island-designs

[woven drift]

Is this it? (Top right) based on sand path between the rocks.
Bottom left seem central but a little off the sand path.

[fair crater]

My new Christmas area :)

[digital jolt]

Can always check by entering the island. If you don't do the tutorial the game won't save

[vagrant patrol]

Holy frick Its hella adorable

[dark urchin]

I have this small area to fill. What should I do with it?

Below is June’s post office.

[odd grove]

Put a wiener

Thatd be funny

[lucid stratus]

make it a shrine for your fav villager

[vagrant patrol]

Maybe a spot for trucks, trucks filled with mail that is

[dark urchin]

To you and only you.

[dark urchin]

Thanks!

[dark urchin]

Thanks!

[odd grove]

Wieners are objectively funny i dont wanna hear it

[dark urchin]

Whatever.

[odd grove]

Good answer

[tulip sequoia]

Thank you!!!😊

[odd grove]

Anyone know the best way besides other players to get those castle parts

[vagrant patrol]

Yeh, its very unfunny

[vagrant patrol]

Nook Shopping (abd or app) and HHP, as far as I know

[royal spindle]

Alice in Wonderland inspired

[royal spindle]

Leveled cliffs with public benches to look like bleachers? So it looks like they’re watching the soccer game lol

[stoic iris]

Anyone have a Christmas market place on their island? I need some inspiration

[frigid gate]

For you citycore or anyone, what's your process for putting together your island? My Residents Services is pretty close to my airport and off to the right a bit so I'm building around that area first.

How do you guys decide what to do next? Lay roads then houses later? Or do you have a rough idea of where buildings go.

Do you guys build your paths for the buildings? Or do your fit the buildings for the paths? (If that makes sense)

It's my first time designing my island and citycore is what I'm drawn to. Thinking of modern city designs akin to Tokyo. I'm stuck on where to start.

[royal spindle]

Roads first, especially since RS is so close. Leave gaps for where you want mini builds

[vagrant patrol]

I love it~

[lucid stratus]

I feel like its weirdcore...

[dark urchin]

While I liked most of the suggestions I got, I decided to just make a gas station since I had just about all the items already.

[bitter socket]

Hey, does anyone have any suggestions on how i should make a pond? I have kind of a big space empty next to my house, but idk how to do it

[acoustic geyser]

I'm making a little market, and there's still an empty spot for a stand left that I don't know what to sell in, I'm already selling honey, veggies and fruit and plants and flowers, what would you guys sell in the 4th stand?

[white timber]

Could put a brick oven and sell bread/baked goods!

[acoustic geyser]

That's an amazing idea, ty!

[vocal garnet]

trying to get into animal crossing again i took this before i took a break aha, audies house!

[tired zephyr]

new entrance 🙂

netflix and chill on the dumpster couch anyone? 😘

rabbits and the moon

mummering at my pub!

inside the pub

[dark urchin]

You could make a crescent moon pond or even a frog one. Those take up a good amount of space. There’s a couple other ones you could make. There’s tutorials online.

[bitter socket]

Ohh thank uu

[runic herald]

entrance of my blue citycore island ❄️

[vivid rivet]

so pretty

[hybrid forge]

Do the roads go anywhere?

[vivid rivet]

looking for ideas of what to put around my museum

[alpine elk]

Can anyone play with me? Or kinda teach me

[raven pine]

Do you ever just.. admire the view?
Added a reading nook looking out over the lighthouse lake today ❄️📚

[velvet cove]

#690093605821480980 if you want to play with others, this channel is for island layouts and designs only

[alpine elk]

Oooo ok

Thank u

[hearty flame]

my entrance without snow! thanks to the person who suggested adding more flowers! 🙂

[odd grove]

How do u get that angle

[runic herald]

open the camera, move the joy-con down and then left or right

[errant sigil]

Worked on this today. No real plan just kind of going with the flow with terraforming

It's not finished, I'll probably put a swinging bench where I'm standing

[lucid bane]

thoughts so far? i’m gonna add more trees later

[lucid stratus]

Idk what to do w my froggy chair

[vivid rivet]

ive seen this exact one on pinterest

it looks so good

more flowers or bushes with flowers

[odd grove]

I do not understand the craze whatsoever about the frog chair

You should sell it

[jaunty lotus]

this is amazing !!

[keen dock]

Normally what I follow tbh, see a lot of nice designs on there and I'm not a creative person myself

[vivid rivet]

i am creative i just need guidance

or else i will second guess everything

[zenith folio]

I may use one in the orange/black coloring option as just a casual sitting spot

Not really a fan of froggy chairs but that one reminds me of poison dart frogs and it’d be fun to have one tucked out of the way

Would also be nice for a children’s area/playground or as a product for sale if you build a market

[dry thicket]

This is just a draft but I started terraforming my island to look like the world map. Will make it look better in the real thing and not make the arctic just water obviously but wanted to ask if anyone has tried this or has any thoughts. What do you think? Yay super cool try it or What the hell are you thinking

I have 2 main issues: to move between the continents I’ll either make little islands to hop around or use the mario pipes. Does more than two work on the island?

Also not sure what to to with the beach

[dark urchin]

I’m sure more than 2 works. It’ll just be harder to go to a specific area with them.

[candid wyvern]

More than 2 will work, however, it chooses randomly which you come out of

[dry thicket]

Oh interesting ok thanks!

[odd grove]

Well it seems like youll only need 2 pipes, also you should put some higher elevation n in other places, like the rockies

[dry thicket]

Yeah I definitely want the landscape and style to be based on each region

[odd grove]

From what i can tell you can travel around the beach to most land masses

Maybe a hopping area from newfoundland to iceland and then to europe

And maybe make a bridge where the panama canal is

[zenith folio]

People do such interesting stuff with terraforming in this game

Only issue I can think of is that you can’t do some of the extra small bits the way they are in that planner because the game won’t let you do two half-blocks in a row

Would lose a bit of detail in translation

[dry thicket]

Oh yeah that’s totally a draft, turned out really good tbh so hopefully i can get to something virtually close to it. Right now i am just doing the blocks to outline then will start to adjust the edges

[errant sigil]

Added a little more

River mouth

Better photo

[granite urchin]

Hey, I saw a cool farm layout here awhile ago. But unfortunately, I forgor to save it. It is probably too late, but does anybody still have it?

[real gust]

I'm making a medieval/fantasy island, and I'm looking to make a tavern on my island.
Help needed: What would you do to make this tavern better? (It's not in its permanent location) I want to make it wider so I can have more tables, but I'm not sure how to do it. I feel it would look bad if I just had two storefronts side-by-side on either end of the torii.
(Also, it will have a wood floor pattern for the flooring. Just haven't looked for one yet)

Please ping me in any responses, as Im going to bed soon, but I really wanna see any responses I get ! ❤️
(ill repost in the morning if I dont get any/much help)

[oblique galleon]

i need some inspiration for a flower field/garden design ): halp

[zealous needle]

I’m really loving the colors of the skies on my island today and I want to share it with you:) I had a really great time so I wish everyone would too!

[frigid peak]

im trying to make a digsite style area on my island but i can't find a good fencing

any ideas?

[merry geode]

digsite?

you mean a fossil one??

[pale cobalt]

Rope fence

[merry geode]

straw and barbed wire fence works too

[limber shadow]

i used rope

[spark parcel]

Just finished my magical castle!

[frigid peak]

cool

[lucid stratus]

uhmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[sudden knot]

[lucid stratus]

the froggy chair is cute : 3

[jaunty lotus]

gorgeous !!

[vagrant patrol]

I love it, but uh, how do you get in? Pipe?

[lucid stratus]

Lol Pipe Transportation xD

[lucid stratus]

cute

[remote patrol]

Just finished this small sitting area kinda park, lemme know what u think :))

[lucid stratus]

SO cute! Good job! ❤️

[grim parcel]

WOW omg have you gotten the giant plant yet it might fit perfectly

[royal spindle]

i did! i downloaded some oversized flower qrs and im gonna make a giant jungle build hehe

[grim parcel]

Its not as photogenic in wintertime but this is my attempt at a fairy forest

[royal spindle]

gorgeous! have you seen the alice blue road path? would work perfectly on that island:

[grim parcel]

thank you haha I didnt think it was possible but I filled up all my design slots but I have so many that I just flat out dont need anymore so this is still very handy

that plus the glowing moss, which I didnt realize changes colors for the seasons (but of course it would lol)

[vocal garnet]

does anyone know how to decorate an orchard with cliffs and a river surrounding it? trying to go for a fairycore look if that helps

[edgy holly]

Finally completed my rock garden

[lucid stratus]

Cute!

[latent wagon]

beautiful! i've always wanted a rock area in my island like this! very nice!

[latent wagon]

awww! cuteee

[spark parcel]

There are an incline on the side but you can’t see it in the picture

[hollow mason]

My cafe, somehow I think it looks better when it's cloudy~

[wispy jay]

This is my entrance rn

[vivid rivet]

so pretty

[real gust]

I'm making a medieval/fantasy island, and I'm looking to make a tavern on my island.

(Also, it will have a wood floor pattern for the flooring. Just haven't looked for one yet)

[vivid rivet]

flooring:custom designs

instead of fences i would use either simple panels with a design or some type of rock fence

to give it more of the medieval tavern feel

[real gust]

I choose the one I did because the color of the wood matched best, and it does look like it could be a wall to me.
I didn't think of simple panels with a design or rock fence though. I'll look into that! Thanks! ^-^

[vivid rivet]

maybe a fireplace on the wall with the tables

[vivid rivet]

np these are just things ive seen / first thing that came to mind

[real gust]

Ty never the less! ❤️

Maybe I could use simple panels with a wood wall design to make the tavern wider too. 🤔

Maybe it wouldn't work out, but its worth a look lol!

[tired zephyr]

use medieval wall! i can help u catalogue if u need

[tired zephyr]

my “tavern”/pub 🙂

[vivid rivet]

nice

the fact you can afford more than one pergola is amazing to me 😭 bought one and im miles broke

[real gust]

Huh?

[tired zephyr]

https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Item:Medieval_Building_Side_(New_Horizons)

[real gust]

Ahh, oh yeah. XD
I would use that, but I am going for more of a wood look

[tired zephyr]

ah i see! i’ll keep brainstorming

[tired zephyr]

i have 2 extra if u want

[tired zephyr]

maybe you could use log stakes and cedar trees as well

[tired zephyr]

another suggestion might be to make an extra character, upgrade his or her home and have it indoors where you can use log wallpapers etc. if you wanted to do it that way i could donate! it looks lovely anyway 💕 cacti would be cool too!

[past sedge]

do y’all think forest core would look good all year round or just in the spring and summer?

[vivid rivet]

👀 for

[supple egret]

forest core looks good in winter imo

[real gust]

Thats a cool idea.
Though im using my characters houses for the inside of my castle ha ha ha XD
I like the cacti idea though. That could look good! ^-^

But now im just imaging a tarvern owner breaking up a drunk fight with a cacti, LOL!
Brain, what the heck?? X'D

[tired zephyr]

nothing! they’re extra

[tired zephyr]

i’m the drunk

[vivid rivet]

yes

[real gust]

BUA HA HA HA X'D

[tired zephyr]

if ur online i can open my gate for u 🙂

[vivid rivet]

ok let me just finish something 10 minutes

[tired zephyr]

absolutely no rush my ducky! lmk if you need anything else

[vivid rivet]

ok i can try now although it may not work ive been having a few connection issues

[tired zephyr]

it’s ok i get it i live on a farm! pop in my dms i’m getting a bit confused cuz i have a few ppl. pergolas right??

[errant sigil]

Thank you :)

[errant sigil]

I love your deck!

[languid lake]

Hi all! Sharing my island for the first time on here, are any of you on Instagram? Would love to connect with others who post their islands on there! 💖

[granite comet]

new area !

[olive oar]

My inns indoors but maybe itll give some inspo for items to add! I think if u nestled urs between some cliffs and put up custom panels (rather than the fencing), itd add to the vibe. Also👀 a cool idea could be adding an incline and second level for some inn rooms or more tables

[echo pebble]

Is there someone who can help me with a bridge? I’m trying to build one and it keeps saying there’s no river nearby when I just built one? Please dm me so I can send pictures

[floral locust]

.t bridges

[ruby smelt]

[floral locust]

have you seen the guide as seen above? 😮

[sly hull]

Anyone have any ideas of what I can put behind the fountains to seal them off?

[timber axle]

For some reason I feel like you should put those new barista tables

[floral locust]

having a bridge across the river example and when your townhall/airport is super close

[hearty flame]

the area leading up to my Able Sisters

[severe kernel]

[vagrant patrol]

Nice Tree

[wide galleon]

Does anyone know of any good items to use (not diys) for like a foresty fantasy fairytale island?

[vale berry]

So, Im making a bridge by my museum and zen garden/meditation area. Should I do a stone or zen bridge?

[stable marten]

Stone

Hey do any of you have any Recs on a simple island design for those of us that lack the patience/drive/what have you to make everything tile by tile? I really want to get my island rating up but with my adhd and autism combined it’s. Not easy

[warm carbon]

Can anyone rate my island? I can give a lil tour

[neon oak]

does anyone know what bridge would go best with the white plank incline?

[cyan cobalt]

so beautiful! i think more vines could help it look more lush

[fierce gazelle]

Either the brick or stone bridge I’d think

[neon oak]

i wish there was a matching one BUT i went with the stone for a more natural look thank you!!

[grand smelt]

My small crop farm and painting spot just by the sea! What do ya'll think?

[lucid bane]

good thing i have over 60 vines

[woven drift]

Unfinished western island

[forest meadow]

Help me . What name of this counter.

[novel spruce]

It is the back side of den desks i believe :)

[woven drift]

The back side of notary desk🤗

[robust ferry]

Can I have some help with my island because I never thought about layout at the start of the game now I dislike my island

[left ermine]

My first attempt at outdoor landscaping with the glow moss and mush items. Would appreciate feedback or you can fly over and tour it for yourself. Dm me for code

[wraith quail]

I have figured out what I want to theme my island around.
I want to make it look similar to Duskwood from World of Warcraft, though a little lees spooky, with more Druid/Night Elf touches and very natury.
The center will have a grove, and is the part I think I will struggle with the most. What should or could I use to represent a giant tree? Should I just make a 3x3 cliff and place a tree on the center?

[lucid stratus]

WOW SO CUTEEEE

[polar haven]

What are the pillars and arches called?

[left ermine]

Ruined arch, ruined decorated pillar, ruined broken pillar.

[onyx scarab]

Rate my christmas photography set

[copper wind]

Same problem here

[vivid rivet]

someone actually used my beach setup idk why but it made me so happy lmao

[dark urchin]

Log decorative shelves

[woven drift]

Not much...but I think it looks pretty good. I'm not so creative like others are..

[vivid rivet]

i like

[novel terrace]

So I've made this but It feels bit empty on the right side and I don't really know what to put here

Here's what it more on the right

[real gust]

Some bamboo maybe?

[novel terrace]

More bamboo ? Like a middle line of bamboo ?

[wheat trellis]

put some bushes maybe!

[novel terrace]

Any bushes in mind ?

[wheat trellis]

hmmm hold on ill try find a picture.

[novel terrace]

Bamboo could work too but since I already have some all around this area I'm afraid it would look like to much bamboo

[wheat trellis]

oh yeah like those little bamboo stopper things!

[novel terrace]

If that make sense

[novel terrace]

I hate those

[novel terrace]

Something like that ?

[real gust]

I was thinking just kinda scattered around the area, but I think that works too! ^-^

You could also maybe put some flowers around :3

[novel terrace]

I'm not really a fan of flower

Even tho I have like a fields of roses

I don't want any other flower than red roses and i dont' think having roses here will make sense

[real gust]

Maybe some pottery?

A katana could look nice somewhere too

close to the samurai maybe?

[novel terrace]

That could work I'll try that

[real gust]

Good luck! ^-^

[novel terrace]

Something like that ?

[real gust]

I was thinking more like vases. I feel like that fits in an eastern setting. ^-^
https://villagerdb.com/search?game=nh&q=vase

[novel terrace]

Ho yeah that's a great idea didn't know vase existed

[spark parcel]

You could also put drinks and food to the side of the chairs and maybe put a path underneath or a custom design!

[novel terrace]

Sounds like good ideas

[novel terrace]

Like of those pic ?

[spark parcel]

Yes so much better! Do you have some flower or grass custom designs? If yes put those on top of the dirt path

[novel terrace]

I don't have any grass custom design sadly, and I don't have any free space for it

[spark parcel]

Also maybe add some lanterns between the bamboo on the right side to make it more simetrical

[novel terrace]

Yeah the Lantern are coming tomorrow

[spark parcel]

That’s a bummer. You could just add some more greenleafpiles

[spark parcel]

Amasing

[novel terrace]

Like one on each corner ?

[spark parcel]

That would look cool

[novel terrace]

What do you think ?

[spark parcel]

I like it more now!

[novel terrace]

I feel like something could be added between the torii and the lantern

Like 2 more lantern on a ironwood stool

Or plants

[spark parcel]

I depends on what aesthetic you are going for. I always like more plant lmao

[novel terrace]

I can't put a lantern on a stool so I'll try with plants

[novel terrace]

What do you think ?

I think the vase @real gust was talking about earlier will fit better than a plant

[spark parcel]

Agreed

[novel terrace]

What about the warriors statue

[spark parcel]

Thats nice but i think the vase will look better.

[novel terrace]

Gotcha

I'll try to find some thx for the help !

[spark parcel]

Np hahah! send me a dm when its finished

[novel terrace]

Will do if I ever find any vases !

[junior cipher]

How’s this for a change?

Not good?

Okay :(

[strong cairn]

Yea no

[vivid rivet]

oop

[real vessel]

I need some sort of low, one tile seat or table that I can put Rover's briefcase on.
Preferably something that'll fit. Like I don't want to use a log stool or whatever bc it'll hang off the sides. Pls and thank you.

[robust ferry]

Old campsite

New campsite

[frail ore]

I have a space similar to this one on the right, was wondering what furniture can I use for decoration there

[sharp haven]

Any ideas for my entrance ? I started this cute little path and now I don’t know what to do HAHAHA

[dark urchin]

That looks good. I’ve seen some people that had done that kind of pathing, and it’ll look even nicer once you decorate around it.

[random fern]

my map of my island thats about 90% complete!! im so happy with it

[floral locust]

I love it, looks so natural with your rivers/lakes

[woven drift]

I saw some videos of an abandoned town and I really loved it, so I made this test area, thoughts?

I want to have a similar vibe like this all over my island, but idk if I should put weeds or specific flowers so

[stiff thunder]

Ooo that will look so cool. Weeds, mum (green, white, and yellow) and cosmos (white) will give a nice weed look but still let you use flowers

Then you can always have more flowered sections as you see fit if you want to like an overgrown garden vibe

[woven drift]

Yea I might try to add some mums and weeds, thank you!

[trail lake]

definitely need an island tour

[random fern]

it’s not decorated yet and still quite messy but I can update my dream address if u wanna see!

[trail lake]

Yes please 🥺

[neon oak]

so yesterday i flattened my island and worked all day and today i realized i hate it so i’m wondering if anyone would like to come visit and maybe give me some tips? it’s not completely finished bc i didn’t want to finish it and still hate it someone please help me 😭

[potent aurora]

Hope I'm in the right place but what's a good silver colored outdoor table and chair suggestion?

[strong locust]

looks like minecraft soul sand kinda /pos

[odd grove]

Idk what pos means but i do see the faces and i agree

[woven drift]

someone tell me what i can do to make this look better plssssss

[junior ore]

All set for the holidays

[junior ore]

what kinda thing are you going for?

[woven drift]

it’s the outside of clays house, i just wanted a woodsy little mushroom farm

[junior ore]

maybe keep the dirt all the same type, and maybe try a cedar tree or a stump instead of the stone

theres also a mush log item which would go well

[woven drift]

that’s what i was thinking! thank you

luvvv this

[coral vapor]

Looking for ideas for small space here beside the beach

[warm carbon]

Can anyone come judge my island? I need advice on how to make it better

[nova raptor]

maybe a cute little concession stand? selling lemonade or anything that fits your theme. if that fails, a bench or bus stop or something wouldnt. a park clock with bushes and natural items like bushes surrounding

[errant sigil]

I like the deck!

[errant sigil]

Hmmm maybe add some fencing and maybe a rattan chair and a stack of books so there's like a small outdoor reading corner for them

Could probably do country fencing

Maybe a grill as well

[sharp haven]

What could I put in the empty space I’m in between? It’s between my stores and my entrance ): I just don’t know how to fill the space out

[dim pilot]

you could just add little areas like a park or a little picnic zone? like how i made the space surrounding my nooks in a farm ^^

[sharp haven]

Ooo yes !!! Thank u for the idea !!! That’s so cute omg

[surreal terrace]

you should just get rid of one of the stones and have it like a zigzag thing yk?

🟦
🟦
like this

[peak warren]

Found this white tile + coconut trees on kappn island, how to make this?

Its just regular sand tile?

[vivid rivet]

bushes decor seating

[woven drift]

abc to be added into a server

With me

[north urchin]

Omg what is the code for the road it’s so cute

[coral vapor]

i just put road and sidewalk into the design portal 🙂

[junior cipher]

the arched stones or stone?

[dense lintel]

My present balloons dropped a perfect item for my toy day decorations! The item ‘office materials’ looks just like a box of wrapping paper and tape!

[edgy prairie]

Please let me know what you think about my 5 Star Island! I still have some work to do 😄

https://youtu.be/qt36Wv5D3U8

[granite comet]

so much lag but oh so worth it

[real vessel]

Finally made an entrance I'm happy with. Now to do the other 90% of my island lmao.

[burnt minnow]

Christmas tree farms were the popular thing to build last year but I never got around to it because of AC burnout. So I made a little one this year 🎄

[jolly monolith]

Anyone have the code for this path?? I can’t find it anywhere

[woven drift]

Hi loves! Does anyone perhaps would like to help me with an island design/layout? I started out a few days ago and having to make decisions where certain things go is stressing me out quite a bit. Any help or advice or tips are appreciated! Would like to go for a woodsy-cottagecore-y (as a lot of other people do) vibe. ❤️ (I cant find the player-services place, im sorry)

[latent wagon]

anybody got any cute areas of their cottagecore/natural island themed residential areas? my residential area is my completely empty/bare and i've got no idea what to do with it... i wanted to incorporate country fences, white/pink flowers and normal cottagecore ideas into it. maybe a waterfall? not sure. id love to see some islands please! :3

im a bit late, but deffo bridge 2. its the bridge im using for my cottagecore island too. 2 or 5, but i prefer 2's aesthetic

[mighty sleet]

I put all my villager houses like that, and I like it. I just think I need to make it “take up more space” idk if I should keep them there or not 🧍

Any ideas? If I should keep it or change it up so they all have a slot to themselves?

[ancient violet]

I've reset my island so resident services lines up with airport but couldn't decide on a theme between zen/Asian or castle/elegant

[slow mason]

Asian core maybe

[ancient violet]

I wanted to do elegant because of castle stuff in 2.0 but Asian is naturalistic and peaceful

[hybrid forge]

Do wild west style

[ancient violet]

I'll consider it

[woven drift]

I think #custom-design-help🎨 can help you more!

[zenith folio]

Still trying to decide whether to arrange these in rainbow form or random colorful hodge-podge. Every type/color flower in the game is finally going into one area for display

[gilded turret]

<@&494448231036747777>

[hearty flame]

my little lake bridge overlooking an unseasonable picnic lol

[weary cave]

oooo what is your theme??

hm lookz nice though

[woven drift]

terraforming burn out is real

[inner rose]

This! I agree lol

[woven drift]

you can finally start playing the game

[fringe moat]

i need help lol

[dapper bough]

With what?

[fringe moat]

im terraforming and idk what i should do with my flat island my mind has went blank i want i nicely decorated magical island but im not too smart lol

[cedar heart]

Kinda random, but does anyone have any ideas/[pictures saved of ideas for how I could decorate my island's shops (nooks and ables)? It's a cottagecore-town-ish island :0

[tall shadow]

Anyone have an idea about what i could put in this area? :')

[fringe moat]

a cute flower patch might work

[zenith folio]

Do you have any things you for sure want to have on your island? Areas like a rock garden or farm or big ol lake? If so, start small w those things. Then you can work outwards from there

[fringe moat]

i was thinking about a park with money trees and gold roses and a little duck pond

[zenith folio]

When I started from flat all I knew for sure was "I want my plaza surrounded by cliff and too many trees"

[fringe moat]

will you mind if i visit to get some inspartions

[zenith folio]

It's only half finished rn

[fringe moat]

oh oki

[zenith folio]

I do have pictures posted of random finished spots or almost finished ones in this channel if you really wanna see those

[fringe moat]

yeah sure itll help alot

[errant sigil]

With or without party lights? Also this is all still a WIP. Will go back and decorate more later

[fading ocean]

Hey y’all, where did you guys find inspiration for you islands? Where did you find the theme you wanted your island to be?

[errant sigil]

Google/Pinterest/YouTube. As for the theme I kind of played around a bit to see what just naturally came to me. Or when decorating HHP I found myself doing nature stuff more.

[fading ocean]

What’s HHP

[tall shadow]

definitely google and pinterest haha

[tall shadow]

happy home paradise im assuming?

[fading ocean]

Oh ok

Ty

[honest scroll]

i found my theme thanks to an irl inspiration
i absolutely love medieval cities with like different colored buildings (i live in a city almost like this) so im doing the same on my island !

[fading ocean]

Oh ok thanks

Another question: why did you guys start on your island first? (The entrance, beach, etc?)

[honest scroll]

i started on my entrance cauz thats the clearest idea i had x)

(im not gonna say that its what im doing rn ive only done that yet whoops)

looks like this btw ! (sorry for the bad photo x))

[fading ocean]

Ooo it looks pretty

[honest scroll]

thanks !
its still a wip but ill post a god photo once finished ^^

[fading ocean]

I wanna start with my entrance but I put a viallgers house kinda close to it so…

[errant sigil]

Entrance. I moved all my houses to the beach as well as all flowers. But I jump around on what I work on and take breaks when I'm stuck so I don't burn out

[fringe moat]

how to i move my plaza

[errant sigil]

This is cute!

[honest scroll]

you cant :(

youll have to do with what you have

[fringe moat]

noooooo its soo ofset and annoying

[fading ocean]

I think im gonna try that

[honest scroll]

or restart
if its just a few squares off and its bothering you you can always put something in front of the plaza and force people to come by the sides

like some terraforming

or some walls/a building...

[fringe moat]

its too close to the entrance i was so dumb

[honest scroll]

theres a few videos on how to design entrances when your plaza is very close

it can look very good

i have to go but try looking up some entrance design tips on youtube

there are a few vids specially for the close plazas

good bye !

[fringe moat]

okii

[errant sigil]

Yuh my plaza is off center as well

So I kind of just have it where it forces ppl to head a certain direction

Like that

Since my plaza is a bit to the left of the airport

I've seen ppl do one of those diagonal bridge entrances to their plaza etc

Could try that

[turbid veldt]

If any of y’all have Lilly i need inspo for her yard

[vivid rivet]

i have flattened my island for the most part(aside from my house because i cant fit anything more on the beach and the shops/museum) i want to start with the entrance and work my way in but they arent lined up so any ideas

ignore all the random stuff but this is about where they are proportionally

[livid meteor]

should i make a kid core island, cottage core or island core?

[inner rose]

Kid core

[livid meteor]

ok

[inner rose]

Which ever you choose, please upload pics. I would love to see ☺️

[inner rose]

This is actually a good idea, I’m going to try this

[livid meteor]

okay! i just restarted my island and it will probs take weeks :D

[tall shadow]

Hey all!! What do you guys think i could put on this little island?

[hearty flame]

Nooks Cranny decorated for the holidays

[astral gate]

when you guys first start to landscape your island do you get rid of all the water ?

[nova raptor]

ill fill up the water in a specific area and then lose all motivation to continue so it remains barren lol

[errant sigil]

Lmk how it turns out!

[dapper minnow]

a little cafe would be epic lol

[fleet crystal]

My lost woods fairy area. Ione gets the best view

[dim pilot]

um so i got inspired by a pic on pinterest of a train in acnh so i ended up making my own ^^ should i add stuff in the gaps of the face cut outs or no? also any ideas on what kind of items if i were to do that

[errant sigil]

This is amazing!

[errant sigil]

Love iiiit. What's that square stone path?

[odd grove]

I really dont get the big fuss about having the plaza in front of the airport

[dim pilot]

thank you aaaa ^_^ it was a tight fit but i'm starting to become rlly happy with how it's shaping up. just need to detail it a bit more

[dim pilot]

some people like symmetry so that's why haha. i myself don't care much and it shows in my 5 block entrance 😭😭

it depends on what you're going for ! if u add more terraforming it'll make the land look less empty and you'll have a starting point for further decorations

[odd grove]

Yea i get how people are wanting to have that, but i dont think its worth a reset which some people are doing

For me its so hard to progress/bulk up on resources i need and a reset would not help

[dim pilot]

tbh it can be worth a reset if like it bothers you a lot. my island before i reset it just wasn't enjoyable to me

[odd grove]

Im making an epic castle right now and right now produce is my only funding

[dim pilot]

just cliffs and ponds ! it helps to look at what others built in this channel if you need inspiration

[errant sigil]

Omg props to you. I could never lol. I don't time travel so the thought of resetting would make me cry lol

[odd grove]

If i ever have the free time to transfer my items to another island then get them back after reset i might

[dim pilot]

"it ain't much but it's honest work"

[odd grove]

My castle town area is 4 squares on the map is that big enough

Produce does make big bucks tho

[dim pilot]

ahh my friend and lots of other people were kind enough to help me get on my feet again hahah. i only time travel for like moving buildings or growing trees bc i'm more into the decorating aspect of acnh haha

[odd grove]

I time travel when i need certain items but i enjoy waiting for seasonal events

[errant sigil]

That's some good people. I don't time travel mainly because if I do.....I'll never stop playing. LOL. So this forces me to take breaks haha

[fleet crystal]

thank you! it's the ruins path code

[errant sigil]

Thank you!!!

Was playing some other game on my switch to take a break from AC but seeing everyone's islands makes me wanna play AC again

[fleet crystal]

it's hard to stop, lol

[errant sigil]

It really is

[dim pilot]

that's fair !!!

[errant sigil]

So I found this snow dirt path and decided to try it out

First time using custom pathing like this

Haven't decided how I feel about it yet lol

[dim pilot]

i like it !

[errant sigil]

It takes me awhile cuz I get confused by which one to put down LOL

[dim pilot]

originally i planned to stay away from custom pathing bc i tend to go with the textures games give you but i do use them now haha. i like using them for clutter ^^

[dim pilot]

i feel you 😭 there are people that are able to spam custom paths and get it right immediately. i still have to do it one at a time haha

[coral acorn]

I need an idea for my fair area. I have a stall and would like another fair item on it. All I got is a shaved ice maker and it works but the empty spot next to it is driving me crazy. What’s another thing I could put there

[errant sigil]

Yes exactly!

[dim pilot]

maybe the antique cash register?

[errant sigil]

At first I wanted to do something symmetrical for my island

[coral acorn]

Mmm i tried but i felt like it didn’t match the vibes 🥺

[errant sigil]

But then I ended up finding that a little restraining for terraforming purposes

So having symmetrical pathing just looked weird

[dim pilot]

hmm maybe if you have another copy of it you can place that down? or maybe a lamp or food items that somewhat match

[coral acorn]

Same I have it on my island and I hate it but it’s what I’m doing right now until I can think of something better

[coral acorn]

Oh! That reminds me I could decorate the area with the ice cream lamps!

[errant sigil]

What part are you decorating ATM?

[dim pilot]

!!! do send a pic of it when it's done

[errant sigil]

Omg how do ppl make putting down custom pathing look so EASY

Bunch of lies

Omg I did it!

I understand all the pieces now

[fleet crystal]

the killer part is when you try picking up an item on a custom path but kick it away instead

[errant sigil]

Omg yes

Done that so many times

[errant sigil]

God I only did pathing for a tiny part of my entrance and I feel like it took me 30 min

How tf do ppl spam this shit

[lavish monolith]

Story of my everyday acnh life 🤣🤣

[surreal terrace]

i think stone would be best

[tidal dagger]

Same

[coarse vessel]

My new island entrance 😄

[viscid igloo]

[coarse vessel]

Thank you!

[desert otter]

I know, so epic!

[honest scroll]

Heyyy finished entrance !

[vivid rivet]

thats cute

im still so torn about a theme

i cleared a large part of my islland for a entrance but they arent lined u idk how to go about it

[honest scroll]

what do you mean by that ? and thank you ^^

[wispy jay]

Here's my entrance

[white sequoia]

Thats cute

[uncut loom]

THAT HAPPENS SO MUCH

[woven drift]

I’m looking for someone who has pear and peach trees in their design. I can’t find the fruit anywhere

[torn veldt]

Omg! Can y'all help me with ideas around this fountain?

[jaunty lotus]

Can anyone help layout wise? I was going to put my Nook’s Cranny in the dirt area to the left but then i have no idea how to fill in the other areas. I could instead move it next to the incline but not sure. Also not sure what to do with the area in the back.

[uncut loom]

You could put stalls around it and some benchs

[torn veldt]

This is what I've done so far

[woven drift]

OoOoh its cute

[uneven thorn]

Any ideas on what to put here? It’s right by a cafe if that contributes to anything

[woven drift]

a cute dining area. It would be ADORBS . Plus outdoor seating for summer

[steep axle]

a kids play area would be awesome, an adult could send their kids down to play together!

[woven drift]

hey i need some tips to make my island better anyone can help me?

[true marlin]

I will

@woven drift

[zenith folio]

Carnival items are just too neat to resist

[uneven thorn]

I decided on a kitchen-type area! I’ll try and add some of your ideas in another area near the cafe!

[sharp dagger]

Trying a city style island for my first theme.

[static flint]

Any tips on making my island better I feel like I’m stuck

[green cedar]

hi! what should i put here in the grassy part in front of the storefronts?

[stiff thunder]

I would so some holiday decor personally like the illuminated snowflakes or like a bench

[near turret]

Anyone know how I can make this look better?

[kind grove]

i would add more items it’s very bare

[jaunty lotus]

this isnt generally my style but I would add statues, trees, benches, roses, streetlights, etc!

[near turret]

Do u think it would look better if I destroy the cliff?

[cinder oar]

@near turret I dont think so, I think is better to hide it with trees, streetlights, statues etc

[near turret]

Thank you!

[swift surge]

Yall make my brain hurt, jealous 😔

[solar trellis]

Working on my island entrance as you can see I like the color pink a lot lmao🚶🏾‍♀️

[forest totem]

THATS SO NICE

[solar trellis]

Thanks!

[odd grove]

Just something to add: piles of leaves are usually meant to be messy as they are piles, try putting them a bit off center to make it feel a bit more lively

Ooh i just notices the pearls thats cool

@solar trellis

Sorry i forgot to make it a reply

[solar trellis]

Ohh I know I just placed the piles there because I like the effect you have walking on them😅 but thanks
I don’t really feel like expanding the area tho skdhdohdkdw

[odd grove]

Effects are nice

[solemn plover]

i did the 3x3 challenge 😄

[wooden whale]

[novel pumice]

[woven drift]

[zealous yarrow]

omg thats so pretty

[novel pumice]

Thank you! See the moon is perfect there

[woven drift]

if only i had some god dang purple hyacinths I COULD MAKE THE LAMPS!!! NOBODY EVER TRADES THEM!!! smh

[zealous yarrow]

It really is

[woven drift]

did u paint the moon?

[novel pumice]

No lol it can’t be customized

[woven drift]

Oh hm it looks darker but thats prob just the angle or something

[novel pumice]

It’s the filter of the camera mode

[woven drift]

Or im remembering the color wrong 🥲

Ohhh I see

[zealous yarrow]

Such bad quality but heres the beginning of my farm multilayer! It def needs more deco and custom designs around it

[woven drift]

Cute!!

[zealous yarrow]

Thanks!

[woven drift]

are you gonna add dirt paths??

[zealous yarrow]

Yes

[novel pumice]

That’s good put more foliage

[woven drift]

also ur character is super cuteeee

[novel pumice]

To make it look natural

[zealous yarrow]

Thank you!

[zealous yarrow]

I will, i mostly just did this part to figure out where everything was going to go

[woven drift]

add a little watering can or a shovel for decor ☺️

[zealous yarrow]

oooo good idea

[stuck nexus]

okay ty

[stuck nexus]

Love the colors 💜 what is the name of those benches if you don’t mind me asking?

[copper geyser]

oh gosh i don't remember.

[fringe moat]

My new entrance

[near jacinth]

my starter entrance 😁 i don’t have terraforming yet but i think it’s a good effort

any tips???

[upper tapir]

a little more vertical height to the area will look great! trees and taller furniture ( more furniture in general really) will help make the area shine ^^

feel free to look at other people's entrance and take inspiration from the items they use at the start

[near jacinth]

aa i wanna add the terraforming things but i’m only 1 star since i recently started

but thank you i will work so i can get more stars :)

[upper tapir]

ah alrighty!

you still may be able to add furniture on the pathing for now though, will also help towards increasing your rating ofc

[zenith folio]

Waiting for the plane ride away

[woven drift]

Woahh 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 i needed some inspo on my entrance and maybe ill do something like that tysm!

[woven drift]

Hey everyone so im looking for anyone who can come to my island and give me tips and ideas on what I should do

[wet dirge]

My up inspired area

[lucid stratus]

OmG beautiful!

[woven drift]

does anyone have any designs that use lilies of the valley? they're taking over my island lmao

[lucid stratus]

i havent made one but u could do a vertical bridge that leads to no were and soround it with lotv

[short relic]

Can someone DM me to help me with stuff

[remote parrot]

This is first build, does anyone have tips on what to improve?

[pure yarrow]

2 months of progress, lots of work to do

[pure yarrow]

Very cute look, i’m a big fan of bushes so maybe you could utilize some? Thats just a personal opinion as you can see from my post below yours

[remote parrot]

Ooooh yeah i think ill do that

[spare sage]

i have an empty spot near my island with a cave and mining car nearby - what should i put there to fit in with the nearby furniture

[woven drift]

one angle, four seasons ✨

WIP

[woven drift]

thats so good

[river island]

thats so cute!

[river island]

thats cool!

[steep mirage]

Is this good or no :,)) i have no idea what to do with it (sorry for bad quality i’m in the car)

[drifting light]

i have no idea what to do with my entrance, i want to tie it to the resident services somehow :((( any tips?

[woven drift]

A fountain and/or some crossroads?

[drifting light]

not too interested in a fountain, but what do you mean by crossroads?

[woven drift]

Something like this where the path splits to different parts of the island

[drifting light]

ohhhhhh hmm yea maybe !!

[weary cave]

maybe add some flowerz around the empty areas??

[reef solar]

Anyone have any ideas on what else to put in this little area? It seems empty on the front side.

Nvm. I put fences and it doesn't seem empty now

[solid pagoda]

this is the only place i can have my vegetable garden and it's in front of my nook's cranny, by my resident services and airport. i love the barbed wire fence but worry it's an eyesore when first going to my island. is there any other fences that would work good for it? maybe a taller fence?

[earnest tinsel]

That looks really good!

[chilly creek]

Does anyone have suggestions for planning out town layouts on a phone? The Happy Island Designer GitHub doesn’t work very well on a touch screen.

[lucid bane]

thoughts? i’m gonna have the museum a bit after the path

i’m going for an overgrown/slightly magical vibe

[fervent lance]

i love this so far!! totally gives me magic vibes!

[reef solar]

Anybody have ideas on filling large spaces?😭😭My island is elegant core

[keen dock]

Anyone got some cool moon theme islands to show? I've got my hands on 1 moon and a few star fragments with some moon crescent seats!

[heavy idol]

What about a ballroom or a fancy library?

[reef solar]

Omg. Why did I not think of library🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️thanks!!!

[heavy idol]

No problem!! Here’s mine if you need any inspiration, but it’s very small:

[flint cloak]

wow cool house

[heavy idol]

Thank ya 🤩

[flint cloak]

i like this but i dont khow how to down this game

[zealous coral]

is anyone good at designing islands? because i really wanna make a dreamcore island but i suck at designing and i would really love the help

[kind grove]

officially 3/4 of the way done with my island! now to figure out the back part….

[primal jacinth]

can someone come to my island and help me with ideas😭😭 pls

[woven drift]

can somebody help with my island? im willing to pay 1M-6M

[sly lintel]

I made this for the entrance to my isle

Fear my terrifyingly straight river

[lucid bane]

which one looks the best? my theme is overgrown/slightly magical

i like the blue one bc it matches the roof but idk

i might not even use the castle walls tho

[olive oar]

I like the blue too uwu maybe u can add some pergolas/maypoles/giant vines/bushes etc in front for more of the overgrown effect after

[lucid bane]

ooh smart!!

[tall fog]

anyone know any creative gyroid displays ?? idk how i want to display them on my island 😩😩

[zenith folio]

Progress so far on butterfly bog

Ran out of shrubs and haven't placed the items because of it I'm a good planner

[zealous coral]

hi can someone please help me design an island?

[left ermine]

Please show me your beach designs! I have no idea what to do with mine

[fleet crystal]

Shit just got dark on my island

[steep mirage]

loving this too much LOL

[fleet crystal]

Lmao. They shouldn't have us the mannequin

[steep mirage]

i was gonna buy one from my cranny and had no idea how to incorporate it but this was just brilliant 😂

[vital lantern]

pls do be wary of gore, even in-game like that - I'd generally advise to stay away from posting it in the future

but your area is super cute

[fleet crystal]

ah okay, np

[solar trellis]

I finished my Princess themed entrance I just need judy to be on my island now😔

[kind grove]

my new museum set up! what do we think? too many floor lights?

better quality pics, dk why those are so bad

[lost ember]

I love it!

[sharp jackal]

Experimenting w different styles of path placement for the area in front of my museum…which looks better? Left is just the custom pattern, right is the custom pattern on top of a regular path (so I can curve it)

[fleet path]

left. looks fuller

Specil Tour of wildwood’s residential area
does anyone have any ideas of what i can put in that little spot below the boardwalk 😕?

[sharp jackal]

I’m conflicted bc it looks better just the custom pattern by the flowers, but it looks better on a path at the edges :/ (longer path is just custom, shorter is custom and path)

[sharp jackal]

You could make a little transit stop area with benches and a park clock?

[fleet path]

well the space between the dirt and the ground pattern is smaller when theres no path beneath the pattern so whatever feels better at a glance

dont think about it too hard, just think of it in terms of a brief glance

because thats what youre gonna be doing most of the time is briefly glancing at it

[left ermine]

Would love to visit and see this

[left ermine]

Wait, you can curve custom designs if they are on a path?

[sharp jackal]

Only certain custom designs will work, but yes. I’m pretty sure they have to have a transparent edge on one side of the pattern to be able to curve? (I could be wrong)

[sharp jackal]

Ok trying some other stuff out, what looks best? (First picture is how everything was originally laid out)

[vagrant patrol]

I think the 1st and 3rd image look better, they dont hide the flowers as much

[sharp jackal]

Good point! Ty!

[untold arch]

My house during 5 AM

[midnight idol]

Aaaah i didn’t realize how much nicer this part of my island looks like at night 🥲I’ve just been time skipping next day mornings to work on it

[thick bridge]

hi! is there anyone who can help me w/ a half sanrio/pink/cutesy and half dark/gothic/graveyard island. dm if interested, i am so bad at layouts

[last basin]

Anyone know any genius ways to hide my museum with a jungle/rainforest theme?

[fierce gazelle]

Ruined items or vines would look very cool, like a broken building

[feral kayak]

what should I put In this area, for help it’s near nook and cranny, campsite and able sisters

[deft sparrow]

hey !! does anyone have a vintage/cottage looking fair ground

i really wanna make one with the merry go round but i’m stumped for ideas

[deft sparrow]

little market place with stalls would be so cute

[feral kayak]

Ooo thank you I’m gonna do that

[fallow coyote]

Help, I can’t decide what’s good for this area

[frail ore]

Any ideas for decorating the beach? I just have a bunch of stuff around

[static flint]

farm design?

[stiff thunder]

Hey all, would love some help coming up with some clever/punny store names to make buildings for on my island. I want to have a music store, bookstore, restaurant/bar/food establishment, and then a random store (pharmacy, gym, repair store, something like that). I can't decide on goofy names like Top Shelf (bookstore/bar) or more acnh themed stores like Resetti Repairs. I like Tropikitch's designs of KK Records and Blathers Books but I wanted to be unique and not copy them. Feel free to DM with any shop names you can think of. 🙂

[jaunty lotus]

this is so lovely!

[lament whale]

My entrance but I'm not sure

[deep mural]

Not sure if I’m taking plant breeding a little to seriously 😅

[hybrid forge]

If you knowingly breed plants at all, you take it a bit too seriously

[untold arch]

Ty!

[wet dirge]

Fairy core cliff side

[wet dirge]

Garden shop

[woven drift]

started yet another theme 😅

[fervent lion]

How'd you get stuff in the water?

[terse jungle]

Yeah how did you get the stuff in the water?

[woven drift]

modded switch

[fervent lion]

Fair enough, Thank you :)

[keen dock]

how do you get rocks to form like that or is it just pure luck?

[kind grove]

it’s a super tedious process. you basically break all of your rocks and then cover all the area besides where you want the rocks to spawn. there’s plenty of good tutorials on youtube!

[keen dock]

oh wow that's amazing to go through that effort. it took me 2 days alone to flatten my island. Your museum looks beautiful!

[kind grove]

my island is pretty developed so it didn’t take longer then about an hour and a half! thank you 🙂

[errant sigil]

Worked on my river opening/valley some more @timber hornet

Had to move around the wind turbines and add more trees. Was a pain tbh lol

Also adjusted the waterfall

[timber hornet]

nice!!

you are girlbossin' that acnh island

[feral kayak]

Can anyone read what the creator code says

[solid drift]

creator code or custom design?

[feral kayak]

the creator code

[solid drift]

hmm

are there any other patterns by this person you can find?

[keen dock]

MA- 8517-5328-9144

This is it right?

[feral kayak]

omg tysm

[solid drift]

😭

[feral kayak]

pahaha I was look everywhere

[echo anchor]

Thoughts? Anything I can work on? I plan on doing music core

[weary depot]

Does anyone have their shops right next to Resident Services? I'd like to see pics for inspo.

[echo anchor]

I might(?) plan on doing it! I’ll post a pic once I’m done 🙂

[errant sigil]

Ehehehe thanks :3 omg your name changed so much lol

[errant sigil]

Not done. And nook will be there to the left tomorrow

[errant sigil]

Maybe break up the pathing a bit

[errant sigil]

Like that

Vs one continuous one

Putting stuff under the lights also leaves it less blank as well. So maybe you can make or find something music like for that

So where you have your purple flowers I think it's a good area to end it. Then go a little further and start a new one

You can also put glowing moss in between your path sections so it forces ppl to run/walk over them. It's really pretty because of how the sparkly dust just floats up lol

[floral locust]

oh damn you moved your stores from the last time I've been there 😮

[alpine wave]

Looking for some ideas to fill this small space behind my bike (:

[lean flower]

hi! maybe you could use a garden bench and streetlamp? or a retro gas pump? probably black or brown to match

[echo anchor]

Oooh! That’s a good idea

[echo anchor]

What music thing would you recommend?

[half rain]

Hi i need friends who need friends

[bleak wind]

You should go to #494386287953051658 or #690093605821480980 for that 👍

[mighty sleet]

Hi! I’m trying to find a good spot to put a tree farm, does anyone have an idea where to put it?

[velvet cove]

I think it would look cute near your neighborhood, maybe closer towards the butterfly pond, but ultimately the decision is yours! I also love the little butterfly pond, it’s very cute! I’ve never seen that before!

[mighty sleet]

Ok! I see it, thank you so much! And thanks haha I thought it was a nice touch

[woven drift]

Hello, does anyone have any ideas what I can place in this empty space? (No fountains cause I have a fountain park to the right) South is my airport

[jolly scarab]

I would say some trees

[mint tide]

Restaurant/cafe

[open quail]

So jealous of all these beautiful islands lol, I have no motivation to fix mine . It’s a mess

[heavy arrow]

@woven drift nice

[ashen parcel]

[pearl tulip]

Just finished this little restaurant area 💕

[hearty flame]

wait you can do this??

[left ermine]

It's a hack I think

Going for a 1950's vibe for merengue's diner/bakery. I use a simple panel with villager art for each house but I don't have any other place to add a jukebox.

With jukebox

[errant sigil]

Super cute!

[spark shell]

adorable!!!

[ivory nova]

WHA!? IMPOSSIBLE! (in vanilla gameplay)

[glad peak]

Why’d they delete their awesome cliff build?

[last basin]

im guessing its because it was an image from a hacked switch

[solar trellis]

I finished the inside of my castle!

[errant rapids]

A camp fire place, or a picnic?

[woven drift]

I have a question on how to get a the new Fence furniture/item?

[woven drift]

Try putting a Villagers house there and put fishing signs and more vegitation/trees and bushes

[woven drift]

Put mountain/cliffs and trees

I recommend adding nature to empty island plots to make your island look crowded/natural

[tidal herald]

This path is beautiful 🥰 I need it

[solid drift]

I NEED THE CLOTHING CODES RN RN

[solar trellis]

I’LL DM THEM TO YOU! IF ITS OK WITH YOU!

[solid drift]

YES OFC

[abstract quarry]

anyone know what i could put on this that's darkish green? im putting it in the entrance

[empty lotus]

I think this biotope planter looks quite good on the turkey day stand

[solid drift]

./j

[valid shadow]

same

[left ermine]

I agree.

[dusky fable]

Welcome to my African-inspired island

[honest scroll]

small rooftop reading area

[toxic locust]

now jump off it

[honest scroll]

nooooooo

[toxic locust]

lol

[honest scroll]

[toxic locust]

that is pretty creative though

[honest scroll]

thank you

[unreal breach]

is there anything else i can do here?

[dark urchin]

It looks nice. On the left cliff, I would add another flower and some weeds if possible.

[unreal breach]

thanks :)

[strange bridge]

Does anyone have rock garden ideas that are both functional and cute? I’ve seen lots that look pretty but I can’t tell if they also allow you to still hit rocks and get the max amount of drops from them!

[hollow bane]

following this one ^

[oak wigeon]

This is my rock garden! Finished it a few days ago

lines are to prevent weeds and fossils

[fallow lintel]

to the far right!

[strange bridge]

That's so pretty! ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾ thank you so much for sharing!!!

[oak wigeon]

No problem! I wish you luck on yours, I've re-made mine twice now so I know how annoying it can get

[lucid stratus]

Just YES

[woeful sail]

Hello! I’m lazy and dumb at terraforming also I suck at tiles so I’m willing to pay 1,000,000 bells for someone to come in and tile the place with a cute tile of some sorts and some cute terraforming and if you need any furniture for decorating my island “if you want to” I will get it for you! You have free roam of my island and you get payed that amount please somebody help me lol 😉

[tidal herald]

No super functional but I’m in love

[junior ore]

any tips? i dont have much space to work with unfortunately

[dark bramble]

Is there a DA i would love to visit it!

[honest cradle]

Not much of a decorator but feedback is always appreciated

[dusky fable]

Not yet cuz i started this theme few days ago. Tysm for your compliment

[dark mango]

Maybe add lil mushrooms or flowers

Either way it looks pretty good

[woven drift]

I have half of my island empty, what do I fill it in with? My island has no theme. Its just a simple and compact town

[frank silo]

im working on this little greenhouse area. does anyone have any tips? im just not satisfied with it atm :/
i do plan on adding a bee model when i get one. i could always flatten it instead of having it on a cliff but i like the waterfall element

[keen brook]

Does anyone want to help me with ideas for my island?

[woven drift]

I have half of my island empty, what do I fill it in with? My island has no theme. Its just a simple and compact town?

[keen dock]

Does this path design have a particular name? I've been trying to search up "natural" but no luck

[pale cobalt]

this is mine! (the shrubs have grown in since LOL) - I change the lights etc to be seasonal usually!

[strange bridge]

OMGDLFJGLK ITS SO PRETTYYYY

great inspos!!! so happy I asked n//n

[honest cradle]

Thank you

[hollow gate]

what do you guys do with your lily of the valleys?

have a bit of an excess

[icy galleon]

Anyone have an ocean/coastal themed Island I could see for inspo?

[woven drift]

hi deari!

[civic star]

cool rock garden thing

[keen dock]

Has anyone got a creator code / path design that looks like this? I'm looking for a natural feeling to connect everything (I've looked up this code and they've deleted the paths)

[hidden bone]

@keen dock I’ve got these dirt paths that might be similar to what you’re looking for

[spring citrus]

You can just look up "the path" on the custom designs thing in the able sisters and you'll find a bunch like those iirc

[strange bridge]

Hi Chelsea!!! :> fancy seeing you here!! 🌸 did you see the rock gardens people shared?? so pretty!!! ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾

[thorn idol]

let me know if this is not the right channel, but i was wondering if the tree would grow of i had these sides into diagonal

[keen dock]

Brilliant! I did search up paths on the creator designer + app but nothing I liked. I'm sure it's keywords! :D

[spring citrus]

I'm pretty sure it won't grow because of the cliff, since you aren't able to place a path there so the cliff is taking up that space
I think the water won't affect it though

[thorn idol]

aww okay! thank you so much!

[spring citrus]

You're welcome :]

[near turret]

Can anyone tell me which wall they think looks better?

[woven drift]

Right in my opinion

[near turret]

Thanks!

[cinder oar]

Right sure!!

[near turret]

Thanks!

[woven drift]

Add more bushes, flowers, weeds, and trees

[fair totem]

finally finished my ables area

[jaunty lotus]

love to see another kidcore island!

[steady summit]

Does anyone have any entrance ideas for a cottagecore island? 🤍

[timber hornet]

someone said to ask here and, should i pay someone to do my acnh house interrior?

[green cedar]

thoughts on my entrance so far

[frail ore]

Marshal in his new entrance

[woven drift]

I'm doing a Rainbow theme for my island and I'm having trouble picking a theme for each color, what should I do for Yellow and green

[brazen lagoon]

@timber hornet pay? How much, in animal Crossing currency?

@woven drift how about a fruity oranges/tropical theme for the color orange?

And use the ice/winter style items for blue

[woven drift]

You are so smart

I should have thought about that

Tysm

[brazen lagoon]

Np

[timber hornet]

yep! 20,00 bells and a squeekoid

bc i am out of ideas

[brazen lagoon]

@timber hornet that doesn't sound bad, as long as it's not a scam and you like their creations/idea

[timber hornet]

yea

[woven drift]

looking for inspiration for the front yard of my house!

[pale cobalt]

Green you could do forest with out of season shrubs and green mums etc? Have green iron garden furniture and green checked rugs for picnics?
Yellow could be a beekeeping area with honey themes?

[errant sigil]

Started working on my side river mouth! If you can't tell it's also going to be the beginnings of my Asian area

Far from done yet, but I'm pretty damn happy with how it's coming along

[errant sigil]

It's cute! Love it :)

[errant sigil]

I really liked how you use the fence around the trees! Never thought of that! May borrow this idea

[floral locust]

I like the color palate that you chose

[fair totem]

tysm! ive actually been working on it again so i might send another pic soon 😅

[errant sigil]

What's your theme?

[fair totem]

i was going for cottagecore, but theres some bits of bamboo/cherry blossom in there

[fossil plank]

Anyone know like a rug or floor pattern that would work here?

[errant sigil]

Lol I had to google cottagecore the other day just to figure out what my theme is lol

I think I fit it?

Mine is like mostly forest/nature/maybe cottage?

No clue.

[fossil plank]

Yea cottage core is a pretty broad theme imo

[errant sigil]

I'm kind of jumping around, but just started working on asian area

Yeah no clue lol

I just do what I like

[errant sigil]

Tribal?

That's a really cute set up too

[fair totem]

yeah same its kinda just barrels.. and barbed wire fences

[errant sigil]

I like the second row far right and the bottom row middle

Or even top right

[fossil plank]

Yea I was leaning towards the second row far right as well

[errant sigil]

This is cute too

[fossil plank]

Also, is that an app for ACNH designs?

[errant sigil]

They have custom designs on here

So sometimes I'll look on this app

[fossil plank]

Yea I’m def downloading that haha

[errant sigil]

Haha :D

I use Google/Pinterest/and this lol

[fair totem]

a bit of an update, still needs a some more furniture tho i think

[errant sigil]

I like it :)

You should put bunnies in

I forget what it's called

You can have different colored bunnies!

Or even the ducks

[fair totem]

oh yeah thats a rlly good idea! ill try to find sum of those

[errant sigil]

Maybe a leaf pile as well

Also under those white chairs you have, put some of the dirt custom pathing you got

Except make like a dirt patch

Like that under the well

But for your chairs

[errant sigil]

@fair totem going to bed, but shoot me a friend request! My friend code should be in #494386287953051658 for Bobaland

[oak wigeon]

Would like some opinions on my entrance, I do a lot of trading on nookazon so I would prefer to keep it open but at the same time it feels empty

[fair totem]

alr!

[oak wigeon]

My theme is like witchcore? More on the dark side

[quasi warren]

if you want to keep that open space, then i’d definitely recommend adding in some furniture/terraforming behind (especially on the left side). if you make it feel more closed in, it might not feel as “open”

[woven drift]

Hi! I'm sorry to put this message in here but i was hoping someone could help me with the layout of my island? I started about a week ago and having to make the decisions where certain houses/buildings go is giving me massive anxiety. I was hoping to go for some forest-y/woodsy vibe, please message me! Thank you! (:

[woven drift]

Can anyone tell me how to get this item?

[floral locust]

Heyo, you can get it from nook's cranny or HHP ( if you have DLC) its a purchaseable item

[viscid osprey]

I just redesigned this area of my island into a train station! Anyone has any ideas or thoughts?

[dark bramble]

You can try to split your path a little. It would give a more natural look it. Like on the image letting space between.

[dusky fable]

The entrance

[errant sigil]

Hey :) I'm doing a forest/wood vibe. I just kind of started terraforming till I found something I liked and as I terraformed I decided if I wanted to put a house somewhere

Not really a big planner just kind of see what works

[errant sigil]

Love it!!

Yay! Sasha's house has been moved and my bridge is built!!!

[dusky fable]

Tysm

[errant sigil]

:)

It gives me Aladdin vibes

[woven drift]

does anyone have any entrance ideas with a pic

thx

[next gulch]

Lil space area I made

[errant sigil]

Got a theme in mind?

[woven drift]

forest

swamoy

swampy*

something like that

[woven drift]

Tysm!

[verbal marten]

Redesigning island and here’s Rudy’s lil segment with his house, any ideas to spruce it up? Sorta jock villager vibes but also giving good nature and zen vibes

Especially what to do in that top right corner

[copper matrix]

anyone got any offcenter museum inspo? LOL

im probably going to build something at the side of it, but i dont have any ideas

[woven drift]

Behind the his his and wall you should be bamboo trees

[serene echo]

any tips for island decorating? i’m returning to the game and my island is 💀 like everything’s unlocked

[rotund sparrow]

Slowly starting to think up a new island entrance... I think Cole likes it already

[junior ore]

I think I'm finished with my farm/orchard cooking area for now

[kindred lake]

how about....... A 1970s retro/vintage americana island?

[woven drift]

Hii! So, I'm sort of stumped on what to build in this large area :')
My island has no theme, I've thought about doing a sushi market or a cat café (because it's an all cat island,) but idk at this point-- ^^;
Anyone have any suggestions?

[kindred lake]

Cool, I would totally go for a sushi shop, works well for a cat island, even better if you have a small fishing harbour to get fresh produce from. (got an all cat island too)

[woven drift]

aah alrighty! I thought it worked well as well, just was heavily debating on if I should actually build one or not.
I like that idea though, thank you!!
(Also :o cat islands are just, my favorite thing, lmao)

[kindred lake]

I went for a ramen shop myself but am seriously considering adding an extra human to my island just so i can make their house a sushi shop

[woven drift]

That is extremely fair tbh! Honestly though, if you're considering on doing that, I say go for it! Plus, that sounds like a fun idea to decorate a players house as a sushi shop!

[glacial widget]

I really need help and advice on redesigning my entire island layout!😵‍💫 It’s a total sporadic mess!

I want to try turning my island into an amusement park, but I’m having trouble with it!😵‍💫 DM me if you’re interested on helping! I’ll do my best to repay you in return!

[floral locust]

Oooo how is the start of your amusement park going?

[rotund sparrow]

Research what areas are in amusement parks and how to integrate it with furniture available ingame. Consider color schemes. Think of how to handle villager housing. Do you have the dlc? And if you do, will you customize the villager houses to fit the things you need them for?

[edgy obsidian]

Anyone have ideas on what to do with this space ?

[solid drift]

what kind of theme is your island??

[edgy obsidian]

It’s a bit of a messy forest core? Here’s my entrance for reference

I do like to throw in bits of color with flowers and accent items tho

I just think that space is kinda unique and I could use it to design something more interesting than just a pathway

[solid drift]

oo ok, maybe you could go with a laundry area? i.e. :

[edgy obsidian]

OOOOO

Good idea! Thank you!!!

[edgy obsidian]

UPDATE!!! Thank u sm 🙂

[solid drift]

ofc it looks amazing!!

[solemn elm]

Looks so cute

[mighty sleet]

Would someone like to come to my island and give me ideas on what to build based off my theme?

Ok great! Thank you TT

59XYB

😭 sorry, I’m always checking

And okie, take your time!

Alrighty!!

@woven drift you can do and tell me anything! And go anywhere haha

[woven drift]

My entrance is almost done 😁

[dark urchin]

When using custom designs, is it best to place an in game pathing under it? For my new island theme, I plan on using a good amount of storefronts, medieval walls, and castle items to make buildings and stuff. I’m not sure if I should just place custom designs down or place an in game path underneath. I actually like both ways of doing things. My island will be set during winter this time. I don’t know if that matters any.

[copper matrix]

trees arent grown yet but... progress shot of the museum, yeppers.

and a pretty much finished soccer field outside nooks cranny!
