Ah, the birds are chirping, there’s that fresh damp smell of growing grass, and the warmth is starting to creep back into the air.
That’s right, spring is here!
Whether you prefer hot or cold weather, this is the perfect season for compromise with its mild temperatures.
That said, there’s no need for compromise when it comes to your island’s design styles. And with these adorable spring season ideas for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you’ll have plenty of new builds to try out.
With nice weather, all I want to do is sit outside, breathe in the smell of all that melting snow, and sip on some strong coffee.
Well this adorable little café could easily give me (er, my AC character) some freshly brewed coffee.
It’s a really great starter idea for players that maybe don’t have access to a lot of DIYs or items yet.
The stall is available for purchase from the Nook Stop, and the rest of the items, such as the iron chairs, tables, desserts, and coffee cups, can be replaced with virtually any other variant.
I mean, you could use wood chairs and tables and teasets, if that’s what you have on hand!
With this idea, the world is your oyster. Or, rather, cafe.
Spring is the best time to get plants started in real life.
So why not add some realism with new sprouts in ACNH?
With a few market stalls and some creative placements, you can add a custom greenhouse to your island. Just in time for the spring weather.
This is a great spot to put small plants, like bonsai trees, mini terrariums, or even flowers, if that suits your fancy.
Basically if you have a small corner of your island that you just don’t know what to do with, consider a greenhouse like this. It won’t take up too much space, and you don’t need any crazy rare items or expensive DIYs.
I absolutely adore this little garden, all set up with an easel and a typewriter.
As someone who does a lot of art and writing, I would adore getting to work in an environment like this.
And I’m sure your villagers will, too!
If you have an old-fashioned island, be it Victorian or just antique, this is a fantastic outdoor idea.
There’s a tall stack of books if you want to just relax, or some comfy looking cushions to take a seat. And there’s plenty more you could do with this space!
Daisies, hyacinths, and mums in yellow and white make up the flowers in this build. But any arrangement of colors would look great. Maybe pink or blue, combined with white?
Speaking of shooting stars, here’s another fantastic spot to watch for them.
Design a space for a campsite on your island, invite your friends, and have a campout outside. Just in time now that the weather’s getting nicer!
With a really beautiful monochromatic blue theme, this is one of those spots that’s sure to wow others.
And how couldn’t it?
Finding items that match style-wise is hard enough in New Horizons, and finding items in the same color? That’s a big task.
But with a DIY bench, no worries about your tools breaking.
A radio and telescope provide some low key outdoor entertainment here. And there’s plenty of comfy spots to lean up against, including a teddy bear and cushions, if you’re more down to sleep under the stars than under the fabric of a tent.
The entrance to your island is the first thing visitors see when they get off the seaplane. And you want it to be stunning!
This gorgeous springtime entrance is both beautiful and practical, as there’s plenty of fruit-bearing trees around.
At 1500 bells a pop, having loads of fruit trees on your island (especially early game) is key to quick growth. So they’re a great thing to sneak into a design wherever you can!
This specific idea is bursting with beautiful spring colors, with the tulips, camellias, and peaches.
A bench with some tables and chairs offer spots to sit if you just want to relax and soak in the nature – if you can find a free seat! I’m guessing your villagers will love this spot, so they might be taken 24/7.
One of the best parts of spring in New Horizons is the cherry blossoms.
After the cold of winter, trees all over the islands bloom into beautiful pink blossoms.
This gorgeous hot springs idea, or onsen, uses cherry blossoms as its main theme.
Piles of the pink petals are scattered around a sunken hot pool, which is located on the rocky beach shores. I personally find the rocky sections to be hard to design, so this is a fantastic fix!
If you’re looking for something to fill up your beach, give this fun idea a try.
Spring is the perfect time for an outdoor tea party.
And with this beautiful setup, you’ll have plenty of time for tea.
With a large square table, a bench, and a stool, you can invite all of your friends – or maybe just your favorite villagers!
Having this table surrounded by flowers encourages pretty butterflies to make an appearance, too. They won’t disturb your snack, but they will make for gorgeous additions to any selfies or group photos!
If you’re re-creating this idea then you could use any flowers you like, but I love the daisies in this build.
Maybe add a few candles for some dreamy mood lighting, and this can be a beautiful spot even at night.
So why not gather your friends on your island, assign one as an officiator, and tie the knot with that special (virtual) someone.
With the help of an arch, ceremony chairs, and some creative terraforming, you can create a tiered aisle so that all of your guests can witness your special moment of “I do”.
For bonus points, plan your spring wedding during cherry blossom season for some naturally romantic nature colors!
