You're getting ahead of yourself with textures and detail. I think you should take a step back and re-evaluate your value organization. Here is a quick paintover showing how you might want to simplify the value structure so the image has a clear read. Currently it is too dark overall and not well defined.

Also, I am not a fan of the soft brush over the lights like that. Be careful too to not have pure white highlights then everything else pure black. get some nice middle values in there, even if the painting is low key.

Oh, and the staircase looks a bit funny. I think it might be a bit steep or something, I dunno.
