my plan is actually that Muffy will live there. i have a friend who is gothy but also loves tacky things like this, so muffy living in this yard is an homage to that friend
@twilit lintel oh that sounds really cute. i keep seeing people do stuff like this and i'm totally stealing the idea at some point
@serene vortex oh mine is tropical theme resort, so i have the boardwalk on that side.
Can anyone give me tip on island designs?? Come hang out (Celeste is here too)
can anybody show me their beach area with like boardwalk stores/stalls? need some inspo ^^
@lilac shard that's super cute 🥺 have you found muffy yet?
@marsh harness give me a sec lol
i'm going to amiibo her in. after olaf moved out i went island hunting and found raymond, so i'm going to give him to a friend then amiibo in a few other people for friends before doing muffy
@marsh harness one big collage to sum it up. If you want me to get closer ups, lmk
@twilit lintel aww omg do you have a dream address yet? id love to explore
@serene vortex yeah ill dm it to you
ty!!
ooh could i have it too? i'd love to explore your island
friggen love that the dream suite is back. it makes island visits so easy for everyone involved
@lilac shard @serene vortex dont mind the missing erik house... lol. im trying to get him atm. right now, theres stitches lol
Could anyone show me pictures of their farm areas?(:
lol. i have erik right now. i think that eventually i'm going to just let him and audie go and rotate villagers in those spots
@craggy leaf here’s mine 🙂
So cute 😻 @marsh harness
@lilac shard oooh nice. im just trying to get him for free through the pokeninja channel
does anybody have any tips on a museum area? I just finished my fossil collection and that got me thinking about remodeling
@cedar latch usually people like to place a fossil up front as a display. they also like to have a big entrance with 2 stair cases.
It's not done but this is Raymond's yard so far! Thoughts?
@abstract kelp looks pretty good! what else are you planning on adding?
@abstract kelp I like it! Maybe more flowers
@craggy leaf
holy frick you didn’t have to flex that hard
O hi @versed wadi
@versed wadi love the fields 😻
@craggy leaf
@versed wadi
oh hey i saw your island tour from chase crossing before! your island is really lovely!
@craggy leaf thanks.
@craggy leaf my farm area :3
@cedar latch this is the entrance to my museum. And a pic collage of pics of my museum area. I have two stairs and more Dinos up top of the stairs!
@half isle thanks, it’s changed quite a bit since the tour
i didnt send it right so it didnt come attached as multiple ksnakdnas @craggy leaf
I remove my photos if no one reacts cause I get all embarrassed and then I think it's bad
@native moth just because no one reacts doesnt mean you need to take it down. you shouldnt base your actions if people dont give you validation up front.
@twilit lintel I'm not sure yet! Raymond's yard has been a challenge for me tbh
@native moth doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks as long as you like it!!
@abstract kelp I gave him a little book store/art store. I agree. He was difficult to do
I just get anxiety idk 😨
Guys can anyone give me some cute ideas for a villager area layout? I like having them all near eachother but I wanna use terraforming to make it look unique and I havent found any good inspo online
@vernal oxide Ooo I love that!
@cedar lake if you want to keep it to a neighborhood area this layout guide might help
Could anyone show me pictures of their farm areas?(:
@craggy leaf
@cedar lake i would suggest scattering them so you can give them themed areas to really fit their style and personality.
@abstract kelp farther behind him I also have my library so maybe adding bookshelves could be a possibility!
@cedar lake if you want to keep it to a neighborhood area this layout guide might help
@vernal oxide THANK YOU this is pef
@cedar lake i would suggest scattering them so you can give them themed areas to really fit their style and personality.
@twilit lintel Love it !! ❤️ thanks for the idea!
@cedar lake youre welcome
Hii can anyone send me pics of their island entrances for inspiration!
@surreal flare
@surreal flare mine is super simple. but for me, its not about my entrance. its about everywhere else honestly lol.
that’s “simple”?!?!?!
relative to the rest of her island!
I just restarted completely like all my save data bc I wanted a cute island so bad
I don't know if it's here but I'd like to find an exterior designer who could help me. DM me please ^^
@surreal flare redid mine yesterday! 😄 (sorry for bad quality btw)
@surreal flare mine is super extra lol
u guys r all so creative wtf wow
@surreal flare hahah my entrance used to consist of just two heart ponds lol
@woven drift wow thats super pretty
Any five star islands i can visit
@open nimbus tysm!
that’s “simple”?!?!?!
@surreal flare yeah... its quite simple compared to the rest of my island like @lilac shard said. but i dont have the heart to change it because one, i dont have any more room, and 2 i personally like it
it looks good though. i think it works for your island
I don't know if it's here but I'd like to find an exterior designer who could help me. DM me please ^^
@woven drift you can post pictures and people will give you feedback. just gotta wait till someone responds. it doesnt usually take too long.
@lilac shard thank you ❤️
I'm more looking for someone who can help me finding ideas. I don't know how to manage space properly so I was wondering if someone could help me
@woven drift looove how naturalistic your entrance is
Im planning on making a 'town tree' like in new leaf
@serene vortex tysm! i recently decided that i was going to change my theme so thats why im redoing my island! 😄
the combo of the jailbars + the wood pattern panels also looks really lovely. i like it more than just plain bars or panels
@woven drift heres a list of ideas you could add. but my advice is to start in one area and then work you way around. i would start at the entrance since most ppl have the most trouble there
the combo of the jailbars + the wood pattern panels also looks really lovely. i like it more than just plain bars or panels
@serene vortex yess i agree, when it was just the jail bars i was thinking that i was missing something, and then i found that design!
also same i demolished my island just so i could build it back up with more pleasing terraforming ✌️
but my theme is def gonna be rural town/nature
lots of bikes in places to give that sustainable energy vibe lol
my theme was fairy/cottage core but i decided that i was going to change it to, natural forest cottagecore theme, also that i was going to only use white flowers!
hi! can someone help me think of what to put on this rock?! it’s in my island shopping center....
lots of bikes in places to give that sustainable energy vibe lol
@serene vortex I put a cycle hire station next to my entrance. eco-tourism FTW
what I did with my rocks :p
i thought about just white flowers but couldn't resist how pretty stuff like hyacinths in all colors + mums looked
@versed wadi o m g im in love with this idea
the bike helmets!!! 
@twilit lintel it’s super cool!!! i just am shook that ur simple is my super complex hahahahfjrj
Beau's pet dogs :p
i thought about just white flowers but couldn't resist how pretty stuff like hyacinths in all colors + mums looked
@serene vortex yes i struggled with that decision, i was doing white, purple and blue but then i realized that i was probably going to do a lot of garden areas using other non white flowers to fill the empty spaces thats why im using only white! 😄
@woven drift i thiiink the only color i'll end up excluding are red flowers. and i'll use orange sparingly. mostly gonna use white, pink, blue, purple, and green mums
@twilit lintel it’s super cool!!! i just am shook that ur simple is my super complex hahahahfjrj
@surreal flare haha it takes trial error when it comes to terraforming and decorating. So you’ll eventually get it! Just ask for help whenever Troy need it!
my entrance
@woven drift here's what i had going before i demolished my island
theme park 😛
that looks great! im sure that your island will come out really amazing! @serene vortex
I avoided Reds until decorating Pekoe's yard
@hidden mica just came it was Amazing 😫😫
@hidden mica just came it was Amazing 😫😫
@brazen holly oh thanks!!! 🙂
Feel free to drop by DA-8937-7404-8005
@sonic turtle that looks incredible
Thank you! ✨ @versed wadi
Anyone else clueless when it comes to designing the island? Lol
@versed wadi popped over via dream and i'm loling at beardo's mega mansion
He's the boss 🙂
@versed wadi can i just say i really appreciate how easily accessible all parts of your island are. islands that are so jam packed i have a hard time exploring are always a bit tedious
Lol, I work in UX. making things easy to navigate is kinda my day-job.
My 'Town Tree"
it's definitely paid off lol
Tag: Island Entrance, Classical (?) style
My island entrance, a bit barren but I hope it’ll be helpful for people who need to see things without too much decorations on it ^^
https://streamable.com/mqb0ou
i'm making a community vegetable garden type thing and would love inspo pics like that or for farms if anyone has any!:)
@paper stag a run through of my Farm area 🙂
@versed wadi just dropped by i love ur hyacinth field
@versed wadi wait isn’t that the same island from chase’s YouTube tour?
@sonic turtle Thanks, I'm always intrigued how that area performs on other Switches, it tanks the frame rate on mine.
I finished my entrance...sort of lol. the cliff to the right is completely bare but ive done enough decorating for today
@versed wadi its smooth as butter 🥰
@tardy pebble - Yeah Chase posted a tour a few a weeks back. It's changed a little since then. The bears have taken over.
Can anyone share what their entrances and or outside their shops and homes look like
Im trying to get some inspo of what i could do
All of your towns look so pretty! I’m just now getting into the game ;-;
Outside animal homes, or player homes? You can search with keywords and has:image to return specific results for inspo 🙂
Oh wow thanks
@dapper thicket wow! that looks amazing!!
Which one do you like better. 1 gives more room for drago's area, but 2 gives more space and is better seen.
I prefer 2. Having room to get good photos on Diagonal bridges is the best 🙂
Got it. Sorry drago, the king himself has spoken
^ agreed
the paths will be different btw
After struggling all week with a woodsy music area in my entrance (super close resident services), I finally decided to hide it with trees and I think I’m finally happy! (Major WIP)
@paper stag a run through of my Farm area 🙂
@versed wadi ah this is so cute!! mine is a lot smaller than that but i really like your paths and how you've set everything out, i'm aiming for my island to look pretty similar to this i've just barely started hahah
Nearly finished my museum entrance
Please dont hate me for not googling the measurements of thr museum I hate myself too lmao
@versed wadi what do you think of my kabuki theatre for kabukis yard?
It's missing some bamboo trees and kimonos on stage (Instead of the cushion), but besides that, it's done. I put kabukis house "backstage".
I've also got k.k. jongara playing on the bamboo speakers
Looking for inspo for mushroom areas tried looking on Pinterest and can’t really find much 🍄
Anyone have south river island mini map to share? 🥺 I’m stuck with two south river
@versed wadi what do you think of my kabuki theatre for kabukis yard?
@indigo ravine That's so cool! Very orginal! Keep us posted when you finish 🙂
@willow bloom Here's mine. The bottom corners can be tricky, but stick with it!
One last question. Should I place the incline for genji's area horizontal or vertical? Vertical give better access bit horizontal adds more room for genji's mountain training area
@versed wadi omg! Seem not too bad!
Anyone got any “lounge\hang out” area ideas??
@neat gyro thats actually a good idea!
woah that looks sick!!
Thanks!
Should I place the incline for genji's area horizontal or vertical? Vertical give better access but horizontal adds more room for genji's mountain training area
facing which way horizontal? id say horizontal wouldnt look bad at all as long as you would use the space
a mountain training area sounds super cool 😄
@willow bloom here's mine
I have this area im trying to work on
With the hang out spot. Need a good idea for it
@woven drift that look good 😍😍
One problem with horizontal is that it might possibly be too close to my bridge
Heres how horizontal or vertical would look
Updated the labels as I'm sticking with this layout and villagers for a while.
@torpid cosmos lounge area
@austere heath LOVE the background!
@versed wadi i just visited ur island in a dream and i love it its so cool
Vertical would give more room for the bridge, but horizontal uses up less space
wheres the bridge if i may ask? to the left?
@stoic pawn Thank you so much 🙂
Yeah
@torpid cosmos thanks! It's next to my amphitheater and meant to be the bar/lounge connected to it.
i think horizontal would still work, it also leads nicely to the bridge imo while with vertical its kind of a sharp corner
There is also gonna be a path leading down to the beach, which will usually be the primary way people get to this area
What wall is this?
Also, should I use the red iron incline to match with the imperial aesthetic or should I use natural ramp?
@gaunt marlin cafe curtain wall
Tysm
What wall is this?
@gaunt marlin wrong channel, but Cafe Curtian Wall. You can get it from Sahara
OH i see, in that case probably use the vertical one o: if ur going for the imperial aesthetic for genji probably save up for the imperial ramp
Oh, sorry- but ty
I think I found a good spot. Lemme pay for this bridge and tt to show you
I think I found a good spot. Lemme pay for this bridge and tt to show you
@indigo ravine You can preview without comitting to the purchase to try it out 🙂
I wish they had an incline actually called "imperial staircase"
i just started to make my entrance for my harry potter island, but it just looks forest-y, i dont wanna do 9/3 4 as the entrance.
is there any items or anything i can make to make this entrance more harry potter-y?

@molten swallow you could make one of those mini train stations with the mini trains
O wait
thank you! i wass planning on doing that a bit further into my island :))
use a mailbox and scattered papers to make it look like the entrance letter!
Sorry, I didnt read that right
Aa good idea lissee!! tysm!
no worries squee : D
does anyone have any suggestions for this space out front of my shops? the space by nooks cranny is also looking kind of bare as well :( https://twitter.com/citlaliipop/status/1289095987470823426?s=19
so i have no idea what to put in this empty space in front of my shops; any suggestions? #acnh #animalcrossing https://t.co/F3AgqTATBq
@molten swallowStraight into Diagon Alley 🙂
Crap. Now I'm stuck at which incline to destroy. I forgot I already had 8😖
Wait. Nvm I figured it out. I'll make a little Canyon leading to the redd staircase
thank you so much Mcgibbon!! i love that idea!
any ideas on what to put in this area in front of resident services?
do you have any sort of island theme ur following? o:
@indigo ravine I'd pay for just one more incline. It would give my island a perfect loop
I think I'm gonna go with a natural ramp instead of the red steel ramp. Even tho it wont be the same color as the red zen bridge, I feel it will give it the natural look I want for genji's area.
Wow. For once, I'm actually starting to feel pleased with my residential homing area. Still got loads of work to do before I send out a dream code.
If I build up the cliffs around it, how would this look?
How would I make a park more cluttered
Hey can anyone help me find a good theme and color pallet for my island? Im struggling with what fence and path i wanna have a house that matches up with a song dm me if u can help im paying ❤
@woven drift Add weeds, scattered papers, stools, fruit, etc.. :))
@molten swallow would that work for a city the?
@woven drift hmm maybe not weeds, but scattered papers and dokument stacks can work!
If I build up the cliffs around it, how would this look?
@indigo ravine I build my cliffs around most of my inclines
paying... with... 1 mil bells?
would a graveyard for cherry's yard be a good idea? trying to keep my island mostly cottagecore/natural with a bit of witchyness but got no idea what to do for big sisterly villagers
star fragment trees?
arent thoes hacked..?
@woven drift they are still allowed tho
imagine hacking in animal crossing though
@stoic pawn A graveyard could look great for Cherry. I used to have one for Lucky, but he moved out and was replaced with Grizzly so I went with a more logging/lumberjack area in it's place.
its really none of your business tho
They may won in a giveaway
another angle
❤️
Time travelers👁👄👁
it does look pretty epic @crisp oasis
Are those burnt out tiki torches?
@indigo ravine there’s nothing wrong with time travelling
I rearranged some of the flowers and bushes on the miniature island, and I'm just really happy with how it turned out.
@indigo ravine there’s nothing wrong with time travelling
@woven drift ik. I do it all the time.
its an oversight in the games code idk why people concider it hacking
that looks amazing tho
@indigo ravine are you talking about the lanterns
i think theyre wedding fences not torches
OOH
I wish I can build an island but I can’t
Everyone can
I don’t have the game on iPhone and I don’t have a switch I have the stupid pocket version
It’s cold here omg
@muted marlin buy a switch then
if anyones smart enough to help me come up with a decent theme and color pallete il give... uh.. i dont have much to give but i need help ;p;
It’s expensive and up for demand
@woven drift pink, black, purple. bam, color palette.
@woven drift city themed island
idk.. i wanted like a like suburban beach town feel yknow but idk how to pull it off
@woven drift I’ll dm you
Re-did my path to resident services🥰
Ugh so better than mine, I can’t even think of and idea of how to lead to mine...from my entrance v.v spent a couple 30k to move the shops a couple of times and 3-4 houses over...
@mighty field that looks so well co-ordinated!
@versed wadi thank you!🥰
@tardy pebble I’ve moved my shops and houses sooo many times so trust me, I totally get you. I always look for inspiration on twitter and try to recreate anything I like☺️
I moved Pekoe’s house back and forth from my beach about 10 times last week until I finally got it in a position I was happy with.
What is the website I can use to design my island?
@azure peak Happy Island Designer
camp
i need some help haha. im wanting to name with island ochakai (tea party in japanese) but i want a cottagecore island, what should i name it? any ideas?
What to put here
Thoughts on my genji mountain workout area? Should I maybe move the imperial fencing to the back, or does it look good in the front?
Another angle (awww molly)
Can someone recommend me some nice flowery paths that are good with most seasons?
Well not really super flowery
Aaand, I'm all done for tonight. Phew, terraforming takes alot of work
Hi! I have an improvement question 😅
@eternal laurel what do you need help with?
Does anyone have like rivers/ponds that form an animal?
@white thistle
Started on a new entrance Asian inspired. This is my Terracotta Army! Creator Toth-Sammish
the crops arent grown yet but bunnies farm so far!
Just finished a little pool area :)
I'm currently not done with my island but I have all this space above the museum and campsite but I don't know what to do with it >~< anything will help I just need some ideas since there's not a lot of room!
I threw Audie's house on the beach anddd....
Dream code is:
DA-6113-6008-5044
(Put this here because a bot keeps deleting it in the dream code channel)
Has anyone got like a small village type vibe with their island that I can look at (dream code or actual visit)
if anyone has an urban themed area by resident services and the shops, can you show me? im redoing half my island and i would like some inspo🥺
Looking for inspo for mushroom areas can’t find much on Pinterest surprisingly
Did my entrance I know it’s nothing crazy
why do people have balloons already

why do people have balloons already :stressed: :stressed: :stressed: :stressed: :stressed:
@woven drift time travel
Does anyone have an idea for flowers, like maybe a gradient style?
@woven drift yeah time travel. Impatient people that dont enjoy the game
i mean i also time travel sometimes to move out villagers i don’t like or when i’m working on some areas of my island, but i feel bad when i time travel for some events lmao, like i didn’t time travel the 23 of july bcs the 24 was my bday and i felt bad
Rate my island entrance?
Yeah, there is nothing wrong with time travelling, for some its fun, doesnt mean youre impatient
um if ur playing the game ur kinda enjoying it 🗿 since ur not forcing urself
fr same
I’d not enjoy this game if I had to wait 20 IRL days when I move my houses back and forth from the beach.
Imagine hating on people who time travel like it’s not that deep Nintendo isn’t against it and I enjoy that game while tt 
ikr
It’s more fun to time travel tbh I’m not waiting 24 hours for a dang house to move 
i like time travelling , people can do whatever they want but i’d just not tt to events bcs id feel bad but i don’t judge people who do it
Me when I'm on August 7th bc Tammy won't move out and I've erected a trash pile in front of her house
And it isn’t really about being impatient it’s just different playing styles
I keep Tammy around as I like to think she’s Grizzly’s crazy ex
tea
I don't like being reminded of my coworker irl so I'd rather have her gone tbh
what 💀💀
i like time travelling , people can do whatever they want but i’d just not tt to events bcs id feel bad but i don’t judge people who do it
@woven drift I think I'm in a similar same boat as you, I personally like to experience things naturally first before tting to them
I just wanted the headband
bc it bounces
i just teared down my tropical entrance to make this lol. im gonna turn my tropical island into a harry potter forest thing. i tt to autumn to see how it’d look. i appreciate critism, its my first time trying the cliff-y style
its still a WIP
@molten swallow It looks amazing 
thank u so much!!
Can anyone send me a pic of their farm I need inspo
i’m kinda struggling w my map 😅 because i use a lot of custom paths, a lot of areas often appear blank on the map. any tips? should i not really care about the map?
@south pewter no, atleast for me, map doesnt matter at all. its the look of the island,
i’m kinda struggling w my map 😅 because i use a lot of custom paths, a lot of areas often appear blank on the map. any tips? should i not really care about the map?
@south pewter you could put down one of the nook paths and overlay the custom on top of it if you wanna have it show.
does anyone have any feedback for this lil area by sterling’s house? my island has a cottagecore/medieval theme going on atm
@molten swallow made me feel better haha thank you!
@clever tiger the problem is, i like using rock paths and if i put them on top of dirt for example, it just won’t have the same effect
but it’s okay i might just give up on my map tbh
I gave up on mine because its a big mess of paths
Yeah get that. Mine looks nice with stone under it but I like it better without
Another example of it at RS
this is what mine looks like and i don’t want to put dirt 😢😢
but my map looks so blankkk
Im not even that far that i cqn do that😂
@clever tiger that’s really pretty! thanks for the idea ☺️
Mine used to be blank but now it looks like this
nice! thank you!
Any blank areas are just flower hell
@clever tiger it looks good

@bronze tangle suspension
Can anyone send me a pic of their farm?
Not mine but it’s what I used for inspiration
oo i love that, gonna use it as inspiration as well
Thanks
I have this oddly shaped area right behind my town hall (where the bottom hedges are) that I wanted to turn into a seasonal park (where I can switch the items out to be themed like the current season) but its not really working the way I wanted it to and im not sure what to do. I usually like neatly planned areas with a sort of white theme but this has turned into a mess tbh so please if anyone has any suggestions or advice on how I can fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
@whole zodiac hmm, i have a couple of suggestions. i like the seasonal item idea, but the palm trees you have say "summer" to me, and the rest of the items and flowers say "spring" since they're mostly pastel colors and you don't see those very often in the summer. maybe take some inspiration from the seasonal DIYs? the summer shell seasonals aren't great but there's a lot of shell DIYs that you can use to fill that space. then in fall you can make it trees bounty/mush themed, and in winter frozen themed, etc. just an idea!
yeah i was thinking maybe the bamboo is too spring
ill try replacing a lot of them with shell furniture i think thank u!!
opinion on this as a planned entrance?
my viewing deck overlooking the market area is ready for the summer festival!
Hey does anyone have any tips on how to make your rivers look natural?
@grand rover Have a look at this https://twitter.com/eggotchi/status/1250278044842917888/photo/3

This a good start to a farm?
When i dont have any inspo, i put spot like this on my island...theres like 4 of these 😂
(Pls help!) I have no idea of what to put in this big empty area, help me with ideas pls(I'll move the house)
@proud crystal Maybe a library, cafe, diner?
@wispy jay I have a cafe and library and I'm working on a diner TwT
a lava pit with half melted bones
A big market, with cakes, food, fruits, stands.... @proud crystal
Thanks for the ideas!
^^
You guys have any inspo for villager yards? :)
what should i put in this walkway?
what should i put in this walkway?
@weary spindle what’s your island theme? You can put hyacinth lamps and butterfly models or stalls like a market
it’s cottagecore with a dark witchy undertone^^
Or extend one of the ledges and simply put a pine tree with some flowers
And a small puddle on the left to create a narrower path maybe a slight curve
alright^
The puddle with your waterfall - just@some@thogjts
Where do people get their natural island layout theme from? I see all the 5 star ones have such amazing themes and layouts but where are they finding how to make them?
Not to say its not original cos I know some are, just some are very similar to others
They likely watch videos, Pinterest, Reddit, this server. Save a collection of ideas and make it your own> Where do people get their natural island layout theme from? I see all the 5 star ones have such amazing themes and layouts but where are they finding how to make them?
@lone crag
My Flower beach leading up to the outdoor movie theatre Jurassic Park :D
The nice thing about a natural island, you can’t mess it up. Just terraform so if looks natural around your buildings or terraform and move your stuff around
My Favourite layouts ive made!!
What should I put in this space between Julia and Ankha’s homes?
A pond
What should I put in this space between Julia and Ankha’s homes?
@vocal pilot you can try a fence or themed furniture first. Then slowly add
Deaperately need inspiration for what to put in this area behind my shops. If you have pics that would be an added bonus!! Thanks xx
@frail robin what did you have already
Deaperately need inspiration for what to put in this area behind my shops. If you have pics that would be an added bonus!! Thanks xx
@frail robin garden, additional specialty stores, park, cafe, statue and art area
I made a collage with few pics of my island! If anyone wants to visit in dreams 🥰
@woven drift nothing. I planned a flower shop with green house etc.... But changed my mind and put that else where on the island. So now I'm left with this lol
Maybe a diner
@final hare I like the idea of speciality stores, but not sure what stores to put. I already have a bakery and coffee stall inbetween my 2 shops
@frail robin here’s another idea. This is my artsy area.
here's my laundry area!
Im stuck on this area! I want to do a star gazing area hence the moons in the back. I've got a cottagecore theme island :) would appreciate any ideas x
Ignore the flowers as well
does anyone have some kind of hiking trail/forest path? i cannot figure out how to structure mine.. i especially do not know which path to use (i don't want to use THE path)
@woven drift you can try searching "in:island-layouts has:image hiking". I think the in-game dirt path is underrated - you could use that and plant weeds on top for a deep forest-y look. Or you could use a steeping stone or log custom design to make a path
@woven drift I'd found this one a little while ago
finished my little walkway
oo ty guys!!
What should I do on these parts of my island? My theme is mushroom cottage core
maybe a little mushroom forest or an area to paint or stargaze
@long stream it would be fun to see your island's take on some of the island ideas from the pins, but specifically for your theme you could try a mushroom farm, mushroom forest trail, and/or mushroom farmers market
Yeah the thing is I barely have any mushroom items so I'll have to get those lol
This is my map for my fairycore island if anyone wants to visit the code is under the map 🙂
@long stream you have enough space for some nice heart or circular shaped ponds! You can check out my island to see what it looks like I have every theme
any ideas on how to incooperate the tower of pisa on my island? :D
@cerulean scaffold
wohhh thats sooo good! Need to get loads of redd stuff now lol
idk if this is the right chat but what should i put here? if it’s the wrong chat i am sorry
@fossil summit youre in the right chat :)) hmm maybe a little reading area, like kinda hidden or maybe a hidden small market place they sell potions or something sketchy idk haha
@molten swallow thank you!!
a fishing shop around the pond maybe?
FIBSH SHOP
does anyone with a cottagecore island have a flower breeding area? i need some inspo haha
is there any instructions for a rock garden? as in moving the rocks into desired place
@worldly ginkgo you can look in youtube how to make a rock garden, you could find a ton of guides there!
@worldly ginkgo yea but you either spend a lot of time on overrated symmetry or you build most of your island and take an hour or two to do it.
The basic idea behind this is that rocks spawn on sand dirt and grass. And that walls and items and such block them
@worldly ginkgo
I waited until I had one area left to build and basically destroyed any undesired rocks
Mine takes 1/10th of the time of a usual rock garden!
Beheheh
DA-7678-0216-6239
I've seen super beautiful symmetric works of art with those rocks but tbh I prefer the natural look more
i just used the rocks as accent pieces around the island
Since we are sharing piratey things here is mine!
instead of a dedicated rock garden spot, i opted to juust spread them out to places where I want them. as for fossil holes, i burried a bunch of fossils behind hidden cliffs so they dont spawn anymore
nice. i dont see a lot of nature themed pirate stuff
That's really good too. I dont ever copy from others. I think people should trust their intuition and personal taste but nothing wrong with learning from very pro people
Thabks a lot mate! I was going for a very free area! Wild!
zen rock gardens are nice but they take up plenty of QR slots to make them look decent. the sand patterns take about 6 spaces at least iirc
Didjt have space left and wanted to do a nature/tropical pirate viking area
lol use the beach maybe?
I didnt use any qr slots but yeah it would look better if I did
All of my beaches are full
i turned one of my beach areas into a kaiju battleground where scorpions fight tarantulas and kaiju battle robots 
I wish I had a larger island its really too small ;-;
lol same. thats why i made a 2nd full house
I'm done with my first but am working on my 2nd!
all the concepts i wanted to execute that wont fit into the outdoors, i made them indoors. for example, a hanami matsuri area with the yatai section
Im working on a zen garden so far its pretty empty, i was wondering if you guys had any ideas to What to put there?
deer scare, various rocks, bamboo lamps, tanuki statue, tall lantern, tremendous statue, etc @forest bloom
for plants, you can use bonsai, bonsai shelves, shrubs
@woven drift lol whats the story of the bears behind cages? experimentation subjects?
@viscid osprey
Glad you asked lmfao
i turned one of my beach areas into a kaiju battleground where scorpions fight tarantulas and kaiju battle robots :LuffyLaugh:
@viscid osprey did you made the mecha yourself or did you bought the mecha already done (or bought the needed materials)?
i have one room with mechs inside and it's my space mech hangar. i had a similar idea to cage one of the monster statues behind jailbars but opted for a hangar instead
@forest bloom anything from here?
Can y’all help me idk what to do with this area I need ideasss :p
@woven drift i made 1 mecha myself but bought 4 others. i used a total of 3 mechas in my island and gave out 2
@woven drift beautiful execution on that garden
Thank you so mu ch!! Its right next to the RS almost ^^
thanks, cuz I had the idea to do a battle arena Godzilla vs Mecha, but since i don't have any Mecha, we'll its just Godzilla vs Godzilla @viscid osprey
Can y’all help me idk what to do with this area I need ideasss :p
@karmic escarp a market, or a go-kart circuit...
a mario kart circuit sounds great for that place lol
does Sadako come out of the well? 
If I'm sadako then yes I got knee length hair lmfao it's my nickname sigh
I wouldnt know. Have you checked nintendo life?dunno the source
i hate the limited options for food in this game. i want ramen, kakigori, kaiseki, parfait, etc
you know..stuff in pocket camp 
This is my wishing well area.
it's a cute one. i love making those mini themed areas to fill out the map
@karmic escarp
so certain in-between routes dont look so empty.
Cool I wanna see
That’s sooo pretty omg
Show us some pics! And you may visit mine
ill go take some 
@karmic escarp I'd fill up your cute area with lots of colorful flowers and items
Shrubs flowers, a well, maybe some lanterns. All nice
Ah the flowers you got nice
Thanks! I really like that idea
Fountains work too. Bird baths. Bird houses. Maybe chairs? Shrubs
What lanterns do u think would be fitting?
Hmm my island is overwhelmingly Asian but mostly chinese. So I use tall lanterns (stone) nd cherry blossom lanterns. But yours seems western so maybe those black ones that are tall and thin?
Street lanterns or however they're called? Maybe even some floor lights here and there
From the nook app! I got them in black if yoh need some?
That would be great! I think that would really go with the vibe lol
Oh if you're going more fantasy do use beautiful mush lamps and hyacinth lamps
Question, does this look tropical-ish?
Thought so, I was told it looked more foresty, ty tho
for living in a tropical country, I think you should add more coconut trees and shrubs
and the street lights don't go with this theme tropical atmosphere your wanting to do
This is my entrance btw
Probably need more palm trees in the other spot then to match it better
use a mix of hardwood and coconut to get a jungle/tropical feel
@woven drift
i can’t seem to find my post from earlier so sorry to type this again but what would you all put here?
Feel free to use this for Nook's Cranny ideas
@viscid osprey Love love love the bikes <3
theyre mini areas to fill up empty spaces. makes touring the island more exciting
Love the little cemetery
Alastor you got a cool island!
Think you can help lots of people here who want an island like yours
would be glad to help out if i can
@viscid osprey what are those little orange wind thingies on the third photo (bottom right)?
My Island looks trash and I wish I had an opportunity to re design it without losing all my items. Any good advice what to do maybe?
@woven drift pinwheels
are they from a seasonal event?
@pallid gale move all buildings to the beaches and clear out everything to make a flat island, that’s what i did
anyone have a dream island i can explore for ideas?
@stable shuttle check #dream-addresses🌜
@pallid gale do 1 area at a time! im also re doing my island and i think thats the best you can do!
@fossil summit sounds time consuming but guess it's the only way I have. Thanks :)
@pallid gale i would start with deciding on an outline first, then a concept. move all the buildings that you need out of the way when you want to terraform an area. i would advice against resetting the island or flattening it unless you're new or totally hate the placement of the townhall or river outputs. plenty can be done to work around those issues but to some, it's better to reset.
@woven drift theyre from fireworks event.
@stable shuttle yep my dream island is set
Thank u guys
I would love some feedback / constructive criticism on my entrance, idk wether I like it or not 🥺
@woven drift I really like it, but if you feel you are missing something you could add some bushes or more flowers!
@woven drift I totally agree, I’m gonna try and get some bushes from Leif when he decides to actually show up on my island!
@woven drift maybe use a butterfly/ladybug model or 2? you can also add in crafted garden rock, tall rock, and/or flat rock
a well in the distance would also add color and additional element to the entrance
oo I like the garden rock idea, I’ll look into getting the diy! thank you! 🙂
Hello! Wanted to share my Able's in here, currently waiting for autumn in the northern hemisphere, lol.
@mint pier i really like it! Im sure that in fall it would looks amazing
Does anyone have an example of a mini zen garden area, or bamboo forest
Could anyone send me a few pictures of people using the path? I wanted to use it for my neighborhood area
Does anyone have an example of a mini zen garden area, or bamboo forest
@stiff crypt This is what I’ve done with my limited stone DIYs
I'd love some ideas for museum exterior if anyone wants to show off
@sturdy ore Here is my entrance i use 2 variations of "the path", 1 has leaves and the borders have white flowers! (sorry for bad quality)
Ty!
@dim solar thank you!
I thought all people in this channel switched to dream addresses
me trying to make a non-tt island then figuring out my switch time was 1 day ahead😢
@steel geyser oh nooo
@woven drift nope. This channel is about asking for feedback on their island and showing off parts of their island. If you want to visit islands, then it has its own channel.
what do i do🙃
I dont want to visit islands, people showcase their islands there y’know @twilit lintel
what should i do for my entrense?
@woven drift then why did you think people from here switched to the dream address channel? 😅
@minor jay here's what i did for mine
Needing some feedback on my cafe
Does anyone have an interesting museum entrance they’d like to share? I’m in the process of making mine and would appreciate some inspiration. :)
@manic sigil thats so cute 😮
@woven drift then why did you think people from here switched to the dream address channel? 😅
@twilit lintel I said i thought, because a lot there are giving their address for feedback, and here just show pictures, and i didnt mean anything by it btw
@minor jay here’s what I did with mine. It’s quite simple
@terse vale i would customize the table, chairs, and stalls to a darker color to match better with the darker simple panels and flooring
how did you do the water falls :> @twilit lintel
@woven drift oh no! I was just confused by your statement. Nothing against you.
Does anyone have good entrance inspo for me ? I have my airport 8 holes away from rs and it is 1 hole off centre , so its quite a struggle
@twilit lintel Well now you’re not confused 
@violet temple i dont think that’s far, maybe decorate the sides with trees and flowers? Or something that fits your theme
@minor jay I made the cliffs then added the water then added the nova lights. It’s actually quite complicated to explain. But it’s easy to do when you get the hang of terraforming
@violet temple this person has my favorite small space inspo for entrances, hers is 8 squares if you count them and she packs so much in https://twitter.com/mori__tsumu/status/1253584047248306176?s=21
I have a waterfall entrace rn but it doesnt flow well at all
Hey guys if I got lots or valuable items/nmts to specifically donate to people who are aspiring to improve their island in this channel, am I allowed to?
@woven drift not this channel
Maybe I'll just sneak up on some of you and dm you now and then. I just got a bunch of free stuff from someone and dont wanna donate them randomly
I could use some help 😅 im a New player and its a struggle
I dont want them to be resold, but actually used maybe.
I'm trying to figure out what type of bridge would look good here. in general my island is pretty naturey, but this portion is slightly more inhabited (2nd floor is Ables, villager's house to the right of this, stone pathed hedge maze to the back)
@woven drift that’s kind of you :)
@woven drift then do that because you can get in trouble for discussing other stuff besides island layouts.
Ok I'll dm you guys <3 or please dm me and I'll get back to you
I will @twilit lintel thanks for the heads up
Yup no problem @woven drift
@floral nimbus what paths are you using to the right and left? i do stone for all my bridges because it works with the ingame stone paths and it can look both town-like and naturey at once
no pathing around this, this is one of the beach river entrances @scenic blaze
i'd either do stone or match the zen bridge you have above
Does anyone know the name of this item?
tree's bounty lamp
@woven drift there’s also #giveaways🎁 and you can donate whatever to go to different winners. They have giveaways all the time for items, NMT, bells, and even villagers. Try checking there
Anyone have that Neighbourhood layout image?
@woven drift and for future reference if it doesn’t pertain to Island layouts, please message it in another channel. You can get banned for self promotion and constantly messaging in the wrong chat when you know your in the wrong
I'm not self promoting though
@gritty eagle
ty @vernal oxide
But I got it ^^
Oh, quick question, are the tiny squares supposed to represent tiles?
@woven drift yesterday you were. You were asking people to come to your island and you were giving them items. As well as promoting your insta. I’m trying to help you out.
Uh I stopped promoting the Instagram when I was told to. And telling them to come to my island I do only when people ask for dream addresses
@gritty eagle I’m not entirely sure about the measurements on those. But the villager houses are 4x4 and then the picture shows the sizing of yards for 7x5
That much is allowed here, I think
@gritty eagle The tiny squares do represent tiles 🙂
If I'm not allowed to respond to those who wish to see an island that matches the description I'd give of my island, it shouldn't be allowed to ask for dream addresses in this channel then :)
My isaland is so ugly lOL
Can someone that’s good at terraforming and generally making your island look good please pm me? I might hire you (with bells and nmts i enjoy your work)
@woven drift that’s not what I’m saying at all. But offering up items to get people to come to your island is a different story. If people want to come then message them directly, and send your DA or send it in #dream-addresses🌜 where it belongs
@gray escarp same... it sometimes makes me think if i have the same game as other people LOL
I'm not offering people items to come to my island though. :O
@woven drift that’s not what I’m saying at all. But offering up items to get people to come to your island is a different story. If people want to come then message them directly, and send your DA or send it in #dream-addresses🌜 where it belongs
@vernal oxide was about to comment on this, DA has its own channel, so if it relates to island layouts, DMing would probably be better
@gray escarp @small rover takes time and effort. Just start in one area at a time
@small rover only you would be able to terraform and decorate. But I can give you a link to some tips and tricks: https://twitter.com/saltspringac/status/1275977670493261824
Thanks @vernal oxide
I give every single person I donate to often 40 nmt at the very least. Without asking anything in return
err how is that relevant to #island-designs
It is not and I dont discuss this here if you scroll up
@woven drift okay. I guess I could be hallucinating lmao. Just keep the questions that done belong here in there correct channels or in #game-help-questions❓ or #690093605821480980 and #mysterybags-and-yardsales if you want to give away items to visitors
I said I dm people and people can dm me. So I dont like to be micromanaged by non-mods if that makes sense
Yes, I got that thank you
You can post in #690093605821480980 or #mysterybags-and-yardsales if you want to host giveaways or want multiple people to visit for free (the giveaway channel you have to apply for so this is easier) :) @woven drift
@woven drift is just helping people decorating their islands with furniture, i dont think thats irrelevant
If someone writes here that gosh, they really wish they had mushroom items, I sometimes slip up and answer here that they can have it for free from me. But I've been dming them lately and wont take it to public sorry
gosh i wish i had mushroom items 👀
Anyway, let's carry on and continue with island layout discussions here ~~
Anyone have stargazing spots or campsite for inspo? 😍😍😍
@small rover depends on what type of terraforming you're going for, but in general smoothing out corner pieces of cliffs or making cliff faces look more jagged is always a good start if you want your island to look more natural, and so does keeping a width limit on your waterfalls. The islands I've seen with the crazy waterfalls (that look like walls, or completely enclosed) normally have more city-like or mixed type themes going on. It's kind of hard to give specific tips unless you give us some examples of what you think looks good 😮
@willow bloom my campsite
@willow bloom my campsite
@twilit lintel LOL that looks kind of like mine
That look like a cosy campsite!! @twilit lintel
Can someone send a picture with their rivers or their map? im trying to terraform my rivers and im looking for inspiration!
Anyone have stargazing spots or campsite for inspo? 😍😍😍
@willow bloom mine is simple but it works as a stargazing/firework viewing spot :)
Omg that look super cute!!! Is that a log stool? @plain forge
@floral nimbus this is what’s around that area. @willow bloom it’s a bit scary at night honestly since the forest is so dense
@woven drift mine is a mess lol. I threw water where it probably shouldn’t have. But I did close up one of the river mouths
Maybe put some garden lantern? @twilit lintel
@vernal oxide your map is beautiful!
@willow bloom those are log chairs and I used the the small ironwood chair for the table :)
Thank you! Might do something similar 😍
@willow bloom oh I wanted to have that real feel of being in a dark forest.
@willow bloom be sure to post it! Would love to see what you do to the area 
@twilit lintel ohh I got chu! And yes definitely will do and tagged you too! @plain forge
anyone has any idea what should i do with this? i was thinking about making a viewing spot as part of campsite
Redd’s back alley 👀
@paper verge you could always do a viewing site and also make it a picnic area as well!
@vernal oxide It felt kinda empty and I have no idea which furniture theme i should use ._.
@paper verge you could do something simple with a custom design and make a picnic blanket. Or you can use log furniture and make benches and a table to make it seem like a camping picnic area if that makes sense
You could do a couple tables and chairs since it’s a larger space^
@paper verge so for instance I had this area connected to my campsite as a picnic area (old pic)
do you guys know of any furniture items that provide awning/cover? the only thing i know about so far is the mushroom parasol
@floral nimbus no nothing I’ve seen in the game I don’t think
@floral nimbus I know a lot of city/urban folks use stalls as buildings with awnings down streets, but otherwise there's nothing else 😔
@vernal oxide this looks so nice! awh I'll try your suggestion XD thank youu
you can't even walk under the mush parasol though ):
you can't even walk under the mush parasol though ):
@scenic blaze wait really? 😭
yeah a friend gave me one and it just blocks off a whole section of the lil cliff i have it on
@delicate glen lol nice Kirin Beer and Jump mags
Does annyone know how i can make my Island less boring im not really creative and Just started 3 weeks ago so i dont have a lot of deco
@violet temple try focusing more on the real look instead of the map. And hopefully it will look more interesting
I really hate how i placed my houses but dont have enough bells to move them
My museum garden! Scattered some fossils around to make it more museum-ey 
What would be the best place to put a residential area on my map ?
what theme are you going for @violet temple
I dont really know
i made a moon last night and i hate it. any tips on how to place it?
@violet temple you can make bells buying and selling turnips. You could also sell items your not using. Or even check #flower-plants-trade and get paid to do things for others! Here’s general neighborhood layouts if you want to do a neighborhood
Ty!
anyone have good ideas for beaches? mine are all empty and that's next to do on my list 
@vernal oxide your layout is really decent may I suggest even more.. WATER
@remote spindle I’ve seen a lot of people place it in their stargazing areas. And I’ve also seen a few as center pieces of an area
@violet temple assuming you have a lot of trees, you can always chop wood and sell it (esp regular wood which is in high demand) in stacks in #materials-and-tools for nmt, then sell those for bells 🤔
Wow sorry my chat didnt update I responded to a super old post haha
@remote spindle I put on top of the hill to make an illusion for my zen garden
@woven drift
Can u move multiple houses a day ?
No, but you can tt to speed it up @violet temple
Can u move multiple houses a day ?
@violet temple sadly no
@violet temple nope
Awwh
thank you both!! ❣️
anyone have any cottagecore resident services decor images?
@woven drift no need to say anything rude about my island. I didn’t ask for your reassurance. I was telling someone I didn’t use much water on my island. Does my first message ask for your opinion? Your lucky I’m in a good mood today
What the hell all I said was that yourr island looked decent and that you could even add more water if you're into that. Why so mean?
If you dont want people's input dont post your screenshots here? :o
@woven drift I posted my screenshots because someone asked for help. Read what’s going on in the chat and maybe you’ll understand no one asked for your opinion
But I can give it and I was even being constructive and kind in my opinion. More than positive. Why reject my input so vehemently?
@woven drift you know what. I’m not doing this today with you sis
☕️
Jesus okay, let's move on. I like it here. Please let me be

Btw everyone has their own opinion about their islands. As long as u like ur island then nobodys opinion matters. Im sure both of your islands are uniquely yours ☺️
Oh wow that was excessive
Like for no reason lmfao
Take 2
Changed up the paths, added more palm trees and torch lights
Does this look more tropical-ish?
@misty anvil I think it looks good! The pathing you used resembles a boardwalk which is gorgeous!
@misty anvil pretty!! I would use rattan chairs and trash can instead and maybe add some tropical coloured flowers ☺️
Ty @vernal oxide
My island is gonna be a kinda tropical resort island with a modern city inspiration
And this is near my fishing spot so I thought a boardwalk would look better
And ty too @jovial fern, I actually do have some more tropical flowers under the country fence, but it's just outta frame in this lol
@misty anvil it looks great! My island is a tropical resort theme as well. I prefer to use the bamboo lattice fence rather than the one you used. But it still looks good.
I'm needing help editing my cafe
@twilit lintel ty, I actually went to ur town with the dream code u posted recently, ur island had alot of inspiration for me btw ^^, and I tried the bamboo fence with this, but since I have iron fences in the background of where the vertical board fences are, with the one bein partially seethru, I thought this blocked it more ya know?
i really like the vertical board in yours, it's such a warm color that really works with a summery tropical vibe
Weird question but have any ideas on where to put a party place? H e h e and a bad pic
upper left corner, ez party cliffside shindig
Ahhh that makes a lot of sense! But I’m glad you got some inspo. Like @scenic blaze said, the vertical board does give it some warmth to your island since you used the stone path in the background as well
@deft spear depending on what kind of party it could be a beach party maybe even the bottom right to jump off the dock/pier
True, I was considering using terracotta paths, but I thought itd be too bright for some of the spots, plus I think it adds more contrast with the dark path with bright decorations
@misty anvil yeah it definitely did. It looks good
Tysm ^^
Just fix my cafe
Just fix my cafe
@terse vale you can add a custom design on the stall, add menus (either the in game item or custom simple panel), maybe one more seating area, lights, plants? Plus bushes and flowers linning the outside of the cafe
add more seating areas, maybe a few kitchen items towards the back?
I would advice you to look into the list of items available on Nookazon or other similar sites so you have a better idea of what to do. @terse vale
adding things like a sink, a menu board, music player, mixer, oven, etc...
knowing what's available would give you more freedom to plan ahead
So far
@slate burrow add trees!
I want to
why do i get mario party minigame vibes from that
But I don’t know where. @manic sigil help?
Hello there, im very new here (not the game) and i wanted to share my first dreamcode soon. but im not sure if my island is worth cisiting at all. other ppls island are so amazing.
Mine ain’t lmao
@pseudo aspen hahaha it’s okay! Everyone changes their island. It’s just as long as you like it love!! And it would be better to post your dream code in #dream-addresses🌜
@slate burrow on the sides? maybe instead of the flowers by the benches (not the plant flowers that one in the container). if you dont want that put them on the corners of the outside, just to provide some shade
@pseudo aspen if you like your island design, that's all it matters! :) You can come here for inspo, ask questions about layout, or get advice~ and once you're ready, I'm sure many people would want to visit your island. You can share your dream code in #dream-addresses🌜 ^^
Thanks @manic sigil !
@slate burrow heya I think I could help you there! Why dont you also introduce some beautiful lily of the valley flowers? (I have some excess ones if needed btw). I also think some for of lighting would help. Maybe streetlamps for your western theme? Love the heart shaped dirt paths you've made and how they're alternating! Maybe also some shrubs? Trees too
@vernal oxide i would do that, i post here couse here seams to be teh right place to getting help and judgment over islands
Im gonna add custom designs later n all that, but so far i think im going in the right direction for my farmland area
@pseudo aspen yeah! If you post pics of areas here we can give advice and suggestions!
Oo! I put some shrubs in already and I’ll take the lily of The Valley. I sadly don’t have any @woven drift
@mockingjae: i realy woudl like that
Alternatively, some redd statues (the white ones, fake or genuine) would not feel out of place at all @slate burrow
Hmmm I don’t have any. I would get some but I’m broke from buy the bushes and mums.
It's okay! I'll see what I can do ^^
I used yellow hibiscus flowers as a pop of color
added a little seating area to marshal's house 
Cute!
@median sonnet it looks so good i dont think you need my advice but bush fencing would look good between the bushes
@silver sorrel looks good so far! 🤩 If you want it to look extra farmy, don't forget the scarecrow and mum cushions (cabbages) 
Hey could someone help me out
Sure
I am not sure how to look it up efficiently, but does anybody have some pics of land bridges ? preferably just straight up ^^'
So far.
I am not sure how to look it up efficiently, but does anybody have some pics of land bridges ? preferably just straight up ^^'
@wary gorge just browse the pins
@slate burrow you could probably add more trees on the sides and also add some shrubs!
What does everyone think?
@slate burrow already so much better!
I know @vernal oxide I was just showing the wip lmao
Lol
All the searches typically show the actual bridges, I wanted the ones similar to the long person made bridges, not sure if theres another word for it v_vb
@slate burrow oh sorry hahaha! I seen it looks previously and it looks so much better! Once you add more decorations it’ll be perfect!
Lmao thanks. I have shrubs growing already!
@wary gorge there's a couple if you search "in: island-layouts has:image fake bridge"
not a ton though, i don't really know another search term for it. maybe searching on twitter would help too?
!! that makes sense, will try lookin again in here, might just try twitter too
where are yall getting fences? i cannot find the diy codes for any
@woven drift nook mile redemption!

where are yall getting fences? i cannot find the diy codes for any

i thought i was going crazy cuz i could not find them... no yeah i knew hedges were from lief but i didnt know wher eyou could get fences. now it just gives you the diy code for the fence right?
@plain forge i just got the diy i just need the mums in order to make them, i have a whole other side of the farm with all of the houseplants, etc
i thought i was going crazy cuz i could not find them... no yeah i knew hedges were from lief but i didnt know wher eyou could get fences. now it just gives you the diy code for the fence right?
@woven drift Lmao honestly i just found it their from the machine like 3 days ago
Yes yes! thank you, this is exactly what I wanted to see with water next to it!
@wary gorge Aww i wish i could’ve helped but i didnt understand sorry
@wary gorge there's a vid on youtube by a girl named Emma Universe w a how-to on making it!
she has a code for the deck path that i used too. look up acnh giant bridge and its the first vid 🙂
No worries Sleepy, it's a more obscure thing to look up anyways ♥, and TY spice, I'll def check it out rn ^^
Hello if anyone can help me!I got this 2 rives and i really dont know how to join them and where to finish the river trail that would look good😅 anyone got any ideas?
are you trying to extend the river to the right side with the river mouth?
hey guys, i just finished terraforming my island and ive started to decorate but ive realized that i hate it haha. if anyone is willing to help me design a new island that would be amazing. i can pay in bells or nmt, whichever is more convenient. thanks guys 🥺
@nocturne lotus i would try to do the natural river (the one at the right) more curve, that way you can join them and make sort of a U shape (?
@nocturne lotus i think if you want to join the two rivers without making any changes in the the one on the right that has a bridge in place, you can build a cliff towards where the two rivers are heading and have 2 waterfalls on the cliff that connects to the rivers? :)
are you trying to extend the river to the right side with the river mouth?
@silver sorrel
No but if there was a way that would would be awesome😂
maybe have a waterfall come down from the second layer to end one of the water trails and just continue the other one? ngl that river placement kinda sus lmao

@plain forge
Both sound like good ideas! Im going to try them and see which fits best!
Does the bamboo make it better or worse
maybe move the bamboo towards the back more
Do u guys have any advice about how I can get a 5 star rating
Uhhh I may have run out of fruit @silver sorrel
@strange aspen there's a guide to a 5 star island if you look in the pins
0_0
Thanks for the help
Lol

@silver sorrel
IK lmao but i wanted a bridge that connected the middle part of my island where all the paths are to my woodsy area and i like how the bridge looks but not the river
has anyone made an office or a bank in your island 😦 if so, can I see 🥺
Anyone have photos of Coles yard i could see for inspo
@slate burrow are you planning to add more to the middle? Around the trees? It looks quite empty IMO
anyone got ideas for this part of my island? its empty-
@oak vessel theres a list of ideas in the pinned section!! Personally I think a library would look cute if you don’t have one yet!
oo!! thank you!! time to hunt for book related stuff 👁️
@woven drift i don't have any pictures of my cole's yard 😩 sorry, not on my switch right now, but my cole lives on the beach and i have lots of tall garden rocks to match his house, and some of the blue bug/fish containers (like when you place a diving beetle on the ground, you get a blue bucket) to match his little blue curtain in the window
Thoughts?
my signboard! A welcome thing for people
It says “TTomi” but i made it look runic
@twilit lintel not really. What do you think I should put? More flowers or a path?
@vast siren some people have, if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: bank” or switch out the word bank for office you can see some pics others have posted!
Wasn't really happy with Marshal's yard until now~
the azalea or hydrangea bushes would've looked better in his yard imo but they're out of season
pls why can't we have all bushes in season
going around various dream islands made me realize how dependent people are on flowers and waterfalls to decorate a collectively large chunk of their island. nothing against flower fields and waterfall scenes/entrances but sometimes it's so excessive.
that said i worked a lot to decrease my use of waterfalls since it limits creativity in the long run
@slate burrow maybe you can put water all around it with the spaces not filled with trees and such and leave little 1x1 islands to hop on. If that makes sense
Im looking for Japanese theme airport entrance, i need some pics for motivation! I dont wanna copy, just need some ideas.
I see. Thanks @vernal oxide !
@slate burrow I would maybe suggest condensing the area as well so it doesn’t feel so empty.
@slate burrow show us how it looks after!! 👀
Officially ready for sunday!
just finished putting together my little fish market, super pleased with it
More dream addresses please
@slow coral use #dream-addresses🌜
@cerulean thicket so cute! i like your paths! only change i would make is placing a lil fishing rod next to the stall (:
@scenic blaze ooooh love that idea, didnt think of it!!
Anyone know what else I should do? I feel like it's a bit too dull
@toxic oar they're in the pins!
@fast carbon maybe an outdoor seating area?
@fast carbon maybe an outdoor seating area?
@cerulean thicket I was thinking that, but idk any seats that would go well
@fast carbon iron garden table i think would for sure match well. not sure about chairs though, i don't have many!
@woven drift dream addresses should be posted to the #dream-addresses🌜 channel 🙂 i directed them there already, this channel is for island design feedback and inspo without dream addresses
@woven drift #dream-addresses🌜
does someone have decoration ideas for a birthday? it's a fairly small area, and i want to make a firework watching area out of it because the bday is on the 2nd of august (fireworks)
Sorry someone asked for a dream address -_-
@woven drift yes, but in the wrong channel, so i redirected them to the correct one for better assistance
I didnt see that you did. Thanks I'll pay attention in the future
@nova palm I got some screenshots of when I did reese and cyrus wedding event thing. I believe I used the appropriate items there so maybe if you want I can share a screenshot
yes please
@nova palm someone posted this cute little one before that would be cute for fireworks if you did something similar
what are those items?
@fluid harness okay so obviously this was indoors but use what you can outdoors.
So what I'm trying to show is: plenty of these items are from winter season. The gift boxes that glow in the dark.
@nova palm theyre birthday items you get a chance of getting every year of your birthday!
There are many many cake designfrom the mom cake that your mom sends you sometimes
can i buy them from other players?
There is also the birthday cake that you can get on your birthday. Yes all can be bought from others
@nova palm yes! In the #furniture-trade or on nookazon
@nova palm yup! So you can check nookazon or #furniture-trade ! Also the chairs are called cute chairs!
Im looking for items to put on the stalls at the second level here. Any ideas?
ok, thanks so so much everyone :'> I'll send the results later
Also plenty of wedding items seem very bday party like. Like the dining table ones. Very festive and customizable
If you need help just dm me I could try!
Hi! Looking for some inspiration from someone who has Julia! I want to see how people are decorating the exterior of her house! DM me your DA! Ty♡
@hollow bay just random stuff honestly since it’s just like a street market. Each stall can be something different
@hollow bay it'd look really pretty with lights, the table lamp's shade can be customized to match the area better and it would provide a cool little light source that can fit on a stall
@hollow bay it'd look really pretty with lights, the table lamp's shade can be customized to match the area better and it would provide a cool little light source that can fit on a stall
@scenic blaze ohh that’s a good idea.
has som1 pictures of a strand bar?
At the risk of futher dropping framerate at this area, ill add lights
@fossil fog strand? Or sand? Like a tiki bar?
Strand = beach right? Are you dutch ahha
send what you have :) looking for inspiration
Haha I'm dutch too but it helps to write in english xD or is strand also english
@hollow bay i feel you, my FPS is like 2 in my market
@woven drift this looks sick!
@woven drift do you want to see other beach project I finished ages ago?
@fossil fog Alice tiki bar and restaurant
yes ofc!
Not a bar, but a restaurant
If you have my terribly inconvenient layout you can extend the beach project by going onto the area above the beach
Doesnt matter if it is not perfect. I love my restaurant haha
my layout sucks too
I need help with decorating the outside of my villagers houses. these are my villagers:
- Sherb
- Octavian
- Roald
- Marina
- Pietro
- Chevre
- Broccolo
- Ketchup
- Kiki
- Zucker
I'm willing to pay with bells
i am trying to extend my beach but it doesnt look that great
Nooo @woven drift that's double south river entrance its acrually quite neat I lvoe it
how do you post such nice screenshots of your islands?
@fossil fog I put a lot of my stuff on a board walk and then have the tables on the beach
Does anybody knows wedding path codes. but sideway
And I wish I had it it is awesome for people who wre really good at terraforming and love to make extremely symmetric layouts from my experience haha. So I picked a layout that didnt really suit me but I made it work xD every single layout has potential dont hate on yours
@floral nimbus you link it to your Facebook (privately preferably) or twitter and then you downlosd/save the pic
@woven drift I have something similar in mine but we use different fences
@chilly sparrow you mean a restaurant on the beach? Mind sharing it? I'd love to see it
@floral nimbus if you take the picture on with switch with the little square button or with the nook phone you can post them to twitter or fb and save them. Same with videos if you hold the camera button. Post it and screen record it and crop it
No, a Chinese restaurant
Ohhh please share it!!! My main theme is chinese but I have all the themes on my island haha
I am chinese after all ^^
@chilly sparrow that staircase is genius
你在哪裡?
Okay this still feels really bland-VC (crafting table is temp)
@floral nimbus thanks haha it was the best thing I could find
Some short videos of my favorite places around my island! Peep Eunice giving us a workout demo 😎
@chilly sparrow I'm from the Netherlands but you're not allowed to write in another language here I'm also really bad at reading chinese haha
Ohhh ok
I speak Cantonese I'm not mandarin which you probably speak** Anyway, I'd love to help people with their islands!
@primal galleon the little footstep sounds in the first video are everything. Gorgeous!
Idk what to do with his house it feels so bland-
No I'm from England, learning mandarin though
@fast carbon whose hosue and show us a pic!
Kyle :/ He's my baby so I really wanna make it look good
This is my night Market
@vernal oxide I love hearing them pitter patter around! Dobie kept photobombing a lot of the other videos I have so he’s everywhere 😝
@fast carbon is that the old grandpa wolf?????
@fast carbon he wants to be a singer! You could always do a music set up for him with some seating!
I need some actual food to go on it then it will look better
I love kyle. Show me his exterior and I'll help you:)
@primal galleon he’s so adorable
@fast carbon is that the old grandpa wolf?????
@woven drift Nah thats dobie
Wait is it the yellow one then. Like a hyena a bit?
I finally did it! After two weeks
i love dobie (: i spoil him on my island
I've personalized every villagers' house so if you show me the colour scheme I can help!
That's crazy detail haha
Anyone got singer-type-esque things?
@fast carbon for seating you can do the black iron garden chairs and tables! And then set up a microphone for him and maybe a source of music for him to sing to
I don't have the time to detail everything but I noticed I'm developing my own style now
it's so fun to see your style develop. mine has changed a lot since the beginning of the game
You have to let your style find you rather than look for one
- Walt Disney
Mmh I don't have a microphone-
@woven drift if you post a pic of the area we can help give advice!
So I’m planning to redo some area of my island I was planning to replace something in this area
anyone have suggestions for marshal's yard?
This area Is what I wanna replace
@fast carbon you could try to find one on nookazon or #furniture-trade
It needs more comtext
I just feel like it needs more color to his place and idk-
The resident service area is up there
@sweet willow most people gave him a cafe. This is mine
aw cute
@woven drift do you know what you want to redo it with? Are you changing it completely? Or do you just want to redesign the diner
@vernal oxide that's very cute. What are the tables called? The square ones
I wanna change it to something completely different
@woven drift wooden table
Ohhh and then customized? Cool fits really well!
@woven drift theres a list of ideas in the pinned section you can take a look at!
Flowers are like weeds damn
Ok I’ll try
hey! so i’m designing my map, and i’m having trouble with some areas, can anyone give me any suggestions about where to add things
And that's a mom's tea set right? @vernal oxide if you want a sugar and cream set with tea (I disagree with adding sugar to tea irl) I can help ^^
@woven drift I have one on the stall behind it. And yes they’re mom’s tea set. I have an espresso machine on the stall next to his house with cream and sugar but thank you
@vernal oxide ohh you mean this? You brilliantly faded the background (how is this done??) So I couldn't tell. Very cool and artistic :)
Does anyone have a fishing shack on their island? Here’s my and I’m looking for other stuff to add
@worthy night I'm not too sure about the river it seems incomplete
@woven drift I usually use the film filter on my pictures which usually fades the background
You could put a lake in
@young sigil I do! Next to my fish market if it helps?
@young sigil I have a very tiny fishing spot near Zucker’s house. You could add that cooler from the fishing tourney (can’t think of the name right now)
@vernal oxide ohh I've never tried other filters. Now I'm really curious about your island, I'd love to visit yours so you could dm me the address if you dont mind xD you're also welcome to visit mine :)
My beach camp inspired by mayor kassie on insta! Yay or nay?
@vernal oxide haha zucker. Zucker who I once had as a villaher now owns my fish market. I have his portrait there!!
I made this but my sisters tent is blocking it
@woven drift oh I forgot about the fish statues! I’ll have to add in some of those and @vernal oxide I also forgot about the cooler! Thank you guys!
Does anyone have a entry layout has the service thing super close to the airport?
@woven drift my island isn’t finished so I haven’t shared my DA yet but when I do I’ll send it to you
Here are WIPs of my Japanese stye neighborhood
@woven drift how close is close?
Do you guys have any recommendations for what else to add in the alley / passageways?
