The buildings in "Small World" are very important viewing spots in the game. After the buildings are built, they need to be decorated to look better. In fact, architectural decorations can be divided into square windows, pointed windows, window openings, lanterns, flags and chimneys. Many types, square windows and pointed windows are functionally the same.
How to decorate the small world house in the forest
The decoration includes square windows, pointed windows, window openings, lanterns, flags and chimneys.
Square windows and pointed windows are functionally equivalent, so we'll bundle them together for explanation (when you feel comfortable, just use the window that looks right in your build)
Windows can be placed in the wall to create a small opening, these rae are mainly used to fill empty spots in the wall, but if you place a window next to another window of the same type, then they will merge together to create a Double windows, you can do this again to create a triple window and it won't go any further. If you don't have the tools in hand, then you can move the window to a more precise location of your choice. You can also place windows in the corners of box buildings (this applies to all 3 stages of windows.
If you don't like the first window it gives you, clicking on a window will cycle through all of its different appearances. If you have two windows with a little distance between them then they can be connected to hang a clothesline, if you don't find it then click on it to cycle through the styles until you find it (as long as my patience allows, I'm pretty Ok this only works for a single window but I welcome being proven wrong)
Window holes are used in more niche situations, but I have found a use for it.
If you click with the window hole tool above a window hole that you have placed, it will grow it into a window slit, again doing this will make it a slightly more complex shape. When I say you can move it to a more ideal position, the same rules apply for other windows, but it doesn't look any different when you click on it.
I used this for the tower windows, and from memory that seems to be their usual location.
Lanterns are very basic, so I'll explain them briefly and then give some examples of how I use them.
Lanterns can be placed on walls, buildings or on the ground, depending on where you want to place them. When placed on buildings, you can also place them in corners if desired. When no tool is selected, you can move the lantern just like any other cosmetic item.
When you place the lantern on the floor, it provides a small wooden frame that can be rotated and moved without the selection tool.
When I use lanterns, I usually place them next to a window or on a path to light them up.
If I had a fence and wanted to put a light on it, I would position the lantern, rotate it to where I wanted it, and then slowly move it until the wooden beam holding it merged with one of the fence beams , making it look like it's attached to the fence.
If you have a flat roof as shown in the second screenshot, then you can also place a lantern on the ground like I did here.
Flags are basically the same as lanterns, except they don't glow at night.
With some exceptions, you can place them in the same location as the lanterns. You can also put them on the roof, if the roof ends at a point then you can put it on top. Depending on whether there are any obstructions, the sign may be shorter than you expect.
If the distance between flags is small, then bunting will occur between them. If you paint the flags different colors, the bunting will alternate between those colors.
Chimneys are probably the simplest of all decorations.
You can put them on the roof, even if it is completely flat, and it will create some smoke.
After placement, the height and position of the chimney can be adjusted without selecting a tool
I mainly use it where it feels right and to fill in any empty roof space.
UPDATE: While reading the comments, someone mentioned that basically any decoration can be placed on the corners of a building (if they are box-shaped, cylinders have corners too), these are lanterns, flags, squares and points With shaped windows (all stages of window sizes work on the corners), the chimney can be placed on the edge of the roof, which will form a long stone tube to allow smoke to pass through the "house"The fireplace inside”
Thanks to a recent update, you can now place a window door without setting an elevation below it, which will place a door as long as it is at the base of the building. If the base of the building is raised, then it will have a mini balcony.
I also discovered it by accident. But if the chimney stone pillar is placed at the edge of the roof and something blocks it, the pillar disappears and is replaced by a small metal exit point.
