This particular idea makes use of the typical accessories you’ll see in most diner setups.
You’ll need diner chairs, sofas, dining tables, stools, counter tables, and mini tables, all in a beautiful pink color.
What sets this idea apart is the utilization of various desserts that are displayed on the tables and counters.
While you’ll need to wait until your birthday to obtain the birthday cakes and cupcakes, it’s worth the wait to have so much sugary goodness at your disposal.
On the other hand, the various colors of candy machines can be bought at you leisure.
This isn’t the most exciting diner variation. But having a specialty in desserts is enough to give it some charm.
What I find most interesting about this idea is that these are two separate locations that, when put together, make a really fun hangout spot for your island.
The diner area itself is comprised of your typical diner furniture items.
But just cross the street and you’re ready for the post-dinner movie!
The key items you’ll want to here are popcorn machines, because you can’t not have popcorn at the movies.
The other key item is the many throwback race car beds pointed at the screen, acting like the many movie-goers seated in their cars.
And the last part is where you’re able to be more creative. After obtaining three or four simple panels, line them up and customize them to display that night’s feature film.
Not every diner location needs to be focused on eating.
You can still utilize some of the same furniture, such as the diner neon sign and diner counter table, to create a cool underground arcade.
To create the starlight aspect of this arcade, you’ll need to obtain the DIY recipes for the starry-sky wall and galaxy flooring from Celeste.
This may take a while to obtain these items from her, so be patient, and be sure to catch plenty of shooting stars.
You’ll need star fragments to craft other cool nighttime projects like the starry garland as well.
Most importantly, you’ll need purchase plenty of pinball and arcade machines for the whole island to enjoy. These items can be costly, so save up those bells!
In case you can’t tell, the theme of this diner is cats.
As per usual, the typical diner furniture is present, but this time in a cool teal color.
As for the cat décor, the lucky cat statue can be obtained from Gulliver after you wake him up while washed up on your island’s shores.
You can also buy the giant cat tower from Nook’s Cranny.
The small detail that sells me on this design is that this creator was able to obtain the picture from Lolly, a cat villager, and displays it proudly on the wall.
It’s also worth noting the villager is wearing a cat suit to visit the café. That’s just purr-fect!
In mentioning diners that specialize in different types of food, here’s an elegant Japanese restaurant that has a unique variety of decorations.
The furniture here comes from the imperial set, featuring imperial tables, chairs, and partitions.
Handcarts are placed beside each table with steamer baskets sets on top, which require the seasonal spring bamboo to craft.
Lastly, there’s a koi in a tank in the corner behind the counter.
While this is not mandatory to create this scene, it definitely adds a nice touch with a Japanese aesthetic if you don’t mind going through the effort of catching a koi.
Fast food might not be the healthiest option for any meal.
But fast food diners sure make for an aesthetically pleasing place to eat.
In this design you’ll find typical diner sofas, tables, and counters, all in red to match the desired restaurant’s color scheme.
The red two-toned tile wall also helps to contribute to the fast food feel.
Where your creativity is able to shine comes in the fast food restaurant you wish to emulate.
This creator decided on KFC, which led to the red and white color scheme.
However, there are alternatives that can still work with these decorations. For example, they’re all available in blue if you wish take make a Burger King sign.
If you made sure to collect a ton of mushrooms around your island in November, then you’re in luck.
This magical mushroom eatery is available at your disposal to create.
Use your mushrooms to craft the mushroom tables and stools, and then customize them to be the bright red you see here.
You can also craft mush lamps and parasols to add décor, and maybe even illuminate the scene at nighttime.
While there’s only one garden gnome picture on the diner counter, you can purchase as many as you like to give your mushroom diner some permanent patrons.
Including another popular type of cuisine, we have this stunning seafood restaurant decked out with tons of seaside decorations.
The fishing-boat flags come in four different variations as picture, which you’ll need to collect and hang proudly on the walls.
You’ll also need to obtain the ocean wallpaper and ship deck flooring from Sahara when she visits your island, so be sure to pay her a visit.
Lastly, some decorations you’ll need to craft include the barrel, palm tree lamp, and seashell rug. These are all pretty simple to craft set your restaurant sailing!
Creating this basement bar honestly requires just about a little of everything from all the previous ideas.
There’s diner stools in black, as well as various food items such as a candy machine, espresso maker, and blender.
Other decorations include arcade machines, pool tables, jukeboxes, and electric guitars, all of which can be bought or found in balloon presents.
The part that most catches the eye here is the multitude of wall decorations.
Some of my favorites are the world map, mom’s painting, and the tapestry. However, you can use just about anything you want to decorate the walls as you wish!
I don’t know what caused someone to think honeycombs would make for a good diner…
But it sure does look breathtaking.
All our typical diner counters and box sofas are present in a bright yellow to match the décor.
As for the walls and floors, you’ll need wasp nests to craft the honeycomb set.
You’d better get out there and shake down some trees, and probably bring some medicine with you in case you get stung.
The band display consisting of the drum set, rock guitar, and microphone is also a nice touch, especially when you can find them all in yellow.
Lastly, the soft serve lamps can be bought at Nook’s Cranny in a wonderful yellow that makes your honeycomb hot spot the number one hangout on the island!
