Interior Design Ideas

Stairs make chairs, trapdoors make everything else.

Quick answer
  • Stairs make chairs and sofas. Trapdoors make arm rests, cupboards and shelves.
  • Use a fence with a carpet or pressure plate on top for a table.
  • Light rooms with hanging lanterns instead of torches.

Empty rooms feel unfinished. These quick builds fill them without any mods.

Trapdoor tricks

  • Open trapdoors on walls look like cupboard doors.
  • Trapdoors on the floor make rugs and floor details.
  • Trapdoors around a bed make a bed frame.

Lighting

Hang lanterns from chains on the ceiling, hide glowstone under carpet, or use candles on tables. Warm light makes rooms feel cosy.

Leave spaceDon't fill every block. A bit of empty floor makes a room look bigger.

Cheat sheet
