Go to first floor. Now we have to put the floor and walls. I recommend using the one found in Miscellanous (second or first position in the list), because it can be completely recolored to any other texture withouth any add-ons.
It's called something like "Basic floor" and has a red thumbnail.

Do exactly the same thing with walls. I choose the one from Paint category.
Change its color to whatever you need. I will paint my studio in white.

If you removed the roof, use floor tiles to do a ceiling. We have to cut the outdoor lighting completely from our studio.
Remember, that ceiling can be colored from the bottom of a tile.

Now open cheat console and write in this order:

Go to furniture. Sort it by type. You will notice a question mark above your panel, click it.
Go to Miscellaneous tab and search for square lights (thumbnail barely shows anything, because they are white).
You have a lot of lights to choose from. There are ceiling lights and wall lights in different size. I got used to using 2x2 ceiling lights and 2x2 wall lights.
This is how I place them, however you can play with them as you like to have different effects. Eg. if you remove ceiling light you will reach an effect of a spotlight on your object/sim/horse.
I have changed color to black to easily see the combination.
