After hundreds of hours spent in Stardew Valley, we found 15 of the best farm layouts in Stardew Valley which should come in handy if you're trying to make something both aesthetic and functional. It doesn't matter if you want to focus on flower growing, animal products or just the regular crops, we have a little bit of everything for everyone! For those of you that are fans of the genre, here are the most interesting Android farming games, and of course, farming games on iOS.

Pick a farm layout based on the type of farm you start on

As you well know, there are 7 types of farms currently available in Stardew Valley:

• Standard Farm
• Riverland Farm
• Forest Farm
• Hilltop Farm
• Wilderness Farm
• Four Corners Farm
• Beach Farm

Each one has its own pros and cons - some provide better resources, while others... let you chill at the beach! Regardless of which one you go for, designing its layout should be something you do from the very beginning of each season (when the crops change) or from the very start of the game.

• Interested in mobile games like Stardew Valley?

There is really no good or bad design since at the end of the day anything and everything can be changed and adjusted. We do have a few recommendations though, which will definitely make your life easier (at least, that's what we noticed from our several hundreds of hours of gameplay).

Try to keep a storage area where you have multiple chests divided into categories

Even if it's going to cost you some wood, you should have one chest dedicated to each craft and storage - one for fish, one for forageable items, one for high-quality crops - you get the idea. You can do that and select a matching colour for each chest to differentiate it from the others, or simply place a Wood Sign with an item representing whatever that chest holds.

Use seasonal flowers for decor!

Each season, just like crops, flowers can change too. Try planting them at the beginning of the season and use them for decoration to give your farm even more personality. Oh, and don't forget to water them too.

Pathways don't only look good - they are also functional

Each path will increase your speed when you walk on it, so don't forget to use them when designing your farm. They look good and make you faster, so they're worth spending your resources on.

Use ambient lights - Braziers, Torches, Lamp Posts

These lights are extremely important, especially during the night, so make sure to place them in key locations.

So without further ado, let's check out all the unique farm layouts we've prepared for you!
