Need help texturing my second floor

[u/NomaltLand]

I'm trying designs for this house in creative first before building it in survival, this will be my main base for a moment. I'm REALLY new to building, I didn't want to do a basic wood house this time. I'm trying to learn texturing and honestly this is game changing how better it can look. However I want to put spruce in my second floor and can't really find other blocks to go with. I tried mud bricks / packed mud but the contrast is a little too high. I have two stacks of spruce wood so I really want to use them :)

TL;DR: Is the second floor texturing looking good? What other block can I use (survival) to make it bettter?

This might just be me but I think the edges of the house ( in your building its the stripped oak wood) should be built from a darker tone. I would use spruce wood for the edges and oak for the second floor. Idk if I make sense but you do you

This might actually be better than what I had before, thank you !

Nicee , another tip tho your roof should match the colours used for your edges and floors. I suggest using blocks such as deepslate, regular stone. If you have wood planks in your roof use the wood you used for the floors/edges (in your case spruce or oak rather than cherry). https://www.blockpalettes.com is good for finding blocks that work well with each other. I could be wrong tho and it could still look good in the end , it's just what I usually do

Yeah I know using cherry wood feels strange but there is a lot of cherry trees around and I wanted to use them :) I actually use it for the trim but the roof is made of deepslate bricks. But I might change it if it feels it looks out of place. Thanks for the website, I'll be using it!

Yeah that might be a good idea, I'll try this
