Hello! You may have heard about my Sailor Moon themed island from around the forums before. I am quite proud of my island, but there is one embarrassing obvious problem with it. My houses are basically empty , so I'm hoping to finally put in some effort to change that. I have five different houses for each of the main five characters from Sailor Moon (so in other words 30 different rooms to decorate). I have several ideas for a majority of the rooms, but I'm always open to more suggestions and ideas, even if you aren't familiar with Sailor Moon. My dream address is 1017-6659-5710 which I will try to update throughout the process of decorating my houses.

I lack a lot of the furniture needed to furnish all these rooms so while not required I'd greatly appreciate any and all donations. You can find my wish list here (currently a work in progress).

Each house will have 4 standard rooms being a kitchen, bathroom, lounge and bedroom. The other two rooms will vary depending on the character.
Below you will find my ideas/breakdown for each character's house so far:

Usagi (aka Sailor Moon)

Klutzy crybaby who loves playing video games at the arcade and reading manga
General Room Colours & Themes: Pink & White, Cute

Main Room: Wedding Chapel - Complete
Basement: Arcade - Complete
Standard Rooms: Star Fragment Items

Ami (aka Sailor Mercury)

Shy girl genius, loves studying and playing chess
General Room Colours & Themes: Light Blue & Dark Blue, Water

Main Room: Library/Study
Basement: Science Lab
Standard Rooms: Mermaid Set

Rei (aka Sailor Mars)

Spiritual priestess, loves fortune telling and meditating
General Room Colours Themes: Red & Purple/Black, Fire, Traditional Japanese

Main Room: Shinto Shrine
Basement: Fortune Telling
Standard Rooms: Imperial Furniture, Cherry Blossom Items

Makoto (aka Sailor Jupiter)

Friendly tough girl, loves baking and flowers.
General Colours & Themes: Green & Pink, Electricity, Plants

Main Room: Bakery
Basement: Greenhouse/Flowers
Standard Rooms: Flower Set

Minako (aka Sailor Venus)

Ditzy scatterbrain, loves sports and dreams of becoming an idol.
General Colours & Themes: Orange & Yellow, Hearts

Main Room: Idol Studio
Basement: Stage
Standard Rooms: Cute Set in Yellow​

honestly all your ideas are already amazing! they fit their characters perfectly.
im really not sure what to add haha just wanted to say im impressed and cant wait how they will turn out to look like! ❤
i would just advise to try to really stick to the color themes, this will make every room really unique!
maybe you could add hints to the outer senshis? or like hints to chibiusa in one of usagis room c:

Bathrooms
I found some bathroom screen shots of the 90s anime. Maybe they'll help you you find a way to decorate these rooms.

Spoiler: 90s anime screenshots

For Usagi's bathroom, if you want to use a celestial motif, maybe you can use a cloud flooring and lots of white and/or pastel furniture. This person combined cherry blossom furniture with zodiac furniture. LINK Another idea would be to turn the bathroom into a spa...however, the lounge area could also be used as a spa.

I also liked this one, but maybe it would suit Makoto's bathroom better.

For Ami's bathroom here are some ideas that I liked.

Spoiler: Ami's bathroom ideas

For Rei's bathroom, I already have a cherry blossom bathroom in my house. Here's how it looks like.

Alternatively, you could also continue with the Japanese aesthetic and decorate the bathroom like one of these:

Spoiler: Rei's bathroom ideas

Makoto's dining area

I like this room already. For this area of Makoto's house, I think that the antique furniture in natural would look lovely here. Especially the wardrobe, console table, mini table, and clock. Add some plants, terrariums, or iron wall lamp to make it more cozy.

Rei's fortune telling area

In the anime, doesn't Rei chant in from of a bonfire in order to get a vision? Maybe you can put a bonfire or hearth in this room.


That's all that I could think of right now, but let me know if people have assisted you with obtaining the items yet. I want to help.

help! i can't decide whether to give ketchup's flower shop to poppy & give ketchup poppy's fruit-juice stand....

i've already built the fruit-juice stand & the flower shop... but now i don't know who to give them to... even though they were originally for poppy *fruit* & ketchup *flower*

Idk what fits more aesthetically, but a poppy is a flower and a tomato is a fruit so... That works out in my mind.

hmmm......

well... i gave poppy the fruit-juice stand & added flowers around it so that it blends in more with poppy.... so the flower shop belongs to ketchup, then..



& i also thought that tomatos were a veg...

& i also thought that tomatos were a veg...

For cooking purposes we use them as a vegetable. No one is eating them like a fruit.

But... yeah they're a fruit and not a vegetable

So I want to move gruff to my island.
I currently have 4 goats on my island and they are all in a row on the second column with tutu under them.

If I moved in gruff, he would replace limberg, moving my list so there was 1 goat at the bottom of the left column, 3 goats at the top of the right column, tutu, and then my 5th goat.

That's not very organised and it would really bug me.

The only way to fix it would be to move out tybalt, Megan, Raymond, cashmere, and tutu, and then move them all straight back in.

I wouldnt want to lose my friendship with them either (or tybalts stuff in his house) so I would have to move them to island 2.

Island 2 already has a Megan and Raymond so I would have to give them away.

Its a lot of effort for an organised map. Too much effort.

But I also don't want my goats to be all over the place

i made this plaza seating area... but i feel like the inside of it needs a different pathing other then the pathing that's outside it...

What about some kind of cobblestone/brick layout centering around the fountain? By the way, it looks nice to me!

i'll be getting the shell fountain diy eventually, which'll be better.. but, oohh :> that might look good :>

it's just too bad you can't sit on the edge of the fountain like you can in real life :<

 

[. Rarity .]

So, you want to basically trade places with the others? Or can you post a map so I can see more?

 

[-Blue-]

You could make some fake qr cushions or put the padded cushion furniture piece near the fountain. It's about as close as you can get.

 

[-Blue-]

I guess you should ask yourself if it's really worth the effort to get Gruff in the desired spot? Like what do you really want more? Gruff in your town with all that added effort/possible frustration, putting him in a spot you didn't really want, or not having Gruff in the town and being content with it,

oohh... that's be nice :> i can't make the qr codes... i'm not that good.. but i'm sure i can find some :>

the padded cushion? you mean the piled zen cushions? or the other cushion? :>

Okay so this is my map as it is right now. I've got my 4 goats on the right.
If I move in gruff...

Because limberg is now gone, everyone shifts up one and Kidd is now on the left instead of the right with the others, and tutu is in the middle of the goats as gruff is now on the bottom of the right side.

The only way to reorganise them would be to get rid of all the non goats and bring them back, so that they are all neatly in a row on the left

 

[. Rarity .]

So you want to basically switch places around? Switch Kidd, into Raymond's spot?

I want all 5 goats together in a row, left side or right side it doesn't matter.

Knowing me I'll decide the map doesn't really matter and get gruff anyways.
2 hours later it will annoy me so much I have to kick everyone out.

So I guess I wanted to be swayed one way or the other before I do it because I was annoyed, instead of actually wanting to

For what it's worth, I didn't want to move out some of my villagers in NL after the WA update happened because I didn't want to lose their friendship points. I just wanted to move the homes a bit more in lines and make spaces look nicer.

It didn't take that long to actually bring their points back up to high friendship again. I wasn't even actively trying. I just chatted with them every time I would play. I just mention that since you posted concerns about that. It's pretty easy to get back to that point.
