Following some advice from Andy Pieper, I added more yellow to the lamp light. I think it helps the OSL. I also added more black to the shadows, and painted a white light coming from the open door. Next, I took off the walls and painted the carpet inside, with an oriental rug design I found somewhere. This is the first time I ever tried painting a fabric texture. How did it turn out?
The family and apartment interior will all be painted with a very warm palette, leaving the outside cold.
The carpeting looks great. It actually looks like fabric. Are you going to put something on the walls? They look a little bare.
Yes, the walls aren’t painted, yet. I don’t know what to do with them, which is why I haven’t started them yet. Any ideas?

That’s so pretty! I don’t know if I could pull it off, though. And the walls are flat, not paneled. I’ll consider it.
Oh, I KNOW you could pull it off. You are more talented that you sometimes give yourself credit for. :)
Awww…shucks.
But I’m also worried that too much detail could distract from the figures. Let me get them done, and in the scene, and see how it looks.
