Describing something is significantly easier if you can look at it - you find words for what you're seeing, you form associations. Quite a few astronauts publish short videos from the ISS. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2qSn0AC50I)'s one example, with astronaut Chris Hadfield. These videos let you see what it's like to be in a microgravity environment. Astronauts also talk about what it's like, what one has to adjust to. Observing a phenomenon and hearing first-hand accounts should make it easier for you to write about it. One thing I'd note: maybe you don't want to describe "floating" all the time - for someone who's been long in space, it becomes natural. Instead, you can mention strapping objects down - an indirect way of reminding the reader that they might float away.
