Start with lighting
Torches on every wall look messy. Hide lights under carpet, put lanterns on chains, or place glowstone behind trapdoors. Light that you can see but whose source is hidden always looks better.
Break up flat walls
- Frame walls with stripped logs every few blocks.
- Use item frames as signs or shelves.
- Add trapdoors as window shutters or cabinet fronts.
- Put flower pots and candles on top of fences and slabs.
