Two suggestions:
First, the scene is too "clean", try making additional "dirt" layers for 
the textures. Some sooty smudges on the bricks and blackening on the 
grate in the firepace, for example.

Second, the lighting doesn't look right. What is the purpose of those 
two little lamps if they don't produce the light? Even if they aren't 
the main source of light, there should be some detectable. You should 
definitely use light fading for the lamps, though, they wouldn't provide 
much long-distance illumination.
I would make the whole scene a bit darker, and make the two lamps the 
main sources of light.

BTW, is it just me, or does that label on the bottle look familiar? :-)
