I love the rectangle looks, definitely enough depth and variation 😀

Random shapes!! Build random shapes on the rectangle, no symmetry, as the outline then fill it in with design and decoration. I started doing this and really spiced up my builds. Creating a more full and ancient aesthetic. Highly recommend trying it out.

If you wanna improve your builds a bit there are a few things you want to keep in mind:
* Purpose! When making a room think about who would be using it and why, and add things on that theme that makes sense.
* Variation! Don’t use the same material for everything, mix it up a bit to give some texture to your build.
* Shapes! Don’t just copypaste the same basic box repeatedly, experiment with shapes and sizes.
* Colour! Use paint, paintings and decorations to bring some life to your builds.

As a kinda somewhat half decent builder myself, just a random selection of stuff:
– Build out of more than one block. Mix in some stone slab in the foundation, maybe some grey brick on the walls, stucco roof, whatever. Try out some combos, you should find some styles and palettes you like (grey brick and boreal wood is a favourite “basic” combo of mine).
– Never underestimate the power of two block thick floors. Lets you give one room a ceiling block and the room above it a different floor block.
– Try to make things less boxy. Even just stacking differently sized rectangles in weird ways next to each other can be cool.
– Honestly, just go to a sawmill and make some random bits and pieces of the “weird” furniture items to put places. Dressers, beds, bookshelves, barrels, bottles… there’s a lot of random little stuff you can use to spice up your rooms.
