If you’re going for a more desert theme (I’m assuming you are due to the sand and general aesthetic), I’d look for some reference images. If you want to keep the current walls, I suggest sticking with a more blocky style. Maybe add some small shrubs, cacti, or piles of sand scattered around. As for non-natural decoration, it’s good to consider a time period for the game. Assuming it’d be a bit more modern, maybe some crates, tools, and small structures would work well. Play around with the scene and aesthetic and find what works well.

Could you be specific?
“I don’t know” is not a valid answer. Tell everything about how you want it to be.
You can tell what this map theme would be, what layout, what would it look like?

Start with a general idea and then make use of external stimuli to expand your thoughts.
For instance, say I want to make a forest/wooded map. I don’t know where to start. All I know is that I want a forest type map.
First, you need to find your design constraints. For instance:
How big does the map need to be?
If the map is for a certain game, what features should it include?
Do you need to make gameplay considerations?
Is there a part count limit?
These are all important things to consider.
Once you determine constraints, I would recommend looking up forests. What things are in forests? What do they look like?
Once you find a number of things that are directly related, you should go on and find some completely random items that are unrelated to help stimulate ideas. For instance, you could use a pin. Using this, you could consider what a pin does. You can think of phrases that may be associated with it. I’m going to associate the pin with the phrase: It was so silent, you could hear a pin drop.
Now, how can I relate that to a forest? Well, this gives me ideas about the atmosphere I want to create. Do I want there to be sounds, or do I want it to be quiet?
External stimuli may not yield any results, but they help make stuff unique.
As other people said, you didn’t really provide a lot of information about your project, so it’s hard to provide more specific feedback. Hopefully this helps.
