Editing: Crop; clone out small white card on back wall; adjustment layers for levels, hue/sat & selective color; burn midtones on brightest part of back wall, pillow and green carpet on wall; noise removal; resize; smart sharpen; use sharpen tool on rolled up rugs; save for web.

I hope this does well for you. It is always tricky when you have dark areas (such as on the bottom). On non-calibrated monitors, this may appear as solid black, obscuring the carpet in the foreground.

I would like to have seen a tighter shot. The black shapes in the foreground don't add to the picture.

I am not sure if the shadows on both sides were used to frame. If yes, it was distracting. If not, I hope next time you crop it tighter. Colorful.

The structures (carpets) in front are too dark and disturbing. Try dodging those slightly.
