Some great hints for setting up interior lighting were posted on the Yafaray forum by Stanislav Pyadishev.

The light setup is a very important part of any architectural visualization project, and I get a lot of questions about how to properly setup the lights for different kinds of environments. You may remember an interview I did with an artist called Stanislav Pyadishev, which uses Blender and YafaRay to create some amazing images for architecture. If you want to learn a bit about his light setup technique, he just posted on the YafaRay user forums a file that might help us to understand how he achieves a realistic aspect for interior scenes.
The file contains a scene without any piece of furniture, and all lights untouched. So, you can download it and open the scene to learn how he manages to get a realistic light setup. Just remember that the file was created with Blender 2.49.

Nice. I hope YafaRay support comes soon for newer Blender releases, because Blender 2.6 will be here soon enough.
I am so glad we now have a realtime raytracing renderer and it is called psycle.
psycle ???
ahahahahha XD
its called cycles bro'
@Blink Its called Cycles and its anything but real-time; if you don't have a NVidia GPU and use a CPU its slower than yafaray and LUX, so much for realtime. Its a progressive renderer but its not real-time.
Nope not real time
But INTERACTIVE...
mm sweet.
