In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, decorating your island is a crucial aspect of the game. To unlock exterior decorating, you must work on your second home with Paradise Planning. When you arrive at the second home, Niko will invite you to enter Decorating Mode while outdoors. Before starting to decorate and terraforming your island, have a vision. This page offers ideas on how to decorate your island, including beginner-friendly ideas like creating gardens and parks. The second section will focus on more complex ideas.
To achieve a five-star island, players need to create tools, earn bells, and earn bells. A walkthrough and beginner’s guide are available in this guide. Once players have filled their island with villagers and have K.K Slider perform, the real work begins. Terraforming is unlocked, and players can bend the land to their will. It is around that time when players might set a goal to get a five-star review.
Once players reach a three-star rating on their island, they can unlock the Island Designer app on their NookPhone. This app allows players to reshape the island and make it unique and beautiful. Some tips and tricks for island decorating include placing buildings in the correct locations, adding fences, paths, and more.
In summary, decorating your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an exciting and rewarding activity that requires a clear vision and a desire to make it unique and beautiful. By following these steps, players can create a beautiful and unique island that is ready for play.

📹 Planning Your Island in 5 Simple Steps | Animal Crossing New Horizons
Hello beautiful humans, today I’m taking you through my process for planning an island! This is just MY process, not THE process, …
This article was very helpful and inspiring! With the game celebrating its third anniversary, I recently started a new 🏝, Peachwood! The name was inspired by the native peach trees. Still very early on, don’t even have Resident Services yet, and I’m not time traveling. But I aim to learn from the failures of my previous islands, which were all dumpster fires, and make Peachwood something truly special. I think the entryway might be the last thing I do. Since I plan to do my terraforming from the top down, I made the conscious decision to cluster as many homes as possible near the entry. That way I only have to move them once, saving time and bells!
When terraforming, you should always start by removing every second line of cliff. If there’s 2 on the end, start from the side and do every second line from there. Never EVER do each line one at a time. It wastes so much time and perusal you, even as an example, infuriates me lol Another pro tip: instead of turning and carefully positioning yourself before hitting the cliff, turn in a little circle. It will line you up with the next spot you want to remove. You can also press B to make tighter/faster turns. Use at your own discretion.
I flattened my first island completely, then got too overwhelmed with how I was going to continue. I just reset for the first time (I’ll find you again chevre 😢 I promise) and really gonna try to do things in a more cohesive manner this time around, now that I know what mistakes I made the first time. All buildings are on the beach and I picked a layout that looked good to build off of. Will not be flattening this time around, but I’ll be using the layout I have and adjusting as I see fit. AND definitely starting with building the entrance first. I think that will really set the tone and inspire me to continue creatively
thank you for this article, those tips are really helpful! 🙂 do you also have any tips on how you decide where to put certain areas? that’s something i really struggle with because the map is just so big. i want to make my island feel more spaced out, but i am not sure where to start after decorating the entrance.
I’m just now at a point where I can even begin designing and that’s because I’m super meticulous about certain details. I had to ensure my house was upgraded fully, including storage, and then once that was done, I began. I have a a few areas that I’m super happy with, but I’m really struggling to make it look great. At least in my eyes. I’ve seen some super awesome and beautiful islands and I feel like although I’m super creative in other things, I just can’t seem to do what I want on this island. I have to have my trees a certain distance apart and set up in a way that I’m able to see them well. It drives me crazy when they’re too close and I can’t see what dropped. I want to use hills and elevate certain areas, so I started that. I kind of wish I hadn’t so it was all flat still, but I had a huge cluster mess of villagers in one spot that needed to be moved so I could begin doing some things there. I have ideas, such as I want an outdoor music venue, a gym area, a farmers market, and I’d like to have a “city/plaza” area where you’d go to shop, get something from a cafe, and enjoy the boardwalk by the beach. BUT I CAN’T seem to get it together just right. I have a farm, which is important to me (maybe not others) which is something I’ve found during my “research” as I call it 😂 Certain things are important to one person and not to another, so that definitely goes into how your island is done up. I’m just lost. I want something amazing, yet simple. I just can’t seem to get it down and that’s what’s bothering me.
Ive had 5 islands and i never finished any of them because i always changed my theme in the middle of decorating so i had to restart to find a new fitting name.. i just can’t move on if something isnt perfect in my eyes, so now im sitting here flattening my new island and hoping i will keep my theme hahaha 😩
Hi! I love this article! So many amazing tips! But I have a question, do you have any advice for my problem? I’ve already been playing for years, im a huge fan of Animal Crossing, And especially New horizons! But my island already has houses and stores and the muesem, and everything is leveled up to the max, but my island is not decorated at all! and i have no idea where im going to put the villagers houses! I really need help, so do you have any advice for already made, but very messy islands that need to be designed? Thanks for the help! :>
These are all such great tips!! I am about to start my 3rd island, too, and I find all of these things really help. I’ve also finally learned to allow myself some room to change my plans/ideas on the fly because sometimes, once you really get going, ideas change. Personally, if I am not loving it, I just sort of stop playing. oop!
