Hello.
almost every time i have this problem of lighting a interior scene.
i used 3 planes for with different light temperatures and a simple image for background.
what would you do in this case differently ?

THANKS

First of all do not use specular material for windows but a glossy one with a low opacity to have some transparence, this will avoid caustics and noise.
Sometimes I also use a background emitting light, it helps but may increase noise.
PMC instead of pathtrace will also be usefull.

My 2 cents

And also you need to know what final effect you want to get. This render looks very natural (like amateur photo). If you want to do rendering like profesional foto show us some reference picture and maby we halp you.

there are not glass on the windows at at all.
