While it's not impossible to get a great photo from your phone, it is very difficult because of their small sensor size.  There is a lot of noise in the photo and soft focus.  Besides those technical issues, you also appear in the mirror and would need to fill out a model release for yourself. 🙂 But honestly, it would have been better if you weren't in the photo from a sales point of view.

 

There would also be IP (Intellectual Property) violations and releases needed for the artwork on the walls and for the dining room itself (even if it is your own dining room.)

 

The table setting looks lovely and I'm not trying to be rude, but for stock photography, I would have ironed the tablecloth and cleaned up the white spot (is it a rip in the table cloth?) in post processing.

You need to upload the original photo, otherwise we cannot comment on possible faults.
