^ this is what I do
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
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
sorry i forgot to mention that i have a park beside my nooks 
Pine tree farm maybe?
Or a little farmers market/bazarr
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
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
i need inspos 
this is what i meant for the whole urban meets cottagecore theme i could possibly want
@high bronze I put my stargazing area in Judy’s yard! And also my little art display area!
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.
put items outside @kindred mist
Idk she keeps telling me to amp up the natural environment
Then go for it, sometimes only a few flowers are missing
hmm ok
@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
Do roses work?
@kindred mist it’s all flowers and you can breed the different colors
Ohh i understand
I didn’t have all the flowers when I got my 3 stars
@oblique flax it’s probably best to have different kinds so it’s not just an island filled with roses imo
Yessss I agree
Do u guys know if isabelle sends mixed messages?
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!
@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
so certain furniture give you more points?
@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
@kindred mist this link should answer all the questions you have! https://www.reddit.com/r/ac_newhorizons/comments/g2dwv9/full_island_rating_guide/?ref=share&ref_source=link
Oooo tysm!
hello any suggestions for Marshal’s little coffee area
Instant coffee pot
I'd change the furnace to the white or a bit darker one, I love it!
what do i do after my museum os upgraded?
I'd change the furnace to the white or a bit darker one, I love it!
@ocean raft fireplace?
@gusty copper try asking in #game-help-questions❓!
Yes fireplace
thank u
can someone send a stargazing area inspo? tysm 
^ I need one too
@high bronze @woven drift have you tried searching this in the search bar? --> in: island-layouts has: image stargazing
@high bronze @woven drift have you tried searching this in the search bar? --> in: island-layouts has: image stargazing
@storm bluff oo thanks!
No
im finding some on pinterest also 
I wasn’t actually looking rn just wanted to see for future reference
ok! well for future reference, the search function here is very useful, just type in "in:island-layouts has:image" and include any key words you're looking for and you can browse through past images
you all have some rlly cute islands chile im jealous
right like chile anyways so
@storm bluff yah I’m just hanging out on this channel while I work
@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 !
Accidentally gave Billy a dotted dress. 
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?
the bottom left is what i’ve been doing but idk
idk if this goes here but which path should i use with this edge on my island
If you’re using that edge I’d recommend using a custom design path too 🤷♂️
My museum area
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
i like the stone one
@hollow burrow you cant place a custom edge on a custom path
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
oh
might try that tbh
But if you don’t want to use a custom design for it, definitely dirt.
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?
uhhh can anyone help with my thing
what should i put here? my island theme is city core and i needed some ideas
uhhh can anyone help with my thing
@stone magnet I could if I had the photos in my phone
what should i put here? my island theme is city core and i needed some ideas
@steel geyser do you have a dump/trash area?
@steel geyser do you have a dump/trash area?
@gentle acorn what’s that?
Still don't know if I am happy with the entrance to the museum
like, an area where people put trash and stuff
this is a trash dump
and this is a post office (both not mine btw)
yeah trash is very citycore
this is a trash dump
@manic sigil my area is kinda big tho
could be like a railway cafe or something? @steel geyser since it's raised up
you can also use the phone boxes for a post office too
maybe a small cafe would work
yes !! do like a railway cafe / convenience store
uhhh can anyone help with my thing
@leO#3505 I believe this is in pins but it helped me
you can also make a train station
yeah i posted that i saw that, thanks though
you can also make a train station
@gentle acorn i have one
@manic sigil I stole your dump photo
you could do a diner
yeah i was thinking a small cafe
and this is a train station with a cafe
i love that
my folder cant be stopped
Could I see some people's residential areas? I'd love some examples and inspirations 💕
(Also Nikey that's amaaaazing
)
my map. hope this helps? lol
(its not mine but thanks
)
@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!
@torn grove #garden-science-discussion
ah ok
@torn grove i think thats the secret entrance trick? its already patched
oh, no then. ty
but anyways you wouldn´t because there is a cliff in the middle
I made Sylvana a little plant spot, might replace the stall in the front but I think I like it so far 
@cosmic lintel looks nice, but replace the stall in front with the bonsai table
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!
Neither do I, I just got lucky and found a built one in a giveaway
Anyone have marshal and Diana yard combine? ☺️☺️
Small museum area with cafe
@cosmic lintel very cute!! so fitting for sylvana~
@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!
thank you
!!
@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!
@willow bloom yeah! Marshal and Diana!
Thank you so muchhh! @vernal oxide 💜💜
Anyone willing to show their Front entrance? I need inspiration
@waxen sleet
What’s missing here? :/
@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.
@burnt gorge maybe one of those planter items in the bottom right
Yeah
K
Some plant item in that corner ^^
Anyone knows if these corners can be smoothen out somehow? 😭
@inland oxide Yep, just double teraform them. So stand on the piece that you want to make round, and remove it
@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
you can't remove those two wedges.
@inland oxide Ohhhhhh, then you cant move them.
@stone magnet ^ for your neighbourhood question 🙂
but you can link them together and smooth that out
RIP thanks guys
Np!
i changed the paths of my island uwu
Can I post some plans I made for opinions? :3
as long as its island layout related, i dont see why not!
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"
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!
🥺 
@hot dome I would personally have the campsite in a seperate area from the houses
Maybe the bottom right in place of that other house?
@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
@hot dome Or maybe the island in the middle. It's honestly up to you though 🙂
🤔 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
Thanks so much both of you. I know what I must do >:3
@charred grove ah thank u!!
Anyone wants to share their entrance 🙂 looking for inspo
@prime harbor heres mine!
@prime harbor Here is mine hope it helps 🙂
My entrance!
I’m not sure how I feel about this haha
IT'S BEAUTIFUL but sideways 😂
@prime harbor
@prime harbor
Little touch up to Raymond’s house. Gave him a welcome sign for his door.
I give all my villagers welcome signs to add detail to houses, I think it’s pretty cute
i started this sushi restraint type thingy should i put anything on the tables?
@grizzled egret maybe do imperial tables
i don’t have enough bells to afford imperial tables :,)
not sure what to put here, it’s across from my cafe
@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?
i dont know what this is but, i like it😌
I'm not sure what to do with this large strip of land.. its between my village and my orchard
@dim iron what about a park with a fountain, benches, and picnic blankets?
What do ya'll think?
@dim iron in front of my orchard I put a honey farm and a smoothie bar. Maybe you can make one of those!
@bleak wind kinda reminds me of Donkey Kong Country
can i see people’s entrances? looking for ideas!
@civic pelican these are older photos but my entrance is more or less the same - it’s quite simple but it’s the train scene from spirited away (not my idea just resized from daldaltos video)
@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 🥰
@civic pelican Here's mine 😄
@civic pelican heres mine!
@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??
@civic pelican yes!! i tried to make my entrance a sort of town square
@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 ♥️✨
@rich tree thank you so much!!!
Awww whats its name
V happy with the vibe of my entrance 👁👁
that's so cute i'm putting off doing my entrance cause that's a big commitment
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
Should I do a modern cottage core theme or a City theme?
@daring hatch how about both combined?
I feel like combining them would not go well
not tru, ive seen lots of islands that have done both a city theme and a natural theme well
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
i always favour cottagecore cause it's my aesthectic but combined would be so cool!!
Ty guys for your opinion
Free flowers if someone can help me make a nice villager chill spot
@alpine spade Do you want suggestions on what furniture to put? If so what is your theme?
Sorry it’s upside down lmao
yes, gravity
Add some statues
@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
Where tho
How does this look?
@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.
@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 shops
@ocean raft I like the idea I’ll see what I can come up with
@cinder spire I've put beachs chairs on most of my beaches and then decorated them accordingly
What is wrong with this/ what should I add?
Some of my favourite areas of my island! ☺️
What incline should I put here?
Log? I’m not entirely sure
@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
I had flowers but where would I put them :-
Somewhere along the path, idk if that might entail moving the fencing tho
@manic sigil @burnt gorge thanks!!

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
@stable abyss you can place flowers and hedges to hide them, or just make the area smaller
idk if i like this or not
what area is that supposed to be 🤔
@stable abyss my theme is tropical so would it help to replace the torches with different colored palm tree lamps for accents
are you asking me?
yes
@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.
if you're asking what its supposed to be, i dont know
But it’s not trees or tree lamps lol (is that what you meant... just making sure)
Which street looks better?
1
The top
@burnt gorge Yeah I understand ^^ Even tho they're not trees they still look like trees, but better bc they light up
2 small areas in my island that dont have much work put into them but considering i cant even landscape yet i'd consider them somewhat decent for now
Y'all I'm really excited for Whitney's house to move tomorrow cuz--- it looks SOO GOOD rjskdnfej
Ty I’ll try that!
does anyone know what i can do with my beach area? it’s right in front of my campsite and it looks weird empty
What should I do for this little area? My theme is forest Cottagecore 😊
Ohhh butterfly garden seems cool!! I haven’t done that yet 😍
@woven drift thanks!! 😁 I actually forgot about using butterfly models throughout my island. This area will look nice now lol
#island-designs what you all think of my onsen? Too much? Need more? Pls let me know 😢 thank you
Onsen?
@woven drift more like a spa lol
Added instruments to my nooks since it's right by my plaza and-
They do be playin instrument doe
Which candle do y’all think fits more?
Left
Hmm okey thank you @woven drift
astronauts landed on my entrance!
#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?
Does this look good? Or is it missing something?
benches?
@@lucid osprey ty! I think I’ll do the imperial fence!!!
I bet you could use rusty jail bars to stand in for a tall chainlink fence
@vital root do you have any outdoor tables? You can place them behind the outdoor benches to give the seating more depth
@vital root maybe see if you can customize the flooring
@valid linden 2021 
Jokes aside, looks really nice 
Ty
i think this is not a common request but does anyone have some kid core inspo? (idk the actual name but those super colorful islands that are like massive playground)
@oak gazelle look in my post history you should find my kid friendly area for inspo
@oak gazelle were y’all ablyto find it?
@woven drift yesss ty!
I’m glad to help
i also founded this thingy! i love it so much iwi, maybe it helps someone else (kidcore kidcore playground)
The fruit items fit in nicely
Fish market, featuring Gulliver!
@A Mess#5774 some ideas
Does anyone know which two patterns are used to create this effect?
my newest creation, a little workshop for nooks :)
It looks great overall! Although I think the river right by the incline could be removed to make things look more simple! @woven drift
I’m trying to dress all my villagers as nurses :,3
@woeful sparrow #custom-design-help🎨
anyone here with a mix of city/suburban theme with a bit of nature sprinkled in
@woven drift i super like how it looks! maybe you should also add a lily record player to add some magical music~
im unsure how to decorate besides gardens basically but i started redesigning my island
@woven drift ohhhh but it looks so nice!
thanks, i like the entrance too. but my creativity has basically ended there so far, lol
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~
@woven drift this looks soo beautiful! love it i have the same issues.. decorating over and over again
any ideas for this area? i already have a garden, playground, zen area, and date night area. pls give me some inspo!
this is a small greenhouse, but i dont know how to implement it..
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
@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
@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 :)
@marsh raft you can put the garden behind the plaza, you know the little way right to the street lamp
Since you guys helped me I thought I’d share my progress on the bathhouse from spirited away (I’ve added a tiny personal twist to the structure but the ideas are from daldaltos video)
can anyone show their map please 🥰 i’m lookingfor something natural with alot of rivers around? cottagecore type vibes 🥴
Any camp inspo
Any camp inspo
@tacit smelt
@rich tree daaamn thats a LOT of wood 🤣
@tacit smelt
@tardy pebble alright I ll try that, thank you very much :)
@woven drift @manic sigil @limber ginkgo thanks guyssssss
@left zealot if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: map” you can see the maps others have shared and maybe it’ll give you inspo!

anyone have a very outdoorsy -hiking-camping-esque island?
some areas i created today 😊
@left zealot
Anyone have a city/suburban theme to their island?
tahnk you
anyone have any ideas for a shaped lake? i have a cresent moon and a butterfly lake, but the butterfly lake only looks good on the map. im trying to find cute pixel art but i’m struggling
Have you tried a heart?
a star lake would be pretty cute 🙂
this is a rough start but idk what to add here, any ideas?
@hexed magnet what do you have on your island already
@woven drift since ive recently took everything down, my island is mainly flowers and custom designs. idk what decorations would look nice here
Hmmm...
does somebody have a pentagram/summoning magic circle in their island? please give me ideas in how to decorate it!
@twilit crater skull radio
Ooo! Yesss
Maybe the skeleton
@twilit crater I've seen a lot of people put a moon in the middle of the circle, some do an asteroid since it floats. the best ones are the dolls though haha
I just started it, so it’s a work in progress
@storm bluff Ooo the asteroid might be a good idea
@storm bluff dolls sure, by for added creepyness use the gnomes
@twilit crater see @woven drift's comment above, it's directed towards you, not me haha
Oops misclick
lmao yess the doll
If you’re interested in gnomes I have some for trade
I can trade them in about an hour
Like im going for a foresty/natural/gothic type of island and its all like mushrooms and leaves and then BAM satanic ritual
I think the gnomes fit that better, gives it a gravity falls kinda feel
yesss
Are you interested in my gnomes? I’ll trade them for cheap
@twilit crater im going for a ruins/foresty theme and im really surprised i don't have a satanic circle yet but it went through my mind lol
@woven drift Naw I dont need it for now, thank you tho!
Is the wagon with the flowers a thing that you get a recipe card for or is it something that will appear in the shop? I have a perfect spot for it leading up to my fairgrounds lol
@torpid grove its a diy recipe sadly
It's a recipe
Ok! Thanks, something to look forward to whenever it pops up
is it just me or do you have to have that certain villager in order to finally start on that section lol for me im tryna get rid of tia for a frog villager to make a swamp and i just can't do it without that froggy lol
Muffy’s yard
does somebody have a pentagram/summoning magic circle in their island? please give me ideas in how to decorate it!
@twilit crater I had one with a tarantula model in the middle, had to get rid of it for the slots though.
ooof
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 😔
Can somebody who has a river that stops at a cliff post it for me? I know it's strange but I need a reference for something
1 space away? mine is 6 away
@solar wolf I have my airport close to the resident services! let me show u my entrance
i mean like horizontally
but one sec lemme get a pic of it from my album to help ya out
thank you!!
@twilit crater tysm! i never thought about putting a bridge down lol
Here’s mine
yeah i like seeing the waterfalls too with the flowers
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?
I don’t know which stool to go for, can someone help me decide or maybe suggest another?
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!! ^-^
ha charlie mines shorter
@icy flint Ik! I'm so impressed with how you did yours 😳
any less than 8 I would've probably restarted
@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
@buoyant apex I like the one on the left more but have you tried the wooden stools!?
my entrance ft. aurora
6 spaces away from RS
Aurora is b-b-baby 🥺
Made a little place for my doggo plushies. God i wish you can reshape the rocks
i remember when i started to make my entrance no body had 6 spaces but the inner tom nook helped me out
@brittle notch i had a good amount of plushies so i changed them to the puppers one and i hid them throughout my map haha
@buoyant apex I like the one on the left more but have you tried the wooden stools!?
@vernal oxide
Wow no I haven’t 😅 thanks for the suggestion
@little swift love your brick path 
not the best pic but for example the puppers is by the wild log next to the beach haha
I have a doggo in Sherb's yard, here it is watching him play piano
Would anyone like to come visit my island? I'm stuck and need ideas 💖🌟
Diana’s little outdoor library, I wish rugs could be put outside 😭
@orchid agate looks great. Have u thought of using a design for a blanket or rug?
I messed up the dimensions of my entrance where my house was gonna go. The 4 dirt paths is the middle of the plot, equal space on both sides. Any ideas on how I can place my house on this without having to redo everything?
https://twitter.com/mayorofhawaii/status/1296209482142318592?s=21
What do you guys think? Which should I use?
I like the top one circled in pink
@woven drift blue or pink i think
Help what’s the name of this
A loom that is customized @limber brook
hi all, im looking for some entrances
@spring apex this is my entrance!
i have a double south river, and my rs is really close to airport
@spring apex this is my entrance
whoaaa
@spring apex a lot of people use cliffs and a diagonal bridge to hide their RS but I also have a double south river lol
how did you get the waterfalls to be so close like that? @vernal oxide
Thats mine!
Double South River players know true pain.
@spring apex well this is my map. And then I just made it wide enough to include a waterfall!
My Island map looks like a hot *ss mess.
Its pretty I promise. But I made some adjustments since I took this photo.
oh man my rs is a whole close than yours @vernal oxide
@spring apex yeah when I bought a new switch I kept restarting until I got this exact RS placement 😭 and tbh I hate it. I’d rather have a closer RS
hi all, im looking for some entrances
@spring apex
Anyone done some good marketplaces?
whoaaaaa
@misty palm if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: market” you can see different markets others have shared!
can someone tell me what the name of teh island theme where it has like gridded floors and palm trees and neon signs and colors
@sonic cloak does your island have a dock that is 10 steps to the end of it?
I think I have the same kind of map as you.
@polar badge #happy-home-designs
Thankyou! @vernal oxide
Oh shit my bad. Didn't realize I posted in the wrong area
no prob! 
charlie do u camp and wait until your villagers interact w the furniture outside LMAO
@neon glen yes 😂😭
You can shove them near the equipment
And then they're forced to interact with it if you give them no way out. There's a dark side behind every coin.....if that's the saying.
@limber ginkgo stop it you make my heart hurt that I don’t try to watch my villagers like this 😂😂
Redid my whole maze from illuminated theme to butterfly maze
Cute!
super cute!
Redd's beach & safehouse 
Omg poppy there in the frame looks perfect
@visual stirrup i think you may be looking for like the "vaporwave" sort of aesthetic 
I will literally pay someone 2m bells to decorate my island
@wise hemlock unfortunately only you can decorate your island
My island is decorated according to dif colors
@vernal oxide but like help with my map
That’s kinda what I meant
And give Suggestions on what items to put
@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!
My island is so uglyyyyyyy
Well no I have a link to a video http://youtu.be/Qs27n_tVauM
Today I toured the amazing island of Ukiyo! Such a relaxing and serene tour. Enjoy!
Links mentioned:

Design Codes Used in this island:
Dirt path: MA-6647-9230-4716
Scattered leaves: MA-2666-2445-8950
Lattice simple pan...
That’s the video I watched
Anyone have any suggestions on what would look good in this area? I don’t know if I should keep saving it because of farming rumours for the next update or use it cause it’s bugging me..
@wise hemlock I believe there are folks on Nookazon who do island layout commissions, have you checked there?
If there’s farming I’m redoing my whole island
No not yet
Do anyone on here want to visit my island and give me some heavy criticism so I can make it look better
@mossy kernel I can
Do anyone on here want to visit my island and give me heavy criticism so I can make it look better
@mossy kernel I second that if anyone’s interested lol
@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!
What flowers should I put next to my ice cream shop
ice and blue imo
i like random types personally
Well then I have to see what flowers come in blue
Hey! I’m looking for entrance ideas for an island that has a resident service building close to entrance
@spark peak
Hi! Does anyone want to help with my map Design I have a link to a vid I watched http://youtu.be/Qs27n_tVauM
Today I toured the amazing island of Ukiyo! Such a relaxing and serene tour. Enjoy!

Lattice simple pan...
@icy flint this is really nice 🙈
yalllll i need help so i made this lil market area before i had established that i was going for a more woody look and now i've surrounded it with woodsy type areas, i really isn't fitting in but i love how it looks
i'm debating whether to take it down, thoughts? https://twitter.com/i/status/1296230016867606528
oh dang it doesn't work 
yeah i was gonna say something lol
uhm
i saw it on your twitter personally i say keep it it looks amazing
aaaa ok ty
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! 🥴
I usually do themed areas for my villagers for example like: Sherb's Soft Serve or Muffy's Fortune Telling. I need ideas for Lolly!
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
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)
@plain forge thank you! new to the server!
Picnic
@woven drift That's so adorable! I have a question, what are the mini stars called?
Star clocks turned backwards
Thank you!
Yep!
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. 🙂
@silent atlas I think if you want to add fencing maybe the hedges? Or brick? But honestly I think it looks fine like that
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
@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.
@plain forge omg that’s such a cool idea
@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 
@plain forge I literally cannot wait to see your fully completed island
Hey guys! Finished part 2 of my spirited away section! It’s a bit bit big so I tried my best to get most of the area in😅( structure inspired from daldalto + the movie itself)
@vernal oxide tyyy 🥺 it may take a while bc I'm ugly cryin and stressing over lsats HAHAH
My island theme is different colors
@torpid grove thank you ^_^
i just realized bamboo trees are more visible with item placement so this might be a tricky one
@rich tree that looks amazing. I love your attention to detail. Absolutely stunning!!
@plain forge I felt that. I ugly cried today because I can’t move back to campus and I’m stuck at home again for another semester and I’ve been farming Gulliver and pascal
@vernal oxide honestly this whole year's been a year of OOFs and crying
@rich tree that is honestly incredible. I don't think I've ever seen a recreation of a specidic setting (and such a beautiful one as SA at that) work so well in AC
@vernal oxide thank you! Although I should have taken photos in the day time :’)
Aww omg thank you guys :’)
@plain forge lmao TO BE HONEST THO. I’m completely over it
Sorry for posting again but I took photos during the day time, which looks a lot better LMAO (the bridge is still being constructed) so yeah spirited away in the daytime haha
@rich tree it looks so much nicer since the frozen arch matches the fences more in the day time haha
Yes! I was too tired to change the time, but I really should have haha
what should i add to this??
@lunar talon hmm maybe some custom pathing over the brick? it looks a bit bright i guess lol. and those trees, you can replace them with fruit, money or pine trees to make them p o p. other then that looks cute!
fencing, lamps, more furniture!! @lunar talon
@rich tree it looks so good!!
I can't wait to get my hands on the frozen set omg
The frozen set is amazing and so worthwhile!
@hexed sigil omg that means so much coming from you
He’s enjoying his evening
CRAB RAVE!!!
small beach area done! thoughts? and should i add more stuff?
Oooo how cute!! There’s a little sea orb you can get from nooks (I’m forgetting the name) but adding that would be adorable!
Sea Globe from Nooks ^
also maybe some real palm trees? the horizon looks a bit open (but if that is the look you are going for, nailing it!)
Definitely plant some coconuts
Putting a shell partition in the back would be cute too
Oooo how cute!! There’s a little sea orb you can get from nooks (I’m forgetting the name) but adding that would be adorable!
@hexed sigil oh yeah the sea globe
oh yeah!! I got one so imma add it now- where would be the best spot? and yea i need to add more palm trees there- i just haven't really been paying attention to those lol
maybe add some seashells as ground decs around it?
On the mat in the left corner would be cute for the globe
hey guys, if any of you has played xenoblade, i wanna make a miniature version of the titans bionis and mechonis, mechonis would be a black robot hero next to a katana, but i dont know what could be bionis
maybe a fossil but idk
@languid zinc maybe the Robot Hero (DIY) for Bionis?
yea i think it looks better now- just gotta grow the palm tree
So sweet!!!
@fallow shadow lmk if you want some full grown ones. I have 2 that I am going to chop down today
@languid zinc maybe the Robot for Bionis?
@next hazel I thought of that, if i don't come up with anything else i'll do that but i want them to feel different
thats ok!! im just gonna let it grow!
@languid zinc my fossil museum is completed if you want to come take a look at all the completed fossils for ideas
thank you though!!
all good Trinity 💮
In the process of making a post office and Sherb is already visiting 
WIP Farm
also what do you guys think i should do with my pier?
@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
Any ideas of what to put here? I have nooks and crannies next to it
oh yeah that seems cool! i think im gonna do the shipping idea or i might just add a smaller version of my big picnic area @abstract kelp
@rancid hatch make a cute hangout spot for your villahers
@fallow shadow Both are really good ideas!
@rancid hatch chez add a stereo and a table with some dining type items
thank you for the help! 
Its to dark to get a picture...but i have an orchard and it looks kinda boring...which is to be expected. I just dont know how to make it look like bleh.
Plus it takes up alot of my map and i just want it to look more natural
I might make the diner here and I’m going to do the hangout spot somewhere else. I’m doing like a mirror effect on my island
@rancid hatch You could make a flea market if you haven't already?
Thank you for the ideas!
A diner is a good idea too!
Wait until the update maybe cause what if they add far,s
Planning to tear down trees in this long stretch in front of ables and nooks by the beach. Any ideas on what to put here? I already have a cafe behind the shops so didn’t want to repeat :<
@fallow shadow this is what I placed on my pier
thats super cute!!
Bunnie said hmm no bath tokens for you 😔
@rustic pollen Do you have a market already?
@abstract kelp not yet but I was worried it might look too crowded!
I’m planning to put a market on the beach though
@rustic pollen Ooo a beach market is even better!
ofc this happens to me i did the usual "hey this looks good" and now i have to move the house 2 times because its one space off
I made an orchard....it looks kinds boring. How do i make tje area around the trees look more interesting but still keep picking the fruit trees easy
Looking for ideas of stalls/shops I’m making a big market area, so far I have thought of these shops: ice cream, cake, plants, clothes
Let me go take a pic of mine
@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
@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
@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)
Can someone help me
Tysm! It helped a ton
@torn kraken oh yeah that’s good idea thanks! Means I don’t have to waste my normal custom design slots😅
As soon as I took this picture he got up. Officially done with my villagers
I wish there was an option to freeze time. They always move or get up 😭
@plucky ginkgo What do you need help with?
I am making a drive in theater
@burnt osprey here’s mine!
Need some advice
Not completely finished but it’s alright
That looks so nice!!
I just started this game
Ty :)
holy cluster lol it looks sick but it also looks like you can't walk around there haha
I need a drive in theater pictures.
My favorite area I made is my junkyard
Can I see that sounds cool^
My favorite area is probably gonna be my drive in theater
Junkyard
It’s behind my ables sisters so it’s like a secret market
@plucky ginkgo if you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: theater” you can see what others have shared for inspo!
@plucky ginkgo go to the search bar and type in "in: #island-designs has:image <drive in theater>" for some more drive in theater pics
I beat you to it Nyack
My favorite area so far is probably my mushroom forest
by a milli second i was checking for grammar mistakes
Lmao Nyack you’re Mothra’s apprentice?
Lmao I saw mine while typing and figured I’d change it after. But you also went into depth with it 😂
Yeah he got Mothra’s approval and is her apprentice
That’s adorable
Hahaha then he was attacked by Marbles
a lot of work being her apprentice tbh, and omg that was funny
I’m working on making my filler areas color coordinated, here’s my yellow area!
Here’s orange
Would a book, book stands, rattan basket, or a candle look better on a barrel? Or what would look good
Mar is one of my favorite people
And here’s blue
@torn kraken depends on where it is located and the theme of that section but i think a candle would be universal imo
Dude you just posted a picture of bookstand in your inventory idk what you mean man
@torn kraken I think a book or candle imo. But probably depends on the area
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 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
Yeah maybe ill ask in the morning tysm!
I don't think night time is too dark in game so you can try taking a pic if you'd like or wait until morning!
Tiki Bar
so cute!
The best i can get
True!
someone pls tell me new places for my stores and museum. i’m stuck
Can anyone send me a pic of their entrance I’m looking for ideas
this is my island its urban/shopping mall themed
@woven plover this is my entrance!
@young birch just an fyi, you’ll have to move the bridges I think at least one space away from the RS!
I already adjusted.
Is there a place where I can ask someone to design my island map?
This is my entrance
Nice!
@woven plover this is my entrance 🥰
I’m working on this green themed area, what furniture should I put that’s also green?
Thank you guys I appreciate it!!🥰
All I can think of is different plants 😅
It’s ok I’ll put some bamboo candles and dolls around
Oh yeah that’s a good idea bamboo stuff!
U can put green iron stuff like benches and tables
Omg genius!
Can you see this?
Nope hahah
Thats what i thought
God nighttime is annoying
@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
😭😭 oh no
I hate building at night I just time travel to an earlier time 😂
@woven drift pepp dont call me sweetie, im not 2 years old. Not starting drama, i juust dont apreciate the disrespect. Thatll be the end of it
Also @vernal oxide yeah...i could try that. Can you make posts private on facebook?
Sorry didn’t intend for that
@torn kraken I think so? But I usually post my pics and then save them and immediately delete it from fb after
Your fine, maybe i just read it wrong. I tend to overthink things haha
Yeah i could try that...does it take a whule
@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
How do you sign up in facebook through switch
@torn kraken if you hit the home button. There’s a little image icon at the bottom of the screen. Hold on I’ll dm you
Sunset in the bamboo garden
Updated green area! Thoughts?
Tried to do some forced perspective stuff with the rocks but I dunno how I like it
what should i add here? having a creativity block lol
@hexed magnet theres a big list of ideas in the pinned section if you haven’t checked it yet!
Finished green area!
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 😦
@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?
Here’s my yellow area
@granite lagoon I like that path!! Omg don’t change it 🥺
@cursive smelt have u tried seperating them by a river? Or putting them on a different level. So u can have like a forest area and built up area?
It’s just filler areas I separate by colro
i’ve gotten all the inclines and bridges i can, i’m just trying to fill empty space
@vernal oxide awh okay! tysm ❤️❤️
@cursive smelt maybe get the climbing walls and turn them backwards so it looks like your entering a building?
i can try that!
Anyone do any good marketplaces? Im struggling on what to do
I'm not done with it yet but does the white path match the fountain area I can't find anything that looks cute that matched it :(
@woven drift pepper leave the trees
Making a Christmas Island. What do you think?
Cute!
I finnaly got the pictures to work first pic is a campfire area and in that empty space i was gonna add a little blanket custom designs and a picnic basket, and some flowers maybe a tea set. Im not sure if i should do it or not
Second pic is my orchard.....yeah its really boring looking
P.s i have the terraforming app so i could use that aswell
Maybe i could terraform a bit and move some trees in the middle and put a waterfall center...thoughts?
Can I get some ideas for a small orchard that does not look too squished in
@pure dew I don’t think mine is too big. But for mine I gave it a honey farm and a smoothie bar to make it feel fuller and has more purpose!
I don’t have an orchard
@torn kraken I think a picnic in the area would be cute!! Also for the second pic you could maybe have a farmers market with the fruit boxes and such!
@vernal oxide i havent gotten the stalld yet...hie di you get them
@torn kraken the stall diy comes from the machine inside the resident services!
@pure dew I don’t think mine is too big. But for mine I gave it a honey farm and a smoothie bar to make it feel fuller and has more purpose!
@vernal oxide thanks for inspo I might do that too :)
Can anyone help me figure out what to do with this bald spot right here? It’s just above my residential area (peep Skye at the top being a lil cutie ☺️)
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
@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!
thats amazing! and tysm 
Here’s a walkthrough thta shows all my colored areas! Feedback appreciated
Any river shape ideas? I have a long rectangular one and I don’t like it 🥺
@woven drift I really like how the colors pop! Also that winter music is so beautiful 😭
Tysm
couldn't find sterling for my guard tower area but rolf is doing his best 🛡️
@limber ginkgo you put my villager photo taking skills to shame. Stop it
@limber ginkgo love the nickname
It is possible to have too many waterfalls
No
@torn kraken no
Well not like game wise. But if i had 3 waterfalls in the area...its a large area would it be too much
@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
Alright that makes me feel better :) ty
how wide do you guys make your rivers?
i make mine like 2-3 blocks wide but in some areas it’s skinnier
anyone got suggestions on island aesthetics that arent quite cottage core but are also kind of rustic at the same time? sorry if im supposed to ask this on a different channel
what should i add to this area?
My rivers are tiny
@woven drift wow! I so wanna do smth like this now no idea how to start
I’d appreciate feedback on this I posted earlier but didn’t hear much
well i just got the island designer and im starting to work on the island
i just dont know if theres a name for what im looking for so i can get inspiration
also @woven drift your island is really beautiful, i really like it! maybe add a bench every now and then so your visitors/villagers can read a book outside or draw or smth
Ye I have some seats around
cool, i think its really awesome tbh
The theming for that little area is different colors
I dunno
What flowers would you use for money trees?
does anyone know what i could do with this area? it’s right behind my plaza and right in front of my park/house
Gold flowers
@small pulsar maybe a swing set with some bushes and flowers? since it's right in front of the playground
@woven drift I love it!! I love the different colors of each as you walk through!
@woven drift and I especially love during your walk through the orange breaks up the yellow. It’s such a nice touch
Thanks I tried to make my little filler areas more interestinb
how did you guys decorate your beaches? I'm stuck 😭
@green kite I haven’t done much. That’s the area I’m working on but here’s a list of ideas that might help!
I made this construction site a while back
y’all, what should i do?
Looks good
@vast stratus I’m getting a spooky feel from it. Maybe you can put a fortune telling set on the table in the back! Make a small fortune telling area. Not really sure what you need help with hun!
well, i’m going for a dark fall theme
My island theme is different colors
@vast stratus it really looks great idk what you should add, maybe orange - black flowers outside the fence. or just orange because o+b looks like halloween
how did you guys decorate your beaches? I'm stuck 😭
@green kite I have a Tiki Bar and a villager memorial, then just beach towels/chairs and coconut juices laid out around other random spots
@green kite I have a Tiki Bar and a villager memorial, then just beach towels/chairs and coconut juices laid out around other random spots
@limber ginkgo im looking for something different my theme is more gothy hehe
Can people send some island entrance pics? I need inspiration
thanks @lusty radish
Put some plants of different stages there to make it pop
yo
Here’s my entrance
That's great!
@exotic elm this is my entrance!
Here’s a walkthrough of my mushroom forest

@atomic harness I’m planning on putting butterfly model where the mannequin are
what should i do with all these land?
i also have a beach beside it. pls send insposs ahhh 
@high bronze a tiki bar that would be cute
Here’s a walkthrough of the colored parts of my island
I need ideas for my plaza area. I placed the shops here for symmetry sake. And currently there is brick path around similar to that in front of resident services.
Anyone have any tips on this area? The idea is to have like an extra naturey chill spot behind the campsite where you can hang out and fish. Idk if I’m trying to cram too many ideas into one?
And here’s the entrance to that area 🙂 the bridge basically divides sherbs house and resident services (sherbs house can totally move if necessary)
Does anyone has any nice farmers market areas they don’t mind showing?
@ionic raft I know this is kinda a late response but, it looks really cute!! Honestly I like how it is rn
@woven drift oh thank you! no worries about being late. will likely repost tomorrow to see if anyone sees something i'm not seeing, or if i actually need to just move on
That’s inconvenient
Has anyone got like a DIY market we’re they put and give away all their DIYs? Mine are just laying there and it looks like a mess.
Hey ya’ll need help
What stair should i use it’s for the museum
@night cedar stone!
Stone
I made aflea market in front of nooks
kk ty!
@summer pawn
Sorry for the Twitter link, but this is the entrance and courtyard leading up to my Haunted Mansion! I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on how I can improve on it 🙂 https://twitter.com/rareshibe/status/1296332999529623552/video/1
The courtyard area leading to the mansion #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/Qk1E5IMxvA
I’m sorry for posting this so much but I worked really hard on it and I want as many people to see it as possible
I have this huge chunk of land and got no ideas help a girl out
@shut pewter park with a picnic and waterfall behind it? or some sort of restaurant/shop with an area in front as the entrance or a natural seating area behind it
eeeeeee finished up my star gazing rock garden!!
@fair shadow it's so pretty! i love it
thank you ;w;
This is my fave part of my island
omg @modern ferry i love that kind of cave idea! it looks soooo cool
Thank you!! I’m working really hard on my island, hopefully it pays off lol
I’m going for an amusement park/ road side attraction type of vibe
nice!
What are your guys thoughts on my cute lil areas in front of my bamboo area
So cute 😍😍
@burnt osprey aw ty ❤️
how does everyone think of amazing ideas for their islands?
Hey! I’m looking for a design to go along the beach front (the right hand side) and I have this inspiration picture, but Iv already used it too much, does anybody else have some cool ideas like this?! (The picture is not mine)
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
@lost cargo but ty for the suggestion ☺️
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
Can someone decorate my island i hate it i suck a tterraforming
I just finished a shopping center. It looks ok but I definitely feel like there is furniture or other things that I could add. Let me know what you think would look good with this!
@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
It's not fancy, but this is what I managed to create with what little space I had, Victoria's house will be being moved tomorrow
unrelated, I'm so ready for the snow to bugger off next month
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ef2kBr1VAAEt71G?format=jpg&name=large
Thank you for the tips!
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
@opal bridge a little terraforming might also be nice for some depth:)
Where will the house go?
House is moving to another spot on the island entirely
I'm doing some major renovations to free up some more space
I made a wetsuit shop, still need to find a better custom pattern for the diving board though
That’s super cute!!
@magic fulcrum Tysm! 

@tardy pebble I haven't gotten around to looking for one, it always slips my mind ahah
can someone give me tips on making my island layout, i keep trying to design one but i keep restarting it because it looks bad
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!
I made a pretty simple diving board design in about 5 minutes
huh, that's how Gulliver keeps going overboard then
Does anyone know if there is anything in this picture that might be preventing the rocks from spawning in the empty spots?
Does anyone know if there is anything in this picture that might be preventing the rocks from spawning in the empty spots?
@woven drift the cliffs south of the rocks
@woven drift what charlie said. You can demolish the cliff and spawn the rocks then build it up again after
@limber ginkgo But there is no cliff close to the right spot
Ah okay, thanks!
tree out of frame maybe?
Hmm, will try that as well, thanks :)
looking for tiki bar refrence
looking for tiki bar refrence
@high bronze
im planning to build an art gallery beside the beach, would it be a great idea if i put some some cliffs to make it more majestic? my island is a bit messy and i have ables infront of my chunk of empty land and 2 resident’s house behind it. 😦
just finished my rock garden yay!! Would anyone like to share their rock garden?✨ looking for inspo to decorate! Mine is made into the classic circle
congrats tiff!! 
I kept mine simple, not as fancy as some of the ones you see here
you should share a pic of yours 
there's nothing wrong with simple, remember
KISS
Keep It Simple, Sweetheart
That's such a wholesome version of KISS 
but ty! I don't mind simple
it's just most functional for me with drifting joycons 
lookin good aero!! halfway there 
mine's pretty extravagant for what it is, the dream version has turnips & a shovel for people to destroy them 😂
ahhhh tysm guys🥺❤️ I managed to finish it on the first try with the help of this discord! Ah yes good idea! Simple is beautiful too
Hey guys does anyone have any cool woody mystical ideas
I saw him on tarantula island and I just had to take that good boi home 🥺
Like trees,cute path etc etc
Have you trying searching through images here yet Rozald? Just put in: island-layouts has: image [keywords] in the search bar and you'll find some pics!
try searching in: island-layouts has: image mystical and in: island-layouts has: image forest
@brisk junco this is my rock garden so far!! I guess I could keep it more simple because it’s apart of my museum design
@limber ginkgo omg your wetsuit shop looks amazing, can you actually jump off from the diving board?
@charred grove yup!

I love it!!!
I really like how you've incorporated it into your museum layout, it fits very well 
@lament knot the way you used the tiny trees aaaaaa
omg are they gonna stay smol
tysm @brisk junco ✨✨🥺 I will probably go with some flowers and white floor lights? gotta remember KISS😌
KISS 
omg are they gonna stay smol
@brisk junco if you put a sapling behind a tree it stunts it's growth
flowers and floor lights will really make it pop!
Ekkk ty Nikey ✨✨ I love it too sm! I love using the stunting technique for dimension
tysm nikey, looks like I need to put some tiny trees around my island 
haha
i believe it has to be a fruit sapling specifically, but I haven't tested others
yes!! I tried planting a fruit and a regular sapling and with fruit it stayed the same size and with the regular sapling it still grew full size
does anyone have some mystical art galleries i can reference? 
yeah sorry didnt specify
you can stop bamboo from growing with the trick too!
hello, i may be asking for too much but... is there anyone that can help me create an island template for my island using happy home designer? i will be willing to pay 1-2 million bells. i am not as creative as many people in this community
i just need a template to go by since i am not very good with proportions
does anyone have some mystical art galleries i can reference?
i searched for it but i can only see dream islands
💙
Like trees,cute path etc etc
Some inspiration for yall (maybe) https://twitter.com/mayorofhawaii/status/1296398541825466369?s=21
tetris paths 
Working on my in-n-out diner(1st pic). Does anyone have the code for the tray of burger/fries and in-n-out menu? (circled in 2nd pic)🙏
@lapis dock #custom-design-help🎨 ! 👍
does anyone have an airport that’s super close to resident services? Mine is and idk what to do (it’s perfectly aligned)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t06WYMyfxuo&t=29s i made a short showcase of my island, took me 600 hours to complete the project, let me know what you guys think
First time uploading video to youtube, hope you guys like it ^^

Finally finished the rainbow garden
@versed parcel this is super cute. I loved the camera angles you used and the other character to really add to the island and the video! And areas you made are absolutely stunning!
haha ty!! i try to make it more "cinematic" hahaha
@woven drift I personally don’t but a lot of people have used cliffs and a diagonal bridge to make their RS feel farther or to hide the RS! If you use the top right search bar and type in “in:island-layouts has: image: entrance” you can see what others have shared!
ty!
Because of the help of some people here and my patience being non-existent after a week of rock garden building (which made me tt, couldn't help it anymore), here is my finished rock garden. Thanks again for the help!
i'm planning on rediong my shopping area, does anyone have any inspo at hand that they can send over?
@zealous mortar I'm not sure if you mean a market or ables/nooks but this is my Nook's anyway!
and my Ables~
yeah, i meant the shop buildings, thanks!!!
Did something with my museum and store
Anyone who has their shopping district next to the community center? I plan mine next to it but don't have any idea on how i should do it ://
oh my you have oranges
i only need two more types of fruit i have cherries, coconuts, pears, peaches, bamboo and im missing two types of fruit
have you been playing the game for long?
@vale bridge I could use cherries and peaches
@vale bridge no just this month. I guess four weeks
can someone show me what their straight rivers look like on a map? I'm assuming all the pics i see start from the top of the map and go to the bottom i'd love to see how that looks on a map
ch so you have made no paths??????
@vale bridge there are paths. There is one shown in the picture
anyone have any good beach designs
yeah and you can make decking and stuff you tube the game
i mean the rivers didnt know you could giuliad223
how many people are in here
@rugged fern are you trying to make some sort of arcade next to the cranny?
pokcy i love you night garden
@oak gazelle it’s a start of one. I just ordered a break tapper too
@vale bridge usually your go-to is a tiki bar or a pirate area
@oblique basin i mean the lake why you want it straight
@oak gazelle i was gonna make a bbq area but trying to find the bbq thing is a nightmare
For beach designs I'm trying to make a little fish monger market on the pier side. And then I got a party area
@vale bridge yeah like the ones that are in the middle of ur island, you just terraform them so they are not curvew and all over the place, i have seen them be in a straight line
am i confusing?
@rugged fern maybe you could use box sofas or lava lamps, and ofc the arcade game (just some random items might help)
@verbal bison bong yes im trying to make a fishing bit for fishers
@woven drift thants well nice how did you make the sky like that
I don’t know, it normally came out like this
@oak gazelle I will when get more random stuff still only on my fourth week.
@woven drift i love the orange table
do yall remove the rivers for a city themed island?
I thing it gives some fresh vibes 🤔
@rugged fern i restarted my island a while ago too! i have exactly ten days in my island uwu
Think
yeah
@vale bridge Do the fishing tourneys with CJ, he gives out coolers, fishing rods, and dried fish things. Helps a lot
@woven drift yeah
Anyone have any good town themes? I have no idea where to put my shops. My paths are brick btw
@young sleet depends if you are going for that vibe of super cluttered, grey city (like japan i suppose) or just a average city, if it is the 2nd one maybe you should keep them
@oak gazelle I was thinking of maybe crafting a palm tree light and using the brick oven for a pizza shop area
I also have to many grass spots xd
@burnt fjord ive started a funfair project and fishing area
@rugged fern yesss! this would be for the arcade? maybe adding the box sofa or a diner sofa and table, and adding those pans with food
@vale bridge Ohh that sounds really cool!
@rugged fern how you make a palm tree light
You need the DIY for it
@burnt fjord yeah but its just finding stuff in the nook shops
Was just brainstorming, idk if I'll keep it but if it helps inspire anyone here ya go
@vale bridge The tourneys happen once a season and we get little notices like we do for our bug tourneys. Otherwise he randomly just shows up to buy your fish. The last one happened I think last month? So you missed it
