Whether it be using official Halloween items, or improvising with cool custom content, players have come up with some spook-tacular island ideas!

This selfie was taken at the entrance of ‘Pink Sea’, an island which I visited via its dream address. For those of you who are wanting a super-kawaii pink island, I’d recommend a visit to Pink Sea for inspiration. I’ve been following Pink Sea’s creator, Jennifer, since ACNL, where I was awed by her super-cute town! The Dream Address for the island is DA-2045-8323-2479. You can check out all of the cool stuff she’s up to on her website, here. Nature-themed/Garden Entrances:

It can be daunting knowing where to start with any island renovations. It can also be a bit disheartening to see other people’s awesome creations and feel like your own island is lackluster in comparison (I’ve been there!).
However, don’t be disheartened, as ACNH isn’t meant to be stressful! (Although the Bunny Day festivities kinda were, so thanks, Nintendo…)

But back on topic, if you’re dead (like Zipper will be if he ever sets foot on my island again) set on making your airport/island entrance look super cool, then these simple tips will heed you well. Be sure to take all the time you need, plan your island entrance in advance (see below for tools and tips to help), and most importantly, make sure that you do you! ๐
Stay Organized, Make A Map
Planning is an important part of terraforming/landscaping your island. Therefore, like these awesome island maps shown below, you could definitely hand draw your island map, or use digital art software (which would make a nice memento). But it doesn’t even need to be that hard with this Google docs spreadsheet ACNH map creator ๐๐บ๏ธ
See How Your Ideas Look Using A Planner First:
If you
are too busy hunting down that blasted bunny with an axedon’t have the time (or inclination) to hand-draw/create your entire island map, then don’t worry! A handy 3D ACNH island planner is available to download for free on itch.io.Here you can try out terraforming ideas and get an idea of how they’ll look in 3D before committing to paying for that darn bridge, only to have to give Tom Nook more bells to demolish it, yet again! If you own a Chromebook like myself, you may be disappointed to know that the app is only avilable to download on Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems. Although you can still use the planner in-browser whilst using a Chromebook, which I discovered AFTER using the below method…
You can also use the more simplistic in-browser Happy Island Designer planner here. Whilst unfortunately not 3D, the tool does allow you to plan your island beforehand, instead of getting stuck right in, only to realize that you don’t know where to start.
I found it quite handy to see roughly how my island would look, due to the ability to place trees, flowers, and buildings. Additionally, you can upload a photo or screenshot of your island map layout before starting, something which would’ve saved me a lot of time, had I known beforehand… (Man, I need to do my research)! ๐ Here is my first attempt at using Happy Island Designer:

In previous games, players were limited when decorating their Able Sisters’ exteriors. Pixelated paths were basically the only way of landscaping in Animal Crossing: Wild World. I remember trying to spruce up my Animal Crossing: Wild World shops by using mismatched flowers from Tom Nook. I also remember crudely insulting the tanuki tycoon on the bulletin board, but that’s for another time (and probably another place). But even using flowers to decorate was difficult due to the darn pavement beneath the shops.
Even in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the shopping area was unchangeable. Additionally, players couldn’t curve paths, terraform, or place furniture outside. Therefore the addition of these features to Animal Crossing: new Horizons is what makes the game so attractive.
Players just have so much more freedom and ways to be creative when it comes to exterior design. However, the sudden abundance of tools given to us can be a little daunting. Somehow staring at plain grass doesn’t seem to help inspiration to hit any faster.
Not used to decorating the exteriors of shops in the games, I had no clue where to start. The outside areas of Able Sisters and Nook’s Cranny on my island remained pitifully drab until REALLY recently. Are you in the same boat? Get inspired by these Able Sisters exteriors from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Why not use one of these amazing path designs around your Able Sisters shop?

Search online for Animal Crossing: New Horizons beach ideas and you’ll find an almost infinite amount of beautiful beach inspiration. Additionally, the internet also has lots of examples of gorgeous gardens, wonderful waterfalls and cool campsites from the game. As inspiration is everywhere, you may have finished decorating your island. On the other hand, you might still have some areas that are a bit bare.
I have plenty of these spaces. In my case, the flat rocks by the beaches are the most frustrating areas. Small and weirdly-shaped, these rocks have angered me from day one. To make matters worse, there are few articles dedicated solely to Animal Crossing: New Horizons rock areas.
As a result, I decided to gather in this article my favorite ways in which people have been filling these spaces. Onsens, smoothie cafes, and places to wash socks, there’s inspiration for everyone on how to jazz up those rocks. From the cutest of painting spots right next to the sea, to relaxing spaces where your player can drink tea.
The creative ways that players are using these areas are seriously clever. Make sure to carry on reading to see some rad Animal Crossing: New Horizons rock areas.

With the ability to customize furniture and awesome array of new wallpapers and floorings available in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players have more choice than ever before when decorating their home.
However, the amount of choice can sometimes be overwhelming. Maybe you don’t know how to go about placing wall-mounted items? Does your bathroom feel a little empty? Or perhaps you feel your basement looks like it could well be the missing dump from Animal Crossing for GameCube? If you found yourself saying yes, you’re in the right place! (Even if you’re happy with your home, keep reading to see some seriously cool spaces!).
Players have already demonstrated their talent when it comes to terraforming and exterior design. It’s therefore no suprise that people are also creating some super stunning rooms.
From the more traditional bedrooms and bathrooms, to games rooms and rooms inspired by pop culture, there are thousands of incredible interior designs to be discovered on the web. Although we can’t show them all, here are just a few impressive interiors from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
