Small Trailer House
First off if you want a small starter house with an interior design, then you'll want to build yourself a trailer house with this design by NewFreedomMC. This small house features a decent living room, a bathroom, and even a bedroom. Just remember this house doesn't have a lot of space for storing other items!
Besides the interior design, a trailer house will offer you a lot of freedom when it comes to its outside. Although a lot of stuff can't be added to the inside of this small house, the yard's up to your imagination.
The Hobbit Hole
If you're a fan of The Hobbit movies and want a small compact starter house underground, then you should build yourself this Hobbit hole design by Goldrobin. It includes a big storage room connected through a hall leading up to a small bedroom, though it's up to you to expand the hole however you wish.
Everyone begins their first starter home from the early game in a hole and this one definitely brings it back in a brighter light. It's small yet big referencing the Hobbit, but if you don't love small houses underground, then make a big house beside the beach!
Tall Small Modern House
Getting some space in a small house on one floor is hard. But the small survival house tutorial by Random Steve Guy featuring multiple floors upward and underground makes it much easier to build mostly using stone bricks and dark oak wood! Spruce wood for good looks can be used as well.
This small modern house by Random Steve Guy has 3 floors: a living room, a crafting room, and a storage room. The interesting part is how you reach each floor, where the second floor is accessed by stairs leading to it, and you'll be going into a spacious basement through a water elevator!
Cozy Oak House
Although this isn't one of the most modern houses in Minecraft, the old-fashioned looks make it one of the cozier small houses everyone should build in their Minecraft worlds. This design is by One Team, and it has 2 floors including an excellent living room connected to the kitchen and a ceiling with a bedroom connected to a small library!
When it comes to space, this house is more focused on looking good rather than compatibility. So I'd recommend you build an extra storage room next to this house where you can keep and hold all of your collected items!
Wooden House with Farm on Roof
There are lots of beautiful tiny wooden houses you can build, and this one by Tanol Games is no exception. The unique feature here is actually using the rooftop by building a farm atop it. Inside the house, you'll find 2 small cozy floors including almost everything you'll need to live a simple life!
You can use the rooftop to grow any Minecraft crop you want, albeit wheat looks the best. And as time goes on, more floors can be added if you think the place starts to get a little cramped up.
Tiny Tent House
If you want the absolute smallest and most compact house there is in Minecraft, then this tent house by ManDooMiN will do the job for you. The inside is a 3x3 room with the most simple items and tools you'll ever need in the early game of a survival world!
Since the walls of the house are built mostly using trap doors, you won't have a problem gathering most of the required materials for this build. But know that this poses a problem where zombies and creepers might come very close to you at night.
Modern House With Pool
Looking back at the modern house we saw previously, this design by WiederDude has a little interesting take - a pool! As you'd imagine so far, there are 2 floors inside the house with a little crafting room and a living room.
Although the pool adds beauty to this modern house, some people find it a bit too dull. What I'd recommend is you build it into a hot tub to make this modern house more pleasing!
Medieval Starter House
If you're a fan of the old ages, then get prepared as you'll fall in love and build this medieval house by NeatCraft. It features 2 big floors having most of the items and storage a player needs alongside a tower to scout your surroundings of hostile mobs.
Having some building skills before jumping into making this small house will help you to narrow down the good looks of it. But if you have the materials beforehand, it shouldn't pose that big of a problem to build it in half an hour or so!
Small Japanese Temple House
Japanese-themed houses are always interesting to build, and this small temple idea by Ayvocado is absolutely worth your time building! There's 1 floor where you'll be keeping all your furnaces, crafting tables, or even brewing stands combined with a little bedroom in the ceiling.
When it comes to the beauty of this small house, you'll want to build it on the outskirts of a lake or river. That's where you'll be able to decorate it very well and make it look the most stunning using the best Minecraft shaders!
The Mangrove Starter House
Finally, if you're a fan of specific biomes like the mangrove, then you'll absolutely love this mangrove starter house by Dio Rod. If you didn't already guess, it's meant to be built in the mangrove biome.
The starter house has a big room serving as a living and storing room with an outside farm and a shed next to it. It's built mostly using materials from grown mangrove trees, so building it anywhere outside this biome will be very difficult.
Now you can go and build an excellent home using these best smallest house ideas. Minecraft houses can be big and flashy like treehouses, but sometimes it's best to build small houses and not take hours to build a home!
