Whenever I have tried making tiny tiles for tiling, like 10px x 10px in size, the only thing I have ever been able to make well is diagonal lines.

I suppose it has something to do with painting principles like how we perceive tiny light and shadow (up/down,inside/outside).

How can I create tiles that repeat well in Photoshop?

"Looks good" is an impossible thing to answer, particularly without images of what you think looks good, and some examples of what you have made that in your eyes fails.

There are a lot of tile generators out there, that might be much simpler than starting from scratch in photoshop. And if you do not directly use the result of these engines, you will get a pretty good idea of how it works structurally.

Here are but a few:

Bgpatterns

Background image generator

Stripe generator

...and here is a collected list of a few different tile generators of various kinds.

Looks good is a very subjective description...

I like to make connecting lines so the end result looks woven. I also keep keep colors to a minimum, typically just 2 or 3.

Why don't you start by collecting a few samples that you like, then recreate them with a few small touches of your own?
