You are quite right.
Most objects in daily life diffuse light in interiors.

All materials are light diffusers/mirrors. (otherwise we would not see them).

In real life the dust particles in the air help in this diffusing.

Most light (during the day) comes throug the windows and gets diffused/reflected inside a room.
At night, the light from out lamps and lights has the same effect.
