No Wood Boxes: A Building Guide

[Hurmuri]

Great guide! Finally some tips to make my houses look better. Thanks!

 

[Mattix]

Thanks to this amazing guide I have stopped building sheds and started to build palaces and castles.

somehow, when you crowd things into a nicely-shaped house, it looks a lot better for some reason.

Well, that's not really surprising. The more you "junk up" a room, the more that space leaves the impression of being lived in.

Is this good?

My only suggestion is too add a little bit more variety in the walls/floors. The marble blocks are a little bit uniform looking. Otherwise good job!

Not marble, pearlstone brick

Lel, Marble/pearlstone the idea is the same, just a little bit more variety.

I suppose I like the general shape of my house, but it's kind boring when it comes to material. What are your suggestions and what do you think about it?

I'd suggest having "wooden beams" in your walls every few blocks. Ebonwood wall painted brown would be the best way to do it imo.

How's this?

Not bad for something simple, a great way to start off. I'd suggest walling in the "courtyard" in the lower center with glass walls to prevent spawning there. Also using different materials as you gather them to touch up rooms and make them look fancier such as using Planked Walls in some places or getting a different type of wood for support beams.

To be honest, I don't see a nead to improve it, they look beautiful.

Compare it to other builds
There can be improvement I am just not sure how

I'd say put some paintings and banners here and there. There's also the option of putting mugs and stuff on the bar and bar tables along with using platforms as shelves for all sorts of things.

Sooo, no wooden boxes, right?

I take it more seriously and made this build for my expert ranger playthrough.
Its a first time I used painting a lot and this "thing" is actually housing for up to 21 NPCs.

Thoughts?
