If you've ever seen any of my HKIA cabin designs, you know that I love creating cute and pastel-colored cabins for my friends on Friendship Island. Decorating cabins for Koroppi's siblings and friends wasn't too difficult because their personalities and preferences are pretty clear, but when Ganta moved to my island, I had a surprisingly hard time coming up with a design that would suit him. Because of that, his cabin ended up sitting depressingly empty for quite a while.
The only things I really knew about Ganta were that, according to his description in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, "He is tough and strong and careful about disguising his fears," and that he likes items with the Rocky tag, which mostly consists of items from Gemstone Mountain. I usually like to base my cabin designs around what each character likes, but I already have a couple of cabins with a Gemstone Mountain theme, so I really didn't want to take that route for Ganta.
That finally changed when the Sunshine Celebration event came around about a month ago. The event introduced a whole collection of new camping-themed furniture, and Koroppi and all of his friends also received matching camping outfits. The moment I saw them all dressed up for camping, I immediately knew that Ganta had to have a camping-themed cabin! I'd already given Koroppi's other friends nature-inspired cabins, and I thought that a more outdoorsy camping aesthetic would suit Ganta perfectly.
I went all out with the Camp items from the new Sunshine Celebration furniture collection. To incorporate some of Ganta's love for Rocky-tagged items, I also added a few Rustic Standing Lamps, along with some Springtime Bushes and a Springtime Pond from the Springtime Celebration event, both to meet some of his cabin requirements and to add to the feeling of being outdoors in nature.
To make the cabin feel even more like Ganta is actually camping outdoors, I also scattered a whole bunch of critters throughout the cabin. I love how they make the space feel a little more lively and give it that extra outdoorsy touch.
Overall, this isn't quite the type of cabin design I usually go for, but I'm really happy with how Ganta's cabin turned out. I'm especially glad that he isn't left out anymore and finally has a fully decorated cabin of his own, just like the rest of his friends.
