WHYYY
You could try visit foresty/nature DA's for inspiration, there's such insanely amazing island's
Im sorry for the bad picture, i dont have internet at work for my switch. Do you guys have any suggestions to make this area just around my house nicer?
isalnds...
Yes!! There are.. ohhh mushroom lamps
It feels so plain i dunno
f l o w e r s
Yes flowers
I want something taller id say
That match your nova lights
with how small your hill is thats kinda the only thing you can do
isalnds...
@warm wolf Shhhh now, shhhh....
we should all play....a g a m e . . . .
👀
I forgot what theyre called hang on ill look
Ty for the help ahhh ❤️
Nope, I do not want to play axe-hide-and-seek
I dont jump ahead but when winter hits yes!!! Or maybe buy some here we will see hmm
yes
Tabby is pretty creepy.. there i said it. Lmao
I feel better already.
And moose lmao
I weirdly love how crazy Tabby looks, not gonna lie 😂
She would be good for hallloooweeeeennn
She do be like 😬 tho
I dont think any of mine are ugly
@novella omg
Not ugly i meant creepy haha
Anyone want to play squish the roaches?
@mental rain GROSS NO!
Ooo!!! Yess maple and bluebear!!
now i wish i had better villagers lol
Thank you. Cookie, Maddie and cheri are my 3 to choose from. Love all 3.
Shep is my boy and I will love him forever
I think I'll just have an island full of cute little ones.. oh well on personality pmao
Lmao*
I used to collect animal crossing cards so thats why i have stitches fauna renee and punchy 
does anyone want to come to my island and give me pointers?
@red mason lmao I do too..... I think I have over 100 lmao. Don't judge me lmao
I had punchy on my first island. Until I got rid of it and started over because at the time I didn’t know we could reset the island layouts before settling into the game.
Wait what? We can?
Yeah if you exit out of the game before you go to sleep in the tent
Yeah but that also resets your villagers and stuff
I think.
Debating replacing rod with poncho and Wendy with cheri..
I dont think you can reset the layout and keep the villagers. If you really want punchy I have his amiibo.
Aww if you like punchy I hope you get him back!
Same! Punchy is a sweetie ♡
what i quickly made 
Cute!!
Love it ♡
Now to get rid of the stones and place all the mannequins and decorate 😅
I think 90% of my island is waterfalls theyre simply stunning in the game
Ty!! Ignore the barren cliff ive not started stitches toy area yet
eeeeeeee
man I keep wanting to use custom designs but everytime I try it just looks weird on my island
Last waterfall by my museum and nook store, not finished yet tho
Alot has changed at the beginning
OMG your island looks stunning!!! 
AHHHH i need the celeste recepies so bad
Also!! Customs designs look a bit weird yeh but in my experience when you have a lot of furniture and trees, the designs pull it all together
Alot has changed at the beginning
WoahHhh you have huge waterfalls wow! So pretty and colorful! I wanted a pastel or primary color/rainbow town but I found there isnt enough items I like for it yet
Sorry that sent twice. Thought it didn't send the first time
It takes alot to put a video on here :-(
my flyover is actual garbage I put all the good looking stuff on the left side
It's so beautiful 😭
Thank you ♡
HAHa mine is too my flower breeding and dumping pumpkin ground is in my flyover
My flyover captures my giant orchard and that's about it 😂
Lol I flyover my island alot and it was the first place I worked on ♡♡
I really hope they do a big update and add more diys and items ahha at least add old sets. I miss sloppy and patchwork
Its my 6th restart. So most of the stuff I carried over from my old islands. I wish we had more slots too
So I'm having problems with my layout I feel stuck and don't know what I should rearrange 😦
OoO yehhh design slots please
@rain matrix send a picture of your map ♡
If we somehow miraculously got more design slots, I would be beyond happy
Me too!! Some paths people make are like 15 pieces...
Or where your stuck on. Im in a creative slump a.t.m.
Creative slump is what I'm stuck with....
I have path borders everywhere and they take up sooooo many slots 😭
Don’t forget the corner pieces for the paths that are 15 slots
Yep! Exactly. They take up alot of slots
I have used zero custom paths, probably because my main town is mostly brick path but still...
I am a little too but thats just cuz i need to get the diys ive been needing and make those items haha
I like the villager mountain
It looks cute so far!! I wish that one person that was here yesterday was here they had good ideas ♡
My suggestion always for building/town slumps is to go on youtube and watch "acnh speed build"
Yeah the little hill is for my favorite villagers
There's always ideas in the pins if you ever get stuck!
I've been looking at Ninten Talk he has cool layout ideas
yeah
Pinterest is amazing for ideas ♡ and Instagram ♡
anyone need help? i'm trying to take my mind off things and i feel like being creative ❤️
I’m looking to build like a natural/forest my research area near my museum. Does anyone have any ideas?
Am I the only one that doesn't have my villager houses laid out according to who i like or dislike? 😂
ooh nah i kinda put mine in areas i'd see them wanting to live in haha
except kyle has the most space because he's my fave
@ionic raft Same! I've placed mine where I imagine they would personally want live
If they didn’t make the docks locked to a certain length when selecting an island layout to begin with. I would pay Tom nook so many bells just to expand the 10 plank docks.
Thats my map so far.
Omgggggg @glossy fog that looks so cool!!
it looks super hecktic but I like it
My layouts are punchy next to me cuz i love him, bluebear, marshall, renee, dom, nd maple are separate with their own yards. Judy and stitches are sharing a huge yard that is gonna be kidcore on his side and pastel rainbow on hers. Lasty diana and fauna are dating so they have there own corner hehe
*heckticck
ugh so cuteee
no
@glossy fog dude omg your map looks amazing!
Thank you so much!
i have erik in the forest, pashmina and skye together near the kinda fruity/fall festive area, chief, kyle, and zell in the mountains, maple and rudy by the orchard, ellie in the lavender field and sherb on the beach ❤️
Mines plain as a few areas are empty for ideas
Ty!!
If that a lake @red mason
Mine are scattered all over my "neighbourhood" area
Yesss :)
Your map looks sooo good!
Ahhhh I love the lakes!! I kinda wanna do one but I don’t think I’ll have enough room
I have too much room it feels like haha
My WIP map
ooooo thats so epic!
Oooo
@red mason that is awesome
Ty!!
@ionic raft I love your map!!
Since everyone is posting theirs 😆
woah the rivers are so cool
Omg wow!! And now I want to visit your d.a ♡
and the villagers are so color coordinated
Those look so fun! Very natural rivers are awesome
I love me some neutral colors
Omg yes they are!! Amazing map and villagers ♡
Awwww that is awesome @glossy fog
the quality is trash but bear with me
also in my halloween costume
you can also see the endless hordes of flowers staring me down
My campsite :-) on the 3rd floor ♡
Maples yard :)
Awwww i love maples yard!! That fits her to a t.
Ugh I still have to move the bikes and kick off that path lmao
Ty!! I wanted a very brown and green color scheme and earthy :)
Oooh so I need a bridge to connect ables to the mountain village. Would you do a straight zen/stone bridge or a diagonal suspension?
Does anyone else hate when you get a new path and put it in the place of another path? Lmao
Hmmm.. that's a tough choice
Id do suspension but id have to see to know 100%
Also why canr we put bridges between two land masses with no river ahH
so ables is kinda artsy with a handmade clothing market and the boys in the mountain village are all musicians so it's gonna be cool, but natural, so maybe stuff in the iron/stone family
so i'm deciding which bridge would blend the vibe better. stone probably wouldn't because the ables area is gonna be more warm toned
With the wood stairs in the back id do a wood bridge
do you consider the zen bridge wood?
Hmmmm yes
zen feels kinda fancy
I think itd fit maybe the black caps are a big off but cant help that
ngl I just put random crap everywhere yall talking bouta warm toned color scheme 😆
lmao i went to art school and do this for a living
Does anyone know where I can find some nice patterns for a barn wall? I'm working on my pumpkin patch design!
I didnt go to art school but I do draw and also just like my enviroment to match
Ngl i learned color on gaiaonline
aw that's so cool, never heard of it
my island has like a overgrown kinda thing going on and the plaza makes me annoyed
Its a forum website with dress up avatars but the dress up can be very insane haha
its just like a big empty space
and for the barn door, tbh twitter. maybe search #acnhcottagecore barn, see who made a barn, and see what creator codes they saved @hard bronze
awww i had a similar experience. that's so awesome. i learned graphic design playing neopets designing guild layouts and getting my account frozen because charging is against the rules 😦
@ionic raft okay thanks! I'll check there.
Also use the design search engine and broaden your search wood panels
of course ❤️ best of luck and feel free to tag me when you finish it
Omg neopets yes!
the one thing i don't like about the design search is people call the same type of designs different things, so you might miss some really amazing ones
Thats true! Plus foreign languages dont work
So you are missing a lot of incredible Japanese and korean designers
omg most of my saved creators aren't in english
i am really thinking about doing a wide angle shot of my entire island when i finish it as a gift to myself haha
You should totally!! And share it id love to see
Ill be counting every second till then
How does this look? Don’t feel bad to say it doesn’t look good 😌
i personally think it's too hard to tell from the island designer app
I like it, I think the rivers should be more round and natural but that's just me
but i always recommend more cliffs haha
Cliffs in the back part of the island could look good
Id love to see it filled up, maps dont do towns justice
Anyone have any island entrances that are straight to the RS i need some inspiration
also i see you like to have major landmarks on cliffs after an incline. one thing that looks really nice on island is when you have that incline leading up to the let's say..museum, then you keep walking, see more, and then go back down to the second level if that makes sense.
Ok ty
So I may switch the home plot and museum so the museum is gonna be under the second house
hey so honestly i would just do a general idea of where you want specific things. you totally don't have to go as hardcore as i did, but i would work on one section at a time. for example, i knew i wanted glamping by the beach and also wanted it on the bottom right because more space, so i just started on the bottom right corner and expanded from there
lmao idk if this is helping or making you more confused. i get too excited sometimes
Good... afternoon, evening or night, well, whoever lives in your country, I would like to know if you can give me any idea of a cafeteria with a dark wood floor, thank you! :3
It’s fine. It’s both lol
Does anybody have a bakery that can can post. I need ideas
I'm so bad at Island decorating. I wish I had all these fancy aesthetic Islands people have, that'd be awesome.
I know I'll get there if I keep my mind at it.
Does anybody have a bakery that can can post. I need ideas
@flint obsidian search sleepyluck on twitter. i know she has a really amazing one
I'm so bad at Island decorating. I wish I had all these fancy aesthetic Islands people have, that'd be awesome.
@woven drift there's actually an amazing island decorating guide on twitter. search sleepyluck
sooo convenient I have this saved
omgggg you had it ready ❤️
Alright, thanks so much!
quinn's my idol. i swear she taught me how to think like a designer in this game
and she's a teacher irl so her guides are on point
Wow, then she must be good! I'll check her out.
good 🙂 can't wait to see what you learn
So, I could use some advice. I want to put in some cliffs with a grand waterfall to the left of the dock but I just can't get it to look right
@woven drift here’s some of mine!
I want my entrance to be part of a larger landmass, perhaps with the museum or something on the other side. I was thinking of having it gradually dip down closer to the entrance but I just can't get it to look... good
Does anyone have a crescent moon pond? Do you do the water or the land in the moon shape? I've tried and mine always looks like a C
Cottagecore maybe?
I'm doing one of these but found unicorns for the stables
This took so long to make and it's not even finished
I can help anyone catch any fish that they need or bug or sea creatures any thing at all just Dm me what creature you need
@woven drift loveeee
@mental rain thanks
@mental rain I found this from someone on Twitter on how the crescent moon pond is made.
Thank you so much @untold lily !!!
You’re welcome.
my campsite entrance 🥰
It looks a lot nicer than mine😂
only a slight difference but 1st or 2nd pic better?
@kind grove 1st
@untold lily i did it thank you sooooo much!! Finally!!
I’m glad I could help you get it done
a fun idea to do with smaller spaces or in a grove of trees.
entrance garden
You guys... my island is such a mess it's put me off of even logging in to the game.... Like, I have a general idea of what I'm looking for, but then I see all the amazing things that everyone else has done, and I end up with serious choice paralysis. I really like the game, but the stress with designing my island is so intense... I don't know what to do....
im looking for a professional terraformer to terraform my island, dm me if interested
I’ve felt that @glass lynx
I take some ideas from several islands and try to put my twist on it
entrance for my brother’s island!
It was really fun to make because I couldn’t use custom paths downloaded for the internet, so I had to make some and use the premade ones
that's so cute!! great job :DD
I’m loving the Museum, it’s a big wip but it’s coming together good
im looking for a professional terraformer to terraform my island, dm me if interested
@wary bolt that's what I've been trying to do, and it helps. Halloween is my favorite holiday, though, and I'm just so upset I won't have anything ready in time 😭
im unsure what to do with my entrance! help. i dont like my current design
would yall put the Moai statue in a tiki bar its not the same culture
Can someone give me some ideas on where I can move my villager houses? Everywhere I try to move them looks so bad ):
i know ive sent this quite aa few times but any critiques? i feel satisfied with it but i feel like something is missing
guys which bushes would look best with a fake stone bridge with zen and iron & stone fences
Need a pro terraformer and island arranger please dm me, anything in the game available for payment if you want
im looking for a professional terraformer to terraform my island, dm me if interested will pay in villager (if i have then) or bells
@woven drift my eyes cant understand what I’m looking at, doesnt stop me from admiring it though
@glass lynx the best way to beat the stress it to limit yourself to one piece at a time. Pick a spot you want to decorate and design and take it from there.
@modest blade I don't think other players can terraform your island
@woven drift how about a tiny frying pan for the huge egg?
@modest blade I don't think other players can terraform your island
@soft flame no but they can give advice
@woven drift right but the wording in his post was asking for something else
oo! that sounds good, let me try it
and i’m scared to death right now there is a bee stuck in my lamp and i am so afraid
Are you allergic to bees. @woven drift
@woven drift bee careful 🐝
bee pun
also yes i am
Then my best suggestion would bee to trap it in the lamp so it can’t escape then set it outside and run back inside
my campsite ! still a wip, but i’d really appreciate some feedback!!
What color flowers should I use around Jacobs house?
@woven drift what does his house look like?
@kind grove not bad! Maybe add some weeds to give a grass effect?
Inside or out? Inside is a garbage dump
I'm trying to incorporate speakers into drago's area so I can play music, but I dont know what type of speaker as well as where I should place them. Any ideas?
@soft flame nookepedia says his favorite color is green, guess I’m cloning more mums
One sec I’ll send a pic
Ooo. I'll check it out. Thanks!
@indigo ravine
Also, any ideas on what else I could add to this area to make it look more... polished?
@woven drift that's kind of cute. Depending on his character you could lightly decorate the outside with some furniture
Furniture will come later
@indigo ravine lillies, grass, um maybe a panda bear?
None of my villagers have any furniture rn, I’m redoing my entire island
@woven drift ah ok
Rn im just trying to find some permanent places for the flowers I have grown
Let's see...a lot for the blue flowers look good with the green
Hello all! Currently working on Francine's yard, and I was wondering what would look better, a fan palm or the terrarium in the corner here? It would be placed where the fan palm is currently, but I only wanna keep one, I just don't know which is better here.. any thoughts on it? :)
I personally love the windflowers and the hyacinths
Let's see...a lot for the blue flowers look good with the green
@soft flame a nearby villager likes yellow and blue, so maybe I’ll just mix the entire area that way
@golden kayak I think the fan palm looks great there. I feel that the terrarium needs more items
@woven drift good idea
Hmm. Since yellow mums are sort of a lighter yellow I would try to pair them up with a blue that's not super dark
Like the pansies
@soft flame true, thank you! I'll probably throw it in another villagers yard or sell it then haha..
Hmm. Now where did I put thise pansies
@golden kayak you could potentially place it on the iron table you have
@soft flame pansies are kinda dark, imma use windflowers
@woven drift yes sorry, I meant to type that the pansies were too dark
Thankfully i have the breeding chart saved so I just looked at that before deciding
@woven drift nice!
Does anybody have some ideas as to what I should put outside of Reneigh's house? She's an uchi horse
Anyone have any ideas for marshal's yard?
@indigo ravine oooh! That sounds fun
@indigo ravine someone suggested to me last night about making his house a little coffeee stop
@indigo ravine marshal likes music, so how bout a live band, or a dj station etc
That's cute, but his home is in my forest district, by the campsite. I could do something like a cute little camp band area?
Yah that could work
@indigo ravine what about a little classy picnic area?
An acoustic guitar would be nice then
Or the 2 wind instruments we can build too
I'm hoping to find more Pinterest photos of villager houses
@indigo ravine I have marshal inside my whimsical forest/apple grove; red works well with his house
@plain forge wow that looks so cute and yummy
@soft flame ty!
How is it looking now?
Heres Gengi's home
Sorry for the blurry pictures, my hands get very shakey
And here is Kabuki's theatre
Heres how the Imperial area looks on my map
Heres my full map (about 2/3 of the way done)
@indigo ravine congrats! It looks great
I plan on making a koi pond memory garden up in my zen garden (top left)
oh nice, I've seen some qr codes for that sort of thing
Butterfly garden by airport
I'm growing a bit more bamboo for my imperial area, and then I can start with the forest area!
Need help for what to do here
I made Tokyo Disney themed island’s map! Plz come to visit and say hi 👋🏿 if you want me to guide , just tell me 😉
Any ideas for a nature themed marina yard?
i really need Cottagecore ideas
@green ingot super cute
@limber ginkgo Adorable
Yo, does anyone have like, a dark academia island?
I’m looking for small pond shapes can be anything message me what you have looking for inspiration
Hey I found two different smaller duck ponds 🖤 I know y’all love the one I have buuut it is kinda big so have some options...Happy Decorating
@woven drift check these out
Horror theme islands/rooms inspo?
Any ideas on what to do to the right of resident services?
My pumpkin farm (over 130)
2weeks old to the game, doing a little coffee cafe at nooks :3
So cuuuute!!
TYVM 🤭
Love my orchard ❤️
so pretty!
Anybody else get so stressed about the layout of their island? Nothing looks pretty on mine 😦
Lol me 2
Same
Same
SAME
My little cafe! I’m so in love with it
I don’t know what to put here. I am going for a cottage core inspired island. I need specific ideas. Any suggestions?
How would I do that? I like the ideas
@limber ginkgo do you have a Dream Code? Would love to visit! Looks amazing!
Do you have a photo of a laundry area 🙂?
Tysm! ☺️
Here I made a little cafe but I don’t know what to put behind it, what do you guys think
Maybe some flower plots? Or trees?
Hmm maybe, thanks!
@pseudo musk I love it!
you could add some ovens in the back or the ironwood kitchenette with more coffee stuffs on it
ive also seen some cute custom designs on those panels that looks like bread lined up at a bakery, tho idk if youre going for more coffee cafe and no bread haha
but maybe in general some panels with design would look nice? 🙂 i also like the ones that have those fairy lights on em
what should I put in this area behind the trees in my orchard? I'll have a butterfly garden above so I kinda wanna keep the elegant garden theme
An elegant statue on the circle up there
oo good idea
hope yall like my little pumpkin patch, i plan to add some pumkin fencing too <3
And either a flower cart or a bench beneath it
@toxic rapids I saw this really cool pumpkin patch that would suit that area, let me get a pic...
what should I put in this area behind the trees in my orchard? I'll have a butterfly garden above so I kinda wanna keep the elegant garden theme
@toxic rapids You could put a cute little cafe there 😊
oh wow that looks so cool! I think it takes too much space up though
you could do a mini version maybe? I am kind of obsessed with pumpkins at the moment
What about maybe an elegant little cafe?
I'll probably do that :)
thats such a good idea
And you could put a statue in the circle above as a feature piece, like @clear vale suggested
yeah, I just did that actually lol
luckily there was a good statue up on nookazon for cheap lmao
I made map
What’s the best way to make a giant circle lake?
What’s the best way to make a giant circle lake?
@grizzled moss mark it out on island designer so you can get the dimensions, then change as needed in game
A island in the middle too with pine and bushes
omg agreed on the island in the middle, that would look amazing!
wouldn’t you need island designer for any lake? e.g. a moon crescent lake
Island designer?
the website
you only need the terraforming mode to get a lake.
It’s a site where you can plan out your island
not the in game thing
A crescent shape is kindergarten level
lol
do you have pics? that sounds cool
🤔 well only creativity can stop you
controller drift can also stop u
🤣
I've made a basic island on it's own, because my creativety only goes so far
I fought hard and long against joy con drift while terraforming
I don’t have pics, but I believe if you search “koi fish lake” in the channel or on google you’ll find some
ok, ty
I bought my switch lite July 18th and it’s starting to drift this month 
I had to buy new controllers because of drift, it was sooo bad 😭
I have a switch lite and it cant handle my island, sometimes it forces me to walk really slowly because it cant process me running. also digging holes is a nightmare due to drift
and I cant replace my controllers
Yeah, that's the major downside to the lite, unfortunately
Mine started to drift after two months of Ring fit
Got it on day 1 release
I wish I had just cashed out on the proper switch
me trying to run to nooks cranny: 
my drift: no ❤️
Please talk about switch drifts in #general or #acnh-chat⛱️ !
i just bought a 35$ bluetooth controller because i couldnt stand giving any more money to nintendo
sorry
This channel is for island-layouts.
whoops
we got side tracked
Sorry about that Tiffany
Its allright, dont worry! just giving a head ups

I didn't let my nephews buy the Lite even before release since it had more cons
my motivation to make spots for the shops and museum: 📉📉📉
when pumpkins came out my island when from city to cottagecore really fast, it is covered in pumpkins
😆
I’m very concerned since like I only have 3 more buildings to move and I want them to cover the entire island and idk if I have the time for that 
TT?
no not time travel
like... it’s hard to explain but I don’t have the necessary materials for it
like bells?
mhm
See what I mean? It’s hard to cover the entire island with only 3 things
1 = the cranny
2 = able sisters
3 = museum
try having a stargazing spot or a cafe or an orchard to spill space
I could try that
if you spread your villagers out it can cover alot of space with their gardens
Yeah you have a point but I’m not the type to spread them out, I like making them neat and stuff
hey anyone have an idea as to how I can make a sort of walkway to resident services
the position it's in is kinda awkward because it's very close to the airport, you can see it from there but it's not perfectly aligned
Mine is 6 squares away, do you want to see it?
ok!
it a bit old since I have changed the stone paths to dirt, but the general idea is there
mines 8 spaces and I just made a waterfall entrance for it
also the flowers have changed to fit the season
and the bench is a more natural colour
the bridge is still there
oo looks nice
dividing it with the river would be a nice touch bc I'm already making little islands for other things
I was also thinking maybe surrounding the path with cliffs? Kinda like you see on a lot of cottagecore islands but idk if it's work with the small space
I wanted to do that too but it’s hard with such a small space
I might have to spend 1 mil bells to move my villagers houses 
currently I have a few awkward waterfalls
I found someone that made a moon pond with the 2 water ends and I might do that
Not mine. But this is cool?
ooo
I just finished my entrance how does it look
this is how my entrance looks really small lol
made a land bridge that leads to my museum 🌿
Looks so good going threw the jungle@woven drift !!!
thats amazing @woven drift
OMG, amazing
Is this not enough space to spawn a rock?
idk
@vapid abyss might wanna take out the bamboo on the left that might work if not try the stone next
I’ll dig up the tree and try again. Trial and error of my low effort rock garden 🙂
Pretty happy with my Nook's Cranny 
what one should I pick?!
yes
Mk
And if you dont like the island while exploring what you can, it's easy to close game and start anew
🤔 I didn't like any of those 4
I've never seen that kind of layout though
Does anyone has a dodo code?
this isn't really a layout (yet) but i thought it was funny how this tree is right in front of Blather's tent
My little forest area and agnes chilling 
Thats awesome Abyss
Thank you c:
@woven drift put everything on the beach.
That way when you get terraforming you'll be able to teraform freely without moving the homes around first.
wdym
@woven drift you should put the two villager houses next to each other
@past lily ya but where
@woven drift a player is able to move all the ground around later and build cliffs and waterfalls
It costs bells to move homes around and you will want to build a village probably - somewhere on the Land.
If you put everything on the beach at the beginning you'll have to pay just once when you want to move homes back on land post terraforming
Right now you don't have access to all of your land - later you'll be able to build inclines and bridges to connect things.
I made the mistake of spreading my houses around in the beginning
But yeah homes next to one another is good too - because you'll wanna visit them every day and it sucks when they are far
@gaunt oriole haha me too. And I put nothing on the beach and it took forever to move them somewhere so I can move them again where I want them.
my houses are all on the beach rn
So like once I get money and remove trees ect. I can move them back
@woven drift yeah. You'll also be able to change your rivers and your cliffs
you can move them wherever and whenever you like if you've got the Bells for it. Also you can move only one per day
Now that my houses are on the beach is much easier to find the crafting villager
Yeah I also built a village where everyone is in one area and it's so much better
Yeah i used to have that
But now that i switched to cottagecore
I prefer them spread out
Cottage core is so pretty.
Yeah but i'm not really creative 😅
I take a lot of inspiration from others but i try not to copy
I saw someone did an every flower garden and now I must try for it too
Just one of each flower - I won't copy their design but I love the idea
I'm thinking of making a lavender garden
um hi new
@gaunt oriole how would a lavander garden work?
@real tulip hii!
@real tulip do you need some help?
Np!
I'm gonna use purple hyacinths for it
I'm new to the server but I wanted to say hi
@trail acorn welcome!
hii, welcome!
Do you have a lot of purple hyacinths now
yeah kinda
just about enough
i don't wanna make it big
Small and cute
That's my way
My pumpkin patch is also quite small
but i somehow have over a 100
pumpkins
Haha in your inventory?
Yeah. I do as well but I initially planted a 100 pumpkin starts
Haha same.
Do you have to water the pumpkin plants to get more from one start or is it random?
Yeah you have to water them
Ok thank you
You water them two days in a row to get three fruits
i have this tiny little area before my bridge and i’m not sure what to put there, trees won’t fit because of the cliffs!! anybody got any ideas of what i can put here??
You should put a small table and 2 chairs as like a little sitting area
Oh yeah that would be nice too. And maybe some tiki torches as well
A Lily record player for music
Make the path wiggle instead of being straight and work with the spaces created by the wiggling 
I love tiki torches
A stall with coffee and such if you do the 2 chairs + table (iron table + chairs)
A red sleigh maybe would fit since it's so colourful
Is it gonna fit tho?

if only redd would give me the statues...
well you can always try in #redd-paintings-and-statues @indigo quarry

idk what to do with the area in front of my shop :T any suggestions?
That drain is amazing 🤣
@prime loom you could put a park
Got my library area mostly finished! 
It looks awesome!
so, i don’t know what else to add to my stargazing area and it’s bugging me lmao 👀✨
maybe a telescope or some celeste DIYs?
oh wait, theres already a telescope there... im blind
yea, thinking of putting one of the zodiac lamps and the rocking horse too maybe? ✨
i think that would look great!
Entrance to island so far. Any suggestions?
i like it with the waterfalls! what kind of aesthetic are you going for?
anyone got any sc’s of artist/painting areas? i have no idea of what i wanna do with mine aha ✨
Joey's beach shack ⛱️
How am I meant to remove that corner under the bridge? It won't work at all, this is so frustrating
How am I meant to remove that corner under the bridge? It won't work at all, this is so frustrating
@placid skiff walk to the right of the bridge (behind the tree), and slowly walk towards the bridge and mash Y. It's finicky but it can be done
was feeling creative so i finally got my spa area done! can't wait for the bamboo to grow!!
@placid skiff walk to the right of the bridge (behind the tree), and slowly walk towards the bridge and mash Y. It's finicky but it can be done
@limber ginkgo
Thank you so much!!
I've got this little area I feel like it's not complete though. Any tips x
Anyone have any Halloween themed islands?
My rainbow diner 😁
My rainbow diner 😁
@heavy idol that's so cute, I love it!
Thank you! It took forever to get all the panels but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!
A garden
i like it with the waterfalls! what kind of aesthetic are you going for?
@cunning heron Thanks! I was thinking of a mostly nature-themed look for my island overall, with some suburban and tropical aspects mixed in
Hi guys sorry don’t know where to go to ask this but does anybody have quillson as a villager? if so can i see how his house looks so i know if he fits in or not.
Thank you @woven drift
Np
Can someone with a natural/cottagecore island share with me their star gazing areas?
How can I get the shovel where I can create cliffs and waterfalls?
@cobalt plinth do you have terraforming unlocked? If so you buy that at the abd with nook miles
Tia’s bakery/cafe wip. Wondering, is the blue and yellow coloring on the panels too repetitive?
Can someone with a natural/cottagecore island share with me photos/maps their star gazing areas?
@woven drift I am not sure I’ll check now. Is that something that just appears?
You get terraforming after you reach 3 stars and K.K. Slider visits for the first time
@woven drift gotcha yeah still working towards that! Okay thanks!
Can someone with a natural/cottagecore island share with me photos/maps their star gazing areas? Please
How do I use green street lamps with cottagecore??
Do you really need streetlamps? Why not use the garden lamps instead
Or the hyacinth lamps
Lmao I love your response 😂😂 thanks great idea snd idk I just like the look of a street lamp
Streetlamps look better in a city style
I’m using hyacinth lamps for my natural/cottagecore island
What shoul i do here?
I think some bamboo up top would be cute, @dreamy hawk
https://twitter.com/IsleStarfall/status/1317261793404747778 So this is my entrance to Redd's / the secret beach, are there any tips you can recommend?
I like the pirate decor for his area
Does anybody have a dark academia themed island they could show me for inspo?
pirate decor? : o
Tye stuff from Gullivarrrrr
oh! I havent spawned him yet 😭 idk why >:
Yikes bro
@full pine i already have some bamboo stuff in the back :(
@halcyon aurora search 'dark academia' on youtube along with animal crossing, there are tours of places!
thanks!
I need a horror/jason fan to come take a look at what i made. Feel like im missing something
Can someone with a natural/cottagecore island share with me photos/maps their star gazing areas? Please
So I have this tree pattern all throughout my island, but I'm thinking of replacing the cedar trees with something else. Maybe a fruit tree? idk which one tho. Does anyone have any ideas?
@vernal panther i would make them regular hardwood so that when its sakura season they're pink! : D
I mean, yeah, but what about the rest of the year?? hahah
How could I go about making paths less redundant when using “the path”?
@vernal panther Maybe switch it with apples or pears
@candid breach pears seems like a good idea! thanks
yw!
When going to places such as villager’s houses and the museum for example
@dreamy hawk maybe you could put a seating area or a reading spot
@untold lily Wdym by that?
Try making patches of path instead of single lane paths
Does anyone have any ideas on what should I do with this big patch ?
@tidal pebble Should I use the custom designs app from the nook phone to do it that way instead of the island designer app and having to lay it down one by one.
That could work better
@untold lily you would have to go one by one either one you do but using a custom path will give you a little more play with how you make the path work for you
I will try that. Thank you!
I want panels, I haven't gotten them yet on my island and I need them for my shop 😦
@rain matrix you can ask in #cataloging if you need to catalog a simple panel
oh got it thank you!
Oh sorry I didn’t know there was a simple panel I thought it was a custom design
I feel dumb
lol its all good haha
When I unlock teraforming shoul I flatten my island?
it depends on what you want, it would be easier for planning out though to start with a completely flat island
Tia’s cafe base layout
filbert hangin out in the cozy corner in front of the shops 😍
So im working on my housing area what ya think of what i got done so far?
I got a glitched streetlamp from a giveaway and put it by my nova lights and uhm now it's glowing how neat
Any idea of what I should do to my island I’m pretty new I have about 90nmt should I sell them and move houses
@ivory vault the best advice i got was to move every moveable building onto the beaches and flatten my island to start terraforming (when you unlock it)! it helped so, so much! 🌸
Would I have to pay to move off the island or would terra forming do that for free
@iron coral
you have to pay bells 🌸
Dang it I don’t have that money😞😂
I need help with center piece ideas for my courtyard
This pumpkin is not working for me
And neither was a bonfire
So how do people do their entrances because i have absolutely no idea where to start 💀
@woven drift so, this is my entrance! probably gonna tweek it a bit but think the main feel of it is how i want it! 🌸
Beautiful and so gorgeous❤️ @iron coral
@iron coral it's beautiful:')
hi! do you guys have any birthday party designs/ideas? 🥰
I finally finished my camp site 🥰
I redid my entrance & I feel like it’s pretty cute✨ kinda basic cause I didn’t want too much going on lol
Hi
anyone neighbourhood ideas?
This is my entrance so far, I like the “small village” look but still thinking how to decorate it more.
love it!
My flowershop
cool!
does anybody have like tips or ideas for a fairy core island ? 🦋
What should I do with this area?
Help I’m trying to figure out what kind of bush/bushes would look the best with my white, gold and black theme?
I finished my bakery/café today🌱
Juz finished my ore field
Can anyone suggest what I can put in the center instead of bushes and the capricorn ornament?
Can anyone suggest what I can put in the center instead of bushes and the capricorn ornament?
@broken gull I think it looks fine!
@warped umbra thank you! I feel relaxed now.
@warped umbra thank you! I feel relaxed now.
@broken gull np!
@junior pilot definitely add some exhibits and maybe u could do a tree lined path
any specific tree? because I would decorate it with a T-Rex
Cedar is always a great option since it’s taller and adds some dimension to your museum but also it just goes well with the museum vibes @junior pilot
What should I do here
Can anyone help me decorate my island for halloween like help me with a pumpkin patch
i’m sick of lollys yard someone what should i do i wanna redo the entire thing
@rancid stratus I’m away from the switch but here’s mine for some inspo
Thanks!
Just finished making a garden area
so pretty!! i luv the black/blue/green flower combo 
Need some help on where to add more water and need ideas for Halloween/fall decorating.
@bronze tangle you could add a lake in the top left corner of your map
Hey guys I need ideas for a bamboo forest!
@mossy glade search in:#island-layouts bamboo forest has:image in discord's searchbar! 
Ok!!
Where should I put my museum?!
next to resident services
@woven drift Eventually you will be able to move all of your places around , like the museum- so I would suggest pulling it near resident services.
I cleared this area without a plan and now I need ideas
You could place a fountain in the center if it isn’t too big
Or make it like a city park area with vending machines and benche
Hmm .. has anyone ever done a glade near their house(s)? I'm trying my hand at one and am struggling a little bit
It's basically an open, sometimes circular area surrounded by trees with a bunch of flowers in it
I almost forgot my elementary school geography terms haha
I have a big area of land where my shop area is. What should I put there?
That sounds like it would be beautiful. I'd add some stone stools with insect models on it. @empty aspen
What shape pond should I put on that square? The size of it is 14x14
@tidal wyvern id go with heart
it’s too basic ish
I was gonna use the open area and put a bunch of golden roses and other stuff in it, then have an incline leading up to one house, then build another level for the second house and add a greenhouse there too. A large garden would be nearby.
@tidal wyvern haha I don't have any on my island so I like them cause I don't see them often.
Also ty for the idea! Now I gotta get some bug models 
@empty aspen yeah I always think of them when flick leaves.
Butterflies are so pretty
@tidal wyvern some people have duck shaped ponds.
I have a big area of land where my shop area is. What should I put there?
@eternal geode can you share a photo?
You could add stalls and a seating area or a garden etc. Not sure what aesthetic you're going for
@vast peak going for woodsy/nature theme
Not sure what to do with this area, any ideas?
@eternal geode trees and birdbaths etc would be nice but I can't really tell how big the land is and what it looks like. Flower carts and lily record players are nice too
@wanton apex ooh a cute outdoor cafe maybe?
Would it fit there?
It could be just the iron tables and stools and maybe a stall or two
If you clear the trees it would fit nicely
Some Lily record players as well. The trees could look nice there also.
I’ll see what I can do, thank you
Good luck!
I’ll get back to you in a bit
Oh no I don’t have the recipe for an iron garden chair
Oh wow that's so weird to me as it was one of my first ones
I'm sure they are easy to come by - check #diy-trade
The iron garden bench was one of my first ones but not the chair
I'm picturing the chair and the little round table
Yep
First time seeing my island had aurora 😯 it was clearer in game. Night were purple and full of stars. Moon also dark?
@broken gull what date are you on?
@vast peak Oct 18 southern hem
what are some things i can put here besides flowers that would look good?
@wanton apex a picnic area?? or maybe some bird baths and benches!! ❤️
@frigid kayak bushes? garden lanterns? maybe even pumpkins for spooky szn? :))
@azure pasture maybe a fountain and some benches and flower carts? would look quite nice i think :))
There’s a fountain area right ahead of it so I might do a bench area but I don’t have the right kind of bench
@broken gull a moon if there’s enough space? maybe the valiant statue? either of those i think would look beautiful
@azure pasture what kind of bench do you need?
Just the garden bench
@lone gate ooo love those ideas, thanks! :))
@frigid kayak no prob angel!!! feel free to send pics of the finished thing to my insta @woven drift.acnh!!! 🤍🤍
@azure pasture is it this bench?
Huh? 
@woven drift didn’t mean to tag u lol soz i was sending my insta handle 🤣
The photo isn’t loading but it’s probs the one I want
@azure pasture if you have the materials for it i can craft some for you? :))
What are the materials?
What a coincidence! Okay then, have a great day! 
@upbeat fiber butterfly models and benches!!! maybe add some pumpkins also!
@lone gate thank you so much! I was thinking about it too but I have valiant already on the back and a space themed nearby(w moon). I still appreciate your help 😊
@azure pasture hold on i’ll get back to you with that in a few mins, it’s iron and either hardwood or normal wood but i’ll check
@broken gull oh hahaha no prob!!
@candid breach terraform some fountains and add some lakes with bits of land in the centre with trees and flowers on top? idk if that makes sense if you need me to explain further i can!!!
@dreamy hawk a mix of bamboo trees and normal trees for sure!!! with a bunch of flowers you use throughout ur island!! maybe some kind of light sources like garden lanterns or floor lights! it all depends on what kind of vibe you want your island to have!!
Anyone ideas for a villager neighbourhood
Hi, I want to redesign my island but I need some inspiration, I’m thinking of something of a forest, midevil-ish kind of vibe
What can I put in this space here? 🤔
Just have to work on redoing the paths to my villager’s yards now
@proven kayak maybe like a little table and chairs with a plant or something?!
yeah that would look rlly nice!
New diner
@proven kayak a bamboo tree or a bamboo bench??
@azure pasture the materials for the bench is 12 normal wood and 4 iron 🙂
would it be possible to do that kind of thing? (the top of the map is in all level 1 and some parts level 2, the bottom is all in level 0)
Currently updating the area around my house ☺️
marshals house!!
This is an abandoned project of mine 💩 think it's worth salvaging? I don't really like it
It's supposed to be a meteor crash site but I just couldn't get it right
Does anybody have any ideas of what I could do to with this area
a cute pond 🥰
The only thing is there’s a river directly next to it
With bushes flowers or trees around it so it takes up more space
Or maybe a pumpkin patch
Oooo yaaa
Something looks off abt this part of my island. What changes should i make to it??
maybe add some fencing on the edge on one side
Maybe move the table down 1 and to the right 1. Then have the chairs at right angles to each other. Like a V.
I like the cottagecore and fairy type feel but I hate super cluttered places. Also I'm horrible about like island and cliffs layouts. Does anyone have suggestions?? I've been struggling for a while tbh :/
I finished my pumpkin patch do you guys want to see it
This is what I made
Do you guys like it?
that looks so cute!
any ideas on what i should do with this part? theme is kidcore btw
anything I should add to improve my campsite?
does anyone have a cool island I can visit I need inspiration
Is this a good distance away from the airport
@fluid burrow DA-9014-0717-3408 not my DA but if you want some nice forest inspo this adress is great
Progress on the river intersection, I made the river 3x3 so nobody can go over it without a vaulting pole, and I smoothed out the edges and corners
Does anyone have some ideas for what i can do with this small space next to resident services?
@quartz pond Flower garden maybe?
@bleak wind i already have that to the right of this space so i want something else, i tried making a playground but the space is too small to make me satisfied
Hmmm 🤔
What about a mini orchard, or a small pumpkin patch?
Or....maybe a communal area with a fountain in the middle and benches around it?
thank you! i will try both of those ideas and see which one is better ˆˆ
made a cliff waterfall surrounded by benches
the shop would look nice there imho
and lampposts in the 4 corners
@quartz pond You could always attempt to make a tiny island there, that might look cute 😊
im already satisfied with the placement of my shop, but what is a tiny island on my island?
Like this (not mine btw) but maybe not quite as crazy lol
oooh thats cute, but i think the space is too small for that xd
