Reddit user Jyrolyn shared theirStardew Valleyillusory staircase that they put between two rooms. TheStardew Valleyhome design gives the impression of a stairway that drops down from the space they’re standing in to the room to the left. The illusion is quite impressive, and makes use of braziers, floor dividers, and both rustic plank and oak paths. By dividing up the paths, the dividers create a structured appearance of individual steps that descend from one room to its neighbor. The staggered brazier placement brings the look home, giving a sense of three-dimensionality where there is none.

Stardew Valley Fans Find Inspiration

Players seem to be quite impressed with this simple but effective design. Over the years since the game’s launch, developer ConcernedApe has gradually added morehome expansions toStardew Valleyand unique items to fill the space with. However, it seems there’s always more space for customization. Expanded homes have an actual staircase, but nothing like the step-down short flight of stairs illusion created by Jyrolyn. While it would be a neat option to see added officially, players can recreate this look just about anywhere in their home, so there’s no need to wait to get the look.

WhileStardew Valleydoesn’t offer as much freedom in customization as a game likeMinecraft, that hasn’t stopped players from being extremely creative. For example, fans have used blue carpet to create the illusion of water, which they’ve built hot springs and ponds with.Stardew Valleyshedsare an empty canvas of sorts to decorate or utilize as one chooses, and players have found all kinds of creative ways of decorating these spaces, making completely unique creations or emulating existing places, like Gus’s Stardrop Saloon on their farms. It will be interesting to see if this stair design becomes a common part of decorational builds in the game.
