When working with an image to use as flooring, wallpaper, etc, don't be afraid to play with it.  Resize it.  Make it bigger if you get lines on your walls or floors.  Make it smaller if the design is too large.  If the image is too small and does not look good on your work when resized larger, then follow the directions in Advanced Flooring which will cover Mirroring techniques.

When a texture in the supplies is white or light grey, don't be afraid to Colorize it to match the room.  The black marbles look great when you Colorize them, just adjust the Saturation high to get some beautiful color variations.

Take time to look through all of the Tutorials above.  Each one covers different aspects of room building.  Taking the time to give each one a general look at will give you a better idea of all the things that are possible for you to do.

Don't rush your room building.  This is not a contest for who creates the best room in a short time, it's an exercise in deepening your graphic skills while having a lot of fun.  Experiment, create, add your own ideas and expertise.
