Kill the shadows on the ambient light source. You got shadows coming from light straight above. Maybe put in a ceiling and hang a light there also.
The woodgrain around the trim, dont sweat it. From the distance viewed and in that light, you wouldnt notice it in real life either.
The reflected light on the vases is even all the way from top to bottom. Need a gradiation there. Going to be less light as you move down.
Not bad though.
