Hi,

I'm trying to model my new house (we're restructuring it for the arrival of
our son :-) so tha I can plan the décor well in advance.

I modeled the whole thing in Moray, using the actual dimensions of the house
(1m = 1 unit) and it's coming along nicely.

However, no matter what I try I can't get a decent view of a room, it always
looks crowded and much smaller than it should be or it looks like Escher
had fun with my walls.

In short: I can take beatiful pictures of *details* of my furniture, but I
can't get a nice view of the whole room. Heck, even the pictures I took
with a digi are better and I'm a lousy photographer.

Could anyone help me and tell me how I should position my camera?

Hi,
try with wide angle camera >50°, take the view from a corner of the room or
from the door.
You can set that in the modify tab of the camera in moray.

Try an angle of 63 degrees and position your camera 30cm away from a
corner, about 170cm above the floor. This should give you an idea how
it would look if you stood there, watching.
