Any advice or tips greatly appreciated
Well first of all this is a subforum for finished work, threads like this belong into /Gallery/Wip
Don't name your threads "Critique this" since by this standart every single thread in that subforum would be called that ;]
Call it by whats in the scene. (So if it's automotive, ppl who don't understand automotive wont critique and ppl who know automotive will see it and help)
Well, the camera does not tell much about lighting, it does not reveal enough of the room.
This scene's main weakness is textures. The night stand has stretched UVs and looks bad because of it.
The floor and rug textures are hooribly to low res. if it tiles, tile it, if not replace it. Also it's too big. Then it lacks reflections and the normal map is too strong.
Since you called the file night stand and only show it: I take it, it's kinda of a product render or main focus is on the night stand? If yes, then light it properly, not by a window but a 3 point setup to make the main object look fancy and pleasing to the eye.
It looks like the handles are just textures. This is a big nono! It wont cast shadows or act realisticly. These details have to be geometry, or the scene will retain the cg look.
Many more things, but let's keep it to the main ones for now.
