Tips for making simple Terraria builds not look like boxes

the box look mostly comes from flat walls and a flat roof. things that fix it fast: - give it a proper roof, even a simple triangle using hammered (sloped) blocks - mix two or three block types instead of one. a darker block for the frame, lighter one for the fill - put background walls behind everything and don't make them the same material as the front - wooden beams or platforms sticking out past the edges break up the outline - make the rooms different heights so it isn't one rectangle stacked on another the hammer is the big one. half-blocks and slopes do most of the work.
