@prime harbor I would suggest probably watching 5 star island tours and looking at some #dream-addresses🌜 to see if there’s anything you might like or not like!

woven drift
#

^ this is what I do

high bronze
#

theres an empty area behind my ables and in front of tutu and pashmina’s house. i currently dont know what to do with it and i already have an outdoor cafe and a park on my island. and i also wanna do something that matches with all four seasons hopefully

dawn cave
#

Maybe a pretty 'park'/picnic area, with a row of hardwood trees along the path? That way you get the effect of changing seasons from the trees and you can change out items in the park as necessary

high bronze
#

sorry i forgot to mention that i have a park beside my nooks nookstare

woven drift
#

Pine tree farm maybe?

dawn cave
#

Or a little farmers market/bazarr

raven granite
#

Has anyone done a suburban meets cottagecore island theme? i’ve been thinking about maybe going in that direction instead of full forestcore on my new island

high bronze
#

mm these all look great, i was thinking of doing an art gallery? and a stargazing spot? if u have these in your islands pls send them isahearts i need inspos melbaflustered

raven granite
#

this is what i meant for the whole urban meets cottagecore theme i could possibly want

vernal oxide
kindred mist
#

Any tips on how to get a 3 star island? Isabelle keeps telling me the plant trees and flowers which i did but im stuck at 2 stars.

primal geyser
#

put items outside @kindred mist

kindred mist
#

Idk she keeps telling me to amp up the natural environment

knotty agate
#

Then go for it, sometimes only a few flowers are missing

kindred mist
#

hmm ok

vernal oxide
#

@kindred mist you usually need each kind of flowers and breed a bunch of them. As well as more trees. There’s a star guide in the pinned section

kindred mist
#

Do roses work?

vernal oxide
#

@kindred mist it’s all flowers and you can breed the different colors

kindred mist
#

Ohh i understand

oblique flax
#

I didn’t have all the flowers when I got my 3 stars

vernal oxide
#

@oblique flax it’s probably best to have different kinds so it’s not just an island filled with roses imo

oblique flax
#

Yessss I agree

kindred mist
#

Do u guys know if isabelle sends mixed messages?

vernal oxide
#

Not that I recall. But the star guide in the pinned section goes into detail about points needed and how many points you get for items placed and such!

sharp jetty
#

@raven granite I think my island is pretty much urban meets cottagecore

#

But I havent updated it and its only 1/3th done, so I might send a DA later on when I get home

kindred mist
#

so certain furniture give you more points?

vernal oxide
#

@kindred mist yeah I think it says that diy items placed give you a whole point while regular furniture gives you 1/4 of a point? Idk. It says it in the link in the pinned section

I wasn’t actually looking rn just wanted to see for future reference

#

@storm bluff yah I’m just hanging out on this channel while I work

vernal oxide
#

@sterile violet Idk if anyone mentioned this, but I think a cream and sugar on the serving cart would be cute! And I’d get a darker color fireplace to go with the darker colored stuff you’re using !

#

i want to make my island have a neighbourhood kinda thing where all my villagers are together and it’s like a little village, does anyone have any inspo for this?

sick crane
#

idk if this goes here but which path should i use with this edge on my island

hollow burrow
#

If you’re using that edge I’d recommend using a custom design path too 🤷‍♂️

terse vale
sick crane
#

can you layer custom paths? i wanted to use a custom path with it but i couldnt get it to look right bc there was always grass between it

stone magnet
#

i like the stone one

manic sigil
#

@hollow burrow you cant place a custom edge on a custom path

hollow burrow
#

i was saying maybe also put the edge onto a custom path that you design yourself.

#

like when you design the path, incorporate the edge into it

manic sigil
#

oh

sick crane
#

might try that tbh

hollow burrow
#

But if you don’t want to use a custom design for it, definitely dirt.

terse vale
#

Dirt looks good @sick crane

i want to make my island have a neighbourhood kinda thing where all my villagers are together and it’s like a little village, does anyone have any inspo for this?

@steel geyser do you have a dump/trash area?

steel geyser
#

@steel geyser do you have a dump/trash area?
@gentle acorn what’s that?

knotty agate
gentle acorn
#

manic sigil
gentle acorn

or maybe a post office?

#

solar panel area?

manic sigil
stone magnet
#

yeah trash is very citycore

steel geyser
#

this is a trash dump
@manic sigil my area is kinda big tho

agile pulsar
#

could be like a railway cafe or something? @steel geyser since it's raised up

stone magnet
#

you can also use the phone boxes for a post office too

steel geyser
#

maybe a small cafe would work

stone magnet
#

yes !! do like a railway cafe / convenience store

manic elm
#

uhhh can anyone help with my thing
@leO#3505 I believe this is in pins but it helped me

gentle acorn
#

you can also make a train station

stone magnet
#

yeah i posted that i saw that, thanks though

steel geyser
#

you can also make a train station
@gentle acorn i have one

woven drift
#

@manic sigil I stole your dump photo

stone magnet

@sick crane i like terracotta the most, but i feel like maybe a custom path w colorful edges would look better

Oooh thanks o: Neat style!

#

ah ok

#

@torn grove i think thats the secret entrance trick? its already patched

torn grove
#

oh, no then. ty

oak gazelle
#

but anyways you wouldn´t because there is a cliff in the middle

cosmic lintel
#

I made Sylvana a little plant spot, might replace the stall in the front but I think I like it so far isadeadtired

woven drift
#

@cosmic lintel looks nice, but replace the stall in front with the bonsai table

cosmic lintel
#

I don’t have the pine bonsai recipe yet, I’ll probably do that once I get my hands on it haha

#

thank you for the suggestion!

woven drift
#

Neither do I, I just got lucky and found a built one in a giveaway

#

Anyone have marshal and Diana yard combine? ☺️☺️

silk thicket
storm bluff
#

@cosmic lintel very cute!! so fitting for sylvana~

vernal oxide
#

@willow bloom I don’t but I gave Marshal a cafe and Diana an art/bookstore. So you could do maybe a small library with a cafe for them!

cosmic lintel
#

thank you isahearts isahearts !!

#

@vernal oxide do you mind to share both of the picture? I was planning to make a small library with cafe exactly like you said!

@sharp jetty I’m thinking about do that but it’s hard with my layout. Because my town hall is super close to my airport.

My town hall is super close too@waxen sleet

Its actually right beside it

@burnt gorge maybe one of those planter items in the bottom right

What’s a planter item?

#

Like the potted plants?

Yeah

Some plant item in that corner ^^

inland oxide
#

Anyone knows if these corners can be smoothen out somehow? 😭

woven drift
#

@inland oxide Yep, just double teraform them. So stand on the piece that you want to make round, and remove it

inland oxide
#

@inland oxide Yep, just double teraform them. So stand on the piece that you want to make round, and remove it
@woven drift the problem is I cant stand there cos of the cliff. If I remove the cliff then I cant rebuild it to be curved LOL

still summit
#

you can't remove those two wedges.

woven drift
#

@inland oxide Ohhhhhh, then you cant move them.

charred grove
#

@stone magnet ^ for your neighbourhood question 🙂

still summit
#

but you can link them together and smooth that out

RIP thanks guys

#

Can I post some plans I made for opinions? :3

gentle acorn
#

as long as its island layout related, i dont see why not!

hot dome
#

Whaddaya think of this? Red dots are houses, yellow is the campground, the orange circle I could move up the cliffs for more house space. But I'm not sure if it's "right"

dim iron
#

My little garden area(if it can be called that). It's not completely finished yet..I'm thinking about adding some statues or something!

limber ginkgo
bleak wind
#

@hot dome I would personally have the campsite in a seperate area from the houses

hot dome
#

Maybe the bottom right in place of that other house?

oak gazelle
#

@hot dome idk what do you have at your house, but ill move that circle river so i could place the houses looking at each other so 5 you already have at the back left and in front of those other 5

bleak wind
#

@hot dome Or maybe the island in the middle. It's honestly up to you though 🙂

hot dome
#

🤔 I know what you mean, Quartz. That's a good idea and Mikon the island in the middle I might turn into a little lounge instead teehee Thanks so much both of you. I know what I must do >:3

@grizzled egret maybe do imperial tables

@grizzled egret maybe you could look for those custom hats that look like food? im pretty sure there are ramen or sushi ones

thanks! i’ll try i have a few hats for my cafe so i bet i can find some

@bitter inlet maybe a picnic area?

@dim iron in front of my orchard I put a honey farm and a smoothie bar. Maybe you can make one of those!

@rich tree omg that’s so pretty!!! i love it

#

@civic pelican Aww thank you! But yeah my RS is quite close (I think 12 blocks maybe away) to the airport, so if you have more space you can make it a lot bigger! Search up daldalto’s spirited away stuff and you can see the better version 🥰

@rich tree omg ty for this info!!! literally the best!

#

@bleak wind omg ive been looking all over for the arch this is beyond cute!

#

@neon glen omg are those simple panels in the back as buildings??

neon glen
#

@civic pelican yes!! i tried to make my entrance a sort of town square

civic pelican
#

@neon glen that’s so smart!! ive been using panels as like backgrounds for cafes lol

Omg amazing @neon glen it’s nice to see some unique entrances ♥️✨

I put it off for such a long time too it’s gone through 3 phases and then it was just flAT for so long

daring hatch
#

Should I do a modern cottage core theme or a City theme?

manic sigil
#

@daring hatch how about both combined?

daring hatch
#

I feel like combining them would not go well

neon glen
#

not tru, ive seen lots of islands that have done both a city theme and a natural theme well

manic sigil
#

hmm, then maybe have some areas city and some cottagecore? it sounds weird when i say it like that but you can mix and match, maybe make a 4th of it city and 3/4 quarters cottagecore. if you wanna do both then do both

ancient plover
#

i always favour cottagecore cause it's my aesthectic but combined would be so cool!!

daring hatch

It’s annoying I only like it at night :/

#

Add some statues

alpine spade
#

@ocean raft my town theme is pretty general. I don’t have an overall island theme. I have a few iron garden benches near my other villager homes but this is the bigger area and I wanted to make it like a little cottage area

burnt gorge
#

Where tho

sand pollen
ocean raft
#

@alpine spade Maybe make an elongated library area, I'm thinking 1 or two bookshelves at the back, log furniture, cafe items like cups, maybe some custom design rugs, pine trees, country fences and flowers matching what ever colour scheme you'll be going for.

alpine spade
#

@ocean raft that’s a solid idea, but I do already have a cafe and a library on other parts of my island 😭 this flower patch has been the bane of my existence because I just don’t know what to do with it lol

I'm looking for some beach inspo. I've littered one of my beaches with turbines and solar panels, but idk what to do with the other one

If anyone has a very nicely decorated island please dm me I need help on one thing... ty

#

@alpine spade Then maybe scrap the book shelves and use the other items? Just maybe a cozy place for your villagers to sit with som log stools and sofas.

Need an opinion. Does that look good? Trying to have a bridge go over a little zen area behind my shopsDance

stable abyss
#

@burnt gorge i think its the fountain and path and bench all being the same color? everything kinda blends in. Also you could maybe add some cliffs beside the museum and have small waterfalls

#

if you like how it blends in maybe just adding some other colors elsewhere ^^ flowers can help with that

burnt gorge
#

I had flowers but where would I put them :-

stable abyss
#

Somewhere along the path, idk if that might entail moving the fencing tho

#

@manic sigil @burnt gorge thanks!!

manic sigil
stable abyss
#

How do you deal with these jagged edges? I feel like even if i round them off it would look strange. Im gonna create a gym/spa area from this area onto the beach with a juice bar

manic sigil
#

@stable abyss you can place flowers and hedges to hide them, or just make the area smaller

steel geyser
neon glen
#

what area is that supposed to be 🤔

burnt gorge
#

@stable abyss my theme is tropical so would it help to replace the torches with different colored palm tree lamps for accents

steel geyser
#

are you asking me?

neon glen
#

yes

stable abyss
#

@manic sigil Thanks I'll try flowers since I really want this area to work. Now to choose kind of flowers ...

#

@burnt gorge Yeah that would really help the colors! I always thing trees break up areas nicely too.

#island-designs what you all think of my onsen? Too much? Need more? Pls let me know 😢 thank you
@lapis dock I think it could use a vertical element near the edge at the back to add to the depth/detail and maybe try to partition/fence off areas as well? It's just a suggestion and not needed at all because the area is LOVELY and I love how you used the bamboo shoot lamp as well

Edit: not extreme fencing like maybe a lil one or two pieces of rope fencing by furniture or bamboo lattice at the back?

i've been decorating that same entrance for like four days

@woven drift i noticed you followed the same vibe at the right of the town hall? maybe you should try a different style at the right so you dont get so tired of that garden style~

that's a great idea quartz, it's hard to break it up because i feel like it will stop matching once i do something else but i'll try it because you say it will look good

#

@marsh raft i feel that, i just plant the same garden over and over

oak gazelle
#

@woven drift i tried making my island like a forest and im kinda tired of that vibe, so im triying something different in my blanck areas

woven drift
#

@marsh raft more plants, more more.. just put house plants all around it

#

@oak gazelle yeah i feel like that too, i love the look but it feels like there's only so much that can happen when your theme is just "plants/big forest"

alright thank you @woven drift I´ll try that :)

I don’t know which stool to go for, can someone help me decide or maybe suggest another?

icy flint

i would probably say put it in the blue since if it was in the yellow you wouldnt be able to put stuff next to the waterfall and it would make it look awkward imo

does anyone have their resident service really close to the airport? mine is 1 space away and i have no idea how i should redo my entrance 😔
@solar wolf this is mine if it helps!

I kinda want to make an incline somewhere but I don't know if I should do it (I already made an incline on the left). Any help?
@sleek lantern

I think I like the blue option but always keep in mind that we are limited to the number of inclines, I found out the hard way

oh thank you!! ^-^

@limber ginkgo tbh me neither i thought i was going to do something like you and put a vertical bridge but i couldn't do that so i just worked on it and tbh i feel like this is the best i can do with the space

You can shove them near the equipment

@wise hemlock if you haven’t checked the pinned section there’s a list of ideas there! And then if you use the top right search bar you can type in “in:island-layouts has: image: “ and type in what you’d like to see to get some inspo!

@wise hemlock Alright

@wary sedge I think it’s better to use the area, you can always change it later on especially since it could just be a rumor and not be in the next update! There’s a list of ideas in the pinned section if you haven’t checked it yet!

I haven't met Hamlet, who's moving in tomorrow, but if his house doesn't fit the theme of this deck that I just completely redid, then I am going to have to spend SO much money moving another one of my villagers here 😂

@cloud marsh I will say that his exterior matches the color scheme of the yard (which looks beautiful!) But his personality and interior doesn't match, if that matters haha

Oh, I just realised. That's a crescent moon people have on their island. I thought it was a giant banana! 🥴

hey everyone, planning on making a youtube channel and want to have a series in which i visit dream suits. Anyone interested in being apart of this and sharing your dream address

burnt osprey
#

I would if my island was done but it’s not even close😅

#

Exterior is probably the biggest thing here (thank). A lot of times, by the time (or if) I get around to more specifically personalized yards, I end up letting the vilager leave the island and then just roll with the mismatch.

What kind of fence should I put around my court? Or should I put something else? Or should I leave it?

@nocturne rampart you can find dream addresses in #dream-addresses🌜 but you'll likely need to message them and ask if they would like to be part of the tour (as this is not the channel to ask)

On my island, I've given everyone little fenced in gardens with patches of flowers on either side of their houses. And I just picked some flowers based on either their favourite colours or by their appearance. 🙂

vernal oxide
#

@silent atlas I think if you want to add fencing maybe the hedges? Or brick? But honestly I think it looks fine like that

plain forge
#

What kind of fence should I put around my court? Or should I put something else? Or should I leave it?
@silent atlas it could be an interesting idea to use jail bars around the area and then add hedges around the jail bars to mimic those street courts nookthumbsup

cloud marsh
#

@silent atlas I might consider going with simple panels customized to fit your look (the srandard wood or even concrete customization options could work or get a custom design). Otherwise--brick? Maybe throw in a few hedges to give a bit of variety.

vernal oxide
#

@plain forge omg that’s such a cool idea

torpid grove

@cloud marsh I love that, very Polynesian feel!

@vernal oxide I recently got into jail bars bc I'm redoing my theme to medieval and it's becoming one of my fav items bc it's so versatile stitchesproud

@fallow shadow I've seen people make really chill picnic spots with pillows, a blanket, and music players. Or you could add barrels/boxes and other random items to make a shipping area? then it seems like ships actually arrive on your island to collect goods!

@trinity make a boardwalk or a picnic area

@burnt osprey make a stand...where they have those hats but its food

#

Here’s my farm @torn kraken you could put a farm in the middle of your orchard

abstract kelp
#

@torn kraken Maybe you can make an area for a silo and some barrels/fruit boxes? So it seems like you're packing the fruit up and storing it. If you're wanting to use fences you could use bushes in between each fence so it brightens up the area a bit more

vernal oxide
#

@torn kraken I used fruit baskets in between and leaf piles and a ladder and some wooden buckets! I also added a honey bee farm and turned the front into a smoothie bar! (Pic isn’t up to date)

@torn kraken depends on where it is located and the theme of that section but i think a candle would be universal imo

woven drift
#

Dude you just posted a picture of bookstand in your inventory idk what you mean man

vernal oxide

@torn kraken I think a book or candle imo. But probably depends on the area

torn kraken
#

Its like i have a little patch of land. And i have a small pond under a watefall. Like teo waterfalls around the corner

#

@woven drift pepper i was showing my inventory

@torn kraken it might be easier to take a pic of the area so we can get a better understanding of the vibe and theme you’re going for

torn kraken

Its dark in game

#

So i cant really take a picture

#

@torn kraken I think books or a candle too.

@torn kraken can't really help give advice on what looks better if we can't see the area you've mentioned, but I would go with candle since the other two doesn't make sense on a barrel

@torn kraken if you take the picture in game, you can send it to your fb or twitter, save it to your phone or whatever and then send it here. It’s much easier to see. And you can probably add a in game filter to make it seem lighter

Also @vernal oxide yeah...i could try that. Can you make posts private on facebook?

Sorry didn’t intend for that

vernal oxide

@torn kraken I think so? But I usually post my pics and then save them and immediately delete it from fb after

torn kraken

Your fine, maybe i just read it wrong. I tend to overthink things haha

Yeah i could try that...does it take a whule

vernal oxide
#

@torn kraken nope! Once you set it up it’s super easy and posts for me usually are within a few seconds!

I just thought it was really cute

@torn kraken so you’ll have to sign into your fb through your switch to send the pics there, but you can stay logged in to make it 10x easier

Meant nothing by it at all!

How do you access your photos on the switch ?

Alright, thank you for clarifying

hello! any tips on how to blend my areas with the rest of my island? i’m going for a cottage core theme (basic ik) and i’m having a hard time making the areas i’m making (pool area atm) actually fit into my theme. it looks out of place because of the paths and the decor thag goes into it, i’ve seen this problem with other places i’ve made too 😦

torn kraken
#

@woven drift pepp i was hesitant about your green area but it looks really cool. You could make the path thicker and put a fruit tree in the middle of the path

do you guys think “the path” would look better here or should i keep this?

@granite lagoon I like that path!! Omg don’t change it 🥺

is there a tag for museum / beach area inspo?

@winter gorge you could do a big market area but in a line! Also I love how you called it a “bald spot” hahaha

winter gorge
#

@vernal oxide that’s a good idea! And thanks lol, that’s what I call all of my little areas with nothing in it 😂

@unborn cedar this is the front of my museum! If you want other inspo you can always use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: museum” or switch the word museum for beach and see what others have shared!

@torn kraken I don’t think so. I have a long waterfall for my entrance. Across from my entrance is my museum entrance which has waterfalls and the front of my museum also has a waterfall lmao

Why havent i thought of that?

@lost cargo Maybe some wave breakers along the shore? I think that would look pretty clean.

@limber ginkgo Iv got some already, I’m just cutting out the bench for now. The design is too wide for the space I have

I see all the island layouts here with their RS buildings that aren't 10 blocks away from their airport and get super jealous...
I saw something here about blocking line of sight of RS with cliffs and redirecting the path to make the distance feel larger... and that helped a lot

you can make small entrances look really nice but you're pretty limited in options

@opal bridge definitely needs furniture! Honestly just laying down some things that go with them would work such as a sewing machine and a loom, or maybe a few stalls with small items

I might tone down the double waterfall to shrink the cliff and stop the camera from panning to overhead when I speak to someone in the plaza

Try not to make things to sharp edged and symmetrical! Really go for the “deserted yet urbanized” island look!:) Have some fun rivers and waterfalls here and there and some little cliffs!
