I just do not like the image used for exterior, needs a little depth blur and desaturation, maybe even a reflection to show there is glass.

yes, you are true. there is no glass in the window due to faster rendering. I am not satisfied with background image, but it always was my problem.

OK i give my vote to #10 image .

5 or 14
6 is also nice

9 and 11 for me. The door handle and lock placed in the middle of the door, makes the scene feel out of scale, like short people would live there.

17....I like the darker wood against the white wall.

I like the bright, clean look of no. 5. Not a fan of busy walls.
Why is the casing on the door head thinner than the casing on the jambs?

[boofredlay]

17 is my choice.

I think that the metal balusters in an otherwise wooden staircase are rather perverse.

These are great.
#9 for me, but I would really like to see #2 with other colors as the concept is quite interesting.

best selling staircases in Czech rep. are with stainless steel components.

Two thoughts:
My first impression was just wondering what other colors would look like, as I really liked the way the white accentuates some of the shapes, particularly the staircase, by forming a nicely proportioned border. But I would also like to see the dark color taken down the greyscale to see how the effect of softening the contrast looks.
My second though after looking at them all again:
Have you ever used backpainted glass?
You get the subtle reflections but the color of your choice. It can be very effective.
There are specific paints available now, but we used to do it by using a clear auto body undercoat primer and lacquer sprayed onto the back of glass.
Cheers and Merry Christmas.
