Here is the finished version

EXTREMELY COMPACT. 3 steps to walk across the map left to right.
This is the finished version of the Room I posted earlier. I'll post the rest of the house later.

The problem with a lot of newer creators (and do correct me if I'm wrong about your being a new RM user, I realise I'm generalising here and apologise to those who are great mappers the first time around) is that they tend to think things need to be larger than they do. I see a lot of maps that are double or more the size that they need to be. Not that I can say much - when I was a newbie (oh how long ago that was ;_;) I used to do the same thing. Sometimes I still do. *.*;
Back on topic, though.
Really, you could cut that room in half and still have enough room to swing a cat in. There's a golden rule in situations like this (and no, it's not the three tile rule).
It goes - "If you need to add more random/unnecessary things to fill it up then it's too big." Basically, if you need to add a table, more bookcases, a chest and spears to make it look full, there's too much space.
Ultimately, though, it's up to you.
tl;dr?
Too big - try make it smaller. ^.~
I'm not a new RM user. Mapping isn't my strength.

Here is a map that needs serious love.

This is what the map currently looks like. A bed. Bookcase. Nothing else. Well lets get to work.
Well its empty as hell. There is almost nothing here. I should add some windows. Maybe a weapon rack or two. Well lets see what I can do.

It looks better than before but still feels very empty. Like a void almost. Although it looks pretty cool so far. Its boring to walk around in. Time to fix this. I'm going add a table. A desk. Maybe a chair by the window. Who knows? Time to kill the Empty Monster.

MUCH BETTER. The Empty monster is dead. I'll post more maps later.
