Let’s face it: with all the flowers, whimsical items, and pretty objects, New Horizons is really well suited to fairycore.
A lot of these builds focus more on outdoor designs, which makes sense. The fae are better known to frolic around outside than live behind closed doors.
So whether your vibe is dryad, pixie, or brownie, this list will definitely offer some inspo to get started on a fairy build of your own!
This gorgeous outdoor space is filled with trees, pretty flowers, and really elaborate terraforming.
And those waterfalls are awesome.
Tall mushrooms and large star fragments lend a very whimsical vibe to this island’s walkway. Plus the creative uses of the cliff builder and stairs lend some really interesting levels.
There’s definitely fae lurking, so be sure to not eat the food!
Situated beneath a cherry tree, this adorable woodland book stash is surrounded by colorful mums and daisies.
Can’t wait to get home to read your new book? No problem, there’s a stool handy to just take a seat and get reading. Also, peep the gnome (a commonly-accepted type of fae) in the background. Nice detail.
And of course, no fairy build would be complete without a giant mushroom.
With bright colors from a rainbow of flowers, a variety of giant mushrooms, and a rope bridge, this nature trail is sure to get your villagers moving and grooving around your island.
A small stream bubbles around the trail system, which is mapped out with a custom path.
That cupcake looks super sus, though. I say don’t eat it, or you might never be able to return home! (Which based on the build is fine by us, TBH)
While generally it isn’t recommended to eat fairy food or drink (myths say it’s a way of ensuring you’ll never leave the fairy realm), we’ll make an exception for this cute pastel-y tea setup.
Bring on the cursed fairy snacks, please!
Dolls, gnomes, and teddy bears are gathered for the party here. Which boasts tea, coffee, and cakes.
In true fairy finders-keepers fashion, instead of matching chairs, guests can be seated at the pretty table on toadstools, or a mismatched group of comfy-looking stools.
And no party is complete without music, so a pink gramophone fills that role. A sweet spot for a darling Easter brunch!
Rocks pop up in the most annoying spots sometimes.
Given that they respawn randomly, and with total disregard for our carefully planted flower beds (or is that just me?), getting a stone circle like this is either from super careful efforts, or just sheer dumb luck.
Either way, this whimsical build has a stone statue surrounded by a ring of rocks and flowers in the middle of a pine forest. And it looks awesome.
Giant thin mushrooms lend a warm glow even at night, making this the coolest spot to come for a walk, or just to take some pictures!
No trolls live under this gorgeous bridge, I can tell you that.
Fairy lights, giant mushroom lamps, and bright stars light up this spot when the sun goes down.
And the pink flowers and trees give some real whimsy to the area, which is the stuff of fairytales.
Blue butterflies swarm the foreground due to all of the flowers, which are super pretty on their own. This is a true tourist attraction for island visitors. Hope they bring a camera!
We’re definitely getting some fairycore vibes from this adorable outdoor movie theater, which doubles as a picnic area!
A comfy looking off-white blanket is spread out in front of a giant screen, and a ukulele and harp are readily available if the music mood strikes you.
Plenty of sparkly things, like glowing mushrooms and star fragments, help give the space a cool magical feeling too.
This beautiful home exterior is both whimsical and subtle.
It’s sweet, with just the right amount of flowers and magical looking objects, so as to be more low-key and not overwhelming.
We love the moon seat on a mini island all of its own!
And check out the duck on the right taking a break from swimming.
Stacks of books and a swinging bench also make this a great spot to do some reading. Definitely a more “magical” theme for a yard, but certainly one of the cooler yard ideas you could build.
A path going through a group of waterfalls is already a great start. But adding moon-shaped pavers and gorgeous flowers?
Instant fairycore.
Mushrooms seem to be a crowd favorite with fairycore builds, as this one has some big mushroom themes as well. Just be careful that no mischievous fairies send you into that river for a laugh!
