HELP cant figure out how to build a house on Terraria

Question

I found a flat area and lay some wood on it

what next??

Answer 1

build the structure of how u want it with wood or stone or w/e it is u want to make it with and then u have to use a workbench to make doors, torches, tables, chairs, and walls.walls are diff than the ones u use for the structue. u can make bricks if u want but id suggest just making wood ones for starters. u can tell the diff cuz if its wood u wont be able to walk in front of it, itll stop u like a dirt block. if its a wood wall its basically a background so u can walk n front of it.
