i can see more shape being used here… the right side feels a bit flat and contributes to an overall flat feel … use a light (bounced from over window (or STU) to shape the bed and create a bit of shadowed effect on right side of bed and floor … i would also bonnie father towards left background corner and get some shadows happening toward camera for the bed… in the end don’t get rid of those shadows … hopefully nice and soft but try to change the light a bit from right to left and it will add a lot more interest. I would also bounce in a volume different skits to use for the wood trim … would help preserve the quality and color in post …
