How To Decorate Like A Boss?

[FlawlessHappiness]

Damn... I remember writing a humongous post about this exact topic a while ago, but I just can't find it anymore. That search function is useless!

Anyway, let's see what little I still remember from all that rambling I did about environment/ visual level design:

1. Avoid large, empty rooms, looong empty corridors and large planes with obviously tiling textures (walls, floors, ceilings). Break them up whereever you can by using decals, carpets, piles of fitting small objects (books, papers, rubble, lamps on a wall...) or simply by using a more interesting room shape.

Will just add one thing here:

Also avoid having rooms stuffed with useless ornaments...
Remember a human is supposed to live in here. There's supposed to be space so you can walk, and stand inside the room with having to avoid sofas, chairs etc.
