@slender steeple dont be scared! be excited :3
Once you have a strong(ish) idea of what you want your island to look like, you’ll be fine @slender steeple
It’s 1x1
@woven drift you could always put a street lamp for a source of light. And there’s statues that are 1x1
The size of the palm tree light won’t fit there sadly
I forgot sadly
My island is still half empty so I wasn’t expecting this but I’m so excited 🥰
Im so scareeedddd
I don’t understand why the all the good lamp are like 1.5
dont be, terraforming is exciting, and quite easy
Ok!
If I did 2.0 x 2.0 on that area it would be off a little
just remember to decorate your cliffs with flowers and shrubs, and trees and curve edges!
Ok!
@slender steeple what theme are you doing for?
1.5 lamps? wait what I can't think of a single one 
Oo flamingo?
hmm?
I’m go try it see how it look
I have that
most lights/lamps/lanterns are 1x1
I think all lamops are 1x1, the only thing that 1.5 are the shell fountain and the well i think
Palm tree is 1.5 as well
@woven drift Agreed, all the "good" lamps/lanters are just a little TOO big, it's sooooo annoying!
There is only one 1.5 space lamp lol
@slender steeple look at some 5 star island tours or even checkout some #dream-addresses🌜 and don’t stress yourself. And then if you need help or advice on an area you can post a pic in this chat and ask for suggestions!
I redidmarshals yard any ops or thoughts 😊
Any suggestions on how I should decorate octavian’s yard? Trying to avoid bamboo items cause that’ll be used for pekoe! 🙏🏼 any help is appreciated 🙂
Maybe put the zodiac lamps?
I redidmarshals yard any ops or thoughts 😊
@river cypress it looks so good!!
@wise wadi that sound great I’m try the Pisces lamp
The scorpio tail lights up it's my fave
Is it really big or it’s kind a cup
And it's a good way to display the zodiac items
Perhaps in a statue garden or a temple-like area
I will try it 😳 it’s kinda weird how they cal it as miscellaneous I would though it was small
I hope it works out for u
That should be it thanks 😊
Np!
Misecellaneus just means it can be placed on tables and stuff
The moons take up so much space!!
Would it be a bad idea to only have pine trees and 2 of each fruit tree excluding coco nut trees?
Unless you want fruit trees for their fruit or for a decorative orchard theres really no need to have them
@tender nova not a bad idea! the only thing youll lose is the seasonal colors that the hardwood trees change to (cherry blossom, red in the fall, etc)
I just want to have fruit if I need it for any reason
well youll always have your islands native fruit in nooks
I can't remember what that fruit was
check your passport
Well I forgot that existed
And apparently it's cherries
ah lucky thats the best fruit!
iyo*
Is this a good look for fangs yard?
Yes!! Fang needs a library 200%
@storm bluff your beaches are so well designed, my fav is the export area! Also love that you left out the little flag 😊
@gusty shell i agree that fang needs a library, awesome library btw! 
@deft glen omg so cute !!! thank you for visiting haha it means a lot xx (also im OBSESSED with that flag, i had to share my happiness lolol)
@marsh heron tysm!@blissful schooner I agree!

hey i kinda wanted a goblincore theme for my island, what do you guys recommend as furniture? :)
does anyone have a southern hemisphere island :c need inspo
what is goblincore?
like cottagecore but more focused on the less appealing sides of nature such as moss, snails, slugs, mushrooms, etc
You could probably do a cottagecore island but with extra trash items perhaps
Any ideas for sherbs yard?
@exotic kite Thanks for the clarification, I do like the sound of that.
np! i like cottagecore but i find it a bit too fancy for me since 1.im lazy and 2. im grunge haha
Hey! This is a little playground thing I made, Id love any opinions or anything that could make this build a lil better, thanks!
@woven drift maybe add a climbing wall? Or a tricycle?
i’m debating keeping or moving the snack and drink machine
@lunar talon maybe just keep the snack one and get rid of the drink one
My plaza is 9 squares in front of my airport, so really small. Does anyone have any ideas for a fancy-ish entrance I can make for my island still?
Floor lights? Or a bridge if the gap is big enough?
Ooh a bridge would be a nice look, I haven’t thought of that :0 thank you
Np :>
@lunar talon maybe try a white drink machine instead!
hey lol, im redoing my whole island and i need ideas and pics of flower farms, so if anyone got some ideas or pics they can share please dm me ty!
Does anyone have a idea how i could decorate this little cliff ?🤷♀️
@short umbra like hybrid farms? I think having the flowers in checkered pattern works best if that’s what you mean
@woven drift only thing I can suggest is spreading out the drawings and maybe adding a sitting area or some sorta table
And btw you look like a school teacher so its very fitting outfit
Are the cushions cute for outdoor movie area? It still feels kinda empty to me
Some flowers/bushes or a hay bale always looks cute on cliffs
@woven drift
@woven drift thanks :)
@woven drift maybe some flowers and shrubs! You could even add in waterfalls as well! If you have a theme, you could add things related to that as well. Or nova lights, backward star clocks.
@vernal oxide hmmm yeah ill try the waterfall :D ty
@coral plaza I and many others hide the RS with a cliff and decorate around it, mine is 11 squares away but you could definitely do something similar with 9.
@short umbra like hybrid farms? I think having the flowers in checkered pattern works best if that’s what you mean
@vernal oxide yea like breeding flowers
Been having a ton of fun with cottagecore. It's an awesome stray away from my usual cut-and-dry tendencies.
That being said, I'm in need of fresh eyes with some usable advice/criticism. Willing to give away an extra lucky cat for those interested (truly dont know what else to do with it). Dm for details o/
Which looks better? I'm considering cobblestone casue I have designs I want to put down but since there transparent I can't use the pink path.
@timid sleet more cushions
My friend did an out door movie night a few times last year and the yard felt rather empty even with 20 some people there
Should I mix in some wooden benches or are just the cushions nice?
@willow elm I'm a sucker for cobblestone but the pink is certainly unique
Anyone have an idea for a cozy campsite?
@timid sleet I personally like the cushions, you could add some pile of zen cushions around to make it seem like there’s more seating as others come in to watch the movie !
@woven drift Same. I wanted to replicate New leaf, but I not sure if it matches like I want it to.
Cushions look cuter but benches look more professional
You could put some cushions right next to each other and space some apart
I love the idea to add a pile for extra cushions thank you!
Blankets as well
Get some rugs that look like blankets or towels
@willow elm go with your gut!
@exotic kite You have inspired me. I deleted my island and have started Gobwyn!
@woven drift only thing I can suggest is spreading out the drawings and maybe adding a sitting area or some sorta table
And btw you look like a school teacher so its very fitting outfit
@tender nova Thanks, Ill try that haha
@versed wadi actually?
I want a fence that matches the pavement
I want fence customizations
can i see y'all's outdoor marketplaces? i need ideas of what stalls to make (honey, clothing, plants, etc.)
How should I decorate lymans yard?
anyone have any cool ideas/images of a zodiac style park?
Which fence works better, the stone or corral? Or should I use an iron-and-stone fence?
@manic sigil yup
stone but maybe iron-and-stone would be better
@blissful schooner is that Raymond's house?
@versed wadi good luck i guess!
Yes it is Raymond’s house ^^ but the fence is for the whole neighborhood
This is the other cliff and I swear i dont know how to feel about it 🤷♀️
I think I’m gonna make a ton of iron and stone fencing
@blissful schooner this is my Raymond Estates!
Man raymond is rich on your island
My islanders have small yards because they pay taxes for public services like a restaurant and school lmao
And by taxes I mean I only have so much space sobs
@blissful schooner all my houses are 7x9 besides Raymond and my house!
anyone have inspiration for a stall market?
i'm LF stall market inspo too ^
Finally finished changing up my house and deck area
@exotic kite You have inspired me. I deleted my island and have started Gobwyn!
@versed wadi no wayyyy definitely let me know how it turns out :) do u know which Villagers u want?
@dusk cove @vagrant violet mine is small and isn’t the best. I need to change it a bit. But maybe it’ll help with inspo!
My cliff side market
oh cute! i was wondering what kind of stalls i could do such as honey, clothing, maybe plants, etc
okay now i’m super happy that i did end up flattening out my island 🥺
these are various stalls I’ve made so far, I did the designs myself so it took a while
love it
oh maybe a coffee stand! i see that in yours cohawk. thanks everyone for the inspo!
@raven granite Looks awesome!! What’s that green bench thing?
I’m thinking of adding a coffee stand and maybe a food stand but I need to upsize the market which is already big af
ooo a food stand why didn't i think of that?
@noble root it’s a hacked item, i’ve been told that we aren’t allowed to talk about those items which kind of sucks but wtv 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
My campsite owo
@raven granite is there a way to get that green bench or are those cheesy items?
@versed wadi no wayyyy definitely let me know how it turns out 🙂 do u know which Villagers u want?
@exotic kite not yet. but I'll keep you posted. Got the early grind to get through first 😦
@raven granite No worries! Yeah we can’t talk about hacked stuff😕
@exotic kite not yet. but I'll keep you posted. Got the early grind to get through first 😦
@versed wadi lmk if u need help :)
@versed wadi did you reset or do you have another switch?
oh haha
i mean you were just so proud of your current island, its hard to imagine you deleting it
Yeah I used my old switch and also a friend to help me transfer stuff
This is my campsite!
restarting cold is hard
My campsite owo
@winter granite I kinda have so little space but i still am not done 😐 I love ur campsite 😊
Area to the right of RS feels a little empty. What would you do with this space?
some garden benches!
hmm!
also @versed wadi if u want to catalogue gnomes I have a few
Well that did something! Not sure if it needs something more..
@woven drift ty!! Yours is looking cute so far, can't wait to see it when it's done!! 😊😊
@woven drift add leaf piles to fill some of the empty spaces!
redoing campsite 
Updated my playground after a few suggestions! Im just wondering, any opinions or more suggestions? :)
@winter granite 😊 I'll update you when its done
My entrance feels off is there anything I should change or add?
@woven drift try putting a different flooring instead of grass
My first large waterfall cliff. Still trying to learn how to make them😅
@clear skiff try putting some garden gnomes and more flowers 🤷♀️
@mighty field your FIRST?! from this photo i could never have guessed that haha! looks awesome~
Okay I’ll try that
@woven drift try putting a different flooring instead of grass
@clear skiff should I try to get some custom design flooring? Or just the regular terraforming, and which one if that? xD
@mighty field WOW i can't even make a river uwu
@woven drift I would use a different flooring and make it a bit smaller.
@mighty field its rlly pretty 😊
@woven drift probably dirt or dark dirt pathing
@woven drift probably dirt or dark dirt pathing
@clear skiff thanks!
No prob!
Where can i get some benches or garden decorations?
@woven drift I would use a different flooring and make it a bit smaller.
@mighty field Ill try to make it smaller, but I made it to fill up a space so Ill see. Thanks!
@storm bluff @woven drift thank you sm!!☺️☺️
(Awful phone quality but) threw in some more knick knacks. It's coming along! crazy what a leaf pile, a gnome and a couple fences does to a place
Star frag trees r edited btw
@sleek rover WOW NOW THATS MAGIC 😲🥰 I Luvvv it
Imagine if some mornings in game they would give you a foggy morning that’d be cool
Imagine if some mornings in game they would give you a foggy morning that’d be cool
@icy flint sheesh i wish
(Awful phone quality but) threw in some more knick knacks. It's coming along! crazy what a leaf pile, a gnome and a couple fences does to a place
@woven drift so cuteee
Imagine your cliffs on a foggy morning 🤤
@woven drift that is so cute I love the benches and flowers being around
@sleek rover prob first time seeing an edited pic with fog in it and it’s amazing and one of a kind lol
@icy flint that would be so pretty BUT the only thing I wish was a bigger home storage
Its thanks to @manic sigil and @exotic kite suggestions!
I made a 2nd profile and his story is nearly full because I'm a hoarder
Tbh I’m impressed with people who have a full storage but I do agree that they could add more storage and more slots
@icy flint @woven drift awhh thank u🐼💕💕 ;u;
It was supposed to be a little fairy boat pond but the boat didn’t look great so I opted to this. Should I change something else? Or maybe put something in?
@limber ginkgo lucky for me I always try to reuse my old furniture that’s in my storage for something I’m always making
@brave harness tbh looks perfect the way it is but what about some snapping turtles or any turtle there
Ooh that actually sounds good
ok now im going to get a new copy cause yall are so good
What do you guys think I should do with those empty lines?
@woven drift add flowers but before that add the dirt path underneath
@woven drift trees/shrubs/flowers! you can do a mix of them or pick one if you wanna
@woven drift
a cool flower pattern might be nice
@mighty field ooh where did you get those cute stump designs?
@woven drift you could also place a park bench, or a bike, a tiny library, trashcans or garbage bins,
Is it too overdecoreated XD ? Idk i don't rlly like it
Thank yall so much! I can't believe all the options I have now lol
My entrance 🌲🌺
@rapid surge thats so cuteee🥰
i want to make this a spot to watch stars and fireworks but i’m struggling with what else to add ://
@woven drift ty!
@rapid surge I'd love to see your map
Any ideas for my campsite??
@velvet solstice bench,telescope,flowers,fence,star fragments ...
Cafe💕
My map! ♥️
@oak thunder same✌ @rapid surge
@river badger heres @cobalt ice's campsite!
@rapid surge wow
Another shot 🌲🌲🌲🌲
@rapid surge i love this!! i hardly see an island rep house by the entrance so this is really nice to see~
@manic sigil that is soooo cuteee im in love with ur campsite🥰
@storm bluff Aw thank you!! I wanted it different than what i usually see!
@woven drift it isnt mine! its samantha's
@manic sigil oop srry
@oak thunder map posted above lol forgot to tag you haha sry
lol no worries!
I CAN NOT STAMD THIS ANYMORE 😤 i have soooo many clothes i gave half of them to my villagers and I still keep getting more clothes than furniture😪 i can't remember when was the last time i got furniture
@woven drift here is the creator Id☺️☺️
@woven drift you could just sell the clothes you arent using/ on your wand, you could reorder anything you need from the terminal in the resident services or the nook shopping app
Moving my campsite, any suggestions on furniture? Or any suggestions in general
@soft plaza yeah i could ty
I need help with my campsite would like to keep similar to what I have so far
@novel sluice here’s my campsite if you need inspo
Tysm! I need that furniture!
My campsite
DIY work station/lounge area
I have mine in the back left corner of my island. It’s a very large campsite with the tent switch account added
I just moved mine to the back right corner my house is in the left or I was gonna do that too
anyone know what i should do with this??
Is this better?
@lunar talon you could do a picnic! Or a library! But there’s a huge list of general ideas in the pinned section!
@lunar talon i did a little park and a snow cone shop on the two last areas that were available
what kind of bridge would you suggest if I'm bridging the campsite with a zen-style area?
here are all the bridges for context
So 1,5, or 7
Depends on the fence you want to use if any
Stone bridge gets my vote. The zen bridges are nice though
Stone bridge is more affordable too
I love the stone bridge with the zen fence
the natural zen bridge sounds like a good inbetween
hhrurughhghg what on earth do you put in a jocks garden that matches his interests but also fits the mushroom forest theme youre going for @_@
Flat wooden is super underused too. Has a lovely minimalist effect
@brave harness do you maybe have the design code for that pond?
hhrurughhghg what on earth do you put in a jocks garden that matches his interests but also fits the mushroom forest theme youre going for @_@
@ripe lintel I gave Dom workout equipment to match the flowers but it was easy because he has that rainbow aesthetic by default
@ripe lintel maybe you can put firewood and an axe!
@woven drift that’s the only bridge type i have on my island! I loooove the flat wooden one
hmmm ive tried that but it just looks too.....unnatural, i do have an aze and firewood though! trying to phase out the basketball set though since it looks too unnatural haha
Hey! I know this has to do a little with codes but what type of flooring do you think would go with my mall themed island? I'm thinking white but I'm not sure if it should be a plain tile, or bricks, or? Opinions please?
@ripe lintel it might be easier to give suggestions if you show us a pic of what you have!
hmmm many the natural climbing wall insert fairly odd parents meme IF I HAD ONE
@rapid surge I've also got a couple! The color is awesome and it really is an awesome design.
@woven drift
Finally got all cub villagers! Though would want to swap 2
@ripe lintel maybe some kettlebells would fit nicely
@rapid surge yess~ flat wooden bridges
@pseudo wigeon omg I have 3 cubs and I gave them a big teddy bear corner hahaha they’re so cute. I support this 1000%
i need help with designing this marketplace area. should i make the area less thin so i can fit more? i'm going to put stalls, tables, and places to sit
https://twitter.com/bloombug_acnh/status/1290780841300209664?s=20
I think I'm going to make this area a marketplace but it seems a bit thin... tips? #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/pzTjOoB8ml
its bam and his fav colour is green but his section just looks so out of place with the rest of the island
@young birch I wish they had a smug cub...I also need to figure out how to make it more cubby
I think you pinged the wrong person lmao
@ripe lintel you could def add in some shrubs! And maybe a protein shake on the table!
@dusk cove hmm, i think if you put things in their own areas, like this 2x6 area is for sitting, etc... you can fit enough things to make it a good looking marketplace i think
oh true! i forget the shrubs exist, and protein shake is an idea i just....only have a pink one right now ahsjdkkf doesnt really go with his colour scheme lmao
@ripe lintel have you heard of trading my friend
@ripe lintel you could always also look on nookazon or #furniture-trade
ive traded for so many things and yet the things i end up needing are not what ive gotten yet lmao
the thing is i can make it bigger if i wanted to. i guess i'll try decorating and see what i think and then come back for more tips
@ripe lintel trade for the things you need now then
one day ill have all the furniture lmao
@pseudo wigeon theyre the absolute cutesttttt. This is the bridge to my cub area. And it’s the CUTEST
@dusk cove good luck 
Im scared of the giant bears..
thanks!
@ripe lintel if you use nookazon you can look for the exact item and the coloring your need in that item!
@woven drift lmao why 😂
@vernal oxide that is adorable!
Giant bears are guardians of islands.
@pseudo wigeon I have stitches, Judy and Pekoe. So Judy and stitches I left in the front closest to the bridge. And then there’s a staircase that leads up to Pekoe and her own area. And I scattered little teddy bears around and in Pekoe’s little area is has the pandas!
Idk they’re creeping me out
@woven drift theyre giant teddy bears 😂 but okay
The personally prefer the small ones
I will need to place teddy bears around my whole island or try a cub shaped lake or something
@pseudo wigeon yesss! Omg if you post pics in here of what you do mention me!!
I will! Promise
Finished Wade’s garden!
looks good
I've slowly been phasing out the mermaid stuff out of Audie's yard and adding exercise gear because that's all she does
My giant teddy wears my towns stripes and sits bravely on the pier fighting off dangerous sea beasts
my new stargazing/ firework spot :))
@limber ginkgo aww i use to have Audie! Love her, and that is so perfect for her!
@velvet solstice wow! Turned out beautifully !
I don’t know what to put next, I can extend the path
@modern fox i personally like laying down the path before starting to decorate around it, gives me an idea of what the area will look like
Opinions/thoughts on my little playground? 
Bluebears house
Cute detail: I made a lil spot next to my resident services for dreamers so I could have an area to place tools. I made a pattern code for a map of my island and put it on the stacked magazines DIY for a little pile of maps
really been into the tiny details lately.
I wish I had space for something like that but I walled my RS off :c
@woven drift looks a lot better with the dirt path underneath!
@hoary epoch same tbh lmao
This area was empty til the update came out! Was so glad to have a reason to put something there
@woven drift looks a lot better with the dirt path underneath!
@storm bluff :D
I have this akward thin space between my residential area and the back of the museum (museum is on a cliff, so the space looks “deep”). Any ideas on what to do with it? I tore down my original island and started over, hence why its incomplete
@tawdry frigate idk what the room looks like but you could display Dino’s or I’ve seen others do a dig site behind their museum
Its too thin to actually “display” anything@vernal oxide
workin on my campsite and 🥺
@tawdry frigate you could try a water fall? Or a secret pathway to something else ? Otherwise you might have to leave it as it is or move the residential area back some
@vernal oxide i like the pathway idea! I could do the rock garden next to it on the right so it would actually make sense?!
what does every island need?
i raymond
ok
@tawdry frigate this is my museum if that helps
@vernal oxide added bears to my entrance to my house!
@pseudo wigeon it’s soooo cuteeeee !!
haha thats so cute
@vernal oxide they guard the island
Just finished my entrance! Figured I'd post it for fun ~
@woven drift I love it!
@woven drift beautiful!
eeeee tysm!!!
I like how its unique
and the zen fence! i never would have thought of that
theres actually waterfalls on both sides! i can post more pictures if you guys wanna see!
Id show you my entrance but, I uh cant take pictures with a computer
@woven drift Ahh thats so pretty I dont have a lot of space in my entrance unless I move a ton of stuff
@nocturne crescent I think you can send the switch pictures to twitter for fb and you might be able to save them to your computer (but idk how true that is) you could always do discord to your phone!
oh or I could just get my mobile device
My island redoing is going really well! 🙂 ty guys for all the support
this is the correct one
@manic sigil thats gorg!!
This is my entrance with fireworks since we’re sharing 👀
@grand ore thank you so much ~
Im going to do a cottagecore theme, what should I add in?
oooh i also took a picture with fireworks but its in my switch and im logged off now 😭
🙂 anyone have any items to go with a japanese style island?
Lucky cat
@manic sigil I took more pictures and my power is out so I can’t send them to my phone rn 😭
rip :(
wetsuit shop on the north end of my island 
heres the front half of my entrance which leads to the other picture with the moon fountain!
Everyone has such large entrances I'm mad jealous!
So am i
@nocturne crescent theres a list of general ideas in the pinned section you could fit cottagecore theme. Items used for cottagecore could be in this list
@vernal oxide Tysm!
@limber ginkgo okay i truly thought you somehow glitched the anchor into the water and i was like 👀
@young birch mine isn’t that big but made do
@limber ginkgo okay i truly thought you somehow glitched the anchor into the water and i was like 👀
@vernal oxide I forgot to put a line separating the two images 😂 😂 😂
Does anyone have any of those arrow signs?
The angled signs?
Yeah
I do
Ive got two of the items so far bc ive only done the entrance
@slender steeple the sign posts? You can try and buy one from #furniture-trade or ask someone to craft in #player-services this is not the channel for that conversation
Ok!
better pic (from yesterday) of my fixed flower field, it used to be such a mess
@slender steeple or get a diy from #diy-trade!
uh oh static is angry
Ook!
Bob made him mad
I need some opinions and tips! What can I do to make this look better?
@frigid nimbus add garden benches!
I need some opinions and tips! What can I do to make this look better?
@frigid nimbus
maybe putting mum cushions, a little seating area with books or some more flowers
@frigid nimbus you could def add some shrubs!
np haha
ok i think she’s finally coming along- maybe? 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
@vernal oxide that guide needs to be sold on etsy as like a pack or something
@nocturne crescent it’s a super helpful guide someone made. As well as the list in the pinned section. Just like I made one with a friend for beach ideas as well. We just hope people use them and share them and it helps others haha
campsite progress! added path & trees
@raven granite oh she’s definitely coming along 😍
Thoughts?
Ok so im pretty happy with my ablea. Should i do nooks above the able sister shop or at the side but separated by a river?
Upright Version of My Island, What do ya think?
@magic oriole I put my Ables on top of my Nooks! I like that idea
anyone have pictures of what you did with your rocks? like the big ones on the beach sorry lol! that was a lil unclear!
omg wrong rocks sorry lol i shoulda clarified
does anyone have examples of pirate warfare on their islands? i'm surprised i haven't seen any islands with that going on, literally all i've seen so far has been pirate cove/cannons on rocks or just ships
Anyone have a idea how to get to 3 stars
@formal jacinth flowers, furniture, fences
Ok
Island is Disney inspired. Full resort, since we can’t travel to the real thing 😢
This was fun to create! 🥰
omg thats super cool!
@sinful surge your towns missing a dream address tho
@formal jacinth talk to Isabelle. There’s also a star guide in the pinned section
yeah i would love to visit it
I’m giving out dream address privately, DM me if interested! Yaaay 💕
@sinful surge amazing island
anyone know good chairs/tables that look japanese styleish that i can put here
Before and after! Still not sure about the path design 😀
@drifting hearth bamboo bench but im not really sure about a table
thanks
@rocky egret I loveeee the tile 😍😍
@drifting hearth you can use the kotatsu or tea table for a table and cushions/zen cushions/floor seats as the chairs~
@rocky egret tangyyyy
ooh @storm bluff
@rocky egret tangyyyy
@tropic vapor yeah tangy 😭
Could someone maybe doodle ty be river stream for me? I’m clueless on what to do for it-
What fence?
country or lattice @silver holly
Which paths looks best next* to the arched tile path? 
ooo does looks pretty neat 
@plucky inlet brick, especially bc the bridge
@plucky inlet brick, especially bc the bridge
@tropic vapor oo right I forgot about the bridge lol yeah, probably donna do brick to match it. thank youuu
i’ve always been a sucker for brick so maybe it’s bias
yeah i think the brick would def match!
yeah do brick! I forgot I don't like the wood used as pathing.
i think the dark wood is only good for cafes haha
yeah its definitely a "plaza" Ordeal
its weird how it can look so good when used in excess but used for pathing it looks odd
i made the mistake of using it as my first "main" pathing which was a bad decision but now i have a city theme with roads lol @eager burrow
I sure do hope they add more paths one day, thats be a huge update thatd be easy to implement
yeah that would be amazing
ooh okay, thank you everyone! 😊
Anyone have any idea what to do for an enchanted forest? For the entire island I mean.
Have big areas hidden by trees to reward adventures
@zinc mauve im going for a similar style just foresty and not the enchanted part but for enchanted imo i would say add mush lamps, green or purple mums, or some sort of flower
@icy flint Ooo
@rocky egret do you have the code for the paths that you used they look amazing!
Started my island yesterday thiught of making a lil chill zone to hang by the fire
Lol im bad at custom design rocks
Thinking bout moving it to the beach if i got palm trees
anyone know of any good ways to make a natural looking river? any guides or tips out there? i'm having a heck of a time trying to terraform by river to give it more natural curves / turns
Made this lil beachy campfire, what do you guys think? :D
I already am noticing a stark contrast between Lucky and Merry’s houses...
@cosmic condor this is a good water guide, the best advice for it to look natural, though, is just to make it random and messy https://twitter.com/saltspringac/status/1275977670493261824
BOTW apple statues 🍎
if anyone has yard designs for the following villagers, i’d love to see them!! im having a really hard time designing them :/

@main bear
Yea using flowers matching villager colour looks good
I don't have Raymond anymore but this was his yard! I posted Dom's a little while ago
should i put a house in the zen bamboo forest?
Zen should be chill so unless its big then not really
If you do id put chester the panda there

@main bear I tried giving Apollo something that would match the inside of his house (sorry for the spam, why can't you batch upload on pc like on mobile 😭)
My market place.
my campsite was already planned to be there so your right
so i might move the shops into a second lvl right behind rs & like in the middle a small little hangout spot, what do y’all think?
@limber ginkgo gurl it’s okay!!! i just really need ideas 😂 i’m stumped!!!!
Honestly a music-themed exterior would also fit for Apollo because he sings a lot
@reef cobalt that a custkm path or design?
Guys I need help
@rich briar what’s up?! 🙂
So this is the display I made behind my house but putting my house in front of it completely covers it up :((
oh no 😟
@rich briar maybe put it to the side?
I think that's your best option, unless you can terraform a higher platform behind the house so the moon/statues are visible
Didnt know they would put david without a leaf there in animal crossing
I'm looking for some help, friends. This is Sherb's yard and I'm not a really digging the path around the flowers. Any suggestions for what I should replace it with? Keep it grass? Or move the flowers?
hmm change it to grass?
i did this for apollo
ok ty guys for the help I’ll probably just put my house next to it :))
@limber ginkgo Is it an actual path to walk on, or are you using it more as a border for the flowerbed?
sorry this is late lol, @rich briar you could put your house next to it and put some chairs there!!
moreso a border for the flowers so they don't get out of control (which is possible because sherb is nature)
Maybe you could add a fence on the south side of the flowers and tie the fence in to his yard? to make the flowers feel more like his. Then you could decorate a bit more on the north side to prevent them from growing. Or, just use a transparent pattern to trap them (if you have one) 😂 @limber ginkgo
(Nowhere near done) so happy someone thought of the land bridge idea! I wanted sherb’s house on the peninsula, the campsite in the bottom left on the beach where it’s biggest, and a forest/nature park behind the campsite, but it wasn’t working because resident services is so close. Excited to show you when I decorate it 🙂
I had a transparent pattern but got rid of it for other designs
ty for the help though! I like the idea of fencing it into his yard
@deep spear omg I thought I was the only one who made Apollo an actual astronaught haha
I gave Apollo red white and blue flowers cause he's the American Eagle
this is my stargazing area, still a wip but so far it’s coming out pretty good:)
I’m still confused on this area, I would put down more houses but I dont know
Look more like a castle this time? :-) I've been working all day lmao
Better photo. Which customization on the house? Left or right?
i like right!
@celest minnow thank you ♡ I just have to move a mailbox and put up one more panel :-)
Its completely different vibes than before but it's pretty sick now. Almost like a party mansion or something
@eager burrow thank you ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ I did some from the photo you shared and some of my own creations :-)
Yeah i like how unique it is now, nobody has a castle quiet like yours
It was a tonnnnn of work! Lol
yeah you are using a lot of rare items for it too
Hi can someone help me? I have a narrow and long strip of land and idk what to do with it... it’s also connected to the beach and it’s at the bottom of my island next to my entrance and a river. What do I do with it?
@last owl make a little nature trail? Rocks, shrubs, trees if they fit, flowers, etc.
which one should i do? i’m setting a little garden area here
@woven drift maybe put the garden in first and see which looks better once it's there?
@earnest spoke Looks great man, maybe add some bushes, trees, and flowers to really spice up that glowing blood aesthetic you got going
Anybody have any ideas for a space exhibit by a museum?
@earnest spoke just warning you you can get stung by posting pics like this

Anybody have any ideas for a space exhibit by a museum?
@tired arrow you can take lots inspo from real life space exhibits if you look up "museum space exhibit"! Put a few Celeste space items down a line with rope fencing, maybe some space-y custom design path in the area, and info boards made from customized simple panels :)
What’s going on 👀
<@&494448231036747777>
Midsummer area ☀️💐💛
@plain forge did not know you can do that haha
@icy flint lmaoo I only learned it a few weeks ago when there was a public dispute on this channel 👁️👄👁️
Thank you. I forgot how to do it.
Is anyone able to help me with some things for my island would be amazing pls dm
the more ya know lol was dming the bot and you just tagged them instead hah a
@rapid estuary send some pics so we can see
Well I just want to learn how to do flooring
you need to get 5 stars on your island before you can terraform and lay down paths
It’s 3 stars
3 stars
oopsie my b its 3 lol was tryna mention the terraforming as well
Also, If anyone has a music venue area/lounge, can i see pls
I want this
<@&494448231036747777>
And get this 😭
Got it.
@rapid estuary ohhhh my advice would probably be to go ask #custom-design-help🎨 they can help more, and from the picture it may look edited to enhance it
But how do I get like the non grass around it ?
If it is near water you will get a grass edge
Oh ok thanks ❤️
need some advice for my museums maze should i remove the flowers and put the hedges near the water?
i like the flowers personally
@icy flint I like the flowers, but it'll look better with a dirt path under it imo
Eh, also depends if you want the maze bigger or not by one square over or not too
@plain forge was moving things so i didnt wanna place it down just to remove it kinda thing
ill prob leave the flowers but add different ones like purple pansies and green mums, and add some trees in between the hedges for shade
thank you for the advice
@main bear ty appreciate the help 😅
Hey i need an opinion, Should a ramp in a cottagecore island be a wooden ramp or a dirt ramp?
@frigid nimbus That depends are you goinf for a natural type of cottagecore or a more live in style
@young widget np
Ty
So I got terraforming the other day, and I've yet to use it. I'm going to plan on how I want my island to look before changing it. My question is -- how much freedom do you have with it? Can you completely reconstruct your rivers? Sorry if that's a stupid question
yeah u can and you cliffs too @feral crater
my rivers are completely different from my begining
@feral crater You can change the rivers on land as much as you want, but you can't change the river mouths (:
for my maze should i leave it with grass or put down a pathway?
Tysvm! I know what theme I want for my island, but I'm really stuck on where I want everything to go
Similarly, you can't terraform the beach
going from cottagecore to urban , any recomendations?
oh wow bratty perfect timing get ready for a new maze 
@swift palm saw this on youtube a couple days a go, its basically an urban cottagecore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I97XSm_ydWI

@stuck trail okay lets keep the expectations lower than that haha
ooh i might try putting utility poles around my island ive been looking for a detail like that to make my island come together more
Hey guys, I'm looking for an island I Know I watched on YT where near the airport they set up a real neat mailroom. Anyone know it?
I Am Looking for Any Southern Hemisphere Island Ideas Cause Idk What To Do On My Island ;-;
@woven drift haha don’t worry we will have grass soon, I can’t wait for green grass
@burnt osprey Yes
I mean I just make whatever I think looks cute😅
This is how my island looks at the moment. I haven't done any terraforming. I'm hoping to have a small town, but also urban vibe. I have a pretty good idea of how I want things to look in terms of aesthetics, but I honestly have no idea where I'm going to put everything. (I'm probably going to move everything from where it currently is). I want to, hopefully, work off of what I have right now (I do want to terraform, but I don't want to completely redo all of my rivers lol) Any advice?
@woven drift There's a list of ideas in the pins - if you want to make them extra southern hemisphere-y, just put "frozen" in front of the idea name 😂
@stuck trail Ok Thx xD
@woven drift If you're looking for tours, you can try finding a southern hemisphere island in #dream-addresses🌜
Make a nice campfire area it was fun to make 😅
@burnt osprey omg that’s the best camp site I’ve seen
@burnt osprey Awww I love that path with the snow 🥺
@rich briar omg Tysm🥺🥺
@stuck trail Ty! I was worried it would look weird with snow tbh
No, it looks so good!! Like it's almost spring and the snow is starting to melt around the edges 
Eche I Cant Find Anything ;-;
I can’t wait to have grass tbh
Same 🤣
I'm excited for snow 🤭
That’s good!
Im Dead ;-;
I’m pretty proud of what I’ve made so far, above the campsite is a mushroom forest area and above that will by my house (when I move it)
@woven drift what can’t u find? Inspo?
Idk EEEEEK
I swear by Pinterest I get 90% of my inspo from there because I’m not too creative
@burnt osprey whats the qr code for the green pathway? i love what you did btw!!
Like u will find so many amazing designs on there ! For almost any type of theme
@shell flicker Tysm! This is it
@burnt osprey I Found A DA
A what?
any ideas for what i could add to my shopping center area that arent stalls?? idk what kind of areas would be cool and interesting there:)
Oh dream address
Dream Address Ima Check It Out Is Southern Tooooo
@burnt osprey thank uu!! ❤️
I've had this bridge here way before I decided to decorate the canal area with a more euro aesthetic... Question is, should I swap out the bridge for a different color or does the blue look fine bc I don't dislike it (esp since the fencing on both sides are iron) 
@plain forge It Look Great
i like that bridge!!
@burnt osprey do you have a DA? I'd like to see your creations!
@woven drift @icy sparrow ty!! That's reassuring 
Oh wow 🥺 I don’t have one but I can make one! A lot of my island is unfinished tho and have a lot of overgrown flowers@iron jay 😅
Does anyone have an image of the back of their town hall? need a few ideas ^^
Hey guys so I finally completely finished my residential area 🥺🥰
i have a neon island, but never got around to this area. should i get rid of it to keep the theme or should it stay?
@sick pulsar i think you should remove the flowers since it doesnt match the rest of the theme...maybe if you want to keep flowers on there you can replace with pink and black roses/cosmos to match the neon theme you have going?
would anyone be willing to come to my island in a dream to help me think of an idea for my shopping area ??:)
Would Anyone Want To Come To My Island In A Dream To Help Me Relocate My Buildings ?????
???????
@rich briar so gorgeous 😍😍
@burnt osprey yay!
@sick pulsar at night tho some of the flowers and those pears look neon! So I think it's ok not to get rid of All the flowers
Does anyone have a scorpion/tarantula farm on their island?
Just made this little fancy- ish area where I’ll have stone staircases besides the t. Rex leading up to my museum above it
Hey guys so I finally completely finished my residential area 🥺🥰
@rich briar your area is really pretty! do you mind sending the video to me? i was trying to do something similar but didn't think it would look good!
@rich briar you’re residential is beautiful!!!
Hey guys if Anyone has a pretty fairy core island can you please Dm me? I want to turn my island into one and I would like to get visited to receive tips regarding specific locations... I would like to make it almost unrecognizable while keeping 80% of the original layout so that moving around remains easy
Cafe so far
@pale tangle @void venture omg tysm guys I really appreciate the nice comments makes the hours worth while ❤️🥺
Hiii, if anyone has yard ideas for the dudes I’d appreciate the inspo🥺👉🏽👈🏽
So I need an opinion. I have two pictures and I wanna know if I should keep The Path or the circle stones. My theme is cottagecore/gothic. (even though my clothes show otherwise(
@cloud thorn the path!
i also think the path fits better! but i love them both!!
can i visit anyone’s island? i could give u feedback and I could get inspiration ?
if i were to move nooks cranny & the able sisters into a 2nd lvl area, should i do it where they are with a little hangout area in between or or the sides of my airport? I NEED HELPPPP I CANT DECIDE 😔
or does it look fine where it is
@woven drift I think it looks fine where it is! If you still wanted to raise them onto a second level area, I'd raise them where they are and use the little hangout area idea~
Small fishing wip by my dock :)
how do we feel about the bakery.
The cake hats are really cute
You know, @frigid otter , there are actual cakes you can get from "Mom" that you can customize. Also maybe you can use the birthday cupcakes you get on your birthday too
my birthday isnt until november and i dont wanna travel that far :0
Well, its always on the table. Dont forget the mom cakes :3
(idk if its full size but u may have to click on it)
Chadder enjoying his new cheese restaurant 😋
@rain glen that was a great pun (always on the table)
@rain glen Thats awesome!
@potent quartz hahaha i love it 🇵🇭
@rain glen Awesome
@storm bluff thank u 🙂
Thanks! Took lots of wood to make
Hi I need opinions on my entrance should I add anything else
I can’t wait until I finally have grass because I finished my bamboo area but it look 10 times better in the grass (I have snow)
@obtuse plover your entrance looks so good! are you planning to decorate the cliff on the right? that's the only thing I would suggest, the rest of it looks awesome 😊
Yea I'm not done yet with the cliff on the right, Thanks for the response!
any suggestions on how to decorate this? its a very small space, and im going for a more woodsy theme
my current map layout rn still needa work on the right side
and believe or not this is a full month difference lol
anyone have inspo for those small waterfall/mountain things?
@mystic talon I think adding lots of trees and shrubs could make it feel woodsy, maybe some bug models or toy bugs and piles of leaves as well
Hey guys I just finished my store area it’s not too extravagant but I like how it turned out, what are your guys thoughts ?
@mystic talon use the throwback dinosaur stand, and some small little fossils
thank you! @lilac knoll
Does anyone else stress out when working on your island that you won’t have enough space to do everything you want 😅
What colour scheme of flowers should I put here
i've been looking for a way to implement erik's cozy mountain cottage into my island,, does anyone have any references or ideas for that?? i can't find anything 😢 this isn't for his house btw, i just want to have a little area for him to chill at ❤️
just reached 5 stars
also idk what to do with that little space above the able sisters
this one
Did you want to make that a playground area ?
no i just moved stuff from another part of the island there
@exotic kite do you mean these like I have on either side?
@burnt osprey you could always do a big rainbow. If you want you might find a good color grouping you like within this link: https://linktr.ee/wolfieofhoneywood
@sly mica you could always turn it into a little sewing area since it’s above Ables!
I have this small area next to my flower patch, anything I can do to improve it?
I might try to find a pink pattern for the picnic carpet.
can anyone show me their garden areas if they have one?
@woven drift flower gardens?
@woven drift what kind of garden? like flower or crops kinda?
crops you can use one of those beach balls that looks like a watermelon
customize mum cushions white to get cauliflower
whatever type of garden, just looking for inspiration lol
@woven drift idk if you’ve seen this before. I have a rainbow flower garden split by a cliff you can walk through
mine is quite small but I put a bunch of flower-related diys
heres what i did w all my flowers that didnt fit my theme
@woven drift and then here’s a small farm I did recently
i didn't think i would add a star gazing area but i actually did and it came out quite nice
@woven drift farm in general, I'm going to fix it and a bit. Crafting one more mum cushion and using nursey coconut for some
these are all beautiful, tysm fo sharing 🙂 🤍
come see my work in progress japanese simple and clean island
@sly cape just curious. What’s the right side? You could always switch the yellow mums for hyacinths to be corn! And pink cosmos for purple hyacinths to be lavender
@vernal oxide I think it was just an empty area where I plopped down flowers (for crafting) since I was fixing the flower field added a beekeeper's hive cause why not- but yeah I'm going to take that into account, ty for the suggestion
Any entrance recommendations?
anyones shop open and trailor its late here doest matter the season looking for shopping :D
@woven drift #mysterybags-and-yardsales #690093605821480980
@woven drift you could do a cliff middle to the left to kind of block the view of the RS and then add some other cliffs around for walkways!
@woven drift you can also use #694794156697976934
Can you think of what to put here? It can’t block the path because it connects to a mother area and it’s convenient for going to the beach. I’m blocked.
@safe basalt theres a list of ideas in the pinned section! You can never go wrong with a picnic or a cute seating area!
Ehh I may slow down on building my island kinda getting tired and I already have my headphones away + I'm too lazy
anyone have nice little bike rental places?!
@warped sentinel this is from @versed wadi who has a very gorgeous island!
cuteee!
Not much but proud of this little area
Trying to figure out what to put here i have the list of ideas already but I'm still drawing a blank
butterfly models and flowers and a birch bench!
@vestal snow maybe you can make that a small view place or stargazing area with some crescent moon chairs, nova lights and backwards star clocks!
@warped sentinel @vernal oxide those are both really good ideas ill try both and see what works best thanks!
Ankha’s yard I changed a bit!
FLEX lmao
Finally got my power back. Here’s some photos I took from the fireworks show that i never got to post!
Does anyone have an area on there island for villagers you miss?
the plan for my island, opinions? also i really need to know how to fill the empty space
So the area in the middle I have as little islands. Should I keep as is or make it one big island?? I like both ideas 😅😂
@humble spoke I love that you put the resident services far!! You could make a pretty cool pathway to it with cliffs and rivers 😍 as for the empty space. What is your theme you are going for?
What color floor lights would look great by the statues?
@steady fern normal nothing really special
@steady fern btw i can dm you how my island looks like at the moment its NOTHING like the one in the picture
@humble spoke hmmm a lot of trees. Maybe a cafe or marker area would be cool! Oh maybe a secret pond! 😍 lol and yes send it to me and I could probably come up with some more ideas
@wet ore white or blue
Made another area for my ducks~
Does anyone knwo a good radio/music played for a cottage core themed island?
This is my surf shop :), don’t mind Raymond taking a nap in the back haha
And here is my entrance 🙂
What should I do with this space? To my right is a path leading from the airport to the center of town. Then there's a garden center and the store.
Have u checked out the pins? theres a list of ideas there
@abstract kelp Would you happen to have a dream address? ur island looks stunning from the pics you've sent
Thanks :)
@woven drift
@stoic pawn Thank you! I don't sorry! I'm not even close to being 10% complete. I'm just posting areas I've finished but everything else is bare at the moment. As soon as I open it up for tours, I'll let you know~
all g!! ty!
@woven drift that is really pretty! thank you for sharing :))
@woven drift thanks!! Its the botanical garden, just in front of the museum 🥰 an easy way to have all kind of flowers together
I just finished decorating the outside of my house (castle)! 🧜♀️
Thoughts on this flower scheme? Or any other ideas of colours
Can this be salvaged? The museum is doing my head in
@rich tree maybe it’s too hidden? So try and remove the middle two on the higher level
Hey, Im interested in how people decorated just behind their resident services? I've been going for a very foresty vibe
does anyone have the same river mouths as mine? i need some inspiration on how they should run though my island.
@burnt osprey I’m trying to make it look like the castle from castle in the sky 😦 I kind of wanted just the opening there but it’s offcentre which is throwing the whole vibe off 😦
Can this be salvaged? The museum is doing my head in
@rich tree The problem is that the museum is seven wide with the entrance in the center, and the incline is two wide. What I’ve seen most people do is use two inclines leading directly up to it. Or you can put the incline(s) on the sides left and right? But then they are more hidden and not so much a feature
Wish there was an option for a three wide incline 😭
@outer juniper I’m wondering if I should move it up a level? The opening is based off of this and I really don’t know if the museum can fit in to this :/ thank you tho!
The museum is 3 wide cus it's too good for just 1 incline
Loosely based btw, I’m trying to recreate this but it’s hard :’)
Yeah you’d have to make the base bigger if you want to put it up another level, do you have space for that? Or plant trees around it/have a third level just behind the museum just big enough to plant some trees?
@outer juniper I think I should have enough space to do that! I just really wish the museum wasn’t so frustrating :’) thank you so much for all the advice
👍 Good luck!
Museum plaza on Evergreen ft my boi Rodeo!
Thank you! I’m never doing another ghibli film on my island again :’) this is taken so much energy out of me
@surreal stag my map
@woven drift thank you!
@surreal stag I also have two south rivers, I used the one on the right to make my house feel cozy and secluded.
sorry if this is a dumb question, but can anyone show me on a map what areas of the island you see when you’re flying over?? I want to make a cute area for people to see from above when they visit but am not quite sure where exactly to place the display - is it right behind residential services?
does anyone have the same river mouths as mine? i need some inspiration on how they should run though my island.
@surreal stag I have the same river mouths but I closed one up
@mild dock I think it’s different for everyone. I have 2 switches and both flyovers are different. I have one that flys over directly my RS and the other one just barely hits the bottom right corner of my RS
@mild dock I think it’s different for everyone. I have 2 switches and both flyovers are different. I have one that flys over directly my RS and the other one just barely hits the bottom right corner of my RS
@twilit lintel interesting! I’ll have to take a fly over my island then haha - thank you ☺️
Hey, Im interested in how people decorated just behind their resident services? I've been going for a very foresty vibe
@grim oyster I put a botanical garden behind mine but you can incorporate something more natural
It's probably based on where your airport is, right? @twilit lintel
@eager burrow I’m not sure honestly. It might be. Like maybe go from the airport to slight diagonal to the right @mild dock
https://i.imgur.com/rGGZjCz.jpeg
An idea for my rock garden but I realized that inclines are two spaces wide so now it won't be centered
i just checked and mine goes from the airport to the back right of my map, so right behind RS us where i need to do it :) i’m thinking of putting like a moon-garden with celeste items but not sure how to go about it or what it would be called in order to look up pics online haha
does anyone have any cute moon-themed gardens or pastel gardens they can show off?
@twilit lintel @eager burrow thank you!
@manic prawn you wouldn't really see the rocks too well from the center path anyways. That apps camera is panned out a lot more than in game.
What app is that?!
Should I put a dirt path under the flowers? Or leave it as it is (Will be doing the same flowers on the right side too just haven’t finished)
@burnt osprey yes I think dirt paths make them stand out better. I would alternate colors of the dirt for each row so that way your snow comes through in between
@gaunt snow ok ty should I do it like the top way or bottom way?
bottom i think
@gaunt snow https://bobacupcake.itch.io/island-planner
@eager burrow Yeah I'm just gonna get rid of all the cliffs
Ok thanks
there's also https://eugeneration.github.io/ which is way less graphics intensive since it's 2D only
@manic prawn i made a 2 level rock garden
oooh that's very pretty
@woven drift do you have a dream address. Your photos always look awesome
seconded lol
@versed wadi @manic prawn thanks!! Sure I have!
@burnt osprey the bottom way!
@manic prawn thanks for the website link! I’ve used happy designer a lot for all my island makeovers but it’s hard to really understand size/perspective. So this new site will be useful!
No problem. Using the app on the website is really slow so you'll definitely want to download the program on your computer.
@woven drift That's really cool you had your dream during a thunderstorm. The museum area is so cozy
I keep redecorating my old areas.
So gorgeous @fringe garden
My internet randomly decided to work with my switch today so I took the chance to upload some photos. (I time traveled to get sakura trees)
There should be a rule in this chat that if your island is too pretty you have to provide a dream address
@woven drift WOW, wait, are the rivers on your map supposed to represent a stickman?
@fringe garden did you time travel to next year? Or earlier this year
@fringe garden do u have a code for the little circle paths in the 3rd pic?? tysm!! 💗
@sterile cypress I time traveled a year ahead, but either works. Sakura season is sadly so short.
thank you sm
Well now i have all my villagers and my graveyard is finished the nasty grave is Raymonds and i am crying for the graves with incent burners and only them (their are only 2 incent burners)
@woven drift hahaha not on purpose but yes it kinda look like! 😁
@quick iris I love that 😂
@worn ruin thank you
Anybody who can share their marketplace layouts?
What should i add here? I was thinking of adding another pair or table and chairs but im open to other suggestions.
Can anyone help me with my zen garden? (1st pic) also It looks ugly on map because of the water how do i avoid that? (2nd pic) Pls dm me your feedback to improve it, Or just text it here
Hi im looking for some inspiration for a yard for sherb send me some pics or some ideas
Hi im looking for some inspiration for a yard for sherb send me some pics or some ideas
@austere viper
That looks so cute 😍
Diffuser stand
my museum so far! need to add more floor lights
Does anyone know a good idea for a library/lecture hall/something I have this much space
does anyone have any ideas on how to make pillar-like structures? tryna make a castle themed entrance inspired heavily by illyria
@hybrid garnet I'd definetly add bookshelves in the back, maybe also put books on the ground to make it more convincing. The train set doesn't really fit imo, so I'd make it into a reading area instead.
what can i add here?
market place?
have plenty of stalls but dont know how to place them
what can i add here?
@fossil fog fountain and tables and chairs
did that before i deleted it
Ok
but ty
@fossil fog That's a lot of space, so maybe fence off a nice big area and make a cafe or a pool & tiki bar area, or a park/playground
@fossil fog how about a busking area? a mic, acoustic guitar and maybe you can use rovers briefcase as like a place for “tips” 😊
Anyone have any ideas for this? I already have a zen garden, camp area, regular garden and playground. I want more room for a music area and gym so it has to be something small
Where should I move my ables? 1 or 2 🤔 I’m probably gonna move the campsite aswell btw
@hallow knoll thanks!
@proven kayak ty!
@wooden gulch This is my castle entrance. I don't know about Pillars other than the Ice pillars I just used silos and panels.
Does anyone know what flowers to put with my Green mums? I already red Hibiscuses, and when in bloom they look good together, but I have no idea what other flower colours I could use.
@mystic minnow How did you get the diffusers ?
@haughty swan it’s a dream gyroid
I hcked it
Hi just finished my entrance so proud of it
@obtuse plover looks great!
looks orange!
@hallow knoll well thats because of the game, not really because of their decoration (other than a few flowers)
Arent the trees orange?
@obtuse plover looks great!
@manic sigil Thanks!
@hallow knoll yes thats what im saying, its not like they had much choice of making the trees orange or not, only where to place them
oh
the ground turning yellow is a much better example
Can people send me their villager houses?? I need inspo for my neighbourhood
any ideas for this area? left is a farming area and campsite, right is my flower field
Library?
garden cafe would be cute too
LIBRARY CAFE🥺 thanks!!
@jade tulip do you want the villager guide layout? (There’s a picture of you need help with that) or is there specific villagers you wanted to see?
hello! i wanted to ask, other than the usual villager yard ideas (i.e. garden/library/picnic/playground) what else have you guys done? i'm doing up individual yard designs now but it's sooo hard!
i made my dobie have dumbledore’s office as garden! but its not done
@shell grotto I gave Merengue a bakery. Raymond and Diana a bookstore/art store. Ankha has a yard dedicated to her.
I made stitches a tea party but still wip
@shell grotto I just make their yards suit their houses/personality
ahhhh those are gorgeous! @vernal oxide
@burnt osprey but there are limited personality/hobbies right? most are education/nature/fashion etc
Oh man, I'm working on a beachside diner right now.
I can send u a video here or dm you of my villager yards if u want @shell grotto
hehe sure, whatever works best!! @burnt osprey ❤️
@shell grotto don’t mind the unfinished yard and some of the overgrown flowers
gah the playgrounds are so cute! thank you for the video @burnt osprey
@shell grotto ty!! And np hope it helps 😅

@median belfry use #dream-addresses🌜
Hi, trying to decide on which rock garden I want to go for. I’m thinking the first one just so I don’t have any left over space in a compact area, while the 2nd one might work for a spa area. Thoughts?
@carmine wagon I like the second one. You could put a cute center piece like a statue or something
Yeah that sounds cool! Ok I’ll plan out the area in the 2nd image so it’s more like a spa area 🙂
Thanks @vernal oxide
For the 1st image then, now thinking of just making that blend in with the nature path and trees. Not sure what else I could do with it
Fairly new to cottagecore but here's my WIP Orchard 
@zenith roost ummmm, wheres the orchard tho?
looks great as a cottagecore area, but i dunno if its an orchard
Haha mb
ah! that looks amazing 
I made a Celeste stargazing area!
I have this area outside truffles house. He/she likes fashion so I was thinking of doing her a garden area to reflect her personality. But I don't know what to do 😞 so do you guys have any ideas or photo inspiration? Thanks, from me and truffles 😂😂
Does anyone have any ideas for what i can put in this empty space?
@waxen forge you could never go wrong with a cute seating area! There’s also a list of ideas in the pinned section!
Ok ty
@zenith roost looks good to me!
@vernal oxide Using iron garden chairs and table?
@waxen forge yeah! Those are usually my go to. Those or the rattan armchairs!
Ok ty
can't remember why i built this cliff in the first place and now i have no clue what to put here because it's so long and narrow 😂 does anyone have any ideas? it's by my entrance
is it a good idea to cut down all my trees to place furniture and flowers to get the three stars?
@steel geyser trees also give you points, so id say no

@zinc vector maybe a fairy core forest, or a witchcraft area, or a stargazing area, or a sort of big bakery...
hello! me again 😆 wanted to get your opinions on something. if you're starting out in the game but a keen designer, would you prioritise donating paintings/statues to the museum, or do you guys just use all of them for decorations around the island?
Anyone interested in knowing how to make this?
I'm planning on making a quick step by step guide

@shell grotto I would donate them because that way you can get your collections up especially for fish and bugs if you want the golden tools
hmm specifically about redd's paintings/statues tho. do you guys donate all that you buy?
i know some people love those placed all over their island, so thus not sure if donating them would be a priority
The first of each, yea
terraforming hard :'[
I have a few ideas now (at least for rivers), and now I"m just... trying to figure out how to do it. and oh gosh, it is not.. the easiest thing
It's more frustrating due to the amount you accidentally missplace stuff then hard
I'm using planner(s) atm... then i'll be trying in-game :')
I was trying in the game for the entrance, or a entrance, and that... oof (and if what I want to do works, all that is going to get destroyed anyway so idk)
@shell grotto i personally am a museum completionist so i try to donate first, but i mostly use fake paintings/statues to decorate around my island (fakes are easier to trade for)
I'm the kind of a perfectionist who would go through the extra effort to get the real ones for decoration
I’m also trying to plan my island, and I want kind of a natural theme, and the entrance turned out really nice but then it just went downhill so I might remake the planned layout with only the entrance ,_,
@storm bluff it's just sooo tedious because redd only comes to your island at least once in two weeks now. T.T so tempted to just botch up the museum donations and just use whatever i buy as decoration. LOL
@shell grotto you totally can if that's what you prioritize! Visitors wont usually go into the museum to check anyways haha~ and as i said, fake artwork is much easier to trade for compared to real artwork so keep that in mind if you dont want to wait for redd on your island~ (you can also farm him whenever he does appear if you TT)
Oh also, anyone have anything for an orchard? I don’t want it to be cramped but I don’t want it to take up too much space and hhhhh-
thank you @storm bluff and @ocean grove for the advice ❤️ will think about it!
Np
I got a move a bunch of houses around because of the terraforming I want to do, so looks like I gotta whip out the ol' time machine
I can’t wait to start working on Villager’s Yards! I haven’t gotten to that yet but I’m pretty sure in the next day or two I will! : )
What do you all think of this?
Cute and simple
Flora’s new yard! 
Are these floor lights even nice/suit my walkways? I feel like they r not going well
That’s very cute @daring crescent
They perfectly suit it!
I think they look great @daring crescent makes it look cute at night still!
Heya friends working on my island to prepare for my return to YouTube <3 how's my entrance?
Ooo ok thank you all sm! Appreciate it 💕💕
Ige only played pokemon competitively so I'm not too confident but I think this entrance is a success?
It’s very cute! I love the flower pattern you created! @woven drift
Thank you!!!
Omg that looks so sweet! Love what you've done with the gold roses @woven drift
Hahaha just removed a lot of them so got a buncha spares wink wonk
Love that, very cute and creative!! 😱😍
I have a blank spot to fill on my island any suggestions?
@wary wyvern theres a list of ideas in the pinned section!
I've been planning on doing a firework festival theme for the back of my Ireland for a while now but with the new August update I've got an even more incentive to do it
This is just the start but it does look pretty nice on it's own
You guys are very kind and encouraging ;D
Finished Ankha’s area. Love my little goddess https://twitter.com/envy_acnh/status/1290992285409259521?s=21
@vernal oxide What color should be the chairs and tables?
@waxen forge I think white could look good. If you use a pathing underneath you could def pull off black as well!
I have ankha but thats so expensive lmao i cant afford it 😂
@vernal oxide how many gold did that take to build ankhas place?
I made another picnic area 
@woven drift that looks good I might try to build it
OMG PRETTY @woven drift
@waxen forge hahaha I think it took at least 20 pieces but I’m not entirely sure. I had a stack lol. I’m not home rn but if you want I can send a dodo later so you can come by and get the extra gold nuggets I have!
Any suggestions for Rowan’s door? I feel like this wreath doesn’t match his yard anymore.
Thnx 
@vernal oxide rlly? Ty
@woven drift thats gorgeous!!
I’ve been wondering this for so long, but how do you get like fully grown weeds where you want?
@waxen forge yeah! Dm me so I remember cause my memory is horrible 😂
@amber moon I believe there is one made out of branches
Everytime I plant weeds it’s small, I time travelled the other day to November & none of my weeds grew!
Ooh yes you’re right!! @woven drift that would be cute!
That might suit your aesthetic! Tree branch wreath
@trim trellis you could possibly have too many weeds on your island? I think a certain amount prevents growth of the weeds
Takes only 10 branches
Hmmm, alright! Tysm Envy!
I have so many branches in my storage 😂😂
Me too. Farming acorns Vietnam war flashback
I can’t wait for my seasons to change!
Gosh 400 branches I think I got lmaoooo ;___;
Have fun designing your stuff :D I'll return to polishing the rest of my island cant wait to make island vid!!!
@trim trellis you could also try asking in #game-help-questions❓ they would be better at assisting you
Oh dear, Francine has fleas 😂
Net her and give her new pet
My fav is catching the flea and waiting for a villager to buy it 😂
What do you you guys think of my entrance?
@vernal oxide the Tables and chair turned out how i want it to ty
I need a better set up than this for my villagers, but honestly don't know what to do
@steady chasm these could be some options if you want to keep them together!
Ooo thank you @vernal oxide
I love how organized that layout is, while mine is random 😂
My map so far! Flattened out everything pretty much except for the top of the island
@trim trellis i'm a little late, but the weeds stop growing larger (and they also stop spreading) once you have 150 weeds on your island. any weeds you place after that will remain the same size as when you placed them. i think they did this to cut down on lag if people don't play for a month and log back in so their entire island isn't covered in weeds
Tysm @scenic blaze ! Truly appreciate it : )
Finished my sea turtle nesting spot 
There is a blank spot on my island that needs filling any suggestions (and before you say it yes I looked in the pins)
How big is the spot?
Decently big not overly huge but not tiny
if the suggestions in the pins won't work for you, please be a little more descriptive - provide more information about the area, the size of the area, what areas are near it, and what things you already have on your island. we don't want to suggest things that won't work for you
It kinda near some roads it’s about medium size and not right by but decently close to the beach

@wary wyvern until you think of something, just plant a lot of trees and collect wood lol
Anyone know what to put infront of my zen garden? (dont mine the flowers and paths)
I wonder if there are any shirts that look like the clothing "items", because then you can have a store and new shirts will be exactly as seen, pink and white stripes
Oh there are, they're called striped shirts
Lol
I enjoy my park entrance :D
Lon Lon Ranch 🐴
just made the “welcome to ponyo” design , love it!
@hardy heart woaaa this looks so good!!
thanks! @shell flicker
takes up too many spaces tho 😭 couldnt do mine
yeah this one is 8, but im okay with it hehe
Yo I wish I could get a welcome to you on a honuhala one
Anyone have tips for like Marshals yard?
I'm finally coming along with my island. My third redo and I think this is the one that will stay haha. As you can see the left hand side and around resident services is much more cottagecore vibes with cliffs everywhere and houses spread out while the other side is far too structured🙈
Why is your museum all the way on the beach?
I feel like for Marshal’s yard maybe something to do with a cafe? Trying to base this off of his house’s interior
@ocean grove moved it there so it's out the way. It's not staying there lol
Ok ty @trim trellis
@waxen forge I gave Marshal a cafe
Oh lol makes sense
@vernal oxide tysm i had a space in my beach or thingy ill just put her near zen garden lol
Ok, so what do y'all think of this map plan? Trying to go with a Bayou vibe since that's my islands name. I really want it to look nice.
All i can say is "Islands. "
That looks pretty!
@waxen forge hahaha if you ever need beach ideas to fill the space this list might help!
Turtles?
