This a rural interior scene, modeled, textured and illuminated with Modo, then exported to Octane Render plus some photoshop.
Rendered in DL/diffuse, 8 bounces.

Globally nice renders, but the Handles of the drawers totally break the illusion. As a son of a cabinet maker, I have seen all kinds of furnitures, and these handles should look really different. They are totally flat and there is a cut out in the middle for a key, but no key hole in the wood behind. Also they look directly cut out in a sheet of metal.

Real handles for a furniture of this style should be made of bronze or iron, and molded or embossed with some grain/details visible and should be worn. Most often, even recent copies of old furnitures are artificially worn for a more authentic look.
