You what you can pick up a lot of good tips the links for these house plans and the house plan sites are in the description have a look at this house first start it is really really fancy it’s an amazing front entrance right here really wide

Actually at the front and it’s got some good views as well i mean people coming from this kind of direction will be able to have a look and see the dining room that’s gonna be really really fancy to the spot and then anyone coming out the

Garage here as well is going to be having a look at the veranda as well it’s going to be really good now this is where you want people to come right in here into the house and i tell you what it’s going to look fantastic you’ve got

The staircase fancy dining room and then a really formal living room here very organized very beautiful big fireplace this is exactly the kind of impact you want this is going to make a big splash right in people’s face yeah um uh garage garage guys you need a good

Garage um this is where you put your car you might unpack it bring some things in here you want a utility room often next to your garage or even a little toilet as well this is where you can deal with anything heavy wet muddy in utility room maybe like a a

Dead body or some uh have a kitchen uh and uh like a family room this is really good uh modern open plan living room you could be in the in the family room you could be talking to the person um who’s who’s in the kitchen and uh just have some good dialogue

Going good good banter you’d be like hey turn that turn that music down i’m trying to cook in here and you’d be like hey you’re uh what are you anyway like a chick with a okay yeah moving on to another plan you can see some other really cool features

Uh once again there’s a really nice main entrance here and people might be focusing uh kind of on this dining room here you can put your your fancy china your best table down as well and again people might be seeing some books in in the study as well so they could be

Coming in here and having a look at that so this is a really really nice house plan and of course you can see the stairs here this is going to give you access to absolutely everywhere in the house it’s brilliant again family room connected to the the kitchen here again that’s a

Really excellent place to have it and very very fancy would be the morning room or breakfast room off the veranda um the grand room again this is something you you can see you know right right down the middle of the house here and um it’s a really nice

Room but you’ve got like a less formal family room as well it’s really really cool features in this house an office and a really fancy master suite as well so i think that’s a bit better have i drawn it again okay these plans have got some really

Nice features which you might want to incorporate into your houses look at these bedrooms they have their own bathrooms each one has got their own bathroom this person can come in here and this person’s got this little bathroom in there in that fantastic to have such luxury this is something else

You might want to consider in your house it’s like a granny flats what you call granny fat in the uk not a granny fat you could have a fat granny maybe if you had a big fat granny you might want to make the door a bit bigger but anyway

This is a separate little uh area for staff or for um an older person coming to live with you be they fat or orphan um this is something as well which if i go back to the last plans which you can see here this was open to

Above let me go back to there so what you can see uh down here if i get rid of that one you can see if you’re on the stairs you can actually see right into this this area here um no problem and you could be looking in any

Of these directions if i so just before moving on from this particular house plant you can see right here we’ve got some very clever little indents into the building at the side and that is actually very very clever indeed if i bring in this picture here um these

Little indents are actually here and here on this picture this is the basement now if you’re doing a basement what sort of things you want in the basement well you want light for start so these little clever indents have like light into this area here and i think there might

Be some windows down here as well but these are the areas under the garage and they’re going to get no light that’s that’s just going to be storage golf cart storage doesn’t need any light things like wine rooms and exercise rooms again they don’t need windows but guest rooms and billiard rooms they

Could do probably with some windows so you can see that this is the house this is the back of the house and if i just take off that just now um let me put it back in if i can show you this level here that is the level

For the front of the house so this is the area underneath and these three rooms are the media room it’s like a little detective story that’s what i like about it there so there’s the media room here and this is the back of the house here and it’s a really clever design to

Let light in to your basements um i see some people design houses in minecraft and some of these rooms in here are are just too too dark but um it’s really really cool features in this this house plan i would like to build this actually you’ve got

Some really really cool views from this little veranda uh as oh god next tip is to raise your builds off the ground especially if you’re building on a flat land you can see this particular house has been raised up two blocks off the ground and it allows for some amazing landscaping changes in

Elevation and makes your builds look so much better more anchored into the ground and just having that extra two blocks and just being able to landscape at different heights makes builds look so so much better so you can see little yoda fleeing around here putting in some um

Logs pressure plates and some uh path blocks experimented with and then i went with some stone and the site and some buttons just to make a good looking uh shape and it turns out oh god okay next tip is to think about the thickness of your walls if you have walls made of

Something which is quite a nice material on the inside and outside then single thickness walls are fine and they look good inside and outside of your house but if you use something else a bit more like well brick for example then on the inside it doesn’t look that good so what

I’ve done is actually put on an extra who’s put these banners they’ve been trolled um i’ve put i’m losing the plot here i’ve put a second layer of wall it does make the walls quite thick but it actually looks quite good in minecraft as well and then

You could put some curtains up there uh unless they were the ones that you just saw but yeah anyway double thickness walls look pretty cool they’re quite popular these days single thickness if you’ve chosen your brick wisely okay this next tip is a really sneaky one if you’re building in a city and

They’re offering you plots try and snap up all the south facing plots this house is facing east and the sun isn’t on it it’s a basic tip but it makes your builds look so much better this one here is facing south and it looks 10 times better if you’re doing a one-off build

Like the necromancer did right here then you may as well face it south it looks a lot better with the sun shining on it see we’re facing north and look uh oh god okay the next tip does involve more planning right at the start of the build

Your roof peaks if you want them to peak like this and match up like that then you need to make sure they are an even number from the bottom so have a look at these walls here that are sticking out we can count the blocks one two three four five six seven eight

Nine ten this peak will be on an even number as well and so will this one just to prove it will come out here one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen seven eighteen long ball results in a roof peak like that

Now my suggestion my tip is to make sure all your roof peaks are the same on your build don’t mix and match if you do what i’ve done over here i’ve put an odd number you get this shape here which is fine it’s a fine looking roof you need to

Put on some half slabs on top i think that looks good as well but you don’t want to have a mixture of them on your build i think it’s all better if they’re all the same well actually i think they got away with that there’s nothing creepy um oh god

Okay and the last tip would be don’t be afraid to place trees really close to your building you might think this is a little crazy and this one’s actually just touching the build but it just looks so much better it’s what would happen to an established build one

That’s been here for a long time look at this these trees are really really close to the build and it just adds a lot of impact it looks so much better it creates a bit of history and drama in the house so we’re going to place uh one

More tree probably uh nice and close um let me see where could it go maybe right here would be good let me see what the hey i hope you liked this video if you did be sure to give it a good thumbs up and i tell you what if you
