not too much space, BUT don't clup everything in one part of the map:

tips:
Autotiles, use them ALOT
Objects, use obkects but dont clump them like rocks on one side, trees on other put them in a mix.
Paths can help your map look better
mountains: dont make them all one size.

there is a topic on this section that is at the top:
"rules of mapping"
has some good tips.
