Lately I have been thinking that NPC villages just seem so boring. Yes, they contain buildings that you can spend your first night in, but most of them don't even have a good interior! Here are some of my ideas on some improvements for the NPC village.
*Pictures in the attachments!
1. Better paths. The current type of path in a village is just plain gravel. If you enjoy building like me, then you will just cringe when you see this plain gravel path. I thought a good way to improve the path would be to mix in some andesite, cobblestone, and mossy cobblestone with the gravel.
2. Better wells. The well design for the village is just boring, in my opinion. It's just some cobblestone with fences and water in the middle. I think a good way to improve the well would be to add some cobblestone stairs at the bottom, and some slabs on the top corners. Nothing too fancy, just some small improvements.
3. Actual animal pens behind the butcher building. Everyone knows the butcher shop in a village, right? Well, I guess the butcher never has any food, because the "animal pens" behind his shop have no animals in them. I think a simple way to fix this would just adding a cauldron with water back there, plus come cows, pigs, sheep, or chickens. The animal pen has a 50% chance of being pigs, 30% chance of having sheep, and a 10% chance of cows or chickens.
4. Interiors for the large village homes!! Personally I just think it's crazy to not have an interior on any building, but especially the biggest, richest house in the village?! That's just insane! I think it would be a good idea to just add a simple interior to the large building. (skeleton skull on the bookshelf would be quite rare) The interior would be either one of the designs below.
Sounds interesting, but for one nitpick: if there are stairs around the base of the well, the villagers will climb in and drown. Otherwise, support.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. I will face my fear. I will let it pass over me and through me, and when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
I pretty much support all of that. I never understood why the biggest houses had nothing in them. I always assumed that was for players to fill.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.
That's actually a good point. At one point I had problems with villagers drowning, so I raised up the bottom of the well a few blocks.
Is there a reason the well needs to be more than one block deep?

I like to see more character to villages, all it is are a bunch of Villages with confused humanoid beings running around. What has been suggested is also rather simple yet makes a difference.

Villagers can simply jump the 1 block and drown aswell. Though it's uncommon for it to happen.
Actually this is a decent suggestion. 4J actually had a building contest on facebook a few months back to see some
minor changes to villages. Never kept up with it though.

Villages designs are just so boring! I really like the interior designs and the designs in everything.

I don't even play Minecraft much anymore yet here I am on the Minecraft forums for some reason...
This would probably improve villages a lot, so I'll say support.
I like mooshrooms.

Support. :). Villages are just a few houses, farms and a well connected with gravel paths.

Support because the villages would become more intresting and more important as you would have a small chance of getting a skeleton skull.
