I recently wrote this tutorial: How to creatively write descriptions

Be sure to read to the bottom where the exercise is -- I think that will give you some insight. It certainly did for me.

Relate it to the story. Of course it's an option to say
'The room is large. The walls are lined with paintings. A low sun shines in the window,'
etcetera etcetera. But it can be more rewarding and more interesting to say,
'One of the many paintings on the wall caught Mel's eye; it was a portrait of a young woman who looked very like a girlfriend she had had, back in New York. Or maybe it was just Mel's mind playing tricks, as well as the low sun, tinging everything yellow as it shone in the windows at the other end of the large room.'

Try reading some fiction. Depending what you're trying to describe, reading some fiction can help to show you how to describe things.

I'm new here, so I haven't read much of the things people have posted and cannot tell you whose work to look at yet.
