Postwork Advice

Hello all. I have a large series of renders (150) I've done for a work office story scene. The finished renders are a touch dark, so I've been fiddling around in Photoshop making adjustments. I lack the eye and experience for this kind of thing, and I would appreciate if you could offer any tips on how I could improve the postwork. I've attached two images with both the before and after versions. The adjustments to each were the same:
Hue/Saturation Layer -- Saturation +14, Lightness +5
Brightness/Contrast Layer -- Brightness +8, Contrast -14
Levels Layer -- Shadows bumped up to 7
Curves Layer -- Gray point moved to Input 63, Output 71
Thank you very much!

I tend to stay away from postwork if I can help it. I woud suggest playing with the lighting and it's settings more to change the look
Thank you both
Those settings look good, are you going to create a droplet and do all the images in one go?
Thank you! Yes, that was the plan, but I actually ended up just re-doing them all. Took several extra days readjusting the lights, etc. and re-rendering so I'm not sure I made the right decision.
