15 Best Summer Island Design Ideas in Animal Crossing New Horizons
In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can create your own vacation with these DIY summer projects inspired by the game! Hang out with friends and family by the beach, or make your village a summer paradise. All that’s left is to plan an island-themed vacation for your real life!
1/15. ACNH Cafe at Beach
When you work in the resort industry, your clientele are known to get hungry. So turn your underwater resort into a beach front cafe—and watch your popularity soar. No need to limit your creativity.
As you can see, the rewrite focusses on a more friendly tone, which is important when writing for an audience that one might later meet in person at conventions or when pitching to them.
2/15. ACNH Market of Fragrant Flower
The Sims Mobile will have everything you loved about the original game, but with a twist: the addition of flowers. They’ll be available in eight different colors, growing on their own in the wilds or sold at market stalls. Whether you prefer sunflowers, poppies or lilies, this new version of your favorite game is sure to delight — just make sure that it doesn’t put you off your rose-based perfume!
3/15. ACNH River Relaxing Lazy
Not sure about you, but I’m sick of standing on the shore just watching as my fellow villagers have all the fun splashing around in the water. And did you notice that thing — it’s called a ‘lazy river’! What a joke! There’s no way I’m going to let my village become known as anything but the most elegant and refined place in Surviving Mancala.
4/15. ACNH Getaway Tropical Island
Wouldn’t you love to visit sunny Bali or the beautiful isle of Hawaii? Now, you can bring a little bit of that holiday magic to your home with New Horizon’s indoor and outdoor island décor. You’re just a few clicks away from the perfect setting for your next party — and maybe a vacation — in paradise!
To create a tropical vibe, you’ll want to invest in a few things. First, you might consider adding a few coconut trees, hydrangea, hyacinth, and hibiscus. You’ll also want to construct some botanical gardens (and be sure to include a surf shop and some food trucks). After that, invite all your friends over to enjoy the relaxing environment you’ve created.
5/15. ACNH Honey Farm Artisan
With Animal Crossing, you can hive off the responsibility of keeping bees from your kids, or simply let them keep bees as a family activity. This is possible thanks to Animal Crossing, a game that lets you do just that! Beekeeping used to be such a chore. Now, it’s even fun for kids.
6/15. ACNH Luau Party
Your pool party guests will love knowing that they can sit anywhere! From the dining table to the balcony, your poolside residents will never feel their seating options are limited. The seating map for homes with pools is just as flexible as the sea of pillows on your poolside lilo. Design your own Seating Map today!
7/15. ACNH Party Summer Pool
You don’t have to be perfect to lay some tiles, but it’s not just a saying — it’s a fact. In fact, laying down a few custom-designed tiled pools in your Animal Crossing town will make you a lot of friends. And, who doesn’t want that?
Fill up your pool with mini-floaties, colorful ball pit balls, and inner tubes. Maybe you’ll even catch a few of your favorite Instagram bloggers lounging around. They’ll definitely mention your entertaining Instagram post! Get the ultimate in Instagrammable luxury, build right by the beach — you know, for the best lighting.
8/15. ACNH Cozy Campsite
The only thing that would make a camping experience complete is a familiar face. The perfect camping accessory for a visiting island villager is a carefully crafted basket filled with goodies from home. It’ll be just like a vacation!
9/15. ACNH Court Basketball
Your villagers are active, but they’re getting tired of soccer and beach volleyball. Make sure that your playground area is big enough to accommodate a full-sized basketball court, as well as half-sized tennis courts. You can have the tennis courts double up as a skating rink in winter too — a nice surprise for your villagers.
10/15. ACNH Zen Sauna, Spa
Wrap yourself in the soothing sounds of nature with the new river stone flooring. Gaze into the starry sky while laying on a hammock, or take a dip in one of our steam rooms fitted with water fountain effects and aromatherapy products. Other spa-vacation essentials include hair bands, wrap dresses and cucumbers, made especially for the Able Sisters.
11/15. ACNH Picnic Forest Grounds
Pack your basket and gather up the villagers for a picnic out in the forest! You can even build your own playground for them to play on when they’re hungry!
12/15. ACNH Arcade Retro
The retro arcade is one of the most exciting elements of Antique Church and House, making it a truly unique location for events! The environment is very colourful, but features dark designs — neon lights against dark backdrops. Neon colours are the best way to make this idea pop!
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a game where you can design your ideal home. Whether you have a few hundred bells to spend or just a handful of change, you can buy furniture and items from the in-game store and turn your house into something special. And when you’re done with that, why not take your room online? Share images of your perfect home with friends and family!
13/15. ACNH Lemonade
You’ve always wanted to open your own lemonade stand. You love everything about the classic summer tradition, from the bite of the ice-cold sugar water, to the smell of the lemons. And best of all, customers can’t resist your bright yellow color! Create your lemonade stand and make some money while doing something you love!
14/15. ACNH Fairy Light Twinkling Patio
If you have been through all the hard work of getting your summer cottage ready for guests, why not add a special touch to your place with some light decor? With a few tweaks here and there, you can turn your summer cottage into something more than just a place to sleep.
15/15. ACNH Cinema Outdoor
Turn on the projector and your outdoor movie theater is live! What’s a movie without popcorn? Add some hanging lanterns overhead for some extra flair, or keep it simple with plain white lights. It’s probably best to opt for the later, so you don’t spill your popcorn everywhere.
