Enzie:
You can apply atmospheric perspective in a number of ways using almost any paint as long as generally objects that recede get either darker or lighter based on their initial value, and things get grayer.
I think what may be bothering you is the intensity of the objects in your background. Their bright hues and rich intensity seems to make them come forward too much, yes? I don't know if you want to go to the efforts to address this in this painting, or just apply it to your future works.
You can even apply this in portraiture with a figure up close. If you paint say a gentleman in a 3/4 view in a dark suit, then you would have one shoulder closer to the view than the other. If you made the farther shoulder just 1/2 a value lighter and added just a touch of gray into the paint of that shoulder, then it will appear to recede more than the closer shoulder. You could even do this with the pupils of the eyes.
This same technique is used in painting rounded objects. As the form turns, the value changes and as it nears the edge, it gets slightly grayer. It will help things turn more realistically.
