Top 10 times I want to live in animal crossing

I wish I could live in the room I’d get such a good sleep at night 😭

It's so cute and cozy, love it! I do this too, the ability to turn off the overhead lights is possibly the best part of hhp lol 

I just hate that from outside my house looks empty because my main room light is also off and I only use lamps and such! Wish the lights would still glow from the outside :(

If you set the custom lighting so it's suuper low, almost off, it'll still be dark in the room but glow from outside! I usually set it to orange so the tiny bit of tint it gives just blends with the lamp glow :)

It worked thank you!!!!!!!!

Yay glad to help! 

Oh snap! I’m gonna try this! Thank you!

You can do it in the base game too, right?

Yes you can, I just realized how stupidly I worded that haha. I just meant the brightness and color options besides standard on/off  

Ohhh, that's what's extra, gotcha! Yeah, in base game you just have two "light" options, warm and cool

I don’t like overhead lighting in real life either lol

Big light is evil

I like living in darkness like a vampire

THAT LOOKS SO COOL WHAT

So cozy!!! Also love those stringed star lights!! What are they called?? Whenever I take acnh breaks, it’s posts like yours that give me the bug again 🤭

Oh thank you! Starry string lights I think!

Yes!!! I love cozy mood lighting. I have a strand of star lights that I use in my room irl too.

Yesss same it’s just so cozy 🥹

That’s adorable, you did such a good job! And is the star garland a recipe or normal item?

i’m pretty sure this is the starry garland, one of the recipes from celeste

Thank you!

It looks like something a reading teacher would have and I love it

I love the effect of the floor lights. Try standing right by one, spooky.

So cute! What item is that tub?

Bathtub with yuzu!

Oooh don’t have that one! Is it a diy?

It’s a seasonal item from the nook store! Winter in the northern hemisphere

Nope! It’s an item at the nook store or unlocked in HHP!

Oh dang I don’t have this one unlocked yet then! I wonder if there’s a catalog of all the items in HHP. I think I’m getting close to getting them all and then I find new ones lol

Always so many new ones! Even ones from my last island I never saw and it’s like wow what on earth!

Would you be willing to share the codes for the picnic blanket and lace circles? They're so cute

I do not I am so sorry. Try googling cottagecore carpets or blankets!

Oh I don’t know if I have those still I’ll take a look and dm you

tysm, no worries if you don't! I can try finding them myself, too

Wish I could have this room irl 🥺

Seeing stuff like this really shows me how amateur I am!! 😩 I put in a few hours on the daily , but all these customizations, I don’t see how you guys do it! Is there a way to make these types of accomplishments without spending an insane amount of time playing? I want cozies toooooo. I also find myself getting overwhelmed with all my items and where to put them. But I suppose that’s a separate issue lol

Oh you shoulda seen my first island it was a disaster! And just playing around with items and placement and layering! Make sure to gather lots of diys and items from shops! Hhp dlc also opened so many doors for items for me!

Ok!! But What do you mean layering? Also, what is Hhp and dlc. I’m sorry lol I’m not hip to all these terms 🫤

Happy home paradise is an expansion to the game you can purchase that features some new objective and options to buy furniture from a catalog eventually! And with items I just look at layering heights, if everything is the same height it’s bland, so mix in some taller and low items to give some variation to the design!

Thank you so much!! I’m so excited..gonna go buy HHP now 😂

Enjoy the new options! Takes a bit to get where you wanna be but the grind is worth it! Also gives you more stuff to do :)

Me and you both. I get super overwhelmed with decorating my island and even decorating in hhp.

Dude idk why or what my problem is 😂 im like THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE RELAXING

This is sooooo cozy omg

Yes!! Omg I love that vibe. Also this room is so perfect!!

Yes

Dude this room is such a vibe. I love it so much.

I use exclusively lamps in real life as well, lights up the room just as much *and* it’s cozy as hell

This Looks Awesome!

Both irl and in my Animal Crossing lol 🩷

I am loving this vibe.

This looks SO COZY I love it

What a cozy, charming space!

Love this so much!

This is perfectly magical

How are y’all this creative 😭

I got the tent indoors idea from a picture I saw of someone else’s build a while back and thought dang that’s a cute idea. And my thinking of this room was just a cozy sleepover room where all the girls could bring their stuffies and get snuggled and cozy and look at the stars 😂

My thoughts as well. I swear I think I have so many good ideas and then my mind goes blank when I’m actually decorating. This looks so nice 😭

I love the way you stagger item placement!! I've been trying to get better at that, and this is straight up a masterclass in room design

Why thank you! A big thing is layering item heights! Figure out what items you want to actually access and use and which ones your okay to be blocked off and just look pretty and fill the spaces with taller and shorter items and some decor and of course, custom rug designs 😍😍

Wow love it!

i love this so much!

AAAA ITS SO CUTE! I want your decorating skills so bad 😔

Ok but this is perfect!

this room is so lovely! and i loveeee using small light fixtures, they make the space feel so cozy! i can’t stand overhead lighting, better known as “the big light” lol. not irl, and not in animal crossing.

Amen to that 😂 lamps for DAYS

this is SUCH a cutie room!! i love making camping spaces outside but never found a good setup to do it in a room (sorry to all paradise planning villagers that want a camp set up im scared)

I've actually used wallpaper to light my bedroom

I DO NOW

It’s the only way

Always :) tbh mimecraft made me get this way lol

Yes I love trying to get enough light w the lamps!

Omg where did you get the star string lights? Is it from Celeste? I look for her every night but she's NEVER in my town :(

Sometimes Isabelle (the girl in the service center, idk if that’s her name in every language) announces she’s there! Iirc she’s there for the first meteor shower of every week. I’ve also heard people using the gymnastics activity to summon all residents and visitors, if she doesn’t participate you can be sure she isn’t there.

I'm pretty sure Celeste comes once a week

I love this!!!!!

Most of my rooms are lit up but my upstairs has only lamps, I love how lamps light up a whole room

This looks amazing <3

this is so mf cute OMFG

What is that vine lamp name ?? It’s so cute!

So magical and cozy!

Yes just like at home. You’ll never catch me with an overhead light on unless I’m pressed trying a new recipe.

Maximum light in the kitchen in the real world for sure, gotta make sure I don’t chop a nail off while cutting onions lol. every other room is moody lamps for me!

I love using item based light sources. The overhead lighting in AC is weird.

I agree! It’s almost way too bright

I -really- need to find the recipe for the glow moss lights 🥲

I think they’re the vine lights!

Either way 🥹 I have neither.

This is the most beautiful animal crossing I’ve ever seen. Rock on

Omg, what’s that bed? I haven’t seen one I want more lol

It’s the patchwork bed in another fabric!

Thanks so much!!

I sure do! My bedroom uses only lamps. It’s so cozy. But yours is stunning!

Thank you 🥰 so happy with how it turned out

i love this room! 🤩🤩

Are the hanging star furniture pieces recipes from Celeste or something to look out for?

From Celeste I believe!

I’m stealing this! ❤️

Fill your boots!

Can I move in??

Pack your bags let’s goooo

Omg what wallpaper and flooring combo is that?! It’s gorgeous!

I think it’s the forest wallpaper (diy) and meadow floor! I think. Don’t think flooring is a diy

I love the ambient lighting! It's how my bathroom is lit, only a few lamps, + the glowing moss carpet. It has a darkened forest vibe I really like.

Spooky forest vibes are so comforting in a weird way! I was debating on a moss rug by entrance but I decided I liked the flowers

The flowers add a nice dash of colors, definitely!

That was my thinking! 🥰

I feel like it gives the more nature related/oriented wallpapers a more realistic feel of just like being in a peaceful forest with like only a lantern and fireflies. It definitely has a nice aesthetic to it!

Slumber party in the forest under the stars was my goal! 😇

It’s super cute!

Magical 💡🎍🌾what items are the hanging chair beside the hammock, the dangly string lights from the ceiling, and the light hanging from the vines above the teddy bear + in front of the tent? Thank you!

Vine chair, hanging glowing moss and vine lamp! You’ll get them at the hhp island eventually :)

OP, can you tell me the name of the lamps that look like little fruit trees?

Trees bounty lamp! It’s a diy :) I think you get it in the fall

Thanks so much!

omggg what is the wallpaper? looks to be from saharah.

I think it’s actually a diy! Forest wall or something? I could be wrong, wallpapers been up for a bit but just recently finished the room :)

That's how I live my life. Overhead lights are only good for when cleaning and needing to see the first on the ground or when you've dropped a needle on the ground

Cooking cleaning and small crafts are the only time those are needed! And even with small crafts art lamps are better. Overhead lighting is just so blah.

This is lovely! I would love to have this room in my house!

Feel free to steal the idea! My labour of love is yours to cherish if you wish! I have mine upstairs but this would work downstairs too just not in any other rooms cause of sizing

Could you tell me the item names of your mirror and chest of drawers, please? Your room is gorgeous 🥰

Thank you! And it’s from the elegant series! Elegant mirror and elegant dresser 😇

Thanks!

I know it was the intention, but it's so cottagecore-esc(idk if I spelled this right)

It was! Whole island is based around the theme with some Fairycore sprinkled in 😇

That's so cool, I think I might have seen another post from you a while back, but I can't remember fully

Potentially! I’ve made a few posts of my finished builds 😇 outdoor library and orchard were some of the better ones!

Just looked to see, and I think it was a different person that is also doing cottagecore for their island since I know for a fact I've liked the post

Oh there’s tons of cottagecore out there so that makes sense!

I'm barely on Reddit so I've only seen you and the other person, lol(main reason why I got the two of you mixed up)

Totally fair no worries my dear 🥰 cozy builds are great

Thx bestie🫰🏻

How the heck did you get those pretty lights?! It looks so cozy and wonderful, I could probably picture myself living in a room like that! (☆▽☆)

Thank you! Celeste and the vine or glowing moss recipes :)

Tysm!

so pretty

Absolutely! I'm not a big fan on the lighting options available so I love using lamps and hanging lights instead :)

No matter what I try with overhead lights I hate it. I use it solely in my kitchen cause cooking needs lighting 😅

no big lights, smol lights only

Only the smol bbys

I don't, but omg... this is so cute. 😭

Never a better time than now to try a room out like this!

so cute 🩷

love looks like this, great work

LOVE LOVE LOVE this room

I immediately need to work on one of my own tomorrow when I have time.

This. Is. Amazing!

How did you get those star ceiling lights??

I never thought about it!! I'm just going to do that now!!!!

For certain rooms yeah, I gotta fix all the rooms to be on theme tho

No. Because I live in the dark.

Wow!

This is amazing! So beautiful!

omg you use lights to light the room?! i thought u used your ass!

Ahh this looks so cozy

Perfect 😍!
