Quick add another present to your museum decor!

@limber ginkgo what’s the issue? :))
Hey guys! I’d love to hear some opinions and feedback on my museum entrance.
I was thinking of placing some object in the middle, right where my character is. Something 1x1!
But i can’t think of anything, so do you guys have any ideas?
odd question but does this seem like an awkward layout to navigate? if you have any critiques lmk :3

@latent verge maybe a statue there would look nice!!
@marsh jasper not awkward at all, look really nice!
@marsh jasper not awkward at all, look really nice!
@austere fog okey, thank you!
@marsh jasper i agree it looks really nice
only thing i'd say is that you have 10 inclines on the planner, but you can only have 8 inclines in-game! so i'd adjust to remove two from your plan.
ooh, i didnt even notice that!! thank you!
Hi! Im looking for some inspiration for a forest portion on the left. what do you guys think of the little hill layouts on the left. Im planning to create a forest area with lots of little hills caves and levels to it
Offset items , arrange items in 3's or 5's or other odd number , use harvs island to practice arranging items
Added these custom panels behind gayles house? Do they look silly?
no @west jewel
@ripe lion ty!!!
Any suggestion on what to put of front of her house instead of the spooky hay bale? Had that there for Halloween
a potted plant
Anyone have any theme or combined themes they can give me
Need help deciding the theme of my island
I have a rural-urban mixed theme, if that helps?
I don’t know what to add in my island any ideas? My theme is beach
@low glade a watermelon farm? with the watermelon balls if you have them
@fluid flare dang i dont have
Hey, I'm just unlocked terraforming and am so stressed and have no idea where to start my island
Any help would be greatly appreciated
What should I put in this awkward shaped beach space? It’s in front of my treehouse and next to my campsite! (Tag me ^w^)
@woven drift you could make a little lounging area, or a spot for bonfires!
hey guys! i just finished my first playthrough of the game and am now working on my island, does anyone have any suggestions for styles as im completely stumped for ideas haha
@sonic shale hows a zen island or a beachy island
@sonic shale I'm literally having the same struggles as u, I have no clue where to start
a zen island sounds pretty nice tbh, and it was pretty hard to think of ideas as im new to the whole game haha
well, new ish i guess
Anybody have any ideas or photo as inspiration on how can I decorate the outside of stitches house?

Hey guys I need ideas on what to do with this area 😊
@pseudo marsh what about a swimming pool area?
That could work it’s is also by a flower garden
I need design ideas, which road looks nicer, the rocky path on the right side, or the dirt path on the left
@idle void im a fan of the dirt personally
@pseudo marsh u could do a greenhouse design if it’s by flowers and u wanna keep the natural vibes
@turbid mortar hey that path you got there is really cool. mind giving me the code for it?
bob’s toy market
super adorable @neon glen !! 
Been working on this area that leads up to my house - the area around the mushroom stool feels empty. What should I put by it?
Also would it look better with a different colour?
Hey guys! I need help designing the look of my villagers houses! I don’t know if you can really see on the map but they’re all sort of in a line on either side of the river. I’m putting a lamppost on the left corner but behind that I’m lost it looks rather incomplete
@austere fog thank u!!
should i add anything else to my entrance? besides decor on the cliffs lol, j just dont have anything yet
I need some taste advice, cosmos or hyacinths
cosmos!
Cosmos, they look like they fit better
Can anyone give me some advice?
I’ve been designing this area and I wanna know what I should put above and below the mushroom stool (bottom left)
Also should I change the colour of the mushroom stool?
maybe a mush lamp? or a birdhouse?
That’s actually a really good idea! I’ll go try that
Not really fitting with the theme that well...
Wait!! I got an idea
What color pumpkin would look best in this field? I’m thinking orange or green, but white could probably work too
I like the orangr ones but it depends pn the growth stage. Not fully grow ones would be yellow or green
I guess that’s one way to think about it, yeye
I’m gonna do a little bit of experimenting
Okay so this is what it looks like with all four colours of pumpkin
Which one looks the best?
I really like the white or yellow! They're lighter and stand out more :) And the more I look at it I think I prefer the yellow ones! But ultimately it's whatever you like the best
help help, white or brown menu sign?? 😖
White! Matches the accents of the cupboards and the tables and chairs!
should i add anything to my entrance?
hi, what can i put here? my island is natural
Behind my home
Maybe a little picnic area or a garden if you don't have those yet?
aww a garden would look so cute there
i try thx you 🙂
Sorry for the bad quality pics. Really need ideas on what to do with luckys house. Had the stone fence that I just took down. I have no clue what to do w it 😫
What should I put in this area? My island kinda a mixture of fairy and cottagecore
@merry cedar add a little water fall and a seated area with a tree and flowers
I’m kinda at a standstill in my game any ideas on what to build?
Honies I want some inspiration on an outdoor bar, make the magic happen please
Is there a way to create a cave? And a secret entrance?
Finally found a spot for my campsite!! Hoping it'll look nice tomorrow 🙏
@marsh marten Archway and black panel
And use the rock archway diy
@rain quail thanks
@marsh marten Archway and black panel
@hoary harbor thank you
Finally found a spot for my campsite!! Hoping it'll look nice tomorrow 🙏
@zenith roost reminds me of Wonderland 😳
I'm not sure which fence to use in this area :/ (or a completely different fence)
I like the spooky one 😊
uhh.. the wooden one.
Lf inspiration for a Japanese themed island!!
Does anyone know how to make the circle where the flower is?
Does anyone know how to make the circle where the flower is?
@woeful magnet im pretty sure you would need custom deign paths
design**
I have completed life.
Found a little cute baby bear in my Candyland dreaming about sweets + his future 💜
class is in session 😴
Honestly this is just a question? Do you guys like the village houses more spaced out around the island? Or do you like them more uniformed. I’m redoing my island and can’t decide if I should keep it uniformed or switch it up 😂

@gusty nimbus I have mine split up
@limber ginkgo do you have a dream? So I can visit yours?
I haven't updated my DA in a long time but I do have a pic of all my villager yards! I tried to fit their home in with their area @gusty nimbus
@gusty nimbus i split mine up too, it just feels more open that way
@gusty nimbus I had mine altogether & I didn’t like it. I have them in different groups now instead & I have way more space on my island
mine are split and given a theme
@woven drift @turbid mortar if none of you either remind do you think you can message me a picture of your map so I can get an idea? I think it’ll help me be more creative! Unless you guys have dream addresses!
@gusty nimbus give me a moment need to time travel quick to finish construction on a bridge
Take your time!!
@gusty nimbus
I have this decently big - 10 by 7 i think - open section of my island that I just don't know what to do with...
Does anyone have any inspiration or ideas?
Is that your secret beach in the back? You could decorate the area for Redd, I've seen lots of people do like mini pirate coves, or little art galleries and such. Mine is just a little hangout area for him with a clothesline and a little beach chair and that kind of stuff :)
Ooh that might work, I have a few fake paintings laying around i think 🤔
What is a good path and some good furniture for an outdoor cafe?
The iron garden chairs/tables and also the natural garden chairs/tables work really well! All the furniture pieces are 1x1 so they take up very little space, and all of them are customizable so they can go with just about any color scheme! As for the path, usually a brick or a wooden path looks cute for a cafe 😄 I would first find a path that you like and then customize the furniture to go with the color scheme!
Ok thanks. 😀
Attempted to make a moon island and I feel like it looks like a C? Any suggestions? Going to remove middle land piece. Just put it to take the pic
Idk how to say this to make sense but I think the ends go out too far lol
idk
you could try making the ends shorter but idk
can you try doing this and see how it looks?
Perhaps it needs to be more rounded on the inside
@west jewel
@misty relic I tried and it makes the tops look too skinny 😦 I’m also apparently TERRIBLE at terraforming Lmaoo
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c4/56/0a/c4560a390ca308cbffa88f2c0ddd720c.jpg @west jewel Is this what you're going for?
@misty relic yesssss!!!! Ty for this pic I can’t get any more bridges tho to hide any weird spots. I’m gonna put trees on it, etc to see if it looks better. And try to mess around w it some more to look more like that one
@west jewel I tried to draw squares over it to help you, I didn't get the squares in the back behind the tree tho because I can't tell 100%, maybe this will help!
It's a little messy lol sorry, did it with my mouse
@misty relic omg you are an angel. Tysm!!!! This is v helpful
No problem!! Let me know how it turns out :)))
😊
yesterday / today 🗿🗿🗿
All finished!
spooky
@west jewel I used this guide
thanksss haha
How to decorate the peninsula on an urban island 👌🏽
any christmas/holidays inspo ?
@turbid mortar omg ty!!!!!
I found a really good island layout but it has a short boardwalk is that a big deal
I’m looking for inspiration for a shopping center
What can I put behind and in front of my mushroom stool (bottom left)? Some more flowers, furniture or maybe even fences?
@torn geode I love putting decoy ducks on my mush stool
Does anyone have inspo for a cute pier that is on the left side of their island
anyone have inspo for decorating/terraforming around shaped lakes? i make the lake and then have no idea what to put around it 
Looking for any inspo for christmassy islands :)
idk how to feel about the front of my resident services
any ideas to make this better?
That looks so nice I don’t even have kk yet
Have an empty spot right by town hall and also by my daughters home, would like some ideas, maybe a shop of some kind, something with fall vibes. Already have a coffee shop.🤔 open to anything really
I have just reached the point where I am spending most of my time customizing and editing my island. Looking for ideas to theme "dark" "evil" "occult" "horror" "lovecraft". I have a basic outline, i just need to find the right items to get the job done.
@torn geode if it were me, I'd put some kind of pattern. Leaf pattern, or acorns, or a stone pattern.🤔 assuming it's an autumn vibe, go to the kiosk and search autumn or fall, I got my patterns there.
@brazen horizon it looks really good. There’s nothing wrong with it
thank you ❤️
How should i start customizing my island? ( kinda scared my sister or my dad might get in the way ) But should i move houses first? Do paths?? Im just confused
Little reading garden between Diana and Julian. Im proud of it.
i started acnh weeks ago and im trying to get k.k to visit my island - i have fence that i havent used, but i want to use it now but im not sure where. does anyone know any tips? 
Guys, should I move my campsite in the middle of the moon or move the campsite and make it an cute aesthetic area
cute aesthetic area
Yeah
These aren’t the best looking areas, but i worked hard on them and i’m proud of them
wow those cropped badly
Hey guys! I need some help! I am saving these spots to move some houses! Should they be touching, or have a small space between them? I can’t decide...
Well when I say touching, I mean there would be a wall between them.
oh okay
But I will try the little space! Thanks!
i’m stuck on ideas for how to connect that little gap, it’s going to lead into my residential area
Anyone know of any good barns with farms I could use for inspiration? I found this on google but looks like I need two levels to do them but I’m building on my top layer. Any help would be great.
I am at the stage where I am doing a lot of decorating. Only one piece of my island is clear now, so what do I do with it?
gotta actually post a picture give me a second
Would anyone wanna help me? I have this small area I’ve added to my island but idk if I should move stuff or what to do with it: I know that if I move villager homes I can add yards but Idek what to do for their yards. I’m terrible at planning yards
I made this (my island isn’t done)
aw cool!
@limber dome thank you baby✨🌸🌈 soon I’ll have a dreamcode for you aallll
i started acnh weeks ago and im trying to get k.k to visit my island - i have fence that i havent used, but i want to use it now but im not sure where. does anyone know any tips?

early morning kiki

an outdoor picnic area
@woven drift thanks. I moved the two front houses back a bit then will add the flowers
In between the houses? Never thought of that
It looks great! 
still tweaking it but my toy station/market is p much done !! 
i have an area on my island i really dislike but i don't know what to put there instead . its lie a amusement park area on a small east facing beach strip next to merengues café. but its way to pastel colored and just depressing looking. doesn't at all fit the rest of the island and it has to go. desperately need help . i would be happy to provide more images or a dream adress and reward amazing ideas in some way 😊
hahahah its so pastelly
i have a cafe next to it and it makes it look even more depressing cause the cafe is cute
i just finished the basic lay out for my villagers homes, and I have lots of space in between each home, any ideas for what I should put in each space and what kind of fences I should use?
u could give them their own yards maybe as you have a residential area?
Ya there own yards kinda based on their personality would look good or you could make them all the same if you are wanting your whole island to matcch
Do you have like a specific theme you are going for?
You can't go wrong with some trees and bushes too
any ideas to make this little peninsula not look so choppy? I am thinking a different floor that can be rounded vs square tiles?
@desert meadow ya I think that a rounder floor would look better it looks good tho
Thankyou! now to find a floor 😂
I’m making sort of a cottage core town for my island! Any ideas for how I could incorporate more cottage core into it?

I officially finished my cottage/fairycore entrance! Anything I should fix?
it's too symmetrical for my liking but i think it's okay, u don't really have much space to do anything else since ur path is 2 wide @merry cedar
@neon glen do you have the code for this design? I’ve been looking for it
Love your island btw
@crystal finch thank u so much!! i don't have the code for it tho, sorry!! i downloaded it a long time ago
you can try ask in #custom-design-help🎨
Np and no worries! Have a great day😊
Im working on my market place rn. You guys have any tips for further decoration

i need halp with decorating for christmas

can somebody come to my island and help me out?
Idk if this is right place lol but i do island layout planning services!! Dm me if youre interested/wanna see photos of my island or anything
Trying to fill up my yard in front of my house. The right side is a little empty.. any ideas on what I should put there?
Need villager exterior housing ideas.
My villagers are Tia, Marina, Aurora, Skye, Octavian, Stitches, Fauna, Judy, Zucker, and Bluebear
can you guys vote so i am redoing my whole island and i don’t know if i should put my villagers houses on a cliff or on the ground
Id say ground unless you have an interesting way to incorporate the cliff houses
Do you have like a specific theme you are going for?
@molten flower
I kinda wanted to go with a soft core theme for my island, I might make their yards based on their personalities I just need some more diys
@glad crown You could try placing half the houses on the ground, and half up on the cliffs
Been working on a small painting area on my island
What should I title this photo on Reddit?
This is my little cafe. What do you think? I feel like the area where my character is standing is a bit empty other than that I think it's good.
@torn geode ooh that looks good
i wis i could do that lmao but i suck as landscaping and decorating my island
You should title it, “eating with a homeless friend to keep them company.” @woven drift
I don't understand
Tabby's house is literally in the photo
Oh...
Well excuse me for thinking that background is a prop.
It's both!
What?
the left stoop leads to tabby's house! the right stoop is for decoration
What should I do with this empty spot in front of town hall? The nook shop and ables are below it
@merry cedar Do you have a theme or any context
@merry cedar maybe add like some benches and a fountain
You can make like a mini park with it @merry cedar.
@woven drift it’s a mixture of fairy core and cottage core
Oh, my island is completely urban so I am kinda lost from the cottage core fad
@woven drift ya same
What’s a core?
"core" is for some reason a way people say "theme"
Oh.
Idk why or how it makes sense, I just roll with it
@molten flower about ur cafe I would add maybe like a leaf pile there or something to fill up the space but still able to walkthrough!
@idle shadow OK thx maybe like the cherry blossom pile
Yeah that’s what I was thinking I feel like it would work well with the color scheme as well
This is an example of my theme
@idle shadow ya thx for ur help
@merry cedar maybe add some like cliffs and a path way down to the shop along with like trees but idk
Ok thxs for the input😁
Rebuilding my island has been more work than I thought 😩
@woven drift it means getting rid of all the cliffs and “starting over” leaving the entire island at one floor so u can terraform without there being water/cliffs in the way!
Random area at the back of my island during sunset 🌇
I just moved able’s to my peach orchard, how do I decorate the surroundings?
Sorry for the bad picture :/
I have been working on my island for a while and I am loving this mini library that I put next to the playground
I like it!
Oh and here is a bit from my statue garden as well
I wish I was that good at the game :(*
Can people DM me like pictures of their island maps? I need inspo for my rivers because I need more space and idk what to do with them!

have a straight path right to resident services, and use resident service likea center hub for paths that lead to other areas. Left, right, up.
excuse me can anyone help me with the layout of my island I started a new copy of a acnh and need some help
Do you mean picking a layout when you restart?
no I’m in an island rn but I just need someone’s advice
I just put down the cranny and the 3 new houses
so now I’m just waiting until tmrw
but I need some help to lay it out
o and also I GOT ZUCKER AND I WAS SO HAPPY

I wish you could customize the rose bed into blue or pink
@tight fjord Cute!
I have a lot of empty space that I don't know what to do with. Any suggestions?
It's definitely a work in progress,, but here's a winter view from my island ^^
Anyone have an idea of what I need to do with this space behind my able sisters
:/
Asielzoeker you could probably make an outside clothing market or display.
My little cottagecore/natural Island is progressive very slowly osince I don't have much inspiration rn but I hope I'll find some soon again

Taking a break from things you spend a lot of time on is also important 
This isn’t mine but I think it looks cool
should i do anything else for my entrance?
WIP but here’s a small piece of my universal studios inspired island 🙂
Anyone have any cottage core entrances?
Does anyone have a nooks that's got cliffs behind it? Looking for some inspo for my nooks
Anyone have any cottage core entrances?
@rustic scaffold here's my cottagecore Inspired entrance!
I would do cottagecore but I can’t decorate for the life of me
Cottagecore is cute but I feel like a lot of it leans into cluttercore and my switch does NOT like crowded areas.
I hate running around offline but my game acts like we’re on wifi with spotty connection lol
Oof
That's really nice, tysm!
idk what to do here
Thoughts on my museum so far?
gImmee
Ty
I’m trying to fix this
Does anyone know how to place the trees like she did? (Not about the star fragment things)
Has anyone done any decorating with the bedroom sets outdoors, and if so how did it turn out?
@proud crystal i dont think you can without hacking
Anyone have an idea of what I need to do with this space behind my able sisters
@flat imp maybe build up a couple layers of cliffs? Maybe a waterfall and some trees and flowers?
Hello everyon! I restarted my Island and I'm not sure what kind of an Layout I want. Would you guys maybe send me a picture of yalls maps for inspiration? Thank you! :3
@woven drift
Wip still though
Oh wow thats nice! I actually wanted an Island with both outlets on the south, but I'm not sure what to make of it.
@versed wadi i might be visiting your DA in a moment
👍 hope you have fun 🙂
It just looks like its gonna be beautiful and hopefully inspire my next project
Those Islands look siiick
@versed wadi ok your island is what mine aspires to be, i love it
Thank you. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with 🙂
Swap it out. I’m still changing paths
This is the path I chose but it now covers about 70% of my island I don’t wanna have to redo it all
i really need more water on my island but i’m lost on how to go about it
Yeah its a bit brighter
Well, after seeing your island i was thinking of using the in game paths the way you did, in circles
Sweeties I neeedd you allll I wanna do a unciorn wonderland 🌸🌈🦄 does someone has ideas. First of me is to move Julian the. Unicorn to it and probs adding Pink spring rides as unicorns 🌸 but need ideaaaaaaassssssss of what else! LOVE U
Use lots of kiddie colored items @woven drift
Look up a kidcore island that should help you add color to the island and make it feel like unicorns live there
@plucky hatch dont @ everyone
.bs @plucky hatch 5 Please do not @ everyone; it only pings the administrators.
✅ Bee Sting Given!
jaded.gabe#6786 was given 5 bee stings!
@woven drift it looks fine just make sure the path is 2 paths wide
Yah but the creator made the path with extra blocks so it could be wider
you can make a maze, i have a mini one
@woven drift hahah I knowww by whole island is a pastel kiddy core wonderland but I wanan do an ACTUAL unicorn land 🌸
@woven drift @cunning marsh can u guys visit my island and give me some tips I just reset it

Im making an outdoor Italian restaurant and wondered which type of wood looks better? Natural or Dark?
im planting flowers around one of my villagers houses, what colors should i use besides white? my theme is cottagecore btw if that helps
yes, this house if beaus house

I'm having a hard time terraforming my rivers and my cliffs can anyone suggest a site or any opinions on how should I improve?
Does anyone have a fairy core island or like a pink core
Does anyone have tropical island theme ideas?

Little shopping district area
does anyone have post office inspo? dm me 🙂
Margie lives on my island so I decided to pay a small tribute to the animal crossing movie, and yes KK Bossa plays on the cherry speakers!
Do yall think I could use these circular patterns, with circular patterns of the in game paths
yes!
Well thats both good news and bad news
Good because then I can free up 9 pattern slots, bad because i have to redo 70% of the islands paths
i've done it and it looks nice tbh. the limit on custom designs is def hard :/
Well it’s very aesthetically pleasing
Well after seeing another island today they made the in game paths look amazing the way they were used
does anyone have any thanksgiving inspo?
Murphy lookin at the anchovy in my wip fish market 🥰
I would wait till the update since we dont know whats gonna be in it @gaunt bison

Hi! I can help you layout/design your island for bells/nmt! If you want u can get photos of my 5-star island for proof as well!
Could someone help me make a layout for my fairy core kawaii island
@ocean lava maybye start with the entrance. You could do a fountain, or some waterfalls. If you don't like it, you can just change it later. No stress!
which fence fir my pumpkin patch?
@woven drift I think the country fence would look good
Hey, anyone have some suggestions for an island layout wanting a Tokyo/city vibe for my island(ignore how I need to finish flattening and changing my island)
@remote pendant thanks!
What should I do with this area? Was gonna be a area for my museum but it wasn’t even. 
last pic of this area 
Hi! I can help you layout/design your island for bells/nmt! If you want u can get photos of my 5-star island for proof as well!
any ideas on where i should put my museum? im not keeping the houses or shops where they are, will probably change the river as well.
Anyone have suggestions for an offset town hall?
doing a diagonal bridge from the entrance to the town hall can be really cute if your RS is offset but close!
@warm wharf or maybe if you don't want a bridge, if you're hoing for a cottagecore/fairycore/ anything similar, you could use 'the path' and just go diagonally
if it's an urban city theme, just go with a straight road, and then to the right (?) ahhh i don't know how to explain it
but yeah
Hi! I can help you layout/design your island for bells/nmt! If you want u can get photos of my 5-star island for proof as well!
Can someone help me fill in the left side. I wanted something that felt like a house.
Maybe this chicken coop? But it looks odd to me so idk.
@sour lake maybe you can try doing something like this? but i don't know exactly how much space you have :'')
maybe not exactly like this,, idk maybe change the patterns
I feel like something is missing
That looks really good unfortunately I’m at the highest layer on my island. So I can’t build up houses like those.
aw,, sorry then :((
Great suggestion though!
Yeah i do! I’ll try that out
maybe use some stalls on this side
And yes that is the one and only yuta nakamoto
stan nct stan talent :>>
Oof yesss 😫
wait a sec
you could use some stalls customised with this design:
looks like two could fit there
What should I do here?
maybe an outdoor cafe? or have you done that already
Oo thanks! I think I will do that!
Cuteeeee🥺
hehe thanks <33
Hi. Can I ask your suggestions? Does the seat infront of my museum kinda off? Im rly stressed out what should I put in the center. I already have fountain behind(park) so I need something else on this spot. thank u for not ignoring this 😊
@woven drift thank you! I'm trying to make it look elegant or something uniq 😅
I love it
@woven drift that's nice suggestion. Imma try it ^^ thank u.
@tired heath thank you too
In need of suggestions to make my boardwalk arcade feel more authentic 😣
*im planning to add a prize counter and seating near the game tables
Does anyone have any ideas for cute community areas? I’ve got a little cafe and a arts and crafts area atm 
maybe a cute garden? with a fountain and a few benches around
It’s getting there
I would love a suggestion for this 2x2 floating square!
i suggest adding a shrub, two flowers on each side and a decoy duck!!
A duck! Perfect! Thank you!!!
no problem!
Can someone please help me with my island layout ? I want to have more rivers and make it more white cottage core and idk where to put my village houses .
How about this 2x3 patch?
let's see
maybe an iron garden bench? and again a few flowers... or maybe a crescent moon?
I have way too many crescent moons and benches already, but thanks! Any other ideas? I’ll definitely add flowers
Oooo I might do that!
Hi! I can help you layout/design your island for bells/nmt! If you want u can get photos of my 5-star island for proof as well!
Should I swap out fang or Alice for someone else???
Lol
Alice is adorable, but out of the two, it's going to be her
Thoughts so far on my layout?
She won’t leave tho
You could also take out Apple or Axel
It’s been 3 weeks of ignorance and she still doesn’t want to leave
I love axel tho, but I’m ok with apple
@warm wharf I like mini-island designs. Is that middle part going to be a waterfall? Not sure how having Able Sisters on the side would work though
Yes I plan to have a waterfall that splits into two rivers ^^
Axel is my birthday buddy but I don't care about him really. Who says I should respect birthday twins, they aren't my real twin 
👉🏻👈🏻 I got a little excited to redo my island and had to draw up a whole map
I like him and cherry cause they were my starting villagers
What's the area around Able Sisters going to be like?
Well since I have that one lump of land on the side, I was a bit perturbed.. I could turn the top into a wider shelf with the museum and ables, but I want to split the village in half on either side of the river with 5 people on each side, I wanted to make the museum shelf a bit sciencey with a observatory theme
I could put my home on the one side.. but I was going to make the inner isle a like.. welcome hub? To greet visitors with town hall and the shop and maybe my home
Like this maybe? @normal olive
That looks nice
What kind of spots are you intending to put? (parks, fun fairs, arcades, cafes, etc)
Hi! I can help you layout/design your island for bells/nmt! If you want u can get photos of my 5-star island for proof as well!
Well, I wanted to make a few little common areas, a music area for Kyle and cookie, an exercise area for my jocks, and I want to make an overall garden
Maybe by the shop I can make a little cafe
I have some snooty and lazy that would fit well with a cafe theme
I suppose I wanted to cater my island based on my villager pool
My progress so far on my vision
Any ideas for decorating marple’s house?
@cedar mountain I’ve decorated hers with mush lamps, clothes line, pot just cute things like that 🙂
Fog in the city
@woven drift wow I love ur island designed good 👌 mine looks more like a village with park around
Thank you!
Love the streets
My lake. Only area that makes it look pretty tbh.
im so tired and out of ideas how to create my garden TT
Same. My only garden in this game is the breeding area so it's a mess.
Hi! I can help you layout/design your island for bells/nmt! If you want u can get photos of my 5-star island for proof as well!
Only area I'm proud of.
I have another pond area but it's a mess and covered with trees.
woah that looks sick
agh so vibrant, i love it
Can someone help me with mine
I will pay if needed
I’m making a fairy core candy land island
And I need help making a layout
i have a lot of spare space and have no idea what to do with it, could anyone give me any ideas please :))
does anyone have that video guide that shows you how to get rid of these corners?
Guys I made a plaza for my shops, should I elevate them with terraforming instead?
ik it's not the best cuz I just started my game yesterday but I made a little hangout spot on my beach near my house
Cute!
Does anyone know if there is a way to make a star pond?
@west jewel near-ish the bottom. 
https://gamewith.net/animal-crossing-new-horizons/article/show/19024
any ideas on how to make my boardwalk more realistic? Someone said more lights
@spark dune tysm ♥️

does anyone have that video guide that shows you how to get rid of these corners?
@hollow kayak you can get rid of them??
Decided to rebuild my campsite with a bit of mushrooms
I hope i get the mush lamp DIY soon
I got all my mush DIYs. Just did a trick and got em all with balloons.
I literally havent played ACNH all month so i guess ill have to do some time travel to get those
It took a while but I finally got a visitor at my campsite! 😊
the only recipie i have is for the wreath that isabelle gave me
oh who? Also your island is so pretty!
It was Gonzo! :0 Either way, I'm glad the tent didn't block the blanket!
@zenith roost beautiful!
Anyone can help me decide if I should put my shops on a hill instead of like this please :(
Need some ideas for villager houses
@bronze tangle that’s the yard of Flurry. I just put some laundry stuff as she’s a huge housewife and I put a pumpkin yard near hear house. Hope it helps! :)))
@tacit gyro I love that
@woven drift so well done
@west olive I’m gonna wanna go for a more natural look I guess
@dim dune oh you can put able in front of nooks since it's smaller than nooks. That river is fixed?
Wdym fixed?
I mean are you gonna change the river that you have now
I mean I’d want it there yeah
And also how would I even place it in front without it looking weird
I flattened the entire island so everything I’ve done is from the ground up so probably not except maybe some minor changes or something
I would place down nooks first and then try to figure out placing the ables. Or you can actually put able after the river so there will be bridge in between
lil' lumberyard.
Yeah I’ve put some pathing to show where the bridge will be, I’ve already planned for a bridge over but I’m not sure exactly how I’d place it there since I’m gonna wanna decorate around it as well, which might end up making it a bit too far away from the river while the decorations will be very close? Dunno, I guess I can also always try to decorate it to the right or something
Cause on the other side of the river there’s also gonna be a living area I guess, and then above that farthest north I wanna make a cliff with camping stuff
I guess
You can try to decorate it while you have able in your pocket to see if ut fits.
Ah no I’m just
Are you gonna spread around your villagers?
Like, right now I’m just in the stage of terraforming and planning where everything will go
my cozy cafe area so far :3
Uh, somewhat? I’m not gonna do the neighborhood thing like most people do, but they’re gonna have semi big yards fit to them specifically and then not have them in rows, but it’s still gonna be kept to one area
i love having my villagers pretty far apart.
It's kinda difficult to make semi big yard for all of them tbh and keep in one area
Yeah I tried that but it didn't go well for me. Some of them have small yard. Maybe try to put down path first for villagers and see if it's working then you can figure out the shops later
Hm
I mean it’s not gonna be like really big yards, maybe like
I dunno, 7x7 or something? Lol
That's doable I guess
Whatchu think about this little scene
Nice nice
I’m fine when it comes to terraforming landscapes but when it comes to planning where everything should go so it actually fits it’s an actual nightmare
I think that's the easiest part!
I've left my island more or less in-tact with the rivers and hills. Just kind of... buffed out some corners, if you will.
I just flattened my entire island lmao
I like it Sam. Maybe try to find something on top for a smoke pipe on the serving cart
It is
I hate it when I did that
my island isnt even recognizable anymore lmao i didnt keep my natural layout
I knew I wanted to separate my island into gameplay themes; Fishing, bugs, rocks, cooking, wood, zen, etc... so I put one villager "in charge" of each of those areas and have the whole themed area fit the villager
I only keep my original pond
so I didn't put villagers into a theme, I themed my island around the villagers.
I mean I don’t really have a specific theme, it’s more or less just gonna be a bit more natural-ish?
Huh
I mean I’m basically gonna have roughly this entire area for living area (the circle with ? Is where I might put 2 houses or so but that’s depending if I wanna go with ables there or not)
@dim dune that’s such a neat looking map so far!
Aaaa ty but you don’t have to lie to me
Me, lie? Never
any advice on where to put stuff on this layout for a cafe??? (chairs, tables, signs, etc)
pls @ me if you have ideas so i can see pls 
Can I share my map?
@void flame maybe add a couple man-hole covers, and some glow up signs/servers! Also I think adding scattered papers is a nice touch
ooh
lf christmas themed islands, specifically nook area
hello! Im currently terraforming, and im kinda stuck on what i should put here;;
im looking to see if anyone has any ideas on what could go in that spot ^^
Hello this is my island
I would like to make it better but I have no idea due to the position of the water source
(est and south) and the town
What can I do?
Showing off my favorite part of the island, Isopod School. I'd do another one for Crustacean School if I could find any dang crabs.
thats so cuteee
Could someone make a layout for me I make making a candy core fairy core island I will pay
@young anchor you’re implying that you wanna keep the current layout and you don’t want the water to go up and around the museum right? I’d suggest bridges, they do wonders. Maybe one right before the museum?
Another idea would be making waterfalls from small cliffs that then connect to the river mouths, and you also don’t have to make every river connect to the river mouth
In the case I don't want to connect the river mouth just let it like this or make a small lake around so it doesn't look ugly?
(the current layout is just a try because I don't have any idea ^^)
Ah I mean, you should probably connect something to the river mouths, but every river you make doesn’t have to
(Assuming you mean basically having a lake by a river mouth)
Is their a website where I can make a layout
It would be a nice start
(or an app)
hihi 😊 i was wondering if anyone has tips on how to make lakes look natural in shape? i want to make one in the centre where the rivers connect (those are just guide/outlines lol i’m gonna fix them up later on sometime 😅) or should i even worry about making the lake look nice from the map view? (if that makes sense?)
lf a christmas area outside of nooks
@tardy bough not sure if you should worry about a lake looking natural if the rivers don’t, it would probably look a bit odd?
oh! i’m gonna shape the rivers! lol i’m still in the terraforming process for my island, everything is a work in progress at the moment 😅 @dim dune
Well I’m not sure exactly what kind of island you’re going for, but if you’re going for something natural I wouldn’t really recommend doing outlines?
i suppose you’re right lol
Anyone have ideas for a railroad???? or like an old one ?
what did you guys do behing your Plaza !
Any cool island themes? I have no idea what i wanna do with my island yet 😥
Hhh I’m trying, okay? I’m sorta proud of this tho
@prime harbor I made a ramp to a second level & built a bookstore/cafe 😊
Any suggestions of what I can have on my right side? Its grizzly home and the beach has a fishing spot. 😊
maybe a mini pumpkin patch would work? or a small picnic area with a blanket and a few items like a picnic set and a book!
Hi!! Is anyone able to come visit my island and help me brainstorm a nice layout and help me figure out what furnitures to use/where to put houses?
I got some cute pics of me in my intrance<3

edit to clarify: your beach not just like twitter heheh
One of my beaches houses the bazaar
Here is my rock bar that only plays K.K. Rock
That’s really nice
Thanks!
Can someone come to my island and help me figure out a layout to do?
Nice Pun
I love how cozy my house area is beginning to look
This is my sushi bar wip, the space leading up to it is completely bare and I just don't know what to add? I also don't really like the pond so I'm thinking of putting something else there or at least making it smaller? Idk..
Should i fix the other side to work with the bridge? I’ve been trying to fix it but it hasn’t been working
@ashen zephyr I think you need more space on each side to build the bridge.
Ohhh okay thank you @plucky inlet
Thats neat, thanks! I didn’t know diagonals needed different numbers of squares depending on sides
Perfect firework watching spot 
I miss the fireworks now ; - ;
Yay time to redo all my paths
I want the fireworks back:(
if u wants to come to my trash island put the code 3PQCT :3
WIP of my Ables
Anyone know any good western/country furniture or items?
Looking for inspiration for an entrance to my island without waterfalls 😊
Anyone got an idea for an entrance this close to resident services?
Anyone got an idea for an entrance this close to resident services?
@tawdry spoke you could do what i did and hide resident services behind cliffs
ooh i like that thank you!!!
maybe a really nice cliff with waterfalls to hide the rs
How have you guys used nova lights or mush lamps to decorate around your island? 🙂
how do I decorate a cliff, I have water falls at my entrance and there's some grass on the cliff but ifk
your island is great Oneia don’t say that
@tardy robin this is how I have used my nova lights!
I’m thinking of flattening my island because I’m tired of the cottage core theme, but I’m not very great at terraforming and designing
any ideas on what I should do ?
My island is ugly how do i make it look better :(
@hoary terrace don’t flatten everything, just a big area at a time imo
@drowsy nymph showing pictures of your island can help ppl give u advice. nova lights are a diy recipe from Celeste
Do you have a recipe card for them?
no, you can use #diy-trade though
Ok!
I have a question. If I were to recreate this in a different theme fit to my island (More urban city), would it be overkill to replace the fountain with a robot hero? Or any suggestions on what to use there if not the fountain?
Any ideas for this little patch of area behind my restaurant/pool? I already have a garden, zen area, restaurant, pool, and library in the makings. But I can’t think of anything else.
im not sure what to put here, any ideas?
@woven drift what do you have around your island so far?
@odd wraith near that area is beaus house, the pumpkin patch, and where i am is the post office. my island is cottagecore natural themed:)
@woven drift just a few potential ideas: duck pond, forest clearing, hiking trail, lavender/honey farm, or farmers market?
@odd wraith oh thats a great idea! thank you i will definitely try that!
Hey is anyone here from the southern hemisphere I need bugs/fish I am willing to pay :)

island entrance ft. Celeste 🤗 what do u guys think?
@woven drift this would go in #acnh-media instead of #island-designs !
Ahhh my pool area so far I’m in love! What do you guys think?
Lookin' good! Are you adding more to it?
man i really don’t know what to do with my island
@woven drift yes I’m adding some more poolside chair floor lights and candles and some drinks on fireplace any other suggestions?
That was actually what I was going to say! Def some more pool chairs, I think the little fruit/spa water dispenser would be cute there too
Maybe some tables infront of the fireplace if there is the space
How do you make those glowing mushrooms?
@frozen nimbus They are a DIY
Which chair for my seafood restaurant? Left or right? Also enjoy any other suggestions:)
i personally like the right one :0
I agree
Ty !
@jolly flicker yep the right one!!
Should I add more water in random places because idk if I should use more. Also where it says sailor moon there’s a bunch of flowers and a flower breeding ground behind it.
I feel like my Campsite is taking a lot of space. Should I narrow down the first level and therefore remove the palm trees on top ?
@ionic wyvern i think your campsite looks kinda cool, just leave it as it is rn :))
@tacit gyro thank you! I'll leave it for now then :)
Nooks and Ables - layout originally from /CalypsoCourtney on Twitter
that is so beautiful
i agree!!
Any suggestions?
A path would be nice, and some benches
@woven drift I have 4 benches in the area. I probably could move them to make em more visible.
it feels kinda bland, any ideas? (ables area)
Maybe add more trees behind the fencing, and change the fencing to country fence, also could put a rock somewhere
ok i need some inspo, if anyone has something tag me
@solar panther what theme are you going for?
natural
these are so pretty, ty 
always glad to help :>
Iv been working on the entrance to my island and I like how it turned out, but I think it’s still missing something! I can’t figure out what tho, my theme is just natural
i suggest you to add a few more flowers and shrubs!! i believe a lecture hall bench or an iron garden bench would also look very good!
Yeah and mabye a big streetlantern
or maybe even a simple or brick well too ^^
@coral ravine A drinking fountain might look nice somewhere 😊
Can anyone fix my island
out of curiosity, did any of you guys utilize the trash diys? And if so, how?
The entrance to my nooks cranny looks super boring what should I add?🥲
add some flowers in a pot
@olive belfry Benches maybe?
Wanted opinions on my entry. Hard to get a good photo angle lol. Im trying to keep it simple but still feels like i could improve it. Thoughts?
Looking for : Island Map Designers (spooky forest)
will pay Bells
@woven drift your island pics are next level! Looks soooo good!
if you're reffering to the cottagecore ones i semt earlier, they're from pinterest haha
i'm not able to create such things lol
Thats such a relatable mood lolol
does anyone have farmers market inspo for a natural island?
What do people mean exactly when they say natural, do they mean non heavy city themed like no libraries and cafes with fake walls?
i believe they reffer to cottagecore islands lol
mine is city themed so i don't have many ideas
that's why i send inspo from pinterest XD
I see i see. Yeah i probably cant help much either closest i have is just a single farm and a few forests lol
What do people mean exactly when they say natural, do they mean non heavy city themed like no libraries and cafes with fake walls?
@shadow crest It usually means loads of trees, dirt paths, flowers...it just feels 'natural' basically
I would probably describe my island like that but very litteral. Only my shops area has any town vibes. No neighborhoods for me
I still cant decide if the waterfall entry is as good as im gonna get or not. Its been the same way for so long lol
Yeah, I'd say mine is pretty much the same tbh. Natural, but with town vibes
Do you keep all your villagers together or spread them out across the island
well i have an area woth only 2 houses
and i wanted to make a small neighbourhood
maybe 6 houses
@shadow crest Mine are somewhat spread out, but they're also contained within two neighbourhood areas, if that makes sense?
I gave shep like 2-3 squares of the map lolol
I have a bunch of extra space on my island, what should I do with it?
it sometimes also depends on the theme you're going with and how you terraform so
I gave shep like 2-3 squares of the map lolol
@shadow crest Poor Shep 🤣
Im currently trying to make my island less flat. Thats where the water fall entry above came from
@shadow crest You can see here a bit more what I mean but scattered, but also kind of not
I see yeah yeah
My map looks so bad because of all the custom paths and then squares of the normal path for gardens lol
i am new here
Yeah, if it wasn't for the millions of paths I have my map would look a lot more organized 😂
This is my map as of right now. Or as of late October anyway i dont think i changed much since lol
Now thats natural 
Natural vibes right there ✌️
Mine looks a lot more natural in real life than my map makes it appear lol
Oh yeah, definetly! I'm about to update my dream now, funny enough XD
I should too in a bit
I need to put the axe back in the plaza for dream visitors to go ham with lolol
I'll dm you in a bit now when I've updated, if you want?
Sure!
Lmao I love that you're letting visitors go wild with an axe
It was the best part of new leaf 😂
Does anyone have a natural clearing with their shops and stuff? I'm trying to go a village in the forest feel
@shadow crest I've messaged you 😊
@stiff thunder not sure if this is what you meant but maybe it’ll give some inspiration? (Not mine)
Okay neat. Thanks. I don't want to do cottagecore but I like the natural look so I'm trying to find a happy medium that is still playable and easy to move around in. I was thinking of a large clearing like a plaza for my shows to flank my town hall
That I could decorate the center for holidays. Thank you!
Found another one to take inspiration from maybe? (Again, not mine)
Hello everyone I’m new here 😁
@pearl finch Welcome! head over to #general or #acnh-chat⛱️ for chatting 
hey! so I just redid my campsite again and I like the layout, but I need to add more items. any ideas?
more flowers maybe? and some mush items too, a tourist telescope would fit right in, a street lamp or park clock possibly, and a phone box, stone and wood furniture and garden gnomes if you're up for it? honestly any garden/outdoorsy or camping item would work
I’m apparently blind
how
Other than the mush items I suggested a fireplace which is very visible on the second picture
dw, i'm blind too cause i didn't see it
Lmao
also, my island is in the middle of remodeling and is really flat ): can someone send me some examples of terraforming so i can get inspiration?
Here’s a couple of things I’ve done on my island @woven drift
that literally looks so nice h o w
Here’s two more
Can u guys send a picture of the map showing how much it takes up?
can someone show me their shopping district?
@woven drift it literally has no decorations or basically anything yet but here’s my entrance so far (I literally love waterfalls lmao)
i love them too, they're just a pain in my bottom to try and perfect
I’m still also in the painful journey of terraforming and planning
You too
@tired charm
look at @tall shard island i dream for this
Maple leaf season! 🍂
Which bridge should I have leading to my Ables?
i need help i want to make my island more christmas
Personally I really love the wooden zen bridges, but it also depends on what “theme“ you’re going for
Well I’m going for a kind of natural forest/mushroom type of vibe
if anybody has a shopping district or can shop me nooks cranny/ ables that would be perfect thx!
Then probably 1 or 3 imo
@torn geode personally i think stone looks more natural because it looks like rocks have falled into water to make a bridge where as wood looks manmade
Personally i (since I’m still in terraforming as well) I just plan where the bridges will go by making pathing for how wide it needs to be and such, and then you can check when terraforming/basic decorations are there what fits
The stones don’t exactly look natural though, since well, it is a stone bridge that looks man made and not like rocks have fallen into water
Aww @final spire ty :)
Damnn
@stiff thunder here's mine
Looks nice :)
thanks >3
am still working part by part
what i need is ideas of how to layout my villagers houses with yards 🗿 if anyone can help me 🐙
you gotta pretend youre that villager, and ask yourself "What kind of yard would I want? What colors are my favorite? Am I fancy? Am I rustic? Do I like bright, colorful things or modern, sleek things?" etc etc. Gotta get in the heads of your people and decorate how THEY would use/want it!
green mums are the only ones and they're really hard to breed
ok thx

@spiral dove true thanks 🗿🗿🌼🌼
this does not look right to me can yall help me choose what to put hear
i like it 🤗
@sterile crest there’s an insta page I look at that has amazing yard guides that help me out. Dm me if you want it because I don’t think I’m allowed to put it in here 🙂
I moved my ables so I decided to create a restaurant.
I also changed my trading area.
Does anyone have some sort of hot springs area on there beach with the outdoor bath or the cypress bath? For some inspiration 🙂
Blanche has a spa/bathhouse on my island...!
bottom right. Might be a little hard to see...
That looks awesome @spiral dove
Thanks! Many of those areas have been redone...
I am working on my museum area. I have an art class next to it. Any advice to improve it would be more than welcome 
I especially like that space themed path, it looks so cool:)
might be a little nitpicky but wouldn't it be weird to put things in front of a bookshelf? Wouldn't be able to check stuff out
but really it looks great.
@tropic helm I really like it! I think some paint drops on the floor would be cute if you have the pattern room
That’s true that the bookshelf is now unavailable. I just felt that I was missing something tall there but I may move one of the items in front to see what I can do with it ! Thank you for your input @spiral dove !
I wish there would be more pattern room @stiff thunder
I will see if I can make room for one more haha
If you would only use it in that one spot then I wouldn't. save your space for patterns that can be reused across the island.
@spiral dove I like the use of the simple panels
i want to do terraforming and have a lot of cliffs, waterfalls and such but my mom doesn't agree with me and she's the boss, is there something we can do as a compromise?
@woven drift Which one of you actually owns the island?
mom
Ahhhh
Maybe get the game for yourself then so that you can terraform to your hearts content
O: i totally would but that requires a lot of money ): i'll take your advice and start saving up tho
@woven drift Just take your time with that though, okay? Don't go spending all of your money because of something I said! Until then, I think the only thing you can do is let your mom do most of the island decorating, and maybe suggest compromises if you can? Like "If you don't want this, what WOULD you be okay with me doing?" and see if you can find a middle ground between you that works 🙂
ok, thank you!
Hii i have a question. I want to start over on an area of my island so i wanted to sell this whole playground with everything included. In which tab would i post it?
furniture trade
@olive trail #furniture-trade
@bleak wind yeah i tried putting it there but people have been messaging me about separate items and i thought maybe there was a tab to sell sets of furniture maybe
Sadly most people will only want one or two items 😦
@olive trail i'd be happy to take everything off your hands!
@olive trail Glad you could get it sorted 😊
@bleak wind yess! Me too! Thank you! 💕😊
@woven drift maybe she’d be willing to give you a section of the island to terraform and decorate how you like?
Cottagecore vibes in my wishing well area!
I've been in the process of completely redoing my island and I finished my entrance today!
does anyone have examples of cliffs surrounding their resident services?
Finally got around to working on the area near my entrance, suggestions appreciated:)
@noble spruce here’s mine
that looks so good! i love your flag lol
Haha thanks so much
Just some small areas of my island ✨
Really like that last pic alot
does anyone have farmers market inspo?
I feel like... I have yet to see someone make an ice rink/ frozen pond, that looks cute.
@hoary badge I totally would just dont have the creativity for that kind of stuff

I am looking for ideas for my villagers yards. If anyone as any pictures plz dm them to me
Nookie♡∂ after 855 hours
Recently restarted and finally have the layout done 💖
My land bridge looks so weird on the map might need to change that lol
Had a small space next to my campsite so I turned it into a laundry mat 🥰
The choice of fencing perfectly captures what a laundromat feels like irl 👏
my vibe spot
Hi!! Can you show your neighborhood layouts!!
I'm in need of some inspo
Tangy enjoying her day🥰
raymond’s house layout
Museum 🙂
need museum ideas ✨
cant relate with my layout since its empty lol but this channel gives me inspo!
Eh, nothing wrong with that, @dawn stream. I personally prefer less clutter compared to a lot of islands which dumps so much furniture around that a lot of it feels it serves no purpose. Or you can't move around easily without bumping into things
true
I can understand it if the area is not meant to be accessed by foot. But when it feels like the designer is a minotaur, something's up
Right now... My design is more Rustic/foresty. I am making use of cliffs to create natural paths, and to create a feel of distance. But I try to keep roads clean
And use only enough furniture. Water scapes, I use for only areas where there's no natural visual interest. Like I have an acre thats acting as a cross roads. One area directly outside is plain, and impossible to make appealing without water. So its tied into a river
Too lazy to dig out the microsd
But this is what I have so far. And is evolving piece by piece. When Im happy with the overall layout in a few quadrants I will add in plants and more furniture where needed
Started making the bottom half of my island 4 hours ago and this is what the entrance looks like! Will change some stuff but so far I love it 🥰 now I can finally sleep even tho it’s 4:56am where I live 😬🤣
Ps: I don’t know what I made but it looks cool tbh 😁
Ideas for this section? Was thinking an excavation site on the beach, museum is the plot in the photo so it’s a sectioned off area just for the museum.
Odd size section!!
Does anyone have a little cafe? Looking for inspo
@tired river I have a simple outdoor one. Not sure if you're looking for an outdoor cafe
ooo
That’s what I’m looking for! Thanks!!
too bad i dont have online membership
I haven't touched this game in a while and i would like some ideas to get me thinking
hi! i'm trying to get inspired to create a place with cottagecore aesthetich for my museum,has someone any ideas?
Depends onbhow ckose you're sticking to it. I'm technically more true cottagecore. Where most of it is spread out across an entire countryside. Overgrown. And only necessary furniture is used
Working on my entrance. Dunno what to put around the tree. Also wondering if the path is too narrow. It's only like that to be symmetrical with the other side but maybe it doesn't have to be. I dunno.
Ideas pls ty ❤️
The garden/flower cart might look nice under the tree!
ooooo das cute ye
Does anyone have any inspiration for flower colors/types that look nice together? Not necessarily in a garden layout, just scattered around an area?
just use color theory. oranges/reds/whites look good rn because autumn
tulips are slightly more beige than white tho
That’s a good idea! thanks
i need to stop crying
