May be also you could make the light coming from outside stronger so it burns the floor and add some aperture depth of field in the lens ... Often in reality direct light is stronger in interiors due to the iso and aperture used to get the interior light right ...
Try to have a realistic point of view.

Lighting is bad i can instantly tell.
I would start with HDRI lighting first, then mby adding sun o the HDRI to see if that makes it better and as final lighting add emission to these ceiling lights.
Also make sure the scale of objects is right, to make sure the shadows etc has realistic softness/sharpness.
