I know this is pretty old now (June), but just wanted to post a reply because it's such a striking image. The main issue for me is the composition of elements. You have the globe and pictures against the wall and somewhat away from the main focus of attention, even though they are by far the more colorful and interesting image elements and immediately draw the eye. This rather leaves them fighting for attention with the expanse of floor which occupies far more of the image area, yet lacks in color detail and therefore is less interesting by comparison. The pictures, globe, chair and lower wall are all beautifully rendered and to my mind, far more deserving of being the main focus of attention. Wouldn't re-framing the image from a slightly different perspective i.e. less floor and more of the individual items help balance things more aesthetically and produce a more satisfying image? Otherwise I feel you're left struggling to make the floor look more interesting (real?) when there's nothing intrinsic to help achieve this, except perhaps use of lighting, dust etc and possible reflections to add interest and depth.
