No flourescent, Led or Big Ol' Tungsten's hanging in warms spots throughout the warehouse would make it lovely and more cozy, while keeping it gritty. Bring back that warm light and it will automatically feel and look more photogenic. Pepper in smaller lights mixed with larger lights to give a really photogenic shot.
For lighting on that wall, You have two options. If you don't light the wall, grab two lights and post them at 45 degree angles from the center vertex. Keep a ratio of about 1/2 between the lights. Tweak the distance and light. Get the lights, get two stands, get two umbrellas, and a way to trigger the lights with your camera. Play around, you'll immediately find yourself with improved shots. You can get this set-up pretty cheap through Cowboy Photo Studios.

Continous CFL lights. Not amazing, but if you adjust the white balance, it won't matter what the color looks like. That is one thing you can do now. Adjust the color balance on your camera or phone, they should have something for Fluorescent and do it. Remove that green!
Now if you've got more time and money, you can buy 2 more lights and a softbox. My favorite set-up is super simple, two lights blasting the back wall. Keep the product distanced from the wall a bit on a white table with a sheet of white reflective vinyl. Add one softbox and light 45 degrees of center. Photographs=Instant Magic.
Sorry some effort involved, but change your white balance today! Google it and your camera if you are unsure.

I have the 1986 version of this, but apparently it has been updated. I have no idea what they have done to update this though.
