1 – the door is superfluous. It’s access to the water main, which is accessible from the other side

2 – the fire detector should be to the right, out of sight 

3 – the silver rail should be white, to blend in

4 – terrible spot for a light switch, it jars the eye and ruins its flow

And the trickiest of the 5…

5 – the trim changes either side of the door. Now that’s all you can see, too.
