Thanks guys,
Yes, you are right about the textures. Need to work on the wood.... The upholstery on the lounge chairs is ugly too, but I had small piece of scanned fabric and a phone call description of the colors... Clients!
The same with the carpet. Attached is the initial shot of the lounge area..Which was considered too dark.
For the lobby - I did not keep the initial renderings, It was too dark for the client. The ceilings are dark gray color which defuses most of the ambient light, so I had to add a few lights for the walls and the ceilings to make the colors more "welcoming". Unfortunately most of the times the realistic looking rendering is not the best one for the marketing point of view.
Thank you for the comments.
