Use the 'Create a Diagonal Room Tool' to craft more interesting house designs. >>>> same place where you build walls. Look in that tab when you click to build walls!
Hold SHIFT to place the floor over an entire room.
Create a floor and put objects in before putting in walls. This ensures you don't waste space if you're on a tight budget.
Use the Day/Night Toggle to allow you to see how your new items or house looks at night.>> works well for lighting so you don't overuse lights.

One cheat code that really helps with building is "moveobjects on" without the quotes.
To alter apartment buildings, use the cheats "RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings off" and "Buydebug" without the quotes. Delete the hidden room markers (little black round things) on surrounding floors to expand your living area. You can use a maximum of 3 floors (most of the time).
