If you want realistic looking reflections, you need something for the 
object to reflect. Even just a blurred out pattern on a sphere around 
the scene or an empty room would help, but that's the problem. Without 
reflections you can't see the reflectivity, and that is a major part of 
what gives it a 3D look.

Another thing that might help would be stronger highlights.
