I definitely would! As someone who absolutely loved HHD and interior design, I'm also curious to see the interior designs of the houses c: Though I might suggest that you put a path outdoors in order to direct people easily to your houses! You don't have to do any major terraforming, you can definitely still keep your forest look without putting much thought into outdoor decoration. I saw someone suggest you doing a simple house showcase like the one in New Leaf, so you can just line up your houses neatly. ^^
At the end of the day, the island and game is yours, so play and decorate however you want! <3
