I tried all sorts of things to make this look realistic but this still looks like render, it still has that render-y feel to it which I don't like. I tried changing materials, played around with lighting, changed hdris and changed whole models but still nothing helps. I think the pillow makes it really unrealistic and maybe some materials but I think you guys can point it out better than me. Thanks!
Pillows are too big and stiff (that's what she said).
Window frame seems like it could use more detail.
Artificial lighting seems reddish?
The mapping of the wood grain on the side of the headboard seems to be horizontal instead of vertical, also the bump on the headboard grain seems to be a bit overly aggressive.
The exterior view, besides being unappealing, is weirdly blurry and the horizon line seems to not match the perspective of the composition.
