Summer is rolling back around in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, meaning that players who renovated their islands for the winter and spring might be looking to create a more festive summertime environment with summertime island design ideas in the upcoming weeks. Fortunately, there are plenty of unique design opportunities to consider thanks to New Horizons' extensive terraforming features, not to mention the customization provided by DIY recipes and custom styles. Here are a few of the best Animal Crossing: New Horizons island design ideas for summer 2021.
New Horizons has been already celebrated its one-year anniversary, meaning that this will actually be the second summer since the game's launch. However, back in 2020 many players might not have had access to all the features that they do currently. Those who were still getting started may have been unable to terraform entirely, or could have been lacking in terms of collecting DIY recipes. Given that it's been a year since then, it's likely that more players will have a broader range of options available to them now.
Other players have begun restarting their New Horizons islands recently, taking the time to more properly plan out their town's design in advance now that they know the basics of how the game works. As some of these summer designs take up a significant amount of space, it's probably best to have some unused areas if players are looking to majorly renovate their island this year. A couple others, though, can be made to be much smaller for those who just want a tiny summer-themed area in their Animal Crossing town.
When it comes to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, café designs are among the more popular, as players can create custom stands and signs to help communicate the theme of their area. The addition of soft-serve lamps and frozen-treat sets, which can even be customized into different flavors of ice cream as seen in Cocoland-ACNH's design on Reddit, can easily be added to turn a café area into a popsicle shop for 2021's hot summer months.
One of New Horizons' terraforming features introduces paths, which players can use to fill their island with roads, sidewalks, or even custom designs such as overgrown or clover-filled grassy areas. It's also possible to create paths designed like ponds for Animal Crossing frog friends, though, meaning that creative players can create the illusion of additional rivers running through the town - rivers that could have furniture like pool floats placed on them to sell the illusion. ReneeLeilani and arendelle_acnh on Reddit both showcase some great examples of how lazy rives can improve any island's landscape.
In a similar vein, pathways can be used to create fake swimming pools that can then be filled with flotation devices or decorated with beach chairs and coolers. Players can even lie down on these pools, as shown by KingTriforce64 on Reddit. Given that actual swimming pools in New Horizons can't be used, unless Animal Crossing players exploit a glitch to sit in them, it's a creative workaround to make summer 2021 feel more immersive in Animal Crossing.
Another small area that can be added to the game is a fishing hole. Players could even build this onto the pier of their island if they lack space elsewhere. Nets, fishing poles, coolers, and even fish tanks can be set up to create a designated area for visitors to stop by and spend some time fishing this summer. For those looking for inspiration, WildRainTV on YouTube posted a great speed build of their island's fishing locale. Given the relative lull in new Animal Crossing: New Horizons content recently, summer 2021 is the perfect opportunity to focus on redecorating and renovating the island while waiting for additional updates.
