Animal Crossing New Horizons allows players to build a number of houses for a number of villagers that visit your island. This actually makes your island look like a little crowded dot instead rather than a paradise. This has left many players wondering if there is a way to expand the size of their islands to be able to make more space and fit things a lot better.
Unfortunately, the game does not allow you to expand the size, although you can still transform the island to your liking if you manage to unlock the terraforming skill.

Have K.K Slider to play a show on your island
The Island Designer app and terraforming ability will only come to you after getting K.K. Slider to hold a concert on your island. To do that, you will need to build the Museum and Nook's Cranny shop. You will also need to increase the population on your island by getting more villagers to reside on your resort. In addition, you also need to raise your island’s star rating to a minimum of three stars out of five. You can do this by decorating your island.
