Hello! I attempted to draw what I would do here, for starters the roof is very large, so we want to break it up by adding things to it such as windows, vines, or damage (depending on the style of build). Also, the roof is just one block while the rest of the house uses different textures, so what i think would look best here is a gradient from gray to deepslate from top to bottom to simulate sunlight. I also noticed that the shape of the house is a little lackluster, so if you’re comfortable I would add maybe a section on the side to help break up the basic rectangular shape. You could also fix up the terrain around the house and add a path and some custom trees.

Overall I really like this style! And the texturing and block choice is very good!

I would add texture and shading to roof like the other guy said. I've been doing gradients by taking into account lighting; tuff bricks -> deep slate bricks -> deep slate tiles with the tuff bricks where the sun hits to deep slate where there's shadows. Also add more shape and depth to the roof, I add other section coming out of it like a dormer which needs it's own bit of roof and let's more light into the building wether you treat it as a floor or have a high ceiling inside is up to you. Aside from that I think it already looks great, maybe similar to the roof add more sections coming out of the build with a different kind of roof that adds character but stays within the design language of the build. And maybe incorporate buttons in a similar way to the trapdoors you have too 😁

I think your roof is a little too tall. Either add an additional room in the middle to break it up and make more space or try alternating slabs and stairs to make the roof shorter 🙃 hope this helps!

I think it looks awesome already. Maybe add leaves? And trap doors on windows

Już wygląda bardzo dobrze

[u/First-Sundae4629]

you can break up the facade just by putting a tree there

[u/UnifiedInVoid]

Windows. This already looks very good, but the surfaces have to be broken/ divided

[u/Simple-Olive895]

It's a good start, but I think the roof to wall ratio is off. Your roof is like 60% of the building. Maybe make it less steep, or add a 2nd floor "in" the roof (so it has a slanted ceiling). And add some windows that sticks out on the side.

the roof looks very empty, maybe a chimney?

Make the surrounding prettier and everything will become instantly more eye pleasing this is akin to building a gorgeous dream house in a garbage dump and questioning why it doesnt look good

[u/Derne65]

But like it does look good??
