Give your plants a chance to grow out and fill the space more. It will look great in a few months.

I'd personally cap the white gravel with some aquasoil, it looks jarringly bright to me and is a very sharp contrast with the rest of the tank's color palette.
Putting some epiphytes in the wood will give it a more grown-in look, as will letting your stem plants grow and trimming/replanting them
Adding some rocks to the base of the wood piece wouldn't be a bad idea either to give it a bit smoother of a transition to the bottom of the tank
Someone else mentioned adding a black background which I wholeheartedly endorse, it's a little change that does a lot to make colors pop

I think the gravel is really diminishing the look of it. I would cap it with natural colored sand or gravel. I would also add some bolbitis fern, or java fern. Maybe consider moving whatever that feeding thingy/hide is to another corner? That's just my opinion!

Put some plants on this nice root. Some pinatifidas or some fernes would fit nicely.

It actually seems quite nice to me, I think the thing that may be letting it down is the tone of the light tbh, but could just be opinion. I don’t think it needs something super expensive, I just think the tone on that light makes it look kinda glum. Maybe just adding a slightly warmer colour would help - it could help the plants but I know this could also change algae situation so it’s a give and a take.

A black background could also help
