wertu - when you design any sf set - the 1st thing is to consider what is going to be used for ?
Think of Aliens - the sets here are very functional. So map out the basic room shape, then add the detail for example a boiler room will have lots of assorted pipes. where as a control room would have very few.
Inspiration is best from real life. Walk around the back of a buiilding and see how heating systems enter the building, how doors and windows are blocked up and how the rubbish is scattered around.
If you want specfic SF ideas - google Syd Mead. He was the conceputal artist for Blade Runner and 2010 amongst many movies.
