Top 10 Minecraft Room Ideas
When it comes to a solid base build in Mojang's sandbox game, striking a balance between making your interior rooms function well and look good at the same time can be daunting at the best of times. This feeling is multiplied tenfold if you're not sure how to use the different in-game blocks to make real-life furniture items. As the game only has a few specific furnishings to offer, you'll have to get creative most of the time. That's where our handy rundown on the top 10 Minecraft room ideas can help you, as it offers inspiration for all types of interior design.
BlenDigi's Modern Bedroom
Our first pick is one of the cleanest-looking Minecraft bedroom builds we've seen yet. BlenDigi's clever use of blocks results in a stunning white space perfect for any modern-style home. You'd never think that white concrete blocks, wool, and quartz could blend together to create such a cozy bedroom space, but this build proves that they certainly can. For players hoping to make their dream real-world mansion or something right out of a furniture catalog, a modern bedroom like this could serve as great inspiration.
BlenDigi's build is especially creative as it makes use of various items to simulate real furnishings. Banners become curtains, end rods become lamps, dead tube coral fans become fluffy carpets, and so on. You may want to play around with this room build in creative mode to get the hang of it, but it definitely would fit nicely within the confines of a blocky survival mode world. Just be sure to stock up on all the white blocks and white dye you possibly can as you'll need them for this pristine bedroom.
MCram's Modern Bathroom
This next build would work perfectly to complement the previous modern bedroom as its ensuite bathroom or another room within the same house. MCram's modern bathroom is gorgeous, from its white tile walls to its stunning white bathtub adorned with candles. Everything in this build appears so clean and pristine while also feeling like a cozy, welcoming bathroom to unwind in after a long day of mining. It's also mind-bogglingly realistic for a Minecraft build, featuring all the bathroom essentials.
If you want to pair this build with the aforementioned modern bedroom yourself, you'll need plenty of acacia wood, andesite, banners, concrete, glass, terracotta, and quartz on hand. You'll also want to grab some sea pickles and turtle eggs to simulate colorful candles as well as some flowers of your choice and leaves to place as stationary plants. The toilet itself makes use of a diamond helmet of all things, and the cabinets contain black carpet handles and item frame doors. It's certainly one of the more creative room builds out there, and is well worth an attempt in your own world.
The Modernist's Easy Bedroom
If you want a clean, modern bedroom but don't feel up to a challenge, you should look to The Modernist's easy bedroom build for inspiration. This gorgeous little room features a beautiful aquarium, fluffy rug, hanging lamps, shelves, and much more but is quite simple to recreate. With just some concrete, glass, quartz, and other abundant materials, you can craft the modernist's three-minute room yourself and make it the highlight of your base. That's right, you can get this build done in less than five minutes.
While it looks just as pristine as the other modern builds we've covered do, this stunning bedroom somehow manages to also appear all the more homely. We love the cozy touch of the aquarium that doubles as a half-wall adds, as well as the glowing hanging lanterns coupled with the massive leafy plant that are the cherry on top of this clean cake. You don't need to head into creative to master The Modernist's bedroom as it's truly accessible to all, making it a great addition to your survival mode world's base.
SidioMC's Cherry Blossom Enchantment Room
If you value the cute, the floral, the frilly, the pastel, and everything in between, you'll love SidioMC's cherry blossom enchantment room just as much as we do. You could try and incorporate this room into the interior of your base, but you can also have it as a standalone external build and make use of the biome outdoors by structuring everything within a cherry grove. With the hanging cherry blossom leaves and petals coupled with the soft glow of lanterns, this fairytale enchantment room is one of the coziest, most whimsical ones we've encountered.
There's no better place to have your enchantment table handy than within a magical little room, as this build proves. The archways, flora, surrounding water, and overall design all make it feel as though it was plucked straight out of a Disney film. If you want to live out some enchanted forest dreams yourself, you should stock up on cherry wood for planks, logs, and more. Make sure to also have deepslate bricks, lanterns, spruce wood, and flowery leaves of your choice to adorn this build with. You can even toss some adorable axolotls into the surrounding water for extra cute flair.
Eli's Underground Library
Speaking of Disney films, have you ever wondered what a dreamy library from the Beauty and the Beast would look like in Minecraft? Wonder no longer, as Eli's underground library is even more magical than the movie's own, featuring cozy candle lighting and warm tones galore. This build is perfect for players looking to make use of a larger basement space or for those wondering what they could do with an underground room, and it can even double as your enchantment area if you'd like it to.
You can nest your own rendition of this underground library quite deep to maximize space and ramp up those cozy vibes. As for materials, make sure to have bookshelves galore on hand, as well as a good few black stained glass, ladders, lanterns, lecterns, looms oak wood blocks, redstone lamps, and spruce wood blocks. This build is definitely on the more detailed side with all of its chests, shelves, and furnishings in between, but it's well worth an attempt in creative or survival mode.
Prisma's Modern Living Room
If you loved the modern bathroom and bedroom from earlier, you may want to add to your base with yet another stunning pristine room to match. This modern living room from creator Prisma ticks all of the same boxes, from its shiny white walls to its luxurious-looking gray accents and an aquarium to boot. The seemingly glowing blue fireplace is such a gorgeous touch, as are the "speakers" and massive television screen sitting in the center of the wall. Contemporary interior design fans, this living room build is for you.
This room appears simple, but it makes use of some interesting blocks to simulate furniture like sea lanterns and trapdoors. As for the floors, walls, and window, you'll need a lot of acacia wood, smooth quartz, and glass if you're hoping to recreate Prisma's build. To achieve the same unique blue fire, you'll have to obtain some soul soil first from the Nether. All that said, though, it's not too difficult a build to try your hand at, and it goes quite well with the other "modern" rooms from our list which means they could all come together to complete your base.
6tenstudio's Modern Kitchen
No, we haven't forgotten about a kitchen. Our next pick is yet another modern room, but this time it's in the form of a stunning kitchen with a massive quartz island, gorgeous lighting, and more. 6tenstudio's modern kitchen is the perfect cherry on top of your modern base build if you've already got the bathroom, bedroom, and living room down, with its clean, minimalist appearance and cozy warm lighting. This build is fit for the massive hillside mansion of your dreams, and you may just end up wishing it was real rather than in Minecraft.
If you want to try and give this build a go yourself, you'll need to prepare with lots of andesite, banners, item frames, looms, smooth quartz, and more to try and simulate real-world furniture the way that 6tenstudio does. For those of you growing tired of the gray and white décor, you can always use a few more leaves and give your kitchen a bit of floral life. You can even attempt to incorporate another aquarium here, perhaps where the counter island stands or in an unused portion of the room.
MrMattRanger's Ultimate Storage Room
While cozy bedrooms and visually appealing kitchens are important when considering your permanent base build, you'll also want rooms that focus on efficiency within survival mode worlds such as a storage room of sorts. That's where builds like this massive one from MrMattRanger come in, blending the beautiful with the functional to create what we can only describe as the ultimate storage room. From the stunning squids swimming above to the leaves dangling down the walls, every detail is just as jaw-dropping as the next with this room.
Many players don't put a lot of thought into their storage room as it's just the spot that they go into when they need to grab something or perhaps craft an item or two. MrMattRanger's build flips this typical storage build on its head, standing as a stunning underground open space with soft moss carpeting and seemingly infinite chests to store items within. If you want to make something more out of your storage room but don't know where to start, this build is perfect to look to for inspiration as it depicts so much more than your run-of-the-mill chest area.
MrKnock's Anime Room

From an adorable desk area to a beautiful wardrobe and fuzzy centered rug, this anime room could make the perfect bedroom for a cottage or house base build.
If you want to give this room a go in your own creative or survival-mode world, you'll need to stock up on some ingredients. Make sure to have birch wood, bookshelves, concrete, jungle wood, lanterns, leaves, and stone blocks on hand as well as some banners, flowers, and vines to use around the build as décor. You can always swap wood types or other colors around to personalize the room more to your own tastes, too.
