Something that Sparafusile said but you will find a whole lot of related info if you search for "5x5 routine". Just take care and go easy with dead lifts though.

First of all, what is your diet like? Are you getting a well rounded diet with fruits, vegetables, and lots of protein rich lean meat? If not your body will never grow regardless of what exercises you do. If you are eating all those things, remember that you'll need to eat more if you want your body to use the calories for building muscle and not just surviving.

If you want to get big and don't want to go to the gym and don't own weights then you should go work on a farm. Bail hay, lift horse feed, and pull stumps out of the ground. I don't mean literally, of course, but you need to find exercises like those to perform. They all have a couple things in common:

They are all full body exercises
They vary a considerable amount from
each other
They are probably not something your
body is use to doing

Since not every body has access to a farm, some good substitute exercises would be:

Deadlift
Squat
Bench press
Some sort of row

While teaching you how to do each of those exercises is somewhat out of the scope of this answer, I encourage you to read up on each and learn to do them safely. Many exercises like them can be down with very little to no weight. You can also almost always substitute a real world item for the dumbbell/barbell.

There are several bodyweight exercises that you can do in order to get some strength and stamina.

Pushups (for chest) - you can vary where you position the hands in order to go for different areas of the chest
Dips (for triceps)
Bodyweight Squat (for legs) - you can have weights in hand
Wall Sit (for legs)
Sit Ups (for abs)
Mountain Climbers (several muscle groups + stamina)
Step Ups (for calves) - you can do these even with weight in hand
Bodyweight Lunges (for legs) - you can have weights in hand

If you do these as a routine, then you should be set for very good results. You can find how to do these exercises properly on Youtube.
Here are also some more Exercises that can be done. It's written from the perspective of kids, however these exercises are great at any age.
Also what I find helps me when doing bodyweight exercises is yoga. Yoga has some great positions, which strengthen your body and make you healthier. Here are some yoga positions:
Good Yoga Positions for you to try

If you have a bench and dumbells then you can also do other types of exercises.

For chest:

DB Presses

For back:

DB Row

For triceps:

DB Kickback

For biceps:

Concentration curls

For legs: squats, step ups, lunges...but all with dumbbells

So here you have exercises for all the major muscle groups. You can exercise for example 4 times a week with a day rest between exercises. You can alternative having one day doing bodyweight exercises and another day with dumbells. You can do fullbody routines or split routines (where you do different muscle groups on different days).

For cardio you can do jumping jacks, or some running outside.

Assuming barbells are out of the question because you don't have space, your best bets for size-and-strength exercises are pseudo-gymnastic exercises for the upper body and heavy powerlifting-style exercises for the lower body. What does that mean?

For your arms, upper back, and shoulders: you'll want a pull-up bar and a place to do dips. (A dip station is best, but two chairs or other sturdy objects can be used in a pinch.) Three sets of each, for as many reps as you can do with good form, is fine. If you can't do five in a set, then do a couple more sets.

For everything else: with the heaviest dumbbells you can lift, do lunges, deep squats, farmer's walks, and deadlifts.
