The sharpest focus that i'm seeing is the stair case. I think this would look better to me, had the couch area also been in focus.
I am assuming that is a remote sitting on the couch, however, since we don't get much detail out of it, and can't really see it well, I don't think that it works being in the photo.
I like the lighting from the lamp, but I think that is what effects the focus in the picture where the lighting is low.
The angle and framing/cropping are good. I like very much how you have the couch area, and then also show the stairs. This gives us something to look at, and also shows another interesting section of your house.
This definately fits the challenge. No questions asked, this is a home.
For low light shots, try using a tripod, or if you don't have one, you could try setting the camera down on something to steady the camera. Any camera shake at all in low lighting creates unwanted blurr. Also, if your camera has this option, you could use the timer as well as setting the camera on something, so that you don't have to touch the camera at all when the shutter opens. This will eliminate camera shake, and provide a much clearer shot when shooting in low light.
I like the orange glow, I think that is much more interesting that straight white light.
