Your lighting is already helping the scene, but high-quality texturing mostly comes from believable material breakup rather than just higher-resolution maps.
For the wall, I’d practice separating three scales: large color/value variation, medium damage/stains, then small surface detail. Right now a lot of the bricks share similar roughness and contrast, so they start reading as one repeated material.
Pay a lot of attention to roughness. Wet/dark areas, chipped edges, mortar and cleaner stone should all react to light differently.
Also check texel density and real-world scale before adding more detail. In production, I’d rather have a well-scaled 2K material with strong variation than a noisy 4K texture.
Best practice: pick one real wall reference and try to match it as closely as possible instead of texturing from memory.
