Photographing in poor light.

I have to do a few shots of my home to see if it is photo worthy for publication. Clearing the daily mess is one thing, making it look half decent is another and putting up with poor light due to the weather is definitely a dampener. Still I hope it looks interesting enough albeit with no flowers in sight, except for a few stems of hydrangeas and silk blossom. What do you think? I like the darkness of it all and I wish I learnt how to photograph in very low lighting. These are all taken with my Iphone which isn't ideal. Still, they seem to give a sense of evening bliss, when all is done and time to put one's feet up.
