It easier than you think to build a house you can admire. Step 1, If you want build your house out of wood planks (recommended) no windows or anything, just walls. Step 2, Replace the outside corners of your house with wood, not wood planks just wood. A difference in color can bring help the house. Step 3, add windows not a 1 high window that goes 2 blocks out, you need something more interesting, you can have one going from the top of your wall to the bottom or others. Step 4, Roofing is a VERY important part of your house. Tell me once when you've seen a house with a flat roof NEVER (as usual minecraft houses). Step 5, (optional), Around the exterior of your house put decoration such as; a garden, a tree. fencing ect. Step 6, Interior is important as well. You could put; a fireplace, a room you would see in a average home, flowerpots ect.
