yes.
@royal shard I put some instruments in front of RS because the villagers are cute when they sing and play
@dawn marsh
what’d you recommend for Pietro’s garden? like which flowers?
Ouaaaah thanks @vernal oxide !
I was thinking abt red, blue, pink roses!
@junior dome multicolor flowers...like one of each kind or something like that
yes!
@royal shard this is my music area beside resident services - hope this helps a little (apologies it’s so dark)!!
@woven dew this is from @twilit lintel !
@vernal oxide aw I never thought of using the Australopith like that - super cool!
@muted trellis I did it
It doesn’t leave much room for any natural paths like I planned before but maybe there’s a workaround?
This is what I mean by natural paths
It really sucks having a resident service building that’s so close
It really sucks having a resident service building that’s so close
@hollow viper
same, I hate it :((
yea, i think it leaves more room from the airport to it to make the path more natural but the other side is a bit tight. based on the second picture there is a bit of a curve up to RS. (I understand, mine is close too)
If I mess up while terraforming can I automatically reset everything or do I have to redo it all manually?
I think it will give you more space to have a straight on bridge coming out from the airport. you will just have to terraform around it and see what you can do? @hollow viper
@balmy jacinth manually you’d have to change everything
@vernal oxide ok thanks
@hollow viper yep. like that. just terraform around it and give the cliffs a curve.
I tried it before, I wanted to make a large opening to see resident services so it wouldn’t block the villagers, especially with the trees I was planning on adding @muted trellis
I came here to ask if there was a nice way to make the curve look nice. This looks a bit weird
This is what i did to my cliffs leading up to RS. it doesnt block the villagers.
Proud of my crater lake I terraformed this week 😄 I love visiting it at night. Tags: terraforming, basin, mountain, pond, island, hyacinth lamp, peaceful, calming
I may be able to do that, but since my airport is 12 blocks away from RS it may be hard
r thise glowing hyacinths??^
Heyy guys, does anyone have tangy on their island? I'd love to get some inspo on how to decorate her's
so the cliff started wide up front and opened up more as i got closer. that may work better? @hollow viper
@rugged tiger it’s a diy 🙂
r thise glowing hyacinths??^
@rugged tiger They're call "hyacinth lamp." It's a DIY, and I don't mind making them for you if you bring me the materials!
This is where I put my house and ik it’s not decorated rlly or anything yet but I was really proud
@rugged tiger They're call "hyacinth lamp." It's a DIY, and I don't mind making them for you if you bring me the materials!
@lime vortex oooo currently on another project rn on my island but i’d love to do that some day!
I may be able to do that, but since my airport is 12 blocks away from RS it may be hard
@hollow viper mine is only 11 away, its a struggle but keep messing around with it until you can figure it out. ^-^ good luck!
Does anyone have any advice on how to make this museum entrance look nicer? I’m thinking about switching the benches but idk, it doesn’t look right to me
maybe more of the stone path?
Thank you
@muted trellis
maybe add more flowers behind benches
my new plaza area i recently built https://youtu.be/2DGXMsmUiMw

Have an island you want me to tour? - Comment down below, a...
@tacit yarrow maybe try some iron garden benches?
I made myself sick with my own fairy forest....😫 I had some different type of radios hidden behind trees playing the same song so... it sounds really freaky when walking through it
what do you think of what i have so far?
tags: cottagecore entrance, nooks cranny, able sister shop
my island is a major wip
the video is what's mainly done
@dusk cove that’s stunning! everything flows really well :))
Does anyone have an antiques shop on their island?
Which one for fairycore?
Right
@dapper thicket right
yeah i think the right too
Which one for fairycore?
@dapper thicket whichever one you like more. i think the right looks better though.
I like the right much better
Okay, thank y’all 😊
kitt loves the beach so i brought it to her home!
how do y’all even post videos directly here lmao🥺 here’s a walk through my mountaintop fairy garden!! I used different types of speakers to give a strange atmosphere; can’t wait to finish this area in Autumn!!
https://twitter.com/mikittymii/status/1288945107073294337
@uncut radish you can screen record your videos, crop and clip it!
omg how do u screen record?
@uncut radish i posted mine on facebook and then downloaded the video
@woven drift I have an iPhone so that’s the only way I know how to do it 👀
@bronze tangle i like all the different colors of flowers and fruit you have 😮 i'd replace the floor lights with benches and garden lanterns/street lights so it doesn't look like you have so much open space between them!
hold down the screenshot button @woven drift
I gotta find a way to download from twitter to my iPhone somehow LMAO
@dusk cove ty!
@uncut radish as long as you post it to twitter you can screen record the video to your phone since you have an iPhone. And then you can crop it from your camera app
I'm not sure which path to use. The first one I have brick under, and the second one I have sand under. I thought th sand would bring out the color more, but if I want to use sand ill have to erase all the brick and replace it with sand which would take forever.
da house for now
@uncut radish it’s how I did the video for my entrance
@willow elm i like the sand one better if you decide to do that good luckkk
does anyone have like a marketplace type area with the nooks cranny and able sisters?
oooh
@woven drift 
@frigid otter I do. It’s small and I don’t entirely like it lol but maybe it’ll give inspo!
thank you!!
@frigid otter I turned my nooks into a gas station with area to work on cars
i’m thinking of putting my campsite in that empty space on top, should i?
Idk, there isn’t that much room
@frigid otter are you planning on putting any trees/natural decoration around the campsite? If you are, I'd suggest to have the campsite separate from the residential area :)
i had my campsite as part of my neighborhood when i first started terraforming, i really liked it there! it felt cozy and like they were actually visiting my villagers instead of just sitting around in a remote part of the island
i’ll try it and if not i’ll just move it
any1 have a dream code? pls dm me
@brisk maple #dream-addresses🌜
Hello!! My island is a mainly natural woodland any suggestions on what to do with my beach? Any good items or designs. All suggestions appreciated
@plain forge ohh, thanks!!
Does anyone have inspo for a train station and cities in the distance with a bridge in front? I want to build this but i'm having trouble on where to start
Tiki beach with lots of wooden benches and bonfires!!!
Need some major help. As you can see my resident services and airport are very close to one another. How can I have a beautiful entrance? 😩

@lone raptor I'd maybe do an abandoned beach vibe on one of them~ weeds, broken planks custom design, wild log benches :)
Anyone with a really good feudal era japanese entrance I can get inspo from?? Or is it all cottagecore right now????

@proven kayak lots of people with close RS use cliffs to either completely or partially block the view of the RS and use it to guide visitors along a path to a side entrance. Many use diagonal bridges along with cliffs as well :) (pic not mine, but here you can see the two elements I'm talking about with a RS that is fairly close)
How do I decorate in front of nooks? It’s very bad atm
what kind of light do you think would go well in my orchard? right now im using tiki torches since i dont have mush lamps
Anyone with a really good feudal era japanese entrance I can get inspo from?? Or is it all cottagecore right now????
@median vessel I find using real life pictures of fedual era Japan to use as inspiration will lead you to good results. If you want a general idea of what to place, use the zen bridges, Sakura diy items, stalls, and paper lanterns. Here are some great examples:
@vocal pilot one thing i was thinking of doing was adding a parking lot with little tricycles:))
Oooh cute!! Imma do that!
Can anyone send me their able sisters for inspo?😀
what kind of light do you think would go well in my orchard? right now im using tiki torches since i dont have mush lamps
@icy flint lanterns maybe?more of a natural vibe
@cedar acorn if you utilize the search bar in this channel and type "in:#island-designs has:image ables" you'll be able to find some great examples!
what do you think, which flowers fit Kabuki more? Mum or Pansy? or I do him a little bamboo forest?
does anyone know what i could add right there? like idk if i wanna put flowers or something else. sorry it’s blurry
does anyone know what i could add right there? like idk if i wanna put flowers or something else. sorry it’s blurry
@woven drift maybe center the fountain on each side and spread the flowers out a bit? add seating in front of the fountains too?
hey guys!! back with some more progress on my island but i have a huge bare area that needs filling
Tangy and I had a great day 🧡🌻
@woven drift imo, I'd center the two fountains a bit more and then perhaps have two benches facing each other on either sides of the path to the RS and line the rest of the empty space in the green area with bushes and assortment of flowers :)

@plain forge Thank you!!! I will look at some real photos. I would love to do something like the second photo but my res services in in a wired place, and I don't know how to format the river to make it look natural and connect with the two natural mouths of my river but I will play around with what I find and see what I can do!! Thanks again!!!
WOW
@muted trellis the fountain is not centered cuz this is what it looks like in front of my entrance
@woven drift okay, then maybe remove the second fountain and add seating area there?
@junior dome bamboo always goes well with his house and you can try placing a few flowers around the area to see if you like it and which one pairs better with bamboo :)
@muted trellis omg thats a great idea, thank you so much!! 🙂
@muted trellis omg thats a great idea, thank you so much!! 🙂
@woven drift No problem. ^-^
any ideas on which flowers i could put around the tree? (wip area, sorry everything is messy)
@plain forge thanks!! I was planning on red and white pansies, but I’ll check!
@abstract birch well, I love tullips so I’d say those, idk if they fit
aah that might actually be perfect!! tysm
finished my park! ^^
wow!
oh god how much did you pay for all of those statues
:0 you can do that?
yee well you can find what day redd comes
travel a day forward and backwards until you find the art you want
ooooh
i have this huge empty area near the beach and my dock and fish market, not sure what to do with it!!
What could I switch the holiday candle for?
a streetlight? maybe?
yee it takes a little while but i didn't want to spend any bc they're so expensive! also filled up my museum in the meantime
@eager burrow a lot of things you can put there, try looking through these pages and see if you find one you like the most: https://nookazon.com/products/furniture?tag=1x1
Does anyone have inspo for a train station and cities in the distance with a bridge in front? I want to build this but i'm having trouble on where to start
@upper egret you can try by searching up real life examples and go from there~ in game furniture that would go great with the area would be simple panels customized as skyscrapers/buildings put in the distance (horizon), throwback containers as trains or you can assemble a train using your imagination with items such as gardon wagons, and the bridge can be a land bridge using cliffs and fencing (or a real one). Heres a compilation of examples that may help you get started:

@scenic jacinth maybe a sushi bar/restaurant?
with the sand path I can put flowers?
@manic sigil Iv'e gone through nookazon like 200 times
@plain forge thank you!
I was planning on doing a Little Egypt for Diva and I want some gold roses on it, but idk if I can put flowers on the sand path
you can put flowers on sand path.
sushi bar would be fun!! ugh i have no wood for stalls
@upper egret this is andy's forced perspective one. not with a bridge in the front but yeah
I could give you some! @scenic jacinth
Eriks Pirate Cove 🦌 🏴☠️
is this good for my campsite area? i didn’t want to move it before finishing it just in case i didn’t have enough space but i think it’s good!!
any of you guys have a neighbourhood village type ? with yards
@junior dome that’s totally fine i don’t wanna take it if u need them!!! plus i might move around stuff and find out what i like
the train with the stalls is genius
@river cypress I love it sm 
any of you guys have a neighbourhood village type ? with yards
@prime harbor Yes, i have one on the left side of my island.
@scenic jacinth I have a lot lol I was flattening my island so, text me if you need it! 🙂
@prime harbor Yes, i have one on the left side of my island.
@muted trellis do you have an ingame screeshot I have the exact same thing mapped out and not sue how it will turn up in game 😮
@muted trellis what decoration you made for the one on top of Judy? (I forgot his name😳)
Lf a layout using celeste’s space themed stuff (astronaught, rocket, satellite)
@muted trellis what decoration you made for the one on top of Judy? (I forgot his name😳)
@junior dome This is what i did for Eugene.
great! planning on getting him 🙂
@muted trellis do you have an ingame screeshot I have the exact same thing mapped out and not sue how it will turn up in game 😮
@prime harbor You can kinda see the layout there a little but heres the house behind it. I gave them large yards so i had more space to decorate.
great! planning on getting him 🙂
@junior dome hes adorable. ^-^
sushi bar would be fun!! ugh i have no wood for stalls
@scenic jacinth once you get your stalls you could do something similar like mine. But I’ve also seen people use den desks as well
does this look okay?
what can i do to spice up my market entry??
ketchup did make cheif stomp around all angry right after this picture
@scenic jacinth add more items and clutter it up a bit more
is there any sort of items you recommend i’m really stumped
Just make a theme of every stall
i’m trying to make yards for all my villagers, i’ve found items for zell already so my next one is dotty, dotty is a peppy villager and she likes fashion, any idea what to put in her yard?
And then choose items based on the theme
@torn geode preferably neither. Paths are garbage combined with diagonal bridges. Unless you have a custom design in mind that makes it look decent, or you could just do a circle path at either point of the bridge
I'm using 'the path' so the dirt paths are just a placeholder
That’s pretty! @mystic minnow
@mystic minnow sorry i just do not believe that is real‼️
what can i do to spice up my market entry??
@scenic jacinth lots of markets have a table out in front displaying even more items so you can try adding more miscellaneous items!
ahh right, then I'd say it depends on your usual pathways. I always go with a chunkier diagonal because I like to keep my paths even and wide, but if you're going with thinner natural paths then the first option could work @torn geode
Tysm!🥺it’s with the pop filter
What can I put inside this circle river 🙂 or should I just delete it 
Oml you didn’t even need a preset @mystic minnow
@night fjord I'll try the first one out in-game and see what the results are
What can I put inside this circle river 🙂 or should I just delete it
@woven drift A house?
Guys this is my island planning so far but I fear that the super long paths are going to be boring ... ?
sure sure, it really does depend on surroundings. Paths aren't too hard to move around though
@woven drift A house?
@muted trellis thank youu!
long paths could look boring, make little diagonal cut throughs in between structures or themed areas!! @prime harbor
@mystic minnow that is stunning! Very pretty 
@prime harbor If you’re worried about it being boring, you could either add a mix of different items, trees and flowers to spruce it up...or make the path a little more winding
Someone have an island without rivers? I’m planning on blocking both off, i hate rivers man
I'm gonna say it - you're either cliff-obsessed or river-obsessed. It's very rare to find someone inbetween
I switch between the two honestly. I do like height on my map though
If this ain’t true ^
I'm gonna say it - you're either cliff-obsessed or river-obsessed. It's very rare to find someone inbetween
@torn geode I hate the water tool so much. i did my max. also made 2 "ponds" and one turned into a river randomly.
I'm trying to force myself to use more rivers since last time I designed my island I ended up with 8 inclines and 1 bridge
I do enjoy both tbh. I like experimenting with the water but also I love cliffs. I hate when everything is flat and one level.
Guys what should I fill up those empty spaces with? 🥺
@tired pawn
@prime harbor yeah I was gonna do those but I don’t know how to organize 😅
oh i'm super bad at organising as well x)
@prime harbor move the path lower and maybe put a sightseeing area all on the bottom of the top side. or maybe put some trees on both sides so when it turns spring(?) the cherry blossoms bloom there and look really pretty
I have come to the realisation that my path lines up with my river really wonkily
Okay low key if I wasn’t super tired and properly took the picture this would’ve been super cute
Can someone help me with my map 😅
flattening the entire island
Now that's my style
I flattened my island and it took a month because of procrastination
this is honestly the most i've been happy with my island in a while
only like 1/4th done but still
I'm not really the best person to give advice. I'd just recommend working around the areas you can't move (entrance, RS, Redd's beach) and then moving out from there
anyone have a 5 star island me and my cousin can tour
So im trying to make my Island better but i dont want to stray to much from the original land.
I did add some rivers, change the height of certain areas but i dont want to stray to much from the original parts of the island.
Can someone give me some ideas?
@modern fox I would move ables and nooks towards the front, maybe on the right side of RS (left side on the map, but right in game). you could probably even put nook at the bottom in line with the RS with ables on a cliff behind RS. from there... i dont know. it took me forever to figure out my map.
@dawn coral check #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales

@muted trellis ty!
So apparently diagonal bridges with a length of 4 don't work very well with paths... the more you know!
yeah, not a fun time
Placing the bridge itself is not a fun time :/
tell me about it
just spent half an hour putting a bridge along a cliff area, having to shave bits off of a villagers garden just to make it fit
I tried doing one for my entrance, but soon gave in to just a regular bridge... Looks better now that I look at it
I wish you were able to put tiles on diagonal floor pieces. If they put that in, diagonal bridges wouldnt look so ugly with flooring
I have a real creative block when it comes to pathways so I was wondering if this looks to grid like or boring :/
I used to have a vertical bridge entrance, but I did some planning and now I have a diagonal bridge!
And it doesn't look half bad with paths
i used to have a double diagonal bridge entry (one on each side) but hated that i couldnt get things to line up like i wanted them to since the bridges threw off every path i tried.
Yeah if I did a vertical bridge, I would walk straight in to resident services, or totally skip resident services... I chose close resident services building because I was like "oh this is gonna be convenient"... Boy was I wrong
@timid heron hahaha I’m also horrible at pathing. But I think it looks good!
I don’t know how people are so creative LOL I try and I just end up being so basic
So I have about half of my island that I have absolutely no idea what to do with, and I have moments where I just want to redo my island altogether. I think I just really need some help deciding what I should do with the empty space, or find someone who would help me just completely start fresh and get my island to a place where I don't always want to start over
I found the new theme name for my island is tropicore... Interesting...
Is tropicore popular or something??

@woven drift
I feel that
@woven drift here are some ideas! For the island and beach!
So I dont like the statue of liberys here.... Any ideas/suggestions? 🙈
Preferably something 1x1 so i dont need to terraform again
@timid heron I think it looks okay i just dont like the single pathway leading up to the house but that is completely personal ^-^'
@woven drift If you need ideas, you could always pop down a bed and go into dream islands for insporation
@woven drift personally I don’t think restarting in general is a good idea. It’s a hassle to get villagers as well as materials and DIYs again
f@cunning vigil I feel like two does not work... Mabye put a leaning tower of pisa?
can someone help me on what i should place here? that makes it more living ?
@cunning vigil you could do the beautiful statues? (Pretty sure thats the name)
@muted trellis thank you 🙂 yes it looks awkward to me too. I’m gonna try to get out of my head and think of something good lol
@vernal oxide I am just really struggling with what to do or how it already is, I wouldn't start over like that, but I would move everything out of the way and just go completely flat and try to find someone or something to help me out
@cunning vigil like mabye world history kinda vibe
@vernal oxide I am just really struggling with what to do or how it already is, I wouldn't start over like that, but I would move everything out of the way and just go completely flat and try to find someone or something to help me out
@woven drift Its a good idea to go to some other dream islands and look around. its pretty easy and free and you can search in that chat based on theme pretty easily.
@woven drift oh that I support. It does take a lot of bells but even I moved all my villagers and buildings to the beach and just changed my island and planned out buildings by marking the spaces needed with dirt
@woven drift but also if you’re going to do that I would recommend starting with the entrance and working your way out and adding things you like personally. Cause after starting that I fell in love with my island!
I just don't think I am creative enough to get it how I want it lol but I also feel bad stealing ideas from other people. I wish it was like real life and I could just pay someone to do it for me
I just don't think I am creative enough to get it how I want it lol but I also feel bad stealing ideas from other people. I wish it was like real life and I could just pay someone to do it for me
@woven drift just keep trying things and you can take ideas and make them your own. a lot of people do that.
@woven drift well the closest to it is you can pay someone to give you a map design. You can pay for one through nookazon. But you could always look at others islands or even check out 5 star island tours through YouTube and see what you might like. Theme wise or combine themes. I started watching YouTube videos and was super jealous so I redid my island a bunch of times. But it’s okay to take inspo from others!!
I definitely think constantly building everything up and redoing it is the best way to get it all together. If you have more experience with terraforming and decorating, it becomes much easier to put something together after you think of it. There isn't anything wrong with taking inspo from another island, because after a while you come up with ways to change it and to better incorporate it into your island.
what i do is pretty much what envy said i looked at youtube videos and i took screenshots of places or inspo i wanna go off of and then added my own twist and theme to it
@woven drift and tbh it’s all trial and error so don’t stress yourself too much hun!! Everything you build, or an area you create can always be changed!
also i never work on one spot at a time but that's just my thing that i do
Dream addresses have been added to the game so its even easier to go other islands for insporation if you want a close up look
@icy flint whenever I do that I end up with a full inventory of stuff that I forgot where it goes 😂
Does anyone have layouts using celeste space diys (astronaught, spaceship, satellite)
@limber ginkgo whenever i know where i wanna put a certain item i just place it to the side of that area and when im finally decorating i can remove it
Okay so after a bit of fiddling about with the paths, this is what I’ve got. I just wanna get you guys approval on the bridge placement (path leads up to my house)
can anyone help me i have this little butterfly garden sitting area i made today but im not sure what other furniture or what to place here it feels empty
gosh I really wish my interior designing skills would trickle out to my exterior LOL
@mossy wyvern you could probably add some more seating and maybe some flowers as well
@mossy wyvern Add some paths, custom patterns, flowers and trees perhaps
can anyone help me i have this little butterfly garden sitting area i made today but im not sure what other furniture or what to place here it feels empty
@mossy wyvern add some flowers and bushes, more butterflies and more seating.
oh smart! thank you guys!!!
@mossy wyvern maybe add a circle out of paths where the sitting area is. Then fill the place with trees flowers and weeds and scatter the butterflies so it looks more natural
okay!:)
@soft plaza do you happen to have a code for that path ? If you don’t mind sharing (:

Thank you
does anyone have any advice for someone who hasn't done an island layout before?
oh also does anyone have a cafe/ diner themed area i can steal some inspo from
does anyone have any advice for someone who hasn't done an island layout before?
@amber sorrel you likely won't have your final island on the first try, building up & tearing down is the best way to gain terraforming experience
@amber sorrel i used this !
@amber sorrel focus on one area at a time and don’t put so much pressure on your self to make ur island look like everyone elses. Also don’t go too crazy with terraforming and take it slow so u can see what u like and dont like
@mossy wyvern
@mossy wyvern merengue has a bakery and marshal has a cafe
@mossy wyvern
thank you all!
thank you guys so much ❤️
if anyone needs some inspiration for how to maximize space on an island with two southern facing rivers; i just leveled my island and started building it back up and this is how i dealt with mine to give me more space!
Hi I need some inspo for a moon /astrology area 🥺
@serene vortex looks great!
@serene vortex have you got a screenshot of that closed off mouth?
@versed wadi do you mean what it looks like from the ground?
Tried to terraform and decorate a pirate ship but something doesn’t feel quite right - any tips/pointers appreciated!
@soft plaza are those changing rooms in the corners?
Cute!
@polar bane Upright Lockers in white
I’m getting a second bench now but anything I can add like nice lights or something?
Ah k
@versed wadi
https://twitter.com/Astericrossing/status/1288971989718204418?s=20 bit of a WIP section of my beach 😳
@real nest not sure what the area is for but you could try street lamps or garden lamps
@versed wadi because it's too short for a bridge, i left it jumpable with that section of land in between
@vernal oxide it’s just a spot to breed flowers
but you could theoretically push it back and include a bridge instead!
What colour of lamp post?
@real nest I’m bias towards white
So no white
@real nest no no lol I was saying I personally like white
Super lost with what I should do on this part of my island. Right now its just where I put trees. But I want to figure what to fill it with, also that's my map layout and have been REALLY considering getting a new layout and starting over with decorating
Does anyone have like a european themed island for inspiration for mine?
how do u guys use drink/snack machines and phone boxes to make sitting areas
@woven drift I’ve seen people do a boardwalk along the beach
Can anyone show me the back yard/ front yard theve built for their villagers? :))
@blazing basin I've since changed it but here's how I had some of them at one point
@blazing basin here’s a couple of mine!
@blazing basin here are my villager yards!
@tropic vapor mine are next to my nooks
@tropic vapor a lot of people usually do waiting areas outside of their airport with those items or even make bus stops with those items as well
does anyone have marketplace inspo (urban preferably)
@inner wharf I don’t but you might be able to find some inspo if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: european”
thoughts on my diving suit rental? diving board at the back. Id like to get some opinions before I commit to waterscaping the other side
hi !! im planning a date for my bf and I amd i was going to terraform an area exclusively for that night but it just sounds kind of plain, i wanted to do something big to make him really happy but idk what.. pls dm me if you have any advice or can help brainstorm !! tysm <3
thoughts on my diving suit rental? diving board at the back. Id like to get some opinions before I commit to waterscaping the other side
@limber ginkgo can you actually dive off of it?
what do you guys think? What should I add?
too many flowers? there are flowers growing in the shrubs too
@limber ginkgo can you actually dive off of it?
@muted trellis
@limber ginkgo nice. o.o .. i can't dive off the back of my island when i try to.
Tried to terraform and decorate a pirate ship but something doesn’t feel quite right - any tips/pointers appreciated!
Tried to terraform and decorate a pirate ship but something doesn’t feel quite right - any tips/pointers appreciated!
@woven dew Not a ship but this is the pirate exhibit by my museum.
@limber ginkgo I have a set of jail bars behind the ship, such a cool item - love your use of fish models, life ring and the anchor statue especially!!
Does anyone have a custom map made on an island designer for inspiration?

hey i don't wanna be a bother but are the flowers on the post i sent above too many? i rlly need opinions 💕
I think it looks good!
Looks good @woeful ravine
@woeful ravine I think it looks really cute and good!
does anyone knows how Julian’s house looks inside?
Any idea what I can do with this space?
FRESH OUT OF IDEAS!!
I’ve done theater, garden, orchard, playground, arcade, mini golf, fishing tourney area, bar, gym, museum area, dig site, art exhibit, seasonal changes area
picnic area, music stage?
maybe a little café-reading thing?
My tropical island wntrance!
what are those statues?
lion dog statues, they are a DIY
thanks 🙂
lion dog statues, if u need just give me mats
oh no! i was just asking bc I have never seen them! but thanks anyways 🙂
Can you all send me some pictures of your graveyards so I can get some inspiration?
@spare scarab this is mine.
i dont do them sorry
btw I’m doing each villager a yard with flowers that match them, do you think it looks bad if I had different kind of flowers for each one? (also, I’d love to put a gold rose on everyone’s yard)
@junior dome wouldnt be bad! that's what i did with flowers for my villager yards~
Graveyard top right
nice! thanks:) @storm bluff
Wow thats awesome, i need more beach ideas, my beaches are so empty
Wip of my residential area, I’m almost done with it.
@sweet flume
its honestly been freaking me out tbh
@calm tinsel that balloon...😔
i have dead people in my beach
@vernal oxide thanks!
What balloon?
Any ideas of what to put next to the cafe ?
the grey areas are where the furniture goes 🙂
botanical garden/suburb area
@ornate jetty th> botanical garden/suburb area
@ornate jetty thanks!
Thanks for the help. Got some great ideas.
@woven drift omg it works with cellphone? I hate having to take out my laptop
@sweet flume This is what i have on my eastern beach
raymond working out next to the star lol
after getting a helpful feedback from the Dream code. XD So happy. thank you
@junior dome yess! And same
it takes so long to load 
@soft plaza i have the exact same beach layout too thats such a good idea
@woven drift will check later!
thanks 
The top of my neighboorhood is 1 block off and its kinda anoying me should I change or just leave it
Does anyone have any cute little cafe or bakery ideas they could share? Or a library/reading area?
roses or hyacinths for Judy? they are going to fit her color scheme 
@junior dome hyacinths
@dense marten what’s the sizing for the yards?
@junior dome its 8 by 8 but that is including the house it would honestly be easy itll just be a extra 100k
@woven drift cafe, library, bakery areas
Also it isn't the yrads all the houses line up but the top ones
@dense marten just move the first house to a different spot on the layout you made
@dense marten do you mind if I copy that layout? I was thinking abt a 7x6 yard but idk
@vernal oxide ok tha ks
@idle shadow I assume the houses are on a corner right? because it can alligned symmetrical?
@junior dome ye idc
@soft plaza how did u get those smaller nova light?
They are called star clocks
its just backwards so the clock face is way from the camera
Oh okie
My farm uwU
Thank you!! Went with the music stage
Cherry
Does anyone have like a european themed island for inspiration for mine? Like venice, rome, paris kinda inspiration?
Do you guys have any good island design ideas? I'm thinking about redesigning my island 😌
@slate burrow I Like the layout. Its really cute!
@opaque rover you could search in the chat by clicking the magnifying glass on the top!
which of these do you guys think I should use as inspiration for the back right of my resident services? i’ll definetely use them somewhere but i’m not sure which i’d rather put in the view of the flyover
I like the 2nd one @little hedge
I like the first one! the second could work for the museum! @little hedge
ooh true, I think that would be a super cute sitting area for the museum. ty guys for the help!!
Thoughts so far? I am going to put a Red Zen bridge diagonal over where I mapped the water (blue squares). The path leads to my resident services. I'm going for an ancient Japanese theme. Please DM me your thoughts and ideas on how to better develop this area. And how to connect everything on the left as well.
aaaah idk if i wanna change this path but if I do i'll free up 12 design slots
early work on my entrance. Finally finding something that feels right is good ;~~~)
@vernal oxide eyy, you see that little statue! Eventually going elsewhere with it but I love that dreamy in between trees look
Good inspiration for my island ty
Wow y’all like my island
Its very hot 😳
What should I put next to the moon and my entrance

I'm making yards for all of my villagers but im not sure what I should do for Marshal and Sherb any ideas?
maybe a little reading spot for Sherb?
For sherb an icecream shop or something
Aw an ice cream shop is cute I'll do that I already have a reading spot for coco
oh lol I don’t have them so idk what they like 
How can i make this area look better?
I saw a video that said sherbs name is something related to icecream but the japanese name is something about sleep and dreams
In spanish he’s called “Morfeo”, the god of dreams!
sherbet
@fringe aurora I gave marshal a cafe
^^ same marshal is a cafe kind of guy
what would y’all recommend for Vic’s yard?
ooh!! definetly pirate stuff
Yeah pirate stuff
barrels and some gold bars and a pirate chest!!
perfect! thanks :))
yes! I was thinking about a armors display but pirates fits him more!
i’d be happy to help with pirate stuff if you want! i think because i got gullivarr today i can farm him depending on what he gives me
I dont know who is Vic haha
viking bull!
@scenic jacinth I’ll text you if I need :)) thanks
of course!
@flint mason in New Horizons he has another clothes!
Oooohh I see
LF someone with empty space on ur island to hold like alot of tickets and bells (ill pay u a bunch of them but im getting a new switch and cant transfer data)
which one fits him (Vic) the most? Lillies or Cosmos
You can transfer data now in the new update can't you? Or is it just backup island save
I think it’s backup save, idk if Online haves the cloud data for NH
which one fits him (Vic) the most? Lillies or Cosmos
@junior dome
can anyone tell me pls😔
@junior dome I would use white cosmos 
thanks!
btw I’m kinda dumb but when sizing says 7x6, the 7 is the long and 6 the wide right?
correct
thanks! 
Thoughts? I know I'm annoying people right now, but my creative juices are not flowing for what I want and I get overwhelmed on how to get there. This is my entrance. I need lots of help........
maybe doing some cliffs and flowers? I think that style is called cottagecore or smt
changed it up a bit, made the diving board 1 space thick and offset it
@jade fiber yessss. And I love the path you’re using!
I am not doing cottagecore, I am doing a feudal japanese style for my island. And I find that the cottagecore is getting too over used.
ohh okay, then a little zen maybe? I really don’t know, sorry
@median vessel maybe wait until the bridge comes in and you can add trees, shrubs and some flowers. And then I like symmetry in some areas so I think adding another tall lantern would be a nice touch. And then add waterfalls to the cliffs
That's why this is so hard for me. I want to do something pretty epic. but there aren't many good Japanese entrances out there for me to get inspo off of. its all cottagecore.
@vernal oxide I will TT to get it done. and see what happens.
I was going to terraform here but Raymond sat down and started drinking oj
@median vessel well since you have a theme in mind you could even try to base it off actual pics. Did you try searching in the chat’s search bar for Japanese inspo?
@median vessel found these on Pinterest! idk if they your theme but I love the third one
@vernal oxide No, I haven't Thank you for that suggestion.
@median vessel you might also be able to find a good island tour with a Japanese theme to get the creative juices flowing!
where should I put sherb's clothesline?
@limber ginkgo maybe along the right side since it’s a silver of space !
ty!
Suggestions?
@vocal pilot maybe switch the sofa out with the pink diner chairs instead and pink mini tables to go with a color theme
Also hi I’m back for more help lol
@vernal oxide the color theme I was going with was equally pink and aqua bc the blender
Can someone help me with a nice looking way to like expand the plaza of the town outside where kk plays
@keen trout bamboo speakers
ooh?
I personally like them
Can someone help me with a nice looking way to like expand the plaza of the town outside where kk plays
@keen trout i have the codes for the resident services extension should you want
@keen trout I did this so my villagers can also sing and play. I used a custom path to extend it
notice Stitches singing and Ankha just over it
i feel like i've come here a lot asking for this but hey! new people new ideas! anyone have any ideas for a doctor who esc themed island?
hiii, im looking for ideas for a beach shop, can someone give me some advice uwu?
i could use some help i don’t hace any other place for my shops to go but here and idk what to do to make them look integrated into my RS
try searching with the magnifying glass above!
@tame owl I don’t have a pic of mine. But I did a raised looking platform custom design with a stall with a fax machine backwards to look like a register, surfboards and surf equipment to look like a surfshop!
I want to get rid of this area right here but idk what I would out here
@woven drift maybe you can make a little market street sort of thing? So stalls lining a walkway up to RS from the shops?
perfect wow thank you 😆😆
@ruby forum theres a list of ideas in the pinned section you could probably use
I just moved my museum to the second level of my island, not really worried about it being a convenience issue i think it’s working really nicely because i needed more space for yards and to move the shops on the lower level 🙂
@plush marten in my opinion you could decorate the museum in cool ways when it’s on the second floor. For instance this is what I did with mine
hiii, im looking for ideas for a beach shop, can someone give me some advice uwu?
@tame owl I use Audies house as a surf shack and she has a stand outside
@vernal oxide omg you’re island looks so pretty!! trying to decorate mine more so it doesn’t look so empty but it’s taking forever
Audie’s house was made to be on the beach omg
@plush marten haha it took forever to get like that and I’m still changing areas. And I’m actually planning to destroy it soon to do something different. But thank you!!
@junior dome yeah I didn’t put her house exactly on the beach because I have a boardwalk that she’s placed on. I didn’t want the beach to be too crowded. She has her own small beach area
oh that’s nice! and same, I don’t like the beaches to be really crowded😔
my beaches are 99% flowers
I put 3 villagers near the beach and used yard decorations to cover some beach areas lol
i stopped caring for my flower garden because i need to use my beach flowers
lmaoo, or is it maybe that I don’t know how to decorate it
btw I’m planning on doing a marketplace and I’ll have 10 stands for each villagers, what do y’all Roald could sell? gym things or something more frozen-like?
Hi, returning player here for 700+ hrs played in acnh, got tired redesigning 4x my island :(, looking for Good island designer that can help me complete my island. Can pay 800-1k nmts.
I can communicate through messenger for legit.
@junior dome maybe that protein powder item? And idk what else lol my brain is dead
hahaha I know which one you say, I’ll do the gym thing then!
@whole zenith you might have better luck finding someone on nookazon! Although they can give you a map layout. You would have to decorate yourself
@whole zenith I think Nookazon has a service for it! Haven’t tried yet, waiting for the seller to respond lol
Hey guys any good flower color patterns to use around the island?
Thank you so much for suggesting Nookazon, I didn't know they have that. I used to sell Items there xD ty ty
@vagrant iris this link should help: https://linktr.ee/wolfieofhoneywood
There’s multiple sections with a bunch of different combinations ^
Oh coooool thanks
What If I made the chairs split the carnival half blue and half pink
Should i leave the stairs in the back or should I move them to the front where I marked?
wow that looks pretty amazing
@radiant urchin I personally think the front makes more sense
the max bridges we can have is 8 right? like inclines?
yup
I know I’m so annoying 😔but, what would y’all think Diva could sell? Jewerly?
I was thinking the front would let for more flow in the front but then that means there is no way to reach the back beaches other than walking all the way around. So Im conflicted
@polar bane wait I changed mine and used brighter colors lol let me get the picture
@junior dome Jewelry could work. I get a kind of fortune teller vibe from her
@radiant urchin oohhhhhh. If the stairs in the back are to reach an area then keep@them in the back. You could do a hop thing in the front
@radiant urchin oh that fortune teller would be cool! thanks
@polar bane I didn’t place chairs but I did change the colors out now it’s brighter lol
@polar bane I did steal the balloon idea lol but you did make a good point about it being dark and I didn’t even think to add the balloons I had
What should I put as the floor?
Erhm maybe I could do like my flower garden and use multiple ruga
@polar bane Mines not a carnival buts its generally the same colourscheme of what your going for
@soft plaza I never thought of using the pastel block furniture
But the split blue and pink idea yes or no?
Also how is everybody getting such good quality pictures ;-;
I'm screenshotting the game on my pc because I use a capture card
@polar bane Link your twitter or facebook to your account. Take a screenshot on your switch and post them. Then you can download the pic
What do you think I should put on the spot to the right of the moon?
an astronaut suit I think would look cool
@radiant urchin or maybe the crewed spaceship !
oh yes!
@polar bane from there you can save the photo to your phone and upload it that way. But that also works!
Now you all know my Twitter 
Hmm both of those options could work. Ill have to play around with it and try to get the recipes from Celeste
btw what should I put as a secret area above the museum? a library for blathers or a stargazing spot?
@radiant urchin I have the crewed spaceship that I’m not using if you just want it lol
I would probably still need the recipe. My flower farm is actually mirrored so it has 2 parts, so Ill need two if I do that. Thank you for the kind offer though!
wth that’s so amazing!
@radiant urchin haha well if you change your mind lmk! It’s just sitting in storage
Thanks. Its one of the only things I've done well so far on my island ☠️
maybe she can catalog it? idk how that works
@radiant urchin lmao same but with my museum entrance😔
The spaceship is a DIY so cataloging wont work with that
my island entrance (:
dm me tips please
have a large empty space and going for a sort of fairycore vibe... any suggestions as to what i should do with it?
For my island I'm building a playground anyone know what looks like a playground fence is called?
If youre going for a more mystical forest vibe, I would add more mushrooms and flowers or you could even use small trees. You can growth cap them using a sapling to keep them in smaller states
@floral idol I think it looks good so far. I would add some shrubs for sure
does anyone have pics of island entrances with the two tier waterfall, and nova lights, and flowers, does anyone know what i mean by that? lol i tried google and couldn't find anything
@glass tendon theres a list of general ideas in the pinned section and you can customize it to fit your theme!
i hate how my island is like 1/4 down and then i walk aroud in the 3/4th and im annoyed how much work i have to do
do you guys have the code for that path that looks like wooden stairs? people mostly use them for houses
@dawn ermine the one youre thinking of is probably the iron fencing! (It’s blue)
@vernal oxide thank you!
@junior dome try asking in #custom-design-help🎨
oh thanks!
i feel ya.. i have over 800 hours and i filled like... 20% of my island
Oof
@icy flint I’m just about throwing the last like 20% of my island together and it looks horrible
So I need help, I don’t now what to put between my orchid I’m currently in the process of and my museum entrance, really I just need ideas to put in a medium area
Hello from cozy!!!
@wild yacht I don’t but you can try using the top right search bar and type in “ in:island-layouts has: image: entrance” might take some scrolling before you find exactly what you’re looking for
My first good photo :P
@sharp ridge with my orchard i did a bee farm and a smoothie bar nearby it. Maybe you could do something similar? Or even just a general farm?
the circle is pretty much what i have completed and the rest is just nothing
@vernal oxide hmm, yeah I think something like that could work, really I just didn’t know what would be a good “transition” for those 2 places
what my island looks after 800 hours in. only 20% filled in. dont be discouraged! this game is a marathon for sure
@sharp ridge here’s what I did with mine. Idk what your area looks like but maybe you can lead one area to another with a kind of path
Any tips for a nightclub on the beach?
@vernal oxide where did you put your orchard? (Back of the island etc.)
@sharp ridge maybe show a picture of the space?
@sweet flume floor lights and if it’s beach theme then maybe the palm tree lamps (diy)
Made a small video showcasing my favorite parts of my island, what do you guys think?
https://twitter.com/Xiannu6/status/1288960391624753158
Come and dream a while at the sleepy isles of Tir na Nog.
Dream Address:DA-7283-5250-3058
#ACNH #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #dreamaddress #dreamsuite https://t.co/tmNcHKYtG3
@sweet flume floor lights, palm tree lamps, shell lamps, coconut juice, or shell partition !!!
@dawn ermine mine is actually at the front in front of the part I have of RS. Let me circle it on my map. One sec
Ok
need mothra or bratty to join my island and give me the approval that its good lol
@dawn ermine that is where my orchard is. And I picked that place since I have a pool next to it and the smoothie bar is in front of the beach area
@vernal oxide oh yeah, I like the idea with bee farms and maybe a stand being there or something , thanks a lot!
Omg does anyone know if @scenic blaze is on discord rn or up. I LOVE her island from pics and absolutely NEED her dream address if she has it
@rare barn She is mostly likely on 😂 or around but she mentioned earlier she was finishing up some areas before sharing her dream address. We’re all waiting for it @scenic blaze 👀
What is a dream address?
@vernal oxide at least I’m not the only one her island looks beautiful
I'm really liking how my island is coming along any tips on what could make it better?
@woven drift it’s like island visits but the island owner doesn’t have to be online
@woven drift it’s along with the new update where you can sleep and travel to anothers’ island as long as you have a code call the dream address
@vernal oxide @rare barn thanks!!!
@rare barn trust me @scenic blaze is a goddess with a gorgeous island. Getting her approval on areas on my island makes me go 🥺
mini ice cream parlor! there used to be an incline where the clock is but I needed it elsewhere 😔
@vernal oxide could I visit your island sometime it looks so cute omg
I finally finished part of my island! Here’s the second area I’m finally happy with, I’m still waiting on more plants and log benches and I’m gonna post the picture with the completed path in a bit
Lmaooo I love y’all
:0
@lilac lintel aww thank you!! Definitely! I have a couple more areas to finish and I’ll open my island up for people to visit and probably post my dream address !
Let me know when it's open!
Let me know also pls ❤️❤️
I have like a half dozen spots to finish but I’m planning to upload my dream address after one more, I have a dream specific area I want to get done 👀
I keep watching YouTube videos on island inspo I’m honestly so lost but it’ll come to me one day of what I want to do
Mothra if you’re not busy later I need your feedback on my island (for the parts that are done at least)
I just downloaded all of my photos and they all look so good, but I dont want to spam the channel with my pics ;-;
@polar bane you could always make a collage or slowly post them here and there lol
Ooh that's sounds fun
@icy flint sure ping me! I’m making a custom design so I’m not really using discord rn but I’ll have my phone
Does anyone else have any reading area/ cafe combo areas?
thats so prettyyyy
I can’t wait to make a cool like “advertising” pic for my island
Wish I was good at graphics though I’ve seen some crazy cool ones
lol
You saying mine isnt crazy cool??
me?

lmao
It’s beautiful!!!

Okay I am officially in love with taking pictures on my island
Always have been 😎
Okay I am officially in love with taking pictures on my island
@vernal oxide most of my island is done so most of my time has been playing photographer 😂
Speaking of I'm running out of pictures of Honey ;-;
@limber ginkgo I finally made the second moon. For the longest i literally only had one for the longest 😂
I didnt know what to do with mine so I'm saving another for my stargazing area
Also I need to make some more star clocks
I got this pic of the campsite earlier 
i actually have a little kitchen and laundry area if anyone would want to see that
its not that good tho lol
Tia’s yard. Done ✅
@vernal oxide you have any extra blue balloons? Also what's your DA
Anyone have a boardwalk they would like to show?
@polar bane I don’t have an extra one. And I don’t have it yet since I’m still finishing up chunks of my island
@silver holly some of it is a bit different since these are a bit older
What bridge would look good for a white themed island? Besides stone
Stone 💀
theres the white plank bridge
White Plank incline**
omg iw as thinking inclines the whole time
lmao
I think only the inclines come in white. I'd say log bridge would fit if you're avoiding stone @wispy jay
@wispy jay Brick can work if youre going for a cream/off white
Anybody got inspo for overlooking a residential area?
Showering off after a day at the beach.
😭 it's so beautiful I love fireworks
omg are ballons a thing now? they can’t be showed as furniture right?
@junior dome yess. You can place or hold them
@junior dome they can. You can place them
oh perfect!!
also, the Tut Mask I assume can also be displayed right? I want it to decorate Diva’s house
@junior dome with every headpiece you can place so I’m going to assume yes
yay 🙂 thanks!
@silver holly different kinda boardwalk. Got a white rose theme
Made a little gnome village area 🥰
Aw that's so cute
Anyone have villagers house layout, trying to find new inspiration 🥰
@dire sapphire are you looking for a neighborhood layout? Or inspo for a specific villager?
@dire sapphire this guide should help!
not quite sure what to call this but i made it behind my entry area!
In the top left, everyone has their own themes yard, and the middle is a street. It's a residential area.
@silver holly it's been updated a bit, but you get the idea.
@static frost that is absolutely adorable. do you happen to have the link to the quilt?
Made some changes to my museum~
@tough latch tysmm!! And yesss! Here you go!! 🥰
how do you guys do your walk way?
i have such a long alternate walk way and idk what to do with it
should i add a iron stone fence on the cliffs to hid the cemetery? will add trees as well
Am I doing this wrong?
got some more wetsuits to display
Am I doing this wrong?
@last ether do without the <>'s
hm it works fine for me, i'm not on mobile atm though
Oooh
@last ether you have to add hashtag before dream-addresses
Does anyone have space themed areas
Oooh
@last ether
space between in: and dream address?
@last ether try this love “in:dream-addresses has: image: cottagecore “
Does anyone have space themed areas
@jovial fern my entrance is space-themed
@limber ginkgo woah super cool thanks!
Placed Gala's house in my garden area.
Next to my park, there’s a 5x5 plot of land. What should go there?
a fountain would look great I think
@forest canopy you could probably keep it simple or add some stalls as a little market kind of thing. Or a seating area with iron garden chairs and tables or iron garden benches
Can someone show me their carnival/fair areas
I need like a lot of inspiration since a big important section of my island is fair themed
Ooo I love that teacup idea 
anyone have any idea of what to put in ozzies yard? he’s a lazy villager, i was just planning on making it look like a basic yard with like a hose reel and lawn mower but i feel like that wouldn’t fit his personality
@neat veldt high key mine sucksssss. But maybe it’ll help!
anyone have any idea of what to put in ozzies yard? he’s a lazy villager, i was just planning on making it look like a basic yard with like a hose reel and lawn mower but i feel like that wouldn’t fit his personality
@plush marten something desert ish themed considering its an Australian referenced name
@vernal oxide 😂😂😂 I saw your earlier and screenshot it for later thx
I already have market though. Just north of it, there’s a cafe and I feel like a fountain would be too much seeing how the park is already the main centerpiece
So yeah I’ll probably do the teacup ride or sum
@plush marten Ozzie wants to be a golfer maybe you can set up golf equipment!
anyone know of any japan inspired entrances? i'm redoing my whole town to be a japanese aesthetic
@dapper thicket good idea!
Well I personally love the traditional temple entrances
Thank you envy! I'm looking for fairy stuff (:
Those would look sick at the start of an island. Maybe do two mountains at the entrance and decorate it!
im doing fairycore this time around, I went to a bunch of islands in the dream thingy and got a ton of inspiration
ahh yes everything is coming along nicely now - clicked enter by accident but finally figured out the camp situation
@last ether you can use the same thing i sent and just switch out the wording. So switch out “cottagecore” for “fairy”. Sorry for not reading into what you were looking for specifically 😅
anybody have ideas of like a market or a shopping area?
No that's okay!! Thank you envy! I'm looking for fairy stuff but since it wasn't working I'm demolishing everything lol making space 😤
Oh I know what I’ll add at the entrance! Maybe I’ll add a wind turbine or utility pole! Do y’all think it would look nice here? Or should I try getting a well
@charred lotus I made a small one in front of Nooks I low key hate
@vernal oxide it looks great!
@vernal oxide nvy try filling up the space or minimizing the amount of empty real estate to make it look more full and not bare
@dapper thicket I had two more stalls on the other side and then I truly didn’t like lmao maybe I’ll have to place them back or change the area completely. Ty love!
I like what you have going at the bottom though, lining the area with gold roses
Oh I know what I’ll add at the entrance! Maybe I’ll add a wind turbine or utility pole! Do y’all think it would look nice here? Or should I try getting a well
@forest canopy
you could put a Greek statue?
I already have one at the museum entrance And the small park has one too so I don’t wanna overdo it
Anyone have any forest entrance idea?
But great idea!
thoughts on my entrance so far 🥺
i need help! i need beach (along the shore) inspo and i need ideas for my little peninsula as well incorporating a lighthouse, not looking for any particular theme i’ll take anything!!
@flat leaf this is mine !
@dapper thicket so cute! i love the pink accents :)
@timber stump here’s some general inspo! And my peninsula
My campsite! I'm totally in love with how it looks!!
A little reading place on the peninsula
these are all cute ideas!! i have a lighthouse there already so i’m thinking something with that
my peninsula is all the way towards the back so I made a giant cliff with a thin walkway to a mermaid grotto
@dapper thicket the bottom part looks good!! I would recommend adding more to the cliffs like water falls, mush lamps, flowers, shrubs, and maybe a duck or two
ty! I just wish that waterfalls weren't so loud
should I add the palm trees to my orchard? I’m doing squares for each fruit
@timber stump on my pic where the waterfall is to my left has the lighthouse on top!
@dapper thicket same
nah, just put palms on the beach @junior dome
oh perfect
WAIT what if I make a surf rental place here?
that’d be nice!!
you could make that entire area a market and connect it to the stall you already have
@forest canopy I think that would look better at the beach. Maybe you can put a pool there? Since it’s near the park
The park is right in front of the entrance
Can you guys send me your beaches for inspo!? 💕
A peninsula Idea could be a lighthouse cafe? I had it before the revamp... A shell fountain, iron garden tables and chairs will coffee cups, and a lighthouse! I thought it was cute! Thinking of bringing it back!
@gusty shell that’s adorable!!
@ancient night and you could also use the top right search bar to look for beach inspo!
Hey does anyone have ideas for outside of Coco/Beau/Cheri's house? I'm kinda stuck
@fast carbon coco I'm stuck to... Beau could have a cute sitting area! Cheri could have a outdoor studio for singing using Cherry furniture!
@fast carbon Coco could have a pottery shop. 🙂 Beau could have a mini-forest or picnic / bbq area. When I had Cheri I gave her a dessert shop with some red / cherry furniture haha, she's a tough one
what would you y’all think Apollo and Kabuki would sell in a marketplace?
@fast carbon Coco could have a pottery shop. 🙂 Beau could have a mini-forest or picnic / bbq area. When I had Cheri I gave her a dessert shop with some red > @fast carbon coco I'm stuck to... Beau could have a cute sitting area! Cheri could have a outdoor studio for singing using Cherry furniture!
@gusty shell Tysm guys. I was thinking about maybe putting her on a beach? I still haven't figured out how I'm gonna lay out the whole island, but thank you so much
I'm putting coco on the beach, with a kinda wild/savage atmosphere (putting a bonfire, torches, wood furniture and some wild herb) @fast carbon
@junior dome Apollo would definitely have a record shop, Kabuki maybe a bonsai stand or Japanese snack cart? or even a little used book store for him.
Also came here for ideas 😃 anyone know what I could do for Whitneys yard? I been stuckk
Does anyone have a good idea of a chair/table combo with my cafe? I am stuck and not sure what to use.
nice! I was thinking for Kabuki a bamboo shop? but I’ll do that for Apollo 🙂 @stuck trail
@trail moss iron garden furniture or rattan is usually the go-to for cafe!
@trail moss I think they are called iron garden!
@trail moss the wooden garden I think it's called are very nice
@gusty shell Depends on how much space you have, but I think the white rattan set would match her house really well for a little seating area. Would be lovely paired with a small flower garden
@stuck trail yes... I love how the red roses work for her she seems boshi like that
Bratty!!!!!
so for combining the pear fruits I will put some flowers, I’m thinking of green mums, which other flowers could work?
@junior dome green mums work surprisingly well with hyacinths and lilies. maybe white or yellow varieties?
oh! that’d be so cute
thanks 🙂
What do u guys think of this idea of making a neighborhood but having one of my villagers houses on this island?
What should I do for Katts yard. Also how large should each yard be
@young birch however large you want the yard. It’s up to you on the spacing
@wispy tiger I think that would be a really cool idea! I like when there's a cluster of houses but a few random ones like on islands or the beach, etc (:
@young birch also I think I’ve seen people give Katt a yard with musical instruments
@young birch personally, my yards are big, but I'm villiger obbseesed too so don't take my word
Anyone have a thing for ideas on how to terraform an island?
@young birch Katt could have a little band with a drumset and rock guitar! She seems like a music-lover to me haha. Also there are a bunch of yard sizes in the pins, I use 9x9 personally but many people go smaller
if I’m planning on doing the orchard divided by squeares for each fruit, how big y’all recommend doing each part?
Some inspiration from my new updated and completed island
@stuck trail thanks so much for the advice and feedback!! I think I will do it!
@fast carbon this is a good link for tips and tricks! https://twitter.com/saltspringac/status/1275977670493261824
I need ideas on what to place around my nook cranny and able sisters. They are right next to each other
I’m not sure if I want a music area as I have a wedding house somewhere else and there is already music items there. Any other ideas? Also for puck I’m giving him a fishing area near the dock and it’s going to be so cute
@wind rose
here is a tiny neighborhood in my town area. (:
@wind rose
@young birch If you don't want to give her instruments, maybe she could have a little seating area with a record player and record box? Still incorporates music but is a little more subtle
You all make my island look so bad lol 😖
does anyone have a cool outdoor library area?
@stuck trail yeah I like that. Thanks
Does anyone know the dimensions for a bridge?
which fence would work on an orchard? 
@junior dome suspension or log imo
@wispy tiger there's a good bridge diagram in the pins, they're 4 wide and extend over 3-5 river tiles
@junior dome country, lattice, vertical board
@woven drift I did this!
@stuck trail thanks so much!!
@wispy tiger
I agree with @plain forge, country fences are super cute for orchards!
omg i read that completely wrong thought you said bridges lmao my b
@woven drift
Anyone have ideas on a neighborhood?
Which mermaid items and which pirate items should I add to the summer section of my history walk?
I need layout inspo!
@icy flint lmao I got really confused hahaha
@marsh heron My personal favorites for mermaid are the lamp and the screen, and I think either of those could be incorporated easily!
Ooo yea!
@marsh heron I used almost everything
I even noted down on my guide lol
Anyone have any carnival inspiration?
@junior dome you know its been a long week finally have off tomo and the weekend so much work starting to see things lmao
I was so dead set on having the elevated town square and the KH Heart, but now I don't know what to do wtih my rivers any suggestions?
@junior dome you have such nice handwriting
I love that you keep track that way, so smart!
@twilit lintel mind if I take inspo from you pirate part for Vic’s house?
Thanks for the ideas! Let me get a list of pirate items that might look good
hello! does anyone have a cottage core/natural map? One with thin rivers?? I'm struggling!
@stuck trail omg thanks! I’m going back to school in a week so I find this guide as a nice way to practice lol
if i had that nice of handwriting id be taking notes instead of using a laptop in my courses, also i've seen some people use rope fences
yeah, I preffer handwriting things, I think I have more control lmao
Hi everyone! Any ideas for a small outdoor gym area?
@junior dome you can for sure take inspo! But of course make it your own version! 😊
btw which size would y’all recommend for a square in a orchard? I’m doing squares or sections for each fruit
fireworks really make the island glow 😭
@twilit lintel it was really hard for me to copy your maze exactly but it works lmao
@topaz mountain you could try searching "in:island-layouts has:image map". You'll see a lot of maps that aren't natural, but you'll also see a lot that are 🙂 I get a lot of map inspiration from there
@icy flint haha you don’t need to copy my maze. Just make your own version! Haha
@stuck trail thanks so much!
@junior dome do you know how many trees you're doing per square? that will dictate the size imo
@twilit lintel lmao i did but ima need to change it but soon since i needa terraform around it
I was planning on doing 3 roads of trees with 3-4 maybe? and the ones in between the flowers! I don’t actually mind not harvesting the fruit
@topaz mountain my map is pretty natural! Lots of water
@tardy dove omg my irl name is Renee and I saw your name and I was like 👀
that map looks great
@icy flint haha well I’m glad you got inspired! But of course you don’t have to copy exactly. And since you’re always changing things around, it’s always a good thing to try different things
Any ideas on how to make these areas more exciting and like- pop out more? Please DM me
@junior dome I think if you're just doing 3-4 of each tree plus some flowers, 5x5 squares would serve your purpose
Tips to make Ursala's yard/salon look better?
@stuck trail noted down’ thanks
bratty once im done with this path you needa check the updates i did to my island
@cedar tusk I think maybe adding so more greenery could make it pop more such as shrubs and trees of your choice!! Looks great so far!
@woven drift putting a path or flooring of some type under the salon tables / chairs might make it feel a little more polished
@wispy tiger that's very sweet of ya! Do you mind recommending any types you think would fit a more tropical vibe?
@stuck trail Do you think a brick like the house stairs or maybe just planks of some sort?
can someone give me some default bush placements? semi-cottagecore island
what things I could put on the orchard where fruits don’t go? like I have mums cushions and that watermelon balloon, sugestions? 
This picture just looks so damn boring. Any more tips?
@woven drift I think brick would make it feel a little too "outdoors" still, I would give it some type of wood or planks. but you can play around with both and see which you prefer!
I’d add more flowers maybe?@cedar tusk
Man, I've been doing homework all day, I cant wait to shower, eat, and then relax with animal crossing for the rest of the night.
i need entrance ideas :( i want my nooks and ables to be close to the front but i only have 3 more available inclines :(
@junior dome maybe some bug models and beehives? or wooden buckets for picking fruit
@junior dome which ones?
My final exam has 55 freaking questions.
perfect! I’ll add those@bratty.alani#4253
@cedar tusk of course! I think maybe the azalea bushes since you have some pink flowers and then for trees I would do the evergreen trees with a combo of the normal hardwood! Hope this helps!
lol it didn’t tag
this is what the basic plan is but idk what to do for an entrance :( my island is cottagecore astronomy themed plz help
@hazy sail I don't have cottagecore, but I find my shrubs look pretty natural along winding paths and against cliffs
@cedar tusk there are some diys that look like cabagges but are big mums and some balloons that you can customize to make it look like a watemrelon
@sly dock holy shit that's awesome
@wispy tiger Rad! But do you have any tips on like little areas for tropical vibes? I can never seem to make those correctly
@stuck trail what do u usually pair with them?
@junior dome that sounds rad
@sly dock holy shit that's awesome
@radiant root thank you!! i really only have the moon lake done and i dont count on the paw ponds to be dofficult i just reslly need to start my entrance and idk what to do :/
Does anyone know what I should put in this space I have in my lsland
Almost done with kabuki's kabuki theatre home. Just need a few more things, some bamboo trees, and to move him in backstage!
@hazy sail with the shrubs? I scatter around some custom flower/leaf patterns on the ground or add some flowers of matching or complimenting colors to the shrub flowers
oooo, nice. okay thank you!
@indigo ravine ooooo looking good! 
Should I do genji or drago's house next?
what is that little statue in the first picture?
raccoon figure
what is that little statue in the first picture?
@junior dome no idea
lol at the same time
Hi everyone, any ideas for an outdoor gym? 😛
@cedar tusk hmm I’m not sure if I do (my island is more cottagecore lol). Maybe instead of those trees I suggested do the hand wood with some palm trees too! Also try to add stuff with bright colors! (Sorry that probably didn’t help you lmao)! Also maybe instead of the hardwood flooring you could get a cool custom path that fit your theme!! Hope this helped
Btw, those are just inspo picks. Genji is gonna have his house on the hill instead of drago. Which should I do first?
@indigo ravine probably genji then
I wanted genji on the hill cuz he needs to do some training in the mountains
Hi everyone, any ideas for an outdoor gym? 😛
@woven drift my outdoor gym has a black road floor to look like concrete
@sly dock I found this by Twitter user @sophiecrossing
which size would you recommend for my house yard? if it matters my villagers have a 7x6
Well. Imma shower and eat, and then I'll come on back for advice.
which size would you recommend for my house yard? if it matters my villagers have a 7x6
@junior dome
help this boy out please😔🙏
tbh i just used the space in front as much as i had if nothing was built in front of it
lol it’s just that I love symmetrical things so I want it to look alligned
Re-did my entry way to have a more rustic vibe 🥰🥰
@junior dome I don't have a set size for my house bc it's part of a themed area, but your yard can have as little or as much space as you want depending on what you want to place on the outside :) in this pic there's 2 dimensions you can take reference from tho
@mighty field thats literally so gorgeous
@mighty field I'm obsessed!
@junior dome do the same size or 2x the size. Whichever looks best
@plain forge thanks! I think I’ll do the 7x7 or 7x8
@muted trellis yes! I’ll do the same wide but more length 
tbh with my house i was thinking of making it into a mansion or something from the show "into the badlands" but since i have so much space i might make it into assassination classroom school vibes with a field
my princess serenity inspired castle :)
is it from an anime?
My house is in the "witch's woods" behind my villagers houses. I haven't fully finished it yet though
assassination classroom? yes i can type up a paragraph rn about it but pretty much takes place in a school in the mountains
@dapper thicket @topaz mountain thank you!!
I cant wait to get my island settled and complete so I can focus on my house
@austere owl omg sameee!!! I feel like I have neglected my house so bad just to focus on my island
Looks like pathways are glowing, honestly we need a glowing path way haha my entrance and a tiki bar i did near the airport 🙂
Does anyone have a good entrance? IDk what to do, my RS is like one step off from my airport :((
@wispy tiger I got my house to gold trophy with old theme.. have to completely redo it now that I changed themes.
@austere owl omg sameee!!! I feel like I have neglected my house so bad just to focus on my island
@wispy tiger I made my house a storage unit bro!!
i finished a few of my villagers yards today and i’m loving how wolfgangs turned out
does anyone have any inspo for skyes house i can use??
anyone know a good astronomy themed entrance? its slightly cottagecore themed but i dont want a heavy cottagecore entrance or one with waterfalls :(
@austere owl samee my storage is full and I havnt even upgraded fully @muted trellis oh my that sucks good luck to you!!
@wispy tiger thank you!
any island entrance inspo??
This is my entrance
@final anvil sorry it’s a large area so it’s hard to show the whole thing
@final anvil entrance 🌃
Are these good for the mermaid and pirate set?
thank you :))
I’ll add some barrells to the pirate
I need some ideas for villager layout, I realized I spaced mine out a little too much and I want to keep the sizes of their yards but I need some ideas for how I’m going to put them, any ideas?
i really wish they allowed diagonal stairs
@lethal gulch if you want to do a neighborhood layout you could do something like these
@marsh heron there’s pirate barrel and sideway pirate barrel. Also the pirate cannon
Oh well i have a limited area so i was limiting each set to 2 clothing, 2items
@vernal oxide Ty for the reference, it will help a lot ^^
@vernal oxide hey i saw this while i was looking up inspiration for a library and just wanted to know what you used for that window looking thing in the back😔
@marsh heron ahhh okay! Whatever works for you! The barrels and the cannons are my favorite
@frigid otter I used a simple panel with a custom design
thank you!!
@woven drift can we see more of your island it looks amazing
@brazen holly haha yes! here are some more :^)
Woahh!!
Can anyone help me out here? I need help building something behind my resident services? I’m moving campsite and museum btw
Really love how peanuts yard turned out
what is everyones opinions on giving villagers yards?
what lights can improve lighting for photos?
To me villager yards are a necessity
@young widget I give mine an area that fits them well. But I also spread them out to allow that amount of room for the idea I want to execute
@earnest tiger i try to take pictures during the day like during sunrise or sunset because its quite pretty. but if youre looking for something at night, then a lot of the illuminated items are good, street lights, floor lights. etc. basically anything that glows
ok ty
little night market
its a bit hidden away but its supposed to be like that
also i really love my little bamboo area
are the yards villager themed or just random things? if so, what random furniture do you use?
also, thoughts on pathing edges/corners?
I'm so close to finishing my kabuki stage. I just need like 2 more things!
thats why i still use the stock pavements
What flowers would go well with Kyles house?
Black Rose's or maybe green mums?
@young widget theyre themed. Let me show you some pics. Judy has a stargazing area. The crescent moon chairs match her colors of her
Here’s my map so far. I have rlly only completed the bottom left corner
@young widget Pekoe I gave her her own little bamboo area using imperial items and such. As well as based items off her exterior
@ornate jetty stock pavements?
@young widget
@young widget and last one so I’m not annoying the chat. I gave Merengue a diner since it fit her character well
does anyone have any honey/beekeeper areas?! 💛✨💫
thanks guys!
@strong wyvern I put mine with my orchard and turned the front part into a smoothie bar! Right by my beach
a honey/beekeeper area would look nice for a bear villager!
I’m redesigning my island again, twice .-.
I’m redesigning my island again, twice .-.
@scarlet edge don’t worry I’ve redone mine 4 times now
@scarlet edge done it 5 1/2 times. it gets better
I’m redesigning my island again, twice .-.
@scarlet edge me too! i redesigned my entrance yesterday for the 5 time
Thoughts so far? (Also will lay paths and more balloons)
.3.
posted this earlier today but now i have a proper screenshot: hopefully this gives people some space management inspiration if they have 2 southern river mouths!! i've seen ppl despair at having them while it's my favorite map. i leveled and terraformed a bit today and here's what i came up with
@serene vortex lol double south rivers aren’t bad lol
@serene vortex same
i don't think they are, either, but some people have posted before lamenting how little room they have when you can actually achieve some neat stuff with them ✌️ it's my favorite map style
@serene vortex yeah hahah me and @twilit lintel always try to encourage those with double south rivers that they can still do so much with their island !
aww im glad! yeah it's really no big deal.. not to mention it's perfect for having those picturesque waterfalls everyone shows off lol
@serene vortex Exactly! Hahaha double south river squadddd@twilit lintel
🥺
here's what my western river looks like lol
Ooh that looks nice
This is what I did with mine! I have one villager on either side
omg too cute! i love the celeste furniture so much they're such good decorative pieces
I dont know what to do with the top half of my island 😔
@lilac shard I gotta see Olaf's margaritaville LOL
@serene vortex i dont have a waterfall enclosing my river. i just blocked have a boardwalk over it essentially
more of a natural vibe
