How to get light into a room when rendering?

You can use Daylight Portals in Render Settings>Edit, which allows light from the Sun / Daylight System to cast rays through the windows/glass. This applies to sunlit scenes only ( not with artificial lights).
You can also place interior lighting (studio lights are a good way ) to get some light into the scene--or use specific light fixtures per design intent/requirements.
Try checking "enable soft shadows" as well, as this helps with light from artificial light sources.Last edited by cliff collins; April 14, 2014, 01:38 PM.Cliff B. Collins

It looks like an exposure setting to me. In the render dialog are you setting the lighting to "interior: sun and artificial" this should set the exposure closer to what you need. You can also adjust the exposure setting manually after the render is complete with the adjust exposure control at the bottom of the render dialog.Jeff Hanson
