Everyone has different aptitudes for building inMinecraft, but one aspect leaves most of us stumped: once you’ve built your base, house, evil necromancer tower, or whatever else, what do you put inside of it? Thankfully, there are plenty of ideas that can help guide you.

If you’re tired of building a structure just to put the same bed, crafting table, furnace, anvil, and storage blocks in the same room, you’re in the right place. After combing through all these interior design ideas, you’ll be able to spruce up any room you set your sights on.

A private library, with a moss carpet, amethyst subchamber, and potted plants.

8High Fantasy Private Library

Even if you don’t enjoy reading for fun, a small, private library is always a nice option for filling any space with interesting stuff to look at. To take it a step further, though, you can use Amethyst crystals, Shroomlights, mossy carpet, and blue lanterns to give it a fantasy vibe.

A red, gray, and black stone brick armor stand room with netherite, gold, and chainmail armors.

7Circular Armor Stand Room

As you progress through the game, it’s natural to ditch old, less useful gear, tools, or weapons once you get some upgrades—sorry, wooden pickaxe. However, with your very own armor stand room, though, you’ll have more reason to keep old armor sets.

Using gold blocks, Shroomlights, blue lanterns, and red concrete as accents, alongside darker blocks for walls and flooring, like dark gray concrete and Blackstone bricks, you can make a dark but opulent armor stand room for yourself. You’re not evil, you’re just in it for the aesthetic, right?

If you want to put yourself in the shoes of a passionate, fledgling botanist who’s inspired and eager to explore, record, and document every plant on the planet, you need to get acquainted with item frames, bamboo, mossy carpet, clay pots, and of course, plants.

Well, it doesn’t have to be that serious, but any room filled with a bunch of plants makes any room feel alive, especially in a blocky game like Minecraft, since flowers, cacti, mushrooms, and other organic life look so unique.

A cozy bedroom with a large, green bed, dark gray carpet, some bookshelves, green tinted windows, and lanterns.

5Dynamic, Carpeted Bedroom With Depth

Instead of using a single, red and white bed that’s awkwardly placed in a small room, why not try and give yourself the bedroom that you deserve? C’mon, go for a “king size” bed made of three normal beds, and throw some lanterns, windows, carpet, and bookshelves in there too.

Really imagine what your ideal bedroom would look like, and translate that vision into in-game blocks and items. If you want some guidelines, playing with depth, patterns, and thinner blocks, like slabs, staircases, and trapdoors, goes a long way.

Any seasoned miner and caver deserves a grand forge room for all their resource-gathering efforts. If you have blast furnaces, brick blocks, slabs, staircases, buckets of lava, and glass, you’re already halfway there to an awesome room with an industrious aesthetic.

There’s no “right” way to make a forge; do what feels best to you, regardless of design, size, or any other metric. Speaking of forges, furnaces, and other fuel-consuming things, you might want tocheck out the best items to burnin case you’re running low on coal.

3Amethyst Lounge

If you like the idea of a lounge with a color palette that is mostly monochromatic purple, then the aptly named “amethyst lounge” is the perfect project for you to get started on, especially if you’ve been busy collecting blocks from End Cities, or mining Amethyst veins.

If you want to take your windows up a Notch, verify to add walls that are three blocks thick so that you can have two window panes with amethyst crystals growing in between them; it makes them infinitely more interesting to look at.

Minecraft lets you add plenty of the modern amenities you see every day in real-life kitchens into your game, whether it’s:

The point is, you can get incredibly creative with this kind of room, but to make it even more interesting, why not add an aquarium behind one of the windows? Sure, it’s a bit of a pain sourcing all the local marine life, but it’s well worth it in the end.

There are plenty of awesome items and blocks you can find or craft in the Nether. Combined with a few End-related items, like Ender Chests, and things that’d generally be categorized under the “dark academia” aesthetic, like chiseled bookshelves and chains, you can make an awesome Nether portal room.

you’re able to use normal bookshelves as well for added variety, but generally, most of the blocks you use should be some shade of red or black, colors that tend to complement the Nether aesthetic well and contrast nicely.
