I took in the living room. Because I wanted a black background I used my tv, maybe not the best way.

Ok, so you used TV, as a black background, I would recommend you to look into flashes. So you can get black background without any backdrops or TV in your case

Can you give me any advice about flashes? I have a canon.

Nice shot,
In my opinion, a little cropping this from the left side can take great work, or black brush in the PS or LR, this green in the bottom left corner can look better when it will be in black.

Personally I have this:
Canon Speedlite 600EX II-RT Flash

But what's your budget ?

It could look much better and sharp with a flash on the camera too.
