking that too, @woven drift. I’ll probably have to buy it cause i’m trying to only tt minimally currently, but i think they’d fit perfectly honestly
Finished my garden area 
@thorny kettle This isn't mine! This is lchanchan2's beach wedding reception area~
@thorny kettle This isn't mine! This is lchanchan2's beach wedding reception area~
@abstract kelp oh i like this thx!
@thorny kettle This is another one I found! Not mine also~
ooooh
Hello! I made this and idk if it looks just like a bunch of random items in a checkboard or like an actual Giant chess (because that's what it is lol)
Also what else should I add to this... or is it good as it is?
Anyone know what i can do so that the fencing doesn't look bloody ridiculous😩😂
@oak gazelle also we should combine islands
@oak thunder you could replace every other fence with a bush
@polar bane ahh okay good idea
@polar bane OMG YES my beaches are also one color coordited uwu
My island is supposed to be black and pink but I'm bout to give up bc there are not enough black items 
Please give me feedback on the areas in my town
Please give me some feedback with a generous heart, though these may seem disgusting...
Anyone know what i can do so that the fencing doesn't look bloody ridiculous😩😂
@oak thunder mix of trees and flowers instead of hedges for the diagonal bit?
@ornate compass this looks great! you decorate well. if i would suggest anything maybe add a rug pattern under the table in your library area to break up the wooden floor (if you have extra design slots) and maybe a few scattered papers in that alleyway by the trash cans?
I made my very close RS work for my entrance!
@ornate compass this looks great! you decorate well. if i would suggest anything maybe add a rug pattern under the table in your library area to break up the wooden floor (if you have extra design slots) and maybe a few scattered papers in that alleyway by the trash cans?
@storm bluff![]()
![]()
I just finished decorating this corner around the shop. I think I did a pretty good job! 😆
https://twitter.com/i/status/1287750202896482305
@ornate compass in the restaurant is great to put some log benches (or maybe outdoor benches) in front of each stall to place extra items (i hope i am making sense but the benches are lower than the stall so it gives a nice effect uwu)
i used to hate how my resident services was literally infront of my airport but i wanna say im proud of this 😂
@grim stag ooo that looks great!!
bro i wish @grim stag
i used to hate how my resident services was literally infront of my airport but i wanna say im proud of this 😂
@grim stag this looks SO good 👏
@grim stag YO THAT'S GREAT!
:00 tysm everyone! appreciate it hehe
Besides bears, raccoons and gnomes, any suggestions on things I can put around to pretend they are residents? Trying to build an audience
need ideas!! i might make marshal and raymond share a yard, if they did, what would you think it should be?
@slate olive my first thought is a cafe where people can go to do work haha. office/cafe hybrid just like their interiors
Anyone know any good items to put in a Celeste themed area?
My island plan
ooo yea thats so true! i’ll do that! thank you so much @storm bluff
@spark imp you should definitely use celeste star items! nova lights, crescent moon chair, the moon, etc
Thanks (:
Been working on my entrance and I thought it'd be fun to make a baggage claim opening but now that it's starting to come together I'm having regrets lol
Any ideas what else to do in this area? Above it is a cemetery/orchard
@lost raft aw why do you regret it!! i think it's a super unique concept
@lost raft that's so cute though omg :(( i love it pls
@solemn river maybe a small picnic area?
@muted trellis thanks!! I already have a cute blanket pattern too
Ahhh ty! @storm bluff @void fiber
I just think that some of the homier entrances look more welcoming but they don't fit my island as well.
@kind scroll maybe you can place flower wagons or even some mush items in red to fill the spaces!
@lost raft have you tried using a different fence? it might change the whole vibe of the entrance
@storm bluff That's true, I could try that!
maybe try getting your hands on the white public benches instead of green, and changing the fence to the iron fence (blue) it would lighten up the colors and could make it feel a bit more inviting? i think the blue of the iron fence will match the blue on the simple panels
Oooooo ok, tysm!
Thank you ! I was hoping to find some patterns but nothing matches the dirt 😦
after resisting this whole time, we're downloading the path today
What does everyone think of the outside of Ables? Anything I should add or change?
awww its so cute!!!
Super cute!!
At my opinion it's perfect like this 
Remove the path under the flowers @oak thunder
@oak gazelle I love your life size chessboard! 
hi all 🙂 im wanting to make a little area using my cresent moons and nova stars, but not sure really what to do. anyone have any inspo to share?
hey! im making yards for raymond and ribbot and im having trouble of what to put in their yards, so if you have yards decorated for them please share :))
this is what I gave Raymond when I had him
ty thats really cute!
Outside of Able’s, yay or nay?
Ooh that is so nice, I honestly cant believe I didnt use the loom/sew machine like that 
@idle shadow I gave Raymond a book/art store!
hey! im making yards for raymond and ribbot and im having trouble of what to put in their yards, so if you have yards decorated for them please share :))
@idle shadow this is what I did for him :)
omg the mona lisa is perfect
Raymond's got taste 
@atomic harness this is my old area
Does the green leaf pile change color with the seasons or do I need to replace it with different leaf piles whenever the season change
Because I really like the look of it and wanna use it more
Does the green leaf pile change color with the seasons or do I need to replace it with different leaf piles whenever the season change
@torn geode Replace it each season
@atomic harness this is what I'm using
This is the entrance to my island i think it looks basic compared to everyone else any tips or does it look fine
My zen garden. I wanna make it more cottagecore to fit with the rest of the island but struggling
My entrance is very close to being done! I'm so glad I remade it the second time and ended up with this result
@spring horizon looks super cute! What are you thinking of putting on the left side?
what do you think?
@plain forge i wad planning to put a little garden with white iron garden benches and some bushes ? But i havent fully decided if i want that
I know this is a weitd question to ask but i started building a stongenge area and i forgot to safe the code for the top corners of the wooden floor, so if somebody eventually got this design code pls dm it to me😅
@small fulcrum Try #custom-design-help🎨 someone there might have the code for you!
Oh ok thx
Should I keep my “man-made” bridge or use an actual bridge?
keep!!
@limpid aspen I think keep the man made bridge!
Keep the man made bridge, it adds some charm to the area
Awesome, ty guys 🙏🏻
Should I keep my “man-made” bridge or use an actual bridge?
@limpid aspen can I just say we use most of the same QR code #goteamcottagecore 😂
Hell yeah, it’s good stuff 😂
@spring horizon that's a good idea and I think it'll fit nicely! Definitely try it out :) you can also try adding a waterfall there for more variation of heights if you don't want the whole area to be flat 
Island is still in development, but... how does it look so far?
so cool! I wish I planned it out like this before go full on crazy terraforming haha
I think the things I'm gonna have the worst time planning will be my museum, campsite, rock garden... maybe even my nook/ables area, but I have a general idea for what I wanna do with that
@fair crater i love that pathing! but maybe you should put more blue/black/white flowers instead of warm colors so it matches the path :000
Also resident services, I don't like what I've done with it so I'm probably gonna change that at some point
Island is still in development, but... how does it look so far?
@torn geode be careful, cuz maybe the paths won't be able to do the same turns as you planned...
Don't worry, the way I do things is I plan out one area at a time, and then build in my actual game. Also, the path
Path should definitely be able to make those turns 
Hey guyss can you show me what furniture are used in the Café, I really want to make one
I think the next area I'm gonna work on will be the beach next to my house - I'm thinking of scattering it with star clocks and nova lights and maybe making it my stargazing area
Put the finishing touches on my map, I used a lot of custom pathing so it doesn't look the best, and I wanted to focus more on being able to get around easily while terraforming.
@proud plume this is my cafe!
@proud plume this is what I did for marshal’s cafe: an espresso machine, cream and sugar, coffee cups and mugs, and I used mom’s tea cozy’s to spread out
@proud plume lots of people use stalls, simple panels for menus, fax machine for cash register, and any table and chair set that will fit your aesthetic or area :),
Thanks!
@muted trellis I loooove the skull pond 
hey, guys! ^o^ I made this little duck pond area for outside Goldie’s house - feedback is much appreciated! 😄
also, I’m looking to start work on a little residential area for some of my villagers, but I want it to be a bit unique - if anyone has any suggestions that would also be helpful! ^o^
bonk🧸
@plush kestrel i want that 🧸
@barren mulch do you want the residential area to be together or spread out?
@muted trellis I’m looking to put 5 houses in an area close together! the other 5 are spread throughout the island more ^o^
Any advice on islands with Resident Services extremely close to the airport? Mine is just a few squares apart.
@muted trellis I’m looking to put 5 houses in an area close together! the other 5 are spread throughout the island more ^o^
@barren mulch okay, maybe you could put them kinda going up a mountain? so like in the same area but somewhat spread out up 3 different tiers of land? 2 on bottom, 2 on the second level, 1 on top?
@barren mulch don't know how unique this is, but I haven't seen anyone do anything similar on here. I have 6 of my residents lined up down a canal district with yards that are 7x6 (I think haha it's been a while) :) map and a yard for reference
The canal tho specifically fit in my island theme, which is LA haha.
@muted trellis @plain forge ooh, I like both of those! they sound like quite dynamic layouts! ^o^ and it would definitely give me an opportunity to give my islanders bigger yards, which I really want to! XD
Well you don't really need to give them yards, you can just put them in a zone that fits their houses' aesthetics, for exemple : Erik's house is a log cabine, so you can put it in a lumberjack zone.
It makes things more fluid on your island
@crimson hull if there is enough space for you to add a cliff, you can use that feature to divert visitors to the left or right on a side path to the RS! People have done diagonal bridges as well to make the airport and RS "line up" more :) if your area is too small to do either of those, many people just make the best out of it and do a simple path to the RS since there's not too much you can do unfortunately 😔 here are some examples (pic not mine)
@plain forge Thanks for those ideas. I will have to think about it. I didn’t realize RS placement importance when I started and now I’m regretting it. But those images show that I can still make it look good. Thanks!
@crimson hull Np! Good luck 
Working on my entrance rn
It needs help
Can someone give me ideas on how to make it better?
@manic eagle Sorry for the late response it was very late me for! But I can probably do a mini tour! My beaches and houses arent finished so I hope you wont mind!
@fresh meadow I would take the top level (without the waterfall) off each side, add flowers and maybe some nova lights/star clocks. maybe add benches below where the shrubs are if possible?
Does anybody think they have any good CUSTOM designs for in front Audie’s house ? DM If so シ
Ohhhh ty for that idea it’s rlly good!!!!!!!! I will do that
@long frost I would love that so much! 🥺
@crimson hull my etrance..the airport is in the bottom right
does anyone have a mermaid cafe by the beach area?
I built a park (not done)
can anyone share their cottagecore maps? i need layout ideas
Welcome to Patty and Merengue's pastries.
I love it!
does anyone have a small rainbow flower garden ? 🥺
Any campsite inspo? Preferably anyone who has a villagers house on the campsite or close? :D (will appreciate any tho!)
Im planning to put Francine's yard here, i have no idea what to put. Any ideas?
Started decorating Fuschia and Diana’s little space, if you have any suggestions or ideas feel free to share since it’s not 100% complete yet 🙏🏻 ty https://twitter.com/Xemii13/status/1287787121407692803?s=20
@plain rain my rainbow garden is small and is split by a cliff with a walkway through it!
@plain rain this is my rainbow garden, its too big to get in one picture but here's a pretty good picture of it.
all of your guys’ looks good!!! i’m trying to make mine look pretty and natural but not too big at the same time (:
I have this saved because I love it
shows off all the colours without taking too much space
all of your guys’ looks good!!! i’m trying to make mine look pretty and natural but not too big at the same time (:
@plain rain I have mine leading up to the museum and its the focus of my flyover. ^-^
@carmine depot
@plain rain you might be able to do something like I did except cut it down to one row a color!
@muted trellis ooo that sounds pretty! mine doesn’t show on my flyover but instead my little lavender farm does! thank you guys for the ideas!!! (:
@woven drift that is literally gorgeous. Thank you so much! 
Fuschia and Diana’s space 😊 still need to add a bit more but I like it so far!
Does anyone have some cool exterior designs for the nooks. My island is cottagecore themed so i am not looking for something flashy or very modern.
What should i do for Francine's yard?
Pretty basic question: What should I do with the medium (ish) spaces on my island? I already have a library, rock garden, lavender field, fishing pond/picnic.
mind giving me a few? and then I'll DM you?
@upbeat silo there are some ideas in the pins you can also watch island tours on youtube and see what others did to fill the space?
@manic eagle
@upbeat silo excavation site, wishing well... Skywatching area maybe?
@marsh heron Maybe if you got Chrissy, you can make their houses together and make a very cute blue and pink area
anyone have like an 80s neon theme?
@upbeat silo i just made a cafe and a place for concerta
@woven drift is that the one you finished from yesterday?
@polar bane yes!!
Its looks better! Also I like the rug in the concert area
@worn pine my island isn’t cottage core but I did something basic and put bikes and scooters outside
Does anyone have fancy white grand museum inspo pictures
Does anyone have some cool exterior designs for the nooks. My island is cottagecore themed so i am not looking for something flashy or very modern.
@worn pine Here is my Nooks! It's nothing really fancy or smth like that, I just kept it a small area!
Had a few shooting stars last night and the frags looks kinda cute on my turtle beach 
so beautiful
Anyone got any inspiration for Sprocket's yard?
any ideas of what i can add here?
@vernal lagoon maybe a couple surfboards scattered ! You can also put some seaweed on the ground since it doesn’t go into tanks like everything else
@vernal oxide omg that’s so smart ty!!
@visual drum maybe a like rocket launch site?
Anyone decorates around their villagers houses?
@amber shale is there a specific villager you need inspo for?
@amber shale im decorating all my villagers rn, i have finished, zuckers, biskits, and fangs/skyes
Or were you asking for inspo
Not really! I am finishing my neighborhood area but need to start decorating and putting paths and I am blank
I kinda over use the same furniture and wish to see inspo
Oki let me take some photos for u
Why can’t I put a incline here???
@pale trench you have to get closer to the cliff
@pale trench bring the cliffs one more further to you
@amber shale I didn’t do a neighborhood style but I can show a few yards! Zucker, Raymond, Diana, and Marshal! I tried to use furniture that would go with their personality or their colors
Ok
the inclines must be built into the wall @pale trench
@vernal oxide omgggg Tysm!
@amber shale these are mine
@amber shale a lot of people like to decorate their villagers yard based on their personality or hobby. They use flowers or furniture to achieve that look. Is their a villager you might need help with?
They all look sooo awesome
I’m really dumb, I’ve built over 10 incline and I didn’t even think of that
It’s okay lol
@amber shale
Im still having trouble to find out what to do for Francine
lol
@twilit lintel I think I’ll need help down the road with a few villagers but for now I just want to do a quick draft of like decoration so it looks complete but the pic u sent is awesomeee
I think I struggle more with paths than anything else
@amber shale I usually stick with one path throughout my game for the most part. But since my villagers are scattered, they have different theme areas. So I just use paths that work best for that theme.
@long frost take your time DM me whenevr :)
@amber shale this is another island I’m working on. I haven’t finished the villagers yards except for mostly this one. This is Olaf’s restaurant
i usually use the grey arched path but i am trying to not use it for the villlagers
@amber shale this is another island I’m working on. I haven’t finished the villagers yards except for mostly this one. This is Olaf’s restaurant
@twilit lintel but this is soooo prettyyyyy whaaat omg 😭
ill show yall my neighborhood district so yall can see what im working with
once i finish putting down the houses lol
@amber shale I particularly like to give my villagers their own areas and most of them usually have jobs. I personally don’t like putting them in a neighborhood.
Fuchsia, Diana, Marshal and Beau’s yards
I need some help, what are some cute little decorations that fit a rustic/cottagecore/forest vibe? I have a lot of spaces I need to fill, I want most of the ground to be covered! I would appreciate any help :)
Last time im gonna ask since its probably getting annoying but what should i do for francine's yard?
i love ur entrance, i also have a rustic theme going on, i use lots of brown streetlamps
@marsh heron if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: francine” you can find inspo pics from what others have done
Garden bench, log bench, wild log bench, barrels, bird baths, street lamps, garden lanterns, stools, log stools, terrarium, tools
Tysm!
for deco at night and they work perfectly. stack of books, scattered papers, rocking chair, piles of leaves, random flowers, antique furniture, garden benches, barreeeeels omg they are fire
Oooo i never thought of that!
im so dumb, thanks so much @vernal oxide !
and jail bars customized to rusted
where would I get piles of leaves? no one seems to have any as I was trying to buy some last night
It’s a diy
I dont have it :(
@amber shale im a little bit late but here's how i decorated my villager yards! they're all in the same neighborhood~
Entrance almost done!
@amber shale im a little bit late but here's how i decorated my villager yards! they're all in the same neighborhood~
@storm bluff BEAUTIFUL OMG who's the yellow house of😩
@amber shale joey!! a tiny duck haha his interior is a beach~
Omg I love dobie’s house! @storm bluff
my whole island i wanted it to be yellow 😭 that house would have fit perfect
@heady estuary if you go to #diy-trade and ask for green leaf pile DIY there may be some people who are trading! Tho that recipe requires young spring bamboo so you'd have to tt to May or get someone to sell you it. I had an extra recipe but threw it out the other day :((
@worn pine I finished mine today and ended up with this
Hey everyone! I recently decided to restart my save file and this is what my island looks like so far I haven’t terraformed yet I haven’t even unlocked it yet haha but I am already thinking of how I could layout my map I would love to hear suggestions and tips:)
what do you want room for tho?
@heady estuary i fill the spaces with things like these
Oh awesome ty! I actually just bought a street organ and made some wood stakes to place around
@atomic quest what is that thing called in the bottom right picture wich is in the back
the aroma pot?
my island name is moon kitty so i want ideas that go with the name plz like i got no ideas 😭🥺
Ideas? There’s a little garden to the left 🙂
my island name is moon kitty so i want ideas that go with the name plz like i got no ideas 😭🥺
@pale acorn you can make a moon lake and make it space themed. so a lot of celeste items?
@atomic quest the thing wich is by the fossil thingi on the ground
@woven drift that is called a street organ
ohh lol yes ^
thank you soo much @atomic quest @muted trellis
@past sedge Maybe two benches facing each other, with some bushes, trees, flowers and some decor that fits
i lowkey just want to restart and do everything from scratch
I wanna throw some shrubs around in here, where would be some good spots to place them?
and here too
@woven drift i'm doing that and i'm so sad lol cus tearing all down 
@heady estuary shrubs are like flowers in that theyre very easy to dig up and bury! id say try placing them in certain spots at first and if they look weird you can easily move them around~
why do all people restart you can terrafor everything and make it fit and i know that because i also didn´t like my layout but i still made something out of it ... and i litterly at first had a urban island and now it´s a cottage natural type of island
cus im done with this island and this theme so starting anew with something else
Totally reforming your island is a LOT of work, you have to move houses endless amounts of times which costs 50k each time you move it, most times simply resetting the game is the best way to go about it
My map
yo what omgggg thats awesome
Bruh 😳
thank you it was hard i litterly had no rivers and now cliffs on my island and it was hrd but im finally happy
@woven drift some people got very unfortunate with RS placement or maybe they dont want to go through the effort of all the terraforming. I honestly have worked so hard to get DIYs and my catalog that I wouldn't restart but some people feel they need to.
@rustic gorge I think we have a very similar map! :) For suggestions, it really depends on what theme you're going for~ I have a city so the front is pretty much flat and the back strip is a natural hiking area so there's terraforming and small ponds/rivers. For now I'd say just place your houses in a place that's not in the way for when you start terraforming, and if you want a more natural landscape, you can choose to not touch the rivers or mess with them minimally since I know there are a lot of ppl who struggle with making rivers natural again after they filled it in :)
@plain forge can i see ur city
Can anyone give me inspo for a cafe pls
That was my old map urrgghh i dont want to look at it
@mortal scroll search "in:island-layouts has:image cafe" a lot of people have shared their cafe's in the past.
@tropic vapor like my map or to visit my island? I'm out all day today so I won't have WiFi on my switch but I can have you come over later tonight! Just DM me :)
@plain forge Oh rivers is a big struggler for me I definitely do want a natural feel but when I look at my map the way it is rn i just don’t see how I could place things around
@plain forge u could just send pics but i can your too cuz why not
@plain forge u could just send pics but i can your too cuz why not
@tropic vapor what?
has:image cafe
@mortal scroll you have to type in it the search bar at the top
u could send pics of ur city
decorating aint my thing LMAO
@mortal scroll click the magnify glass (if you're using mobile)
Ohhhhh ok
I’m re-doing my island for a third/fourth time and I went back to the feel of my original island aka boring and functional but to make it interesting I’m putting giant teddy bears everywhere
I've sent a few pics throughout so if you search me up using the discord search you should find some @tropic vapor
I’m just a little sad because I got rid of the original cliffs and rivers and I regret that
My island is too big to send all the pics all at once lmao
Send what you want help with @plain forge
Can anyone give me inspo for a cafe pls
@mortal scroll marshal owns the cafe on my island. Second picture on the right
@mortal scroll this was my café on my old save
May I See inspiration for an Island park?
@woven drift ? I don't need help with anything someone just asked if I could send pics of my island for them to see lol
@past sedge i did that too but i kind of regreded it at first but once i started building it was fun... idk but i think terraformng is fun
Then you might need to make a collage @plain forge
i want a to start buliding up my island but idk what to do ;-;
@woven drift I can’t terraform for the life of me so now everything is just flat or square 😔
@minor jay what’s your theme?
i want a to start buliding up my island but idk what to do ;-;
@minor jay start at your entrance
@minor jay start at the enterece ... i started from the back and i regred that
Thats fine @past sedge make it look like its on purpose
@woven drift @plain forge already explained to the person who asked that they can look up her discord through this chat to see the pics she posted since she isn’t home to give a tour
@twilit lintel idk but im thinking like a old town lol
@minor jay maybe start at the entrance and work your way to the RS to figure a path
Like I've said I've sent pics on here before already and I don't particularly take pics of every single area in my island so if the person wanted to see my island they can search up previous pics I've sent or come visit later. ☺️
I’m horrible at decorating. Would anyone wanna help me decorate my island and give me ideas? I’ll pay in NMT lmao
sturdy sewing box is my new obsession
can pass the thread rolls as sushi rolls lol
@marsh ferry only you would be able to decorate your island, but if you would like you could always posts pics here of a certain area and everyone is super helpful on giving advice!
Looking for islands to tour!
Hello! I’m looking for really cool/unique islands I can showcase on my YouTube channel ☺️ if you’re interested in a video tour please message me!!
Anyone have any ideas /inspo for Merengues house? 🥺
Finished finished my entrance lol
What flowers could I plant there in the top right corners next to the lilly of the valley? I hope u know what i mean
@static frost I gave her a bakery!
@static frost she owns a diner on my island. FYI, all my islanders are scattered. So they have their own areas
@rustic gorge ooh yeah, the rivers in game do take up a large space 😔 best advice I can give is to practice making smaller rivers on the side first and see how well you like them before going in to fill up the natural ones! :)
@leaden kite you might find some open islands on #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales
Anyone have any ideas /inspo for Merengues house? 🥺
@static frost I would make her a bakery with pink and white theme like her but I would avoid rlly bright pink colors maybe a subtle pink haha
Melba’s house, it still needs a little work
Thank you guys!!! 😍
@white heath Yiu should add some flowers inside!
Anyone have ideas for chedder's house??
@woven drift lol give him a cheese stall using custom hats
What fence would look good with the dark wood path?
Country
What is this fence called?
@woven drift lol I don’t know what cheddar looks like or what their personality is. But that’s what came to my head haha
@mortal scroll lattice fence
What flowers could I plant there in the top right corners next to the lilly of the valley? I hope u know what i mean
White roses?
@twilit lintel thats honestly what I was thinking too lol all I can think of is cheese trays
@woven drift lol I would do it. It’s different honestly 🤷🏻♀️
Do you guys like my little ice cream shop???
Cute
@river cypress wowwowwowww
Looks more like a porch than a yard, still love it though
My new map!
I finished my little garden area 
I need some entrance inspirations
Black flower courch blue print
My new map!
@boreal burrow that looks insane! do you do tours? :0
Need some inspo on some entrance layouts anyone willing to help?
Anyone have very small entrance inspo?
@atomic quest After its decorated i'd be down to! Right now it's mannequin hell haha
Anymore ideas for my carnival ?
How does it look 0.0 my house entrance and private pool
This is my entrance 🙂
@fallen oasis my entrance
@slow hatch looks super good! Glad you took the advice for the circle paths :)
@rustic elk @cedar acorn I just posted mine^ but you can also use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: entrance” to see what others have posted!
@plain forge oh youre here ❤️ Thank you thank you for the advice. i love it! 😄
Idk what to do with this area, I dont even know if the wedding stuff can fit without it being cluttered
@slow hatch yesss!! It came out really well!!
@polar bane you could use one of the ideas listed here if it doesn’t fit
@rustic elk my entrance ☺️
@rustic elk my entrance.
question about fountain, do they just spurt periodically or is there a way to do it manually
It does it on every hour
@atomic quest they spurt when an hour goes by
waw
Yeah, I only just found out it will spurt up really high at the start of every hour! ;---;
ic, i wanted to take pic when it does that but i stopped waiting after 10 mins lol
good to know
@atomic quest same, I chanced upon it when I ran thru my entrance and the bell for 7 am went off 😂
super good timing lol
Any diagonal bridges with a diagonal path?
I got it arranged a bit better, but what should I do with this sandy area?
I got my second rock today 🙌🏽. Plus I made this little section in an unused site.
@polar bane the ceremony area so maybe a music stand or a podium or a table where they sign their certificates, the bride and groom
Ooh that's a good idea
anyone have an island inspired by spirited away? i would love to see some inspo!
What should I add to my entrence
If you gonna do the Celeste stuff you need nova lights
@plucky helm maybe you could add a flower garden wagon on each side and some nova lights!
Ok tyyy
Also Ice furniture fits nice with Celeste diys
Anyone know wha I should put in these two sections?
@plucky helm oh! And you could also use star clocks and turn them around to hide the clock part. So it looks like a smaller nova light!
@rustic elk you can put either two statues or two fossils!
@rancid furnace i would go with the hedge fence~
@plucky helm oh! And you could also use star clocks and turn them around to hide the clock part. So it looks like a smaller nova light!
@vernal oxide
Ohh that's so smart tyyy
Ooo statues!! I forgot all about those thank you ❤️
What fence do y’all think would look best with Judys house ?
@rancid furnace fencing depends a lot on your theme and what you are doing in that area. I use one fencing throughout my neighborhood since it gives it a more uniform look.
@plucky helm what about replacing the fountain with a 3x3 piece of land with rounded corners with four little cascades and the moon floating in the middle of it?
Im npt sure what else's to do with this part sould there be anther pagoda or no
need ideas for a super small entrance. i rly have one square between airport and RS, if that
@rustic elk adding fossils always makes the museum pop
@plucky helm what about replacing the fountain with a 3x3 piece of land with rounded corners with four little cascades and the moon floating in the middle of it?
@safe basalt
Ima try that
I don't even have enough space for a rock garden anymore so I just had 3 rocks on a cliff and the other 3 are scattered in the more natural areas 👁️👄👁️
