Wow, thanks! I have to change quite a lot, I see.
One reason why I hardly didn't dare to post it at first. Thanks for the detailed
advices.
I made the mistake to put the candle lights inside two different sphere sweeps,
so the walls get this colour...
To tell the truth, the walls are blue with normal map, which should imitate a
stucco structure.
So these colours are from the candle lights. ^^
A nice side effect, that I didn't change, because I also liked it more than the
blue walls before.
I didn't know what to do with the plant pots. That's a very good idea. I'll
change it immediately.
Yes,  (sheepish), I meat that construction on the floor....
