Getting Started

1
Create an empty plot. You will be given a free plot and a default home when you join the game for the first time. To make additional plots, it will cost you Blockbux, a currency that must be bought with Robux, which is the currency of Roblox costing real-life USD. If you cannot make a new plot, sell your starter house or current house.
- For example, if your house is worth $7,000, you'll only earn $4,900 back. If you don't want to lose money, use Blockbux to create a new plot and save your house.
2
Think of a theme for your house. Decide if you want it to be modern, victorian, a farmhouse, suburban, etc. Choosing a style is normally difficult unless you know exactly what you want. Some descriptions of each house are listed below if you don't know what you want:
- Modern-style houses have a tilted or flat roof, wooden walls, large rectangular windows, pillars, and an aesthetic color scheme.
- Victorian-style houses have a gable roof, wooden/brick walls, average-sized windows, shutters, pillars, and a monochromatic or vintage color scheme.
- Farmhouses have a gambrel roof, wooden walls, open windows, shutters, pillars, and a warm or aesthetic color scheme.
- Suburban houses have a gable roof, plastic (texture) or wooden walls, average-sized windows, shutters, pillars, and a monochromatic or analogous color scheme.

Make a plan for your house. When you build, it's maybe more difficult when you don't know what you want. Decide on the following to make building easier and more fun:
- What rooms do you need?
- How many rooms?
- What game passes do you have?
- Building on a small budget, or with a large amount of money?
- Will you add a pool or backyard?
- How about a front yard?
- Do you intend to have a family?
4
Open Bloxburg's build mode. This will give you the option to edit your current plot. If you go to your mailbox and press E (or tap on it for mobile), the option to enter build mode should appear, along with some other convenient options. Click "Build Mode" and you should be standing on your plot, ready to build.

Building the Exterior

1
Place the walls. Make sure there's at least space for a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a garage. Here are some optional rooms that you can add for decoration or roleplay:
- Movie room
- Playroom
- Study
- Laundry room
- Reading room
2
Create the floor. Add the floor by clicking each corner from left to right, or right to left. To make it quicker and easier, click the automatic version. If you place it manually, make sure you don't skip a corner!
3
Make a door for your house. A door is essential; without it, you can't enter your building. Place a door that fits the house. The best door isn't the most expensive door - it's the door that matches your house and fits in with the color scheme.
4
Add windows. Don't spam windows everywhere, though - instead, place them in spots where they're functional and won't be blocked by stairs, bookshelves, cabinets, beds, etc. It's helpful to place them in these types of places because you'll be able to see if someone is trying to enter your house or if someone is outside.
5
Build the roof. This works a lot like the floor, except it's on top of walls or pillars rather than below them. You can have the roof automatically placed or manually. It's all up to you since this is your own unique house.
6
Decorate your house. Click the Decorations button on the bottom left of your screen, and add objects like plants, paths, garden lights, tables and chairs, doorbells, etc. This is optional, but a nice finishing touch for an aesthetic exterior.
7
Paint the exterior of your house. The paint tool can be found on the bottom of your screen or activated by the F button on your keyboard. The part of the house you're painting should turn blue when you hover over it. Add textures and colors of the color scheme you've selected. Don't forget to paint both sides of the walls!

Building the Interior

1
Light up your build! Again, don't spam lights, but add them in places where they make sense. Making light brown or gray lights keeps your house from appearing too bright. Many experienced builders use "linen lighting" to prevent extreme brightness.
2
Create the living room. Living rooms are crucial to a detailed build for both living and roleplaying. A living room normally consists of:
- Storage (i.e. bookshelves, boxes)
- Decorations
- A television
- A coffee table
- Sofas and armchairs
3
Decorate the kitchen. Kitchens are used for increasing your moods or cooking level and are essential to functional houses. A kitchen normally consists of:
- Counters and islands
- Microwaves and stoves
- Coffee makers and kettles
- Decorations
- Stools
4
Add furniture to your bedroom. Your bedroom is one of the most important rooms in both real houses and Bloxburg houses. Bedrooms usually consist of:
- Beds
- Desks
- Dressers and closets
- Decorations
- Storage (i.e. bookshelves, boxes)
- Curtains
5
Move onto the bathroom. This is another important room for your house since even Robloxians have to clean up. Bathrooms usually consist of:
- Toilets
- showers or bathtubs
- Counters
- Sinks
- Decorations
6
Decorate any optional rooms. You can skip this part of the process if you don't have any, but if you do, add anything you'd expect in that room. As an example, when decorating a movie room, add a television, armchairs, potted plants, paintings, popcorn machines, etc.
7
Paint the interior of your house. The paint tool can be found on the bottom of your screen or activated by pressing the F button on your keyboard. The part of the house you're painting should turn blue when you hover over it. Add textures and colors of the color scheme you've selected.

Can you do this on mobile too?

Yes, Bloxburg is playable on mobile devices. But like most Roblox games, it's easier to play on a PC.

What if I don't have enough money?

You are going to need to go to work. Try Pizza Planet as it is fun and easy. As you work and level up, you will get more money. (The top Lvl 50 gets you $2000 for each pizza delivered.)

Question

If you are not creative, is it okay to copy builders you see on YouTube?

Of course! The entire purpose of a speedbuild video is so that you could use it as a reference or inspiration for whatever you're building.

Tips

Keep your theme in mind at all times. If you're making a vintage build, don't use modern items. Instead of a radio, try a gramophone. Instead of using a wireless phone, use one connected to the wall that uses a wire.

Try to get inspiration from other houses or designs, just don't copy them!

If you want to add neon colors, use an analogous color scheme to include at least one neon color. Don't use random neon colors together or it won't look as aesthetically appealing.

Tips from our Readers

The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.

I suggest also using wall trims and pillars to make a building pop. Use a convenient color scheme, texture for the outside, and a lot of plants. Using an auto roof is fine, but if you do it manually, it might look better :)
I always recommend placing your house 5 to 15 squares away from the sidewalk. That way, you have enough space for your driveway and front yard.
Make sure you have enough money for what you're going to be building. It can be demotivating to have to stop building to work for more money.
You can also get ideas for your home by looking up pictures of real life houses, house plans, or by looking at other player's homes.

Sometimes people might ask to build your house, be careful because they might mess it up and leave the game.
