Step 1 - Create a new file
Create a new file with these settings:- Width: 3000px
- Height: 3000px
- Resolution: 300 dpi
- Color Mode: RGB Color; 8bit
- Background Contents: Transparent

Step 2 – Create the Walls
To start off, let’s open Big Blue Sky Stock. We will be using this to create the walls of our room. So let’s transfer it to our 3000x3000 layer. Click our stock image, press (M)to activate our Marquee tool and select the sky and leave the trees outside the marquee box, once you’ve done that press (V) and drag the selected part of the image by holding down the left mouse button to our canvas. See example below:

Now that that’s done, let us create the room’s perspective. Let us set the navigator to 15% so the ruler would be counting in 1’s. See image below:




Step 3 - Adding texture to the walls
In this step, we will be adding a texture to the very flat looking wall. We will be putting the texture over the clouds to give it a feel of a dirty wall. Let’s open our 18 Vintage Photoshop Brushes. (Note: After downloading this brush set, extract it to ABR file to “Adobe Photoshop > Presets > Brushes”) We will need to apply the brush on a clean layer so let us create a new layer. Press Ctrl+N or click on the “Menu bar’s Layer > New > Layer.” You may also create a new layer by pressing the paper button located on our Layer Window. Be sure to rename our new layer as “Wall texture: middle” Changing the layer’s name is easy, just click on the words Layer 1, double click on it and there you have a new name for it.
Press (B) to activate your brush tool and right click anywhere in the image and click on the button that resembles the play button on audio players then left click on Replace Brushes.

Thanks a lot! Great tutorial and love your precise approach =) I modified final part, but love your original idea. Here is my version http://milanaserk.deviantart.com/art/Setting-Off-484852574
I searched a lot, but the Anarasha wave brush seems to be offline. But after some searching I found equally good wave brushes at this site:

A lot more 'water brushes' can be found here:

sorif,
the waves brush by anaRasha is not a working link. I've tried looking for it and it would be really cool for a different download or something like that.
