I can't tell from your images what's not to like. I only get good results if I have the Lighting Quality set to Best and object AA/accuracy set to 1 pixel. I get very good results if I have Lighting accuracy set to 1 pixel instead of 16 pixels.
The rest I can do is hope I have decent materials/textures for my objects. They influence the lighting in a scene as well.
What is your light source? Sky light? Or a glowing plane outside your windows? What is the brightness of it? 100%? 150%? 750%? I've found that brightening up a light in Carrara 3 only makes a render brighter, not better.
Also. Make sure your objects are to scale. For example: the wall is 96 inches high and not 1.5 inches high. The rendered result is the difference between a dollhouse look and a real living area look. Some of the living rooms in the Scene Wizard are small enough to fit in a shoe box. Resizing them to full-scale improves their scene renders 10x.
I ordered the C3 Handbook from Amazon the other day. I hope it has similar details mentioned in it like the ones I've been discovering on my own through trial and error.
