I think your sky is overexposed. Try to make it less bright by choosing a tonemapping with less contrast.

lower the precedence of your Fog or raise the one of the glass. This value determines what material "cuts" into another.
A good example is a water filled glass, where the water mesh is modeled to overlap into the glass, but by having a lower precedence the glass cuts the water mesh inside and you get a gap free model that can render precisely

A great effect btw!

So much win!!!
Awesome experiment/project

Thanks for the coments! Thank you Zom-B for the tip I didn't know that

a nimble tripper

This looks absolutely awesome CTZn . What's nimble tripper btw? Can't find any good translation for this

ah that's right I made this up. Nothing nimble but limbo. Dystopia... huh dyslexia XD

Here is some of my recent work

Under water test with bump map

Kitchen design render. I am grateful for advice.

probably a punctual light to generate highlights would not hurt tremo

edit: on a second look there are highlights, fair enough. You could try exponent maps, then.

Thanks CTZn,

I want to try it. Which is more important exponent map for furniture or for the walls? Or both?

You can see the that the room has no ceiling and the scene was illuminated with white background?

Ah no, I really thought you were using an emitting ceiling, good one.

On exponent maps: for realism, both ideally since perfectly clean surfaces are simply not realistic. It also depends on what you want to convey with the image.

edit: oh and finally exponent maps can also be about subtelty.

Aha! Thats what makes it look so flat and boring, despite the promising interior. Spend some time on lighting as well, perhaps even before you start with more detailed wrk on the surfaces. When the lighting is this flat and homogenous you'd have to use exaggerated values for exponent maps to see an effect.
