I'm thinking about making this empty room into a formal home office/library
for a writer.  Knowing that, should I use a dark hardwood floor or light
hardwood floor?  I'm going to use a lighter shade of the walls' color on the
ceiling.

I would appreciate any suggestions or all suggestion.

While the scene is at such an early stage I'd suggest you try out a few
wood textures, then decide which you think looks best. 

For big things like floor, walls, ceilling  I tend to leave those textures
untill the end, and let the mood be dictated by the objects of interest in 
the scene rather than finding a nice floor and then trying to make everying
else fit in with the floor.  

It's a good idea to work on your image untill you can't take it any further
by yourself and then post a WIP and ask for suggestions.  The folks around 
here usually come up with really good ideas that I'd never have thought of. 

Keep up the good work.

I like it the way it is.

Extreme simplicity with a swash of sterility to balance the textureless yet
tastefully bland institutional-colored surfaces that make up the walls,
floor & ceiling.

Seriously, I think a good place to start is with the vast amount of source
material at your disposal.  Look at rooms you see in magazines, movies &
television.  Ask yourself what looks 'formal' to you.  For me, I tend to
think of dark hardwood floors as being more 'formal'.  The furnishings that
you put in the room will also dictate the formality of the room, regardless
of floor materials.

The beauty of working in the 3D computer environment is that you can change
things with little or no building costs.  If you don't like the dark
hardwood floors, rip them out & put in the light hardwood floors (change
textures).

We will look foward to your WIPs.

I finally finished the bare room. But I feel that the floor is too dark and
the ceiling is too light.  Any comments are welcome.

Do you have shadows? it looks like the light is evenly spread, like its 
ambient light only. light creates mood.
Put textures on walls and ceiling (subtle works best).

no, I don't have any shadows of yet because I've not learn how to do that
(I'm new to Pov-ray).  My walls have bumps on them (size: 0.25 & scale:
0.005).
