The floor appears to be using blurred reflection of some sort. Two 
things you might consider are (1) making it variable reflection as well, 
since I would expect that from a floor like this, and (2) reducing the 
diffuse value of the texture's finish. With constant reflection, this is 
easy; multiply the diffuse by the amount of non-reflection. With 
variable reflection, you can guess at a good value (even an incorrect 
one will help), or take the time to calculate one...

I wish there was a keyword similar to conserve_energy that reduces 
diffuse the way that conserve_energy reduces transmit.
