Do you have any tips for making a map?

I feel my maps are mediocre at best but I think what's been helping me out a lot is looking at maps from other RPG Maker games.

Not to directly copy the maps but to get ideas on what kind of ways to utilize the tilesets in order to create towns and rooms with your own personal touches.

When I first started, I kept getting told my maps had too much empty space. 



This was one of the first versions I made of the Universal House of Worship where there was just too much unnecessary space. Made the map feel barren and incomplete.



Here's a newer version where I added a carpet on the main pathway and narrowed it down to minimize that empty feeling. I'm thinking of putting some other statues or decorations on certain parts of the pathway but still on the fence about it.

Hopefully this helps.
