Can you give us a picture? Maybe then we will be able to tell you how to make it look realistic.

Well you could try Abmient Occlusion or radiosity(GI)

Have a look at SFX's tutorials, They will give you a jump start on GI (Global Illumination)...

I had the same question, and figgured out, that ambiente oclusion is one of the most important rendering option to make a rendering fotorealistic.

But often it is also a question of your created materials.

send me a picture for details...

In this scene i would definitaly use Radiosity.
Look at Hypa.tv for some good setups. And the cooker should show some reflection. Maybe HDRI?

It needs some better shadows and you need to position the lights more carefully in your scene, and like I said Some ambient occlusion and radiosity would be very helpful (you can find those under the rendering settings)

It´s important, to use depth-blur in your scences.

add lots of lights lol..... i did a sence that used 127 lights and it looked brilliantly realistic
i sugest that u put 3-4 light at the roof aand 3-4 at the window (the window lights must be square)

add lights
add new textures ( the real world is imperfect)
and the proporcion in the models are bad. correct it

I think that detail is what would bring it more into the 'real'....There isn't anything on the walls, and that makes it feel a little funny. Maybe a bin in those holes towards the back? It looks like somebody has just barely moved in. Gotta make it look lived in. :)/>

The real world is imperfect, so go in there and fiddle with your verts. The dings and dents will make it look as if it has been used..... Good luck!!
