Second time messing up and not putting into the cliffside 😩 should I leave it? Or put it in for more space? Pls helpppp

I was thinking the same I could do flowers or something on either side. But I was just thinking it would look more natural in the cliff side 🤨

Hey guys, I have this awkward spot behind some houses and I'm not sure what to do with it. Like something for a community area and particularly something that won't block Whitney's lil garden - any suggestions? (Garden ends with the last blue hycinth, everything else was just dropped)

wispy jay
#

@burnt osprey 😅

gleaming kelp
#

maybe a little butterfly garden or a seating/picnic area with the cushions so chairs dont take up the view @lucid osprey

burnt osprey
#

Not a bad thing tho still looks awesome

lucid osprey
#

maybe a little butterfly garden or a seating/picnic area with the cushions so chairs dont take up the view @lucid osprey
@gleaming kelp omg that's ideal! I can definitely work with that, thank you!

glad i could helpisahearts

thorny dawn
#

Anyone have inspiration for a blueberry farm with bushes? I wanted mine to not all be super orderly and in lines - buts mines a mess T^T Any help would be great!

gleaming kelp
#

@thorny dawn this blueberry farm is made by @scenic blaze and i think its very cute and creative!!

thorny dawn
#

Thanks! That's actually the island that gave me the idea to make a blueberry farm. Mines not as good as that one...

gleaming kelp
#

im sure urs is beautiful!

thorny dawn
#

Any suggestions?

gleaming kelp
#

i think you can remove some of the trees to have more open space and that way you can fill it in with the bushes

thorny dawn
#

Should I make the bushes more orderly? Like in rows? I just dont want to look too chaotic

gleaming kelp
#

some can be in rows, but make sure to scatter some just for the appeal

thorny dawn
#

Okay, I'll give it a try - thanks so much!

#

ooo do u already have barrels and stuff like that around ur export? maybe u can add it as an extension on the grass with oil barrels too @charred grove

#

@stable quarry do u have a certain themenooksweat

stable quarry
#

@gleaming kelp tryna do a foresty cottagecore theme ❤️

gleaming kelp
#

okay good cause i have some reference photos

#

i think all this naturey-plantsey stuff is cute decor especially for a neighborhood!! logstakes add a lot of appeal too @stable quarry (not my photos)

woven drift
#

Hey guys, I'm thinking of remodling (not restarting) my island. If anyone has any reference photos of a cottagecore themed island they would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

#

Can I see ideas for museums? I'm blank. Please and Thank you.

stable quarry
#

@gleaming kelp i try to do things like that but its just so hard eeeee i cant do it for some reason

gleaming kelp
#

omg no🥺🥺 u can do it i believe in u, just try not too hard to compare urself to others!

woven drift
#

Maybe try harder @stable quarry otherwise i don’t have any other solution

median vessel

that advice LMAOOOOO “just try harder”

stable quarry
#

@neon glen yeah, i mean, im not really in a place to criticize advice because i asked for but but i agree lmao

that’s like telling a depressed person 2 stop being sad

#

@modern ridge i dont have photos on me atm, but i do have 2 diagnal bridges leading up to my museum

charred grove
#

@gleaming kelp i do but an extension sounds good too cause it's a pretty small beach area 🙂 thank you!

gleaming kelp
#

np, also u can add rusted jail bars to give it that rusted import look @charred grove

woven drift
#

That’s close to rs??

#

I made a bamboo garden for the path to turn right

burnt osprey
#

Pretty close yeah

woven drift

It looks good, i cant think if any other way to decorate the entrance 👍

@cosmic bluff I haven’t done much with my beaches lol but here’s a small list of ideas!

@vernal oxide I did do a surf shop spot area stolen from an IG post lol but man they are tough to finagle - I appreciate this ty!

Hey guys

@cosmic bluff if you haven’t taken the time yet you can also use the top right search bar to look for specific things in this channel. Such as “in:island-layouts has: image: beach” to see what others have shared related to their beaches!

Hey guys
Hiii

Bro my resident services location is so bad im struggling so hard to make my island

pearl whale
#

Hi guys, any tips on decorating with black flowers? Other than a graveyard?

woven drift
#

Can I get some opinions on pathing please? I’m debating between these two styles. Or my third option would be to use the pathing in the first pic for areas around the shops, RS and museum, and The Path in the second pic for everywhere else

deep spear
#

i like the second pathing it goes with the white to me

gleaming kelp
#

me too

high sundial
strong shale
#

@high sundial do you have the pyramid furniture item by any chance? If you get it from Gulliver or trade for it I think that would work well instead of the tent. But it's still a cute idea with the tent!

high sundial
#

I might try that soon 😮 thank you for the idea

i’m restarting my island rn and i can’t chose which one should i do top or bottom

Oh okey! The video isn’t monetized either if it helps Lol (mods feel free to delete this if it violates any rules!) but uhh yeah I filmed my studio ghibli island 🥰
(I’m almost completely finished and my areas are too big for photos so I switched to video instead)

Hey guys,

I decided to refilm this island tour, because I’ve managed to grab a game capturing device for better quality!

I unfortunately forgot to film the rain scene area from totoro, but one of my older videos does have it!

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video!

In desperate need of some island ideas!!! I restarted my entire game and now I feel like I have so much space again, and I have NO idea what I want to do with my island now

@burnt osprey Thank you! 🥰
@woven drift I’ll have my DA up when I’m done, but it’ll probably be far from now 😅

@woven drift Can’t wait to visit when it’s all done!

@woven drift your island is gorgeous!

Also that photo had me so confused - am I crazy or does this kinda look like a skeleton at first glance

does anyone have advice on randomly placed homes

fringe heron
neon glen
#

@fringe heron im honestly not a fan of the fidget spinner dirt path LOLOL, maybe make it 1x1 and add flowers? or maybe add leaf piles?

fringe heron
#

LMAO OH GOD
I JUST NOTICED

#

No worries, I'll add leaf piles and flowers.
Just not sure what else I could add!

wispy jay
neon glen
#

i feel like you could move the log table + benches and make the rug like a picnic area?

fringe heron
#

That could work!

neon glen
#

like add a cushion and picnic basket on the rug and move the table and bench to the right

waxen flame
#

whoa thanks dude! also your island is real creative I love it!

Thanks for the help! I can finally shake the feeling of this area being forever unfinished!

@fringe heron I noticed that the custom paths looks a lot like the Game Cube graphics. Is that what you were trying to do?

Which statues would fit a zen and/or forest theme?

waxen flame
#

I'm gonna have to have 1 villager that lives on the beach

high sundial
limber ginkgo
tall pilot
high sundial
#

I would remove the opening so you can walk in there or make a little opening like a gate because it would be more realistic like if you could walk in and around the flowers. That’s just me though 🙂

steel charm
#

I agree. A place to sit and watch the fountain would be nice too, if that is possible.

sturdy ore
#

What statues would fit to a zen and/or forest theme?

tall pilot
#

I will remove the fence then

I agree. A place to sit and watch the fountain would be nice too, if that is possible.
@steel charm good idea but i put a children park above so i dont have place😭

Yes, I do believe so.

WIP of Ken's yard before 😴 ||his exterior is glitched and appears as Greta's||

sturdy ore
#

@sturdy ore stone diys statues fits nice
@woven drift I actually meant art statues

gloomy river
#

I want to do something weird with my island. I want it to be ‘Miami’ themed but I don’t know if I should go vaporwave or tropical style, what do you guys think would be best?

woven drift
#

Vaporwave sounds really interesting! I’m not sure how you’d pull it off but it sounds like a nice vibe

gloomy river
#

hmm ok! I’ll try it and post some WIPs along the way!

woven drift
#

Nice! I look forward to seeing it!

knotty wing
#

@sturdy ore warrior statues

sturdy ore
#

Ah, thank you

gloomy river
#

@woven drift I redid my entrance as a sort of vaporwave look to test it out. how is it? should I pursue this style?

woven drift
#

Ah wow!! It looks really cool, yeah I think you should go for it!

gloomy river
#

thanks!! I’ll keep at it then 🥰

woven drift
#

Nice 😌

rare basin
#

Oh wow I like that floor tile! I feel like a red/pink icecube arch would go really well with it

gloomy river
#

ooo good idea!

#

I’ll look into getting one of those

rare basin
#

Also not really a critique or suggestion because the style is so unique already so don't let me interrupt your funky flow; what do you think about pixelating your island via terraforming? Like all edges to cliffs are hard edges with a lot more square blocks sticking out or receding from cliffs?

gloomy river
#

that could be a cool aesthetic! I’ll try it out. ☺️ thanks for the ideas!

flint bane
rare basin
#

I like how the gong looks like it's part of the picture frame on the left

night fjord
#

@gloomy river not seen someone go for that style before but I actually think it'd be very worth it if you could pull it off. Maybe think about what season would suit it best too since I doubt you want to fill in your entire island with custom tiles. Maybe winter or Autumn would go well? Also, just thinking there's plenty of items that would fit the theme, like the neon diner sign maybe and hyacinth lamps etc

gloomy river
#

for sure! the diner set in general looks like it’ll be great. I hadn’t thought of seasons but the white of winter would look awesome I think!

#

nobody asked for it, but I present to you: w a v e h e n g e

night fjord
#

It's overall a very neat idea, not seen anyone else do it, at least in discord. Maybe use some floor lights for wavehenge as well?

gloomy river
#

oooo absolutely! I’ll try to get a bunch of floor lights, I think pink ones especially would look great. thanks!

night fjord
#

Could even use one colour for each rock maybe? idk how it'd look ^^

gloomy river
#

Ill test it out once I get some floor lights! thankssss

night fjord

no worries uwu

oh wow cocowow that looks awesome @gloomy river

@fossil marsh love it!!

gaunt oriole
#

Almost finished my entrance! Here's what it looked like before vs now

#

i need to put some more stuff

deft glen
#

@burnt osprey I really like it! My only advice is to add a couple palm trees on the sides to frame the area even more and add some blue in the middle as well, like a placed diving beetle or soft shelled turtle instead of the crab

burnt osprey
#

@deft glen ty!

#

If only they were in season lol

nova kindle
#

I think the holly bush is the best bush for a cottagecore isle just my opinion👍

steel geyser
#

how should i make a museum area, my theme is city/urban and idk how to execute it

nova kindle
#

Maybe put like an amber next to the museum or signs that say museum on it?villagerthink

night fjord
#

@tropic slate could use some extra stuff, but very good so far ^^

#

@burnt osprey I endorse what Chuck said, also just more of what you're doing already with that one room would be great! if the rest of the area around it had the detail that that chunk does then it'll look fantastic uwu

burnt osprey
#

@night fjord thanks appreciate the feedback! I was already planning on doing another market next to it maybe either a smoothie bar or a surf shop kind of thing, to match my market area

nova kindle
#

Should I change this part of my isle it does not really match my cottagecore theme but at the same time I like it idk what to do!villagerthink villageroof

If u like it u should keep it! I think it looks great@nova kindle

big fan of the statue. Guessing your going for a jungle theme?

junior burrow
#

Or tropical

night fjord
elfin wasp
#

yes tropical

elfin wasp
cloud marsh
#

@nova kindle I think you should keep it! One possibility if you want to modify it slightly could be to break it up into a few uneven and smaller waterfalls in the same space--coule make the thing feel more natural while keeping the glorious gnome mountain

elfin wasp
#

what should i put here - i was thinking picnic

night fjord
#

Definitely keep it open, that terraforming is really nice. A picnic would work, otherwise a nature feature of a kind of central path area that's nicely done. Anything will fit imo

cloud marsh
#

Yeah that terraforming is ❤

glass coral
carmine depot
#

Where I have the red flowers and tree how can I make that tiny space fit more to my theme? I don’t have a load of space but I want my island to all match! Ignore the space behind to, I have plans for that soon ;)

⭐Pulau Lynx's Floating Market⭐

This is my first attempt at creating something based off of an iconic place from my country (Indonesia)

@carmine depot Add some waterfalls behind, add a campfire cookware or campfire or a bonfire in front, stone stools with the campfire you choose and done!

#

@glass coral maybe that turtle fossil it looks like ur going for a tropical island or maybe that tiki looking statue lol wish I knew the names

Thanks @idle shadow

abstract lagoon
#

Does anybody know what I can do with this area? I know after a bit of cleaning out it would make a great spot for something, any ideas?

twilit crater
#

@abstract lagoon whats your theme?

#

also same gang lol

abstract lagoon
#

What are some examples of themes?

sudden dove
twilit crater
#

like nature, gothic, cottagecore, fairy-tale etc

abstract lagoon
#

Cottage core

glass coral
#

I’m trying to do cottage core and nature rn

twilit crater
#

Maybe a little cafe surrounded by mushrooms~ A mushroom cafe~

night fjord
#

@abstract lagoon city and medieval castle themes are also fairly common too

abstract lagoon
#

Do I have to build a cafe

twilit crater
#

nope

glass coral
#

When you wanna ask how to get the mushroom items

night fjord
#

oh and water and tropic ones too

abstract lagoon
#

What do I do for that

twilit crater
#

its just an option!

night fjord
#

@glass coral you can get mushrooms and mushroom DIYs in autumn/fall

abstract lagoon
#

How would I make a caffe

twilit crater
#

@glass coral you craft it!

glass coral
#

Ooh

abstract lagoon
#

Could I do flowers too?

glass coral
#

I’ve timeskiped to September and got the patterns from Sable

twilit crater
#

Yeee

abstract lagoon
#

How do I get a cafe

glass coral
#

So what month do I get the mushroom DIY’s?

night fjord
#

@abstract lagoon any way you want to really, if you want you can ask in here for inspiration on cafes, there'll be plenty of people with them. Or you can type "has: cafe in: island-layouts" to see previously posted ones in here

#

you make the cafe yourself with items in the game

abstract lagoon
#

Like tables and stuffs

#

Everyone’s island is so pretty wtf

#

F means frick btw

steel widget
#

Lol

glass coral
#

Ok lol

neon glen
glass coral
#

Mine doesn’t look that good-

night fjord
#

@abstract lagoon Yeah basically. Mine is relatively developed to give you an idea, but you can have very different looking cafes. I've gone with a dark colour palette but I've seen white/light ones etc

abstract lagoon
#

How do I get the wooden floor/concrete floor in the normal grass

glass coral
#

You’ll need three stars for that

night fjord
#

you need paths, which unlock once you have a 3 star rating for your island from isabelle

abstract lagoon
#

Well frick I have to wait a while then

glass coral
#

Oof

night fjord
#

yeah, but you'll get there. Terraforming and paths are a big game changer

glass coral
#

IKR

neon glen
#

getting 3 stars is v easy, just add flowers and furniture everywhere

glass coral
#

I legit just put a chair down and got a four star

abstract lagoon
#

I accidentally put a bridge next to a store and now it kinda sucks because the bridge is kinda pointless

carmine depot
#

@glass coral sorry for the late reply but thank you so much!

glass coral
#

Np

abstract lagoon
#

I have like 16 flowers behind my house so-

night fjord
#

Also, everyone inevitably thinks that everyone else's island is more developed than theirs when they come in here, try not to worry about what everyone else is doing. I have over 500/600 hours in the game so when you see my island or other's it's unfair to compare. Just work on your own, take inspiration, incorporate stuff into your own and repeat ^^

faint path
abstract lagoon
#

I have this bridge next to the store and now it’s very limited 🥺

neon glen
#

?_? confused, why is this bridge so bad

night fjord
#

well bridges can always be deleted later and replaced elsewhere. Your island will probably feel cramped at this stage until you get terraforming and can work with your whole island

abstract lagoon
#

I have this cool location for a small lowkey campsite

burnt osprey
neon glen
#

ooo wat is the code for that patg

night fjord
#

Said it before when you posted and I'll say it again, I think it's very well done. I like things to be detailed but also have a path through that makes sense while walking, and I think you've managed it ^^

glass coral
#

When you time skip a month for the mushroom DIYS and get many weeds

abstract lagoon
versed wadi
#

When you time skip a month for the mushroom DIYS and get many weeds
@glass coral decorate enough with weeds and it ceases to be a problem 😉

night fjord
#

A campsite can work well there. Are you at the point where you have the actual building or do you mean building a campsite area in general? @abstract lagoon

abstract lagoon
#

Like set up a fire and leave the log stumps there

night fjord
#

oh for sure, that could work very nicely uwu

abstract lagoon
#

Hang on I’ll let you see the flowers behind my house

glass coral
#

Yeah I tried decorating with weeds but I removed them afterwards

abstract lagoon
#

That’s all the flowers behind my house

#

Oh here’s a big detail, I’m on the part where I lay down the 3 house plots

glass coral
#

Ohh

granite cloud
#

nice

glass coral
#

I used to have a glitch where it wouldn’t check the item but just end it with the chair and put it at the side of the table.

neon glen
#

tbhhhh dont worry about island rating for now, just get more plots

#

your rating will go up as u get more villagers

abstract lagoon
#

Doesn’t Isabelle come in a few days?

glass coral
#

Yeah

granite cloud
#

I feel like my island is worse than everybody else’s

abstract lagoon
#

NOO

#

Deep down, everyone’s island is just as beautiful.

twilit crater
#

anyone with a nature theme have ideas in how to decorate the outside houses in the woods without it looking too out of place?

What is that stand at the top

glass coral
#

Oh, a stall?

abstract lagoon
#

Yeah, can I unlock that some time?

glass coral
#

Yea you can

#

But you’re going to have to check the beach for the DIY

abstract lagoon
#

Is it buried?

woven drift
#

you get the stall diy from the nookstop once resident services upgrades

neon glen
#

its not from the beach

abstract lagoon
#

Oh yeah that’s another thing how do I upgrade it

glass coral
#

Ooooooh lol

still summit
#

30 days since it opens I think

glass coral
#

I thought it was from the beach cause I remember about diy bottles

still summit
#

if you have someone with an upgraded cranny you can buy the recipe from theirs

#

yeah, some store bought recipes shows up on the beach too

neon glen
#

@still summit i dont think u can, since u cant use other ppls nookstop

still summit
#

not the kiosk

#

U can buy it in the kiosk

glass coral
#

I really need Nintendo Switch Online so I can trade

neon glen
#

yeah but the diy recipes from nooks cranny doesnt include the stall

storm bluff
#

@abstract lagoon if you check the pinned post in #game-help-questions❓ there are a lot of answers that you can find about the game, such as how to upgrade your nooks! the people there are helpful too~ this channel is for anything related to island layouts and design :)

@worldly notch super late response but I just happened to scroll up on the chat - depending on the cliff (i.e. if it's decorative) sometimes it's not necessary to add anything! I also dug up a neat ladder design you're talking about tho, so it's attached in case you want it. I coincidentally use the door panel design in that pic to make one of my areas seem like a two story building where you can walk in via the door for the cliff in the back so no incline was necessary whitneywink

Finished paying off my house in the third-ish week of playing when my nooks was buying turnips for 400+, and now I just use gold roses, sea creatures, and cleaning out inventory to fund the fees for inclines/bridges/houses

@plain forge @nova kindle yes! Thank you so much!! I think I will start buying turnips again

#

@wispy tiger if you also have somwhat popular villagers that you don't personally want/are willing to kick out, villager trading can yield lots of bells and some nmts, and if you're not pressed for nmts, you can sell a stack of nmt typically for 1 mil bells in #materials-and-tools

Hey guys,

I decided to refilm this island tour, because I’ve managed to grab a game capturing device for better quality!

I unfortunately forgot to film the rain scene area from totoro, but one of my older videos does have it!

@night fjord Oh I get it. Hmm I think that leaving them wouldnt be that much of a problem, just that the space is now too empty that the focus point would be on how close these streetlamps are. I think it will be fine to let them be and just decorate the place more

Awkward pathing, but definitely looks better. For now i'm happy with it so thanks for the help ^^ might come back and change some stuff later

Guys I really need your opinion. I want to do a cottage core theme, but I have gotten pretty far using this brick path (I'm also very particular, and would like my paths to show up on the map). But, like every other player I've fallen in love with THE path.

So, should I do all the work to start the paths over, making them more twisty-turny (downside being the work, and that they won't be on the map), or can I make cottage core theme work with the brick?

vernal oxide
#

@stiff crypt I think adding some weeds, shrubs, flowers, and maybe some rocks (diy rocks) it’ll really add to it!

@vernal oxide ok thank you!!

lusty radish
#

if you absolutely love the brick keep using it !! if you love the path so much you need to use it then just use it!! my whole island was stone paths then i switched to cottage core & used the path. i think it’s worth it. just do it little by little @icy sedge

limber ginkgo
#

you could have brick paths for "main" paths and use the path for shortcuts?

icy sedge
#

@lusty radish thank you! I honestly think I will like the path more than I like the brick path. I only really like the brick because it shows up on the map, and it matches the Resident Services plaza brick... I think if I change to the path it'll help blend everything into one cohesive theme.

@limber ginkgo I have a second stone path (you can see a tiny bit in the left side of the image) that I've used for secondary paths all around and on my "villager island" in the middle lol. I think these stones will mix better with THE path than they do with the brick

ionic raft
neon glen
#

@icy sedge i’d say change it to the dirt path if you think itll match w the stone paths more ! tbh i dont think your whole island has to match the residential service bricks, i like to think it’s the central building(tm) so it gets its own special brick path LOLOL

icy sedge
#

@neon glen I think I'm going to! I have brick EVERYWHERE and the more I see it, the more I'm starting to hate it. I think I'm going to leave the stretch between my museum--residential services--nook's (all in a line) brick, sort of like a "town square". Then use the path everywhere else

what have yall done with your streams?

@woven drift I've kept my streams basically exactly how they were originally (with minor tweaking to fit in bridges and a few villagers homes.)

Hey ! I don't know where I suppose to post this but I would like to make a mill on my island but I don't know which furniture use to make it, I was thinking about a silo with a wind turbine behind, it seems good? And if you have any idea I will take it aha 🙂

night fjord
#

this is pretty much the right chat. Idk, a mill is kinda hard to make in the game. if you mean a windmill then what you described sounds like the closest you could get to it. A watermill could be possible but I really wouldn't know how

tardy dove
#

So I've restarted my island, I hated where my resident services was. This is an old pic, i now have all my villagers, both shops, and museum.
Where is the best place to start? I have ideas of what I want done (none of my houses yet so feel free to drop some) just dont know if i should start in back or front...

idle shadow
#

@tardy dove u should probably start in the front at the entrance or start figuring out where u want ur villagers to be placed so it’s easier to terraform without them being in the way

tardy dove
#

@idle shadow I have no clue where I want them 🥴😵

idle shadow
#

@tardy dove do u have a theme or like a color scheme for ur island?

@wanton oyster ive seen people use stone arches as tunnels to kind of end it

idle shadow
#

@wanton oyster make the train tracks go into simple panels that look like a tunnel I’ve seen it before and looks pretty natural

@tardy dove if u want to make ur villagers have a natural theme making them spread out is ur option but if u want them to have a city theme u should put the them in a neighborhood it’s all ur choice if u want natural or city tho!

@idle shadow thank you so mhch for the advice!

@woven drift ahhh okay, thank you!

@night glade I get out of work in about 5 hours then I can order you some if you want

I’m also thinking of adding more fencing and changing the colour of the pond

#

@woven drift wow that’s such a kind offer, thank you!

mossy glade
#

Hello I’m stuck in my island layout and I wanna change my neighborhood but I don’t have any ideas what to do with it

night fjord
#

@mossy glade there's some neighbourhood layouts in the pins, or you could do a more natural placement around the island depending on what you're doing with your island as a whole

#

Or at least I thought there was

mossy glade
#

@night fjord ok and I don’t have a ideas for my island theme

night fjord
#

okay, well just to give my approach, I have mine placed around my island and they have their own areas that are extensions of what their inner houses look like/what I think they'd like

frigid halo
#

I just

mossy glade
#

Ok

#

Decorate individual areas once I get ideas... my island is still a train wreck

#

Decorate individual areas once I get ideas... my island is still a train wreck
@frigid halo that’s how my island was till I found a theme I can work with well

mossy glade
#

I have an idea for my island theme but I don’t know if I should do it

woven drift
#

Do share

mossy glade
#

My idea for my island is fishing

woven drift
#

I’m not sure how you’d execute that

night fjord
#

Fishing would probably be decent for an area, I don't know about a whole fishing based island

mossy glade
#

Me too

night fjord
#

there are plenty of fishing related items/furniture

mossy glade
#

I get it

night fjord
#

you could do a marine based island though, so maybe tropical/ water based kind of stuff

mossy glade
#

I like that idea

night fjord
#

then farm the fishing jamboree for a bunch of fishing related items, use mermaid stuff too

mossy glade
#

Ok

night fjord
#

I think it's quite likely someone will have done that kind of theme too, so you could find some inspiration whenever you get stuck ^^

mossy glade
#

And I have the villager Eugene and I have a spot for him but I don’t know what kind of fencing to do for his house

night fjord
#

hmmm. Depends. If you want to go for a set idea for his garden then you'll need specific fences, but if you're stuck for ideas, think about colours of their house and their interior

mossy glade
#

And he came yo my campsite

#

To*

#

Ok

night fjord
#

So if it's a country looking house, maybe use country fences or simple wooden, if it's a more beachy looking house then use bamboo fences, if it's a brick/stone house use brick/stone fences maybe

mossy glade
#

Ok!!!

night fjord
#

I think you get the idea uwu

mossy glade
#

I do

The lattice fencing is also pretty nice with beachy houses btwisahearts

@sharp jetty Sure!

@glass coral maybe a small stall/market area? or some machines like snack machines and stuff, or I have a playground next to my nooks'

quite a lot will work there even if it's a small area

the cafe idea is also good though ^^

I have more Softwood and Hardwood more than Wood

@fossil crater
Try designing your island according a theme you like?

night fjord
#

There's a lot of themes to go at. Cottage core, fairy core, gothic, marine, tropical, city, medieval

#

take your pick, or even make a new one like the vaporwave one I just saw yesterday ^^

fossil crater
#

the thing is i dont have a specific theme i like- thats why im just asking for ideas. idc what theme it is--

glass coral
#

Yup! I have som customating patterns, if you befriend Sable in the fall she’ll give you patterens and there’s one called Cool. You can use that.

night fjord
#

oooh and western + egyptian too

molten vessel
#

I didn't have a theme for my island either, I just fully designed one small area and ended up doing everything else in theme with that

night fjord
#

Well, idk I'd suggest just making areas you like first rather than coming up with a theme for the whole island

glass coral
#

Same, I was trying to plan a fairycore island but it didn’t really work

sharp jetty
#

I feel the pain for the fairycore island oof

mine's honestly just a mix of stuff I like

mine's honestly just a mix of stuff I like
@night fjord that’s how I started now I have a village/small city

molten vessel
#

tbh I didn't find much joy in island planning? once you design one area, you'll just expand from there

sharp jetty
#

Agree ^

fossil crater
#

@frank mist I have a heart pond too! :D

frank mist
#

if i have pears and ugly villagers imma be sad

#

I had one but it was blocking the entrance so I had to get it removed

#

like these are 3 completely different areas on my island. I just skip between themes depending on what villagers live there

#

I like your fountain plaza, I've gone for something p similar

fossil crater
#

I have way too many fruit trees on my island qvq

frank mist

yeah, it's a little different now. I had a normal light theme version of that fountain area too

Eee I need bells but I don’t have Nintendo Switch Online to get some bellssss

would use if my custom designs weren't already full

yes but i need to:
relocate all the paths
take out all the flowers
