Obviously...I'm doing the "bathroom" thing here.
What else belongs in the scene ?
(that would make it appear more "bathroom" like?)

Nice, but the wooden floor (cells pattern ?) does not look very
bathroom-like, although it looks nice. The walls look good too.

For a bathroom i would suggest some washstand in front of the mirror,
maybe some kind of board with the washing bowls built right into it.

    Making it smaller (both the file size and the room size). It is a rare
bathroom that has so much empty floor.

Well, it's rare to see a bathroom with this much bare floor.  And most
have at least one frosted window someplace.  How 'bout a laundry hamper?
 More clutter on the console... shirt studs, cufflinks, a forgotten
necklace or earrings, toothpaste, toothbrushes, cup, hair brush, hair
'things' (scrunchies, clips, etc.), hair dryer, TP roll near the toilet,
and, of course, the thing that seems most obvious to me... a tub?

Older bathrooms sometimes have a small door in one of the walls to give
access to the water cut-off valves for sink and tub.

(Of course, if it were /my/ bathroom, you'd also have to model little
ferret 'accidents' in the corner).

Stuff to add:
-Some kind of rug in front of the dresser.
-Also those "C" shapes ones that people put around the toilets.
-Toilet paper?
-A valve on the pipe behind the toilet.
-Plant.
-Some kind of door stopper so that the door knob doesn't hit the wall - or
maybe a small dent in the wall.  :)

Suggestions:
-Replace the dresser with a counter, and add a sink.  It would look much
better.  Right now it looks like a toilet is someone's bedroom.
-The lights would look better if there were more of them on both sides of
the mirror and not above the mirror.

For bonus points:
-The poser model from a few posts away (from Robert J Becraft) looking at
herself in the mirror.

Um, what kind of bathroom is this supposed to be?? It certainly doesn't
resemble any residential or commercial bathroom I've ever seen.

If it's supposed to be residential, and I suspect it is:

1. Make it cramped, or at least more cramped than it is. Even nice
houses rarely have bathrooms this large.

2. Take out the clock (unless you really don't want to, but a bathroom's
a weird place to hang a clock) and replace it with small pictures or
shelves or something. Also take out the chair and the can of soda; there
should be no room for the former, and food has no business being in a bathroom.

3. Replace the dresser-thingy with a sink of some kind. Add a
toothbrush, brush/comb, toothpaste, jewelry bits, razor, shaving cream,
mouthwash, can of air freshener, etc etc as appropriate. And soap and a
hand towel.

4. Add a tub or shower stall. There's usually a small window next to this.

5. Add overhead lighting.. the mirror light by itself would be rather
stark-looking. And on the subjet of lighting, make the other mirror
lights actual lights.. only one appears to be lit. Overhead venting (to
let steam and.. er.. gases out) is another possibility.

6. If possible, do some remodeling work on the toilet.. it's
recognizable, but jarringly crude. It might work better if it were
against a corner, so that someone sitting on it could reach for toilet
paper mounted on the wall to his side, but you'd have to redesign the
room for this. Then again, looking in through the doorway might be a
better idea anyway.

7. Add a toilet tissue dispenser, and possibly some extra rolls sitting
on the toilet or floor.

8. If possible, make the towel longer and fluffier. And take out the
sharp wrinkles, it looks like a really worn pleated skirt or something.

9. Add a closet and/or medicine cabinet.

10. You have a bathroom, or should; go look at it for more ideas.

	Towel at the right height. Tile instead of wood parquet floor. Paper,
both reading and sanitary. Door opening on the other side. A cover on
the toilet.

	This reminds me of something I might find in an 19th century building
that got indoor plumbing around 1910 and not renovated since. Is that
the intent?

A Jacuzzi, Shower stall, bath mats, and anything else you can think of
for a bathroom
