Seems to me a bit too flat and evenly lighted. Without enough "form lighting" forms tend to look flat (unrealistic). I'd recommend:

1. Re-arrange your light to provide shadows - you can keep them light (as they would be in such a reflective environment).

2. Notice the reflections on the metal surfaces? You could increase the reflectivity of the ceramic and painted surfaces (ceramic more so) to get similar reflections to help express the 3D of the forms. Look at any good auto body render to see what i mean (but be more subtle than that).

3. Add glow effect to the visible light sources.

4. I'm suprised the ceiling is not lighter. People paint those white so as to aid the room lighting. You could go into that material and boost its light sensitivity.

5. For max realism you may need the very slow rendering Radiosity render. It's the only method that simulates light bouncing from one surface to others.

Oh, that door. Is it white or light colored? If not, make it so. You can also set the material to be brighter.
