Minecraft villagers can offer players some excellent trades. Still, sometimes players need them in one place instead of wandering around a village to find a specific villager, which is why trading halls are so popular.
Trading halls keep Minecraft villagers in an isolated location, paired with their job blocks to facilitate different types of trades (blacksmith trades, farmer trades, etc.). Villagers are free to rank up from trades without the threat of hostile mobs attacking the complex and potentially converting them (unless players want to convert villagers into zombies before curing them, landing discounts on items).
Furthermore, there are several great trading hall designs for players to look to when they want to construct one of their own.

Trading hall designs for Minecraft players to consider
10) Mall Trading Hall
While making a shopping mall in Minecraft can result in many different designs, adding plenty of villagers for trading makes a mall both aesthetically pleasing and fully functional. Players could even create themed stores that only include certain villager professions to better adhere to the shop's themed goods. All in all, a mall build only stands to gain by introducing villagers.
It helps make the mall feel more lively, it still facilitates training for as many players as needed, and it can look great with the right surrounding buildings. It obviously won't fit in more anachronistic designs that include a healthy dose of medieval or science fiction themes, but it might fit in surprisingly well otherwise if players are willing to take the time (and resources) to build it.
9) Flying Trading Hall
While placing a villager trading hall in the sky may not make for the most practical design in Minecraft, it's still a very appealing one. This design utilizes a somewhat fish-like airship build with "fins" to move through the sky. While the build itself obviously doesn't move on its own, the villagers inside are still fully ready to trade when called upon, and the view from the build itself is hard to beat.
Even if reaching the trading hall takes more time, it's hard to deny that it looks great, particularly contrasting against the night sky. Moreover, the size of this build and the overall design allow it to stand out in the sky even at a distance, so players aren't likely to lose track of it anytime soon. If all else fails, players could consider adding a beacon somewhere on the build to make it even more noticeable.
8) Wraparound Trading Hall
It's remarkable what just a little bit of color can do for a villager trading hall in Minecraft, and this design does an excellent job of showing why. By introducing plenty of greenery with trees and azalea bushes (as well as some amethyst clusters to match the purple azaleas) and a small pond, this design makes a trading hall feel much more serene and simultaneously alive.
The villager trading stalls are framed around the central courtyard, providing a one-stop location to both relax and trade. No matter where players are conducting their business with the villagers, they have a great view of the central plaza, which can help fans take a load off after hours of adventuring, looting, and building.
7) TheTeaBoy24's Trading Hall
An incredibly pleasing design for a Minecraft trading hall, this hall incorporates bookshelf blocks to appear like item shelves, emerald blocks and bamboo for a green theming, and redstone lamps paired with lanterns for light.
Furthermore, the overhead levers allow players to open or close trapdoors to trade with the appropriate villagers. The green visuals paired with cobblestone and andesite also provide the hall with a natural sort of feeling, being organically made from easily accessible blocks.
6) Carpet Grid Trading Hall
A trading hall design that is more foundational, this creation by Minecraft Redditor Garl1cBr3ad101 utilizes a particular pathing problem that villagers have.
Villagers are incapable of pathfinding past carpet blocks placed on a second floor or layer. Because of this, it's possible to dig downwards, place one layer of carpet with a block in its center, and then place a second layer with villagers and their work block on top. Due to the second layer of carpet, Minecraft villagers are too tall to walk through the blocks, keeping them in place.
This design is modular and can essentially be plugged into any existing trading hall design that players may build.
5) Trading Hall Garden
Although many Minecraft players love creating large trading halls in indoor complexes, some prefer an outdoor approach.
This particular design uses the trading stalls of the villagers as outside fencing. Players can then enter through the perimeter to a pleasant hedged garden with a water fountain at its center. It adds a little nature to an otherwise strictly player-made structure. Greenery can benefit several Minecraft builds, and trading halls are no different.
4) Underground Trading Hall
Created by Minecraft Redditor Bauuutek, this hall design fits nicely underground for players who may not have space above ground for extra builds. It has a nice combo stone brick and spruce structure, ensuring that players can gather materials for it easily. The villagers rest on the outside, and redstone lamps line the roofing.
Bauuutek also added a small enclosure for placing animal mobs if players would like to, but the area could make a good spot for a small garden as well.
3) Multi-Story Trading Hall
Although many Minecraft players enjoy creating long trading halls, it doesn't hurt to build a trading hall vertically. This design incorporates two floors complete with villagers of different professions and a nice arched entrance that leads down into the hall.
The structure possesses the pleasant lighting of lanterns and incorporates small hedge planters made of slabs and leaf blocks at the entrance, which is a great touch. The build is primarily made of varied wooden planks, meaning it shouldn't be difficult to construct once Minecraft players have chopped down a few trees.
2) Guild Trading Hall
This trading hall is an excellent pick for Minecraft fans who love a medieval touch to their builds. It takes after the guilds of craftsmen during the Middle Ages and has a lot of decorations to accent the trading stalls.
Fletcher villagers are flanked by armor stands holding bows, while bows and crossbows can be placed on the walls via item frames. There are even a few maps placed on walls, making for a unique trading hall creation. This build doesn't suit fletcher villagers either, as it has more than enough space to accommodate any villager a Minecraft player needs.
1) Mega Trading Hall
A huge, near-cathedral-type build as a trading hall, this mega build is gorgeous and functional. Minecraft players have multiple floors open for trading, a wonderful skylight up top, and even crafting/enchanting blocks available for players to immediately turn about after trading and make the items they might need.
The exterior and interior feature nether planks, which can be a little tougher to get, but they look excellent with the stone bricks, cobblestone, and wooden logs present within and without. This trading hall is extravagant and won't be easy to build, but the visual and trading benefits speak for themselves.
