Generally it looks really good, well done. But something is wrong about the perspective on the floor. Normally I am really no perspective-fundamentalist, but in your floor there are several points where the lines are running too, hence there are several places where the lines meet and that looks really strange. :)

The tiles to the right are conflicting with the cupboard. One is pointing NW and the other is NE. If the perspective was correct, I would not be able to see the right side of the cupboard.

Yeah, the floor is out of perspective.

1.  Try and keep all the tiles the same width, just make them shorter (distance-wise) as the go back farter.

2.  The upside-down "V" tiles have got to go.  They look funny.  All tiles should be rhombus or trapezoid shaped (no, they should be the quadrilateral, not DJ Qualls shaped... wokka wokka...)

I guess, set a vanishing point at the top of the screen right in the center.  The draw one line dividing the screen.  Then, about 10-20 pixels away from that line, draw another line from top to bottom connecting with the vanishing point.

If you have any questions, PM me... I have a few examples I could show you.

Mage has pretty much got it right. The lines towards the centre shouls be almost 'vertical' and the further they get out, the more angled they get.
