I agree witch the Arch Man- just the sun+sky lighting will look better, maybe you can search for a hdr map made in forest, so it will look even more natural. Now it is visible that (for example on the ceilng) quite a lot light comes from the low level (forest) what won't happend in real word. Also more decor props would be nice- kitchen equipment like cutting board, jars, bottles, frying pan, maybe a picture above the wooden sitting piece on the right hand side.

Ok.. what I think: -the crown molding suppose to go all the way up to the ceiling, without the shadow gap -the wood is too orange -the wood texture mapping / texture on the bottom cabinets is not looking good- the repeating dark vertical texture patterns/ fragments -not sure why some of the elements/ objects are that bright (books, the figurine in the middle, sofa)- looking like pasted in photoshop.. not real -sun falling thru windows also not too realistic- no 'real looking' shadow of the framing -generally speaking- no 'real' illumination, seems like you put some artifical light source in the middle of the room with shadows turned off (cabinets are not casting shadows, sofa the same, books too bright without any reason- something 'smells fishy' there -in the interior like that I would put some ceiling lamps to light the book shelves -the exterior background image is just a bit too dark.. not much, maybe 25% brigher would do the job not sure why the render looks artifical/ fake so much- please be honest- did you use any filling light without casting shadows? the model is good- I think it would look much nicer when you use just the vray dome and some hdr map for illumination and add the book shelves ceiling lights I've done a quick project similar to yours some day - not a great one but it illustrates the points I've made in the comments

Isn't it the m+m vol9 plant model? as there is not much more in the scene only comment I can give you is the bad countertop tmarble texture mapping- on the edge above the golden handle (texture is not continous, but different one on top, edge and side- real stone would have continous pattern) also, the plant is very close to the window and no shadow from that little bucket shows. (from the window frame too)
