Can anyone help me light this indoor scene? The shadows are so harsh or the noise is so much in every render. Can't get it to look good at all.
I am just using an hdri and the oversized light bulb shown.

For the noise the only real solution is more samples: how to avoid noisy renders in Cycles. As for the harshness of the shadows see: soften shadows projected bh HDRi – Mar 06 '19 at 21:28
