Hi, just some ideas... not related to rendering.

 

I think youre going to the right direction but you have to maybe improve the color and shade aspect a bit.

---

 

I think that the dark wood color and the light color of the floor and wall goes together well. But if you like to have a strong contrast at say your yellow furniture, you got to have a complimenting set for that. By that I mean its either you go classic (dark and light) or post modern (Michael Graves).

 

Your wall by the TV could be pastel blue to complement your yellow sofa and go for lihgter shades of brown for your woodwork.

 

But to me the color styles are torn between two, so I guess, choose one. Either Earth Tones or Pastel.

 

There's a great book by Martha Gill, "Color Harmony" it has some great ideas for color combinations.

Your ceiling should refelct your spaces. The sitting are by the TV should be light with say, soft cove lights. I think the circular recess does not go with the theme you have going. The chandelier is a bit too classic for the scene.

 

Observe the spaces you have that is created by the furniture you have placed, from there, draw out the ceiling.

 

In lighting you have several choises, two major ones are general and task lighting. On general lighting, the light for the area should be enough say, to allow for illumination for regular evening tasks. This can be in the form of a set of regularly spaced recessed downlights.

 

For Task lights, these you already have at the bar (bar lighing) and maybe add some for the paining you have on the walls and soft pinlights for yout TV shelving. These are better represented by pinlights and spot lights.

 

All of these goes into the design of your ceiling.

I think you're almost there.

 

Hope this helps, Ulysses
