if it's looking too gray/brown/green/whatever, try a few things:
- find/identify a second primary texture you'll use that contrasts with the other (in this case find something that contrasts with the grey; you already used BROWN1 which works well, so you could try using it more)
- change any surrounding flats to create contrast (in the last shot you already used the blue carpet, so you could try using that more too; flats matching BROWN1 would work well too)
and it always helps to find an additional secondary texture, like METAL2, which you already did. of course, this method of choosing two primaries and a secondary is not something you have to adhere to or even something i always do, but i find it tends to work well if you choose the right textures. another example i've used before:
primary: bigbrik1 + gray7
secondary: tekgren2
i tried to recreate the scene in shot two and very hastily add some detail, which brought me to this. certainly not the best, but i think you can at least see some of those textures working together nicely.
