What about pillar-trim-wall-constructions like this?

Or try it like it was done with DOM-Horean.
Also try to include more (smaller) light sources (torches and maybe those ut crypt laterns at walls), this improves the atmosphere a lot as well.

It has never bothered me to see larger rooms that appear a little bit empty. That's exactly what I expect from an old game like UT. Some mappers try to cover this by using lots of trim, but I don't like that. Besides, when you enter larger real-life buildings (e.g. warehouses, factories, castles, canyons) they appear to be empty as well.

Also, good to hear you had fun with krank.

True, however if you look at pictures like those ones

you will see "details" you will never be able to "catch" with UT, brocken bricks, decals, the lighting is also very important to consider.

ok thats a painting but the textures, but its enough as example: Textures are also rather important, how often do they repeat themself on an "empty" looking wall. You just can not expect wonders with 256² textures, or you scale them that much that you can start counting the pixels on them.

This one is also very pretty IMO: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NMws4MT3zeo/T ... oom_01.jpg
