- Experiment, don't be afraid to try new stuff with different tiles.
- Go back and throughyly check for tile errors.
- Make it look real, as if you might see it in real life (mainly for
outside levels) like don't have lots of symmetrical trees all lined
up or a straight river.
- Don't just overload your levels, sometimes levels that have too
much stuff in them just look messy.
- Try to use tiles that match up together.
- Try not to use predifined objects (mainly things like houses)
- Sometimes it's even good to plan out your levels, sometimes I
even draw a quick sketch on paper to see how I'm going to plan
the level out.
*Yawns*... Ok, that might get you started, going to bed now, bye.

I spend time on my levels, but the experiment with new tiles and make it look realistic completely negate eachother. Lots of people(mainly birdbird) will try to make their level TOO original and go out of hand.
