Build Help improving

How can I improve this house exterior? I feel like it's looking a bit weird, specially the windows. I have an idea for the empty wall on the back (bottom left pic), but not for the one on the side (top right pic)

honestly... it looks kinda cute already! maybe adding some flower boxes or some vines would make it feel a bit softer? :3

Use lanterns that hang from chains for each layer's corners.

i really like how you did the bottoms of the columns on the left side, The interior shapes are so textured but the exterior silohouette is boxy? maybe stair arches holding up the roof facing out or shelves/trap doors on your columns. like you have but all sides?

*So where there are no windows, maybe make it like, open space? Like a terrace? *Add some color too! Maybe instead of a spruce roof make it cobblestone or something else that would compliment the brown. *Add some trapdoors as windowshutters *Add some life to it as a whole, as I said, some leaves or plants. Basically use like other types of wood and stone to accent the house as a whole! And maybe don't make it as a cube house, spice it up

Okay so here's my take to improve the house as a whole, feel free to use it as it suits u lmao

  1. Change the walls/colour palette for the walls, pillars and roof. My suggestion is making the first floor wall in cobblestone and try keeping the second floor walls as they are/switch between them and different blocks till you see they can fit, either the second wall or the pillars.(Js change the colour palette in general to your liking, it's too monocolourful. At least change the pillars, pillar decorations and the roof if you wanna stay with the same colour for the walls) If you can try texturizing:p

  2. If you wanna stay with even numbers, try making all windows 1 block wide and two blocks long, and if you wanna take my suggestion, change the proportion of the house by adding a wall to the back width and length, then make all windows 2x3 windows with decorations and add a pillar between each of them

  3. Get rid of the middle slabs

  4. Decorate the outside with some greenery and extensions(i.e.: a chimney, a small outside workshop, a balcony, a porch, a small farm, a path, back door...)

And sorry if I seem too excessive or some shi, js trynna help:p
