2nd pass on My Sci-fi environment

EDIT 2-19-2018
I figured I'd put a few result shots in the op.

I recently made a post on a piece of mine and got some good feedback. Now I'm going through the entire scene and making sure the level of secondary and tertiary details are adequate but not overdone. I also want to get more human readable shapes and objects (handles, buttons, latches etc) in strategic places.

Here's a shot of some new detail I'm working on:


Here's some areas I'm looking at:

1. The flat areas of the floor (without any trims) look empty, but i don't want to overload the space and i want to make sure any lines I create point the eye in the right directions.


2. I'm not entirely satisfied with the make-up of this wall. I'm thinking about redoing the entirety of it.


Any thoughts or ideas are welcome!

Here's a few shots of some changes:
1. I made guiding lines to break up the larger plates on the floor and inserted height differentials here and there. I want to use the one crossing the divide as a small power conduit and hope to have some sort of cable incorporated into it.


2.  Here I wanted to build up the stairs a bit and create some sort of apparatus on the curved wall that can emit light from behind it to lighten up one of the darker parts of the scene


3. Here I want to convey a small readout that monitors the flow of energy from the piping. I want to change the pipes into more energy conduits rather than a simple pipe as well.

Quick Update
So far I think I've finished the secondary details. My next step I'll need small finishing touches in a few areas.

PatrickSF

Just about finished. Now I have to trim it up and place my decals.

I dont have much feedback but it looks nice, good job

Thanks a lot! I always love to let a piece rest for a few days and then come back to see it with "new eyes." The biggest issue I had before was the lack of fine detail for the eye to chew on.

Here's a quick shot of the finished trims and decals.

Fine Tuning post processing and lighting. I'm also currently experimenting with a little bokeh Depth of field.
