I've had success with my fake gi rig that I use for out doors, adapting it for indoors -

adapted rig =

4 spots lights p0inted downwards at 45 degrees from all compass points - say at 15 to 25 percent strength and 30 percent shadows - but chose a colour not white, use a large angle

then group these

then duplicate, and point them up, chose another colour(s) to simulate reflected light from the floor and walls, say 8 percent light, no shadows,

do a few renders

then decide where your major light source (s) will be and introduce this last light(s) maybe with soft shadows

the percents need to be tweaked a lot but render times much faster and you have more control of most parts of the light setup

 

I've been painting a lot of bad still lifes recently, but it's interesting how faking a reflected light (needs to be coloured usually) will add a feeling of veracity
