The TV does look quite odd. Why is the base of the TV so small?

I like the way you laid out the game controllers. Looks very "lived in".

The walls bug me... nothing seems to match at all. You kept one side of the wall adn the floor the same as the template and, for some reason, only changed the one wall. The TV definitely needs work too.

Yeah, the TV is more modern art than anything else.

And the controllers appear to be alien feelers reaching out to mate with the couch. I wouldn`t lay them like that stylistically, until you get more clutter.

The only real suggestion I have is to un-blackify everything. I love outlining everything in black, but in isometric it`s better to use it minimally. Try to use darker shades in place of black - I think most isometric tutorials mention that.

EDIT: I mean, don't outline everything in black. I know it's a tough habit to break :)

u mean like out line everyting in black but all the inside black lines make them gray or someother color that fits in more with the color of the furnature.

at the moment im working my way through verious tutorials and bits and bobs.
