Minecraft builders are always improving their skills by regularly creating structures with new designs and ideas incorporated into them. This fact rings true regardless of whether a player is implementing a philosophy to the exterior of a build or its interior. To that end, the title's community of builders has come up with a veritable goldmine of different interior designs for a wide array of creations.

For newer Minecraft builders, it can be a bit difficult to create an interior design that really resonates, particularly due to the many build tricks that tend to get implemented as part of the process. Fortunately, the community has shared a ton of interior designs that are perfect to recreate or take inspiration from.

If Minecraft players are searching for new interior design ideas for their future builds, there are multiple examples that immediately come to mind.

Minecraft interior designs worth recreating or using for inspiration

1) Modern Bathroom

Modern Minecraft builds are a huge hit in the community. They come in many different shapes and sizes. However, the modern aesthetic doesn't stop at a build's exterior. This design utilizes white and grey color palettes and the use of various stone and quartz/concrete blocks to create a bathroom appearance that matches the traditional white/grey modern exterior.

What really makes this design pop is the dead coral fans in the center and the end lights, which fit the white and grey appearance perfectly, creating a sterile (but still warm) aesthetic.


2) French Log Cabin

Although interior design leans heavily on block choice and placement in Minecraft, Se1fD3struct1ion shows in this creation that a texture/resource pack and shader choice can also be influential, particularly when taking screenshots. Regardless, this log cabin build shows that wood and stone-based designs still have plenty of utility.

With the right variation of block choices and some plant life thrown in for good measure, this cabin hearth looks incredibly inviting, while its texture pack brings a little realism into the fold.


3) Entertainment Center

Not every interior design necessarily has to be centered on a house or base in Minecraft. On the contrary, builds like this design by TheVoyager35 are perfect for community meeting spots, such as an entertainment center in a bustling town or city. Combining plenty of warm tones as well as a few custom block textures, it's hard not to view this design and want to kick one's feet up and relax.

The combination of multiple wood plank and brick types makes for an undoubtedly urban vibe, but one that's still welcoming from top to bottom.


4) Spaceship 23

Created as part of a large spaceship build by the Planet Minecraft user Foxy, the interior of this impressive vessel would be perfect for many different science fiction builds. Throw in a few space-oriented mods, and players can create a very impressive interior that would be found in a faraway future.

Much like modern design philosophies, this build operates heavily on the contrast between light and dark blocks to create the feeling of an artificial spaceship interior.


5) Blacksmith Style

It's no secret that the blacksmith shops that generate within Minecraft's villages aren't exactly eye-popping. If players decide to make a blacksmith workshop of their own, either for themselves or for villagers, this design is a massive step up, complete with a smoldering forge, a stone cutter, and a few water sources.

The combination of stone bricks in varying states of breakage with iron chains cuts an undeniable figure. Once players enter this room, the design makes its function clear from the very beginning.


6) Throne Room

Medieval Minecraft builds come in many different forms, from humble cottages to towering castles. However, what's a castle without a place of honor to seat its owner? A good castle should have a proper throne room, which is exactly what BlueNerd captured masterfully with this design.

Utilizing golden armor on stands, spruce wood and barrels, and the warmth of red carpet blocks, this throne room makes for an imposing location. It could be the site of a humble monarch or one that rules with an iron fist, whatever players prefer.


7) Factory Interior

Industrial builds can be tough to balance out in Minecraft, as one poor block choice in their color palettes can throw off the entire look. Fortunately, players like Creeperassasin1212 have clearly nailed the aesthetic by combining the likes of acacia wood, blackstone, deepslate, and standard clay bricks.

With these blocks combined, Minecraft players can create the spitting image of a 20th-century factory with ease. Adding glass and ice blocks to the ceiling is also an excellent touch.


8) Ultimate Storage

Combining oak and spruce planks, plenty of plant life, and even an axolotl aquarium, this storage room design by BlueNerd is tough to beat. It utilizes multiple hallways with walls full of barrels for both their visual appeal and storage capacity. Plus, barrels don't require any additional space above them to open them in the way that chests do.

Although the barrels and hallways are well-lit and delightfully arranged, the central axolotl aquarium is the real eye-catcher in this design. It's a nice fixture for players to just stop and gaze at during their downtime.


9) Pub Interior

Sometimes, when building a town or village, players need a solid design for a bar, pub, or tavern. Masterfully constructed via barrels and a litany of wooden blocks, the item frames present in this build to show food and drink items are what really bring everything together.

Trapdoor placement is arguably the best aspect of this design, using the blocks and the debug stick to create a fantastic functional combo for surfaces and other nicknacks in the pub's design.


10) Mangrove Interior

Mangrove wood doesn't always get its day in the sun now that the 1.19 update is in the rearview. Be that as it may, the red-hued wood variant has plenty of fantastic applications, and this interior design is simply one example. By combining mangrove wood with spruce trapdoors, lanterns, and a few stone slabs, players can create a fantastic and colorful design palette.

This design philosophy may be a bit too high-contrast for some builds, but if players like bold colors, mangrove wood should at least be considered in their designs.
