#1. City Vibes - DA-6659-5033-3657

This is like the tropical resort city vibes, absolutely lovely and right over the shops, so we've got Nooks Cranny, it's super nice. The wooden deck custom design for Nook’s Cranny matches the wood foundation of the shop itself, all the little items around are great, you've got like a little work corner, you can cook, craft, get money, there's a storage shed. It's just very convenient, so thinking about the items you want to have around your shops is important in addition to just the design elements. 

Then you can go right across the street and here's Able Sisters with a similar vibe going on, very cozy, Nook’s Cranny was a little bit more industrial with the boxes, the ladder and everything placed about. So this is nice and comfy and cozy for the Able Sisters which is the vibe they give off.

#2. Cranny - DA-1170-9674-7547

This next shop is super creative, it's Nooks Cranny, undergoing the upgrade for remodeling. The little paint cans, the items used out here are so nifty, also the truck area over here, Nook’s Cranny is getting in some new items, some new inventory, it's just super convenient, really nice and it's really funny that we have like Island Renovations undergoing except it's created by the representative. This is a cool creative way to do your Island.

#3. Shopping Plaza - DA-1401-6326-0493

We've got Able Sisters here and then just to the left is a resident representative home and then Nooks Cranny. That worked out brilliantly, the color here is so bright and vibrant. The wall separating is great, also there are little shops over here as well like this little Bakery area, it's cute. People do that when they have little market stalls around their shops.

#4. Kidcore Island - DA-1401-6326-0493

This island is a Kidcore Wonderland, it is so cute, we have the bright designs on the ground, everything is so colorful. They are so exciting and they really help you to use some of the items in the game that you might not use for more like Cottagecore islands. As usual, super convenient that the two shops are located right beside each other, we've got like a little market area here, look at the little bean stock, it's a giant vine, it's a bean stock on kidcore Islands. This is just precious and we've got these little shopping baskets for convenience, it's just super cute. At the back of the island, you get a view, we've also got a gnome, being experimented on. 

#5. Mall Island - DA-2236-8686-7620

Next we've got some more small town vibes, the creator said they specifically put some of the resident representative houses among the shops in order to make it feel more small Towny. Definitely worth exploring probably if you want to visit the dream address you can go see the mall rooms, this is super cute though, we've got a little stall out here with sweaters and accessories, and then just on the other side a little newspaper stand too. And just on the other side is Nooks cranny, we've also got this as like a central little mail area which is super cute. Look at all the matching mailboxes, a little Market Hub, a little Central area on the island for everyone to visit. We've also got a hospital here. The Vibes of this island is very nostalgic, they use the in-game stone pathing, so we have footsteps.

#6. Sewing in the Sun

Instead of being stuck at her desk all day, create a tailor studio out front. That way she can sew all day long in the fresh air. It’s a super cute idea, and all you need is a few sewing essentials to complete her dressmaking station. Start by adding a loom, then add a desk and a chair, and of course don’t forget the most vital ingredient… the sewing machine! Finish the area by adding some mannequins with your favourite designs. This is also a really good way to display the custom designs you’re most proud of. And if you need some extra patterns for this, talk to Sable every day. She may seem shy at first, but eventually, she will become your friend and gift you an abundance of really cool designs!

#7. Mall Island - DA-7858-0989-3551

This is a beautiful island, this island is red mushroom themed. What a brilliant Nooks Cranny here, on the cliffs behind it is going to be Able Sisters, the colors here are just so lovely, their red and white theme is so nice. Also the random little custom designs like this flower and the little photos are so cute, they look amazing. Also, the extension Able Sisters here using the shed or the storefront option is super cute. This is a very Whimsical Island, it's giving fairy tale vibes.
