Living Room C&C and help needed

Hi

I don’t fully understand the problems in the two highlighted regions.
Region 1 I find the most difficult to understand why it has rendered with such bad samples if one compares it to the rest of the image.
Region two I thing the problem lie with in the way I have setup the lights in the kitchen area. I have attached an image of what the lights in the kitchen looks like. This I have modeled and placed a VRay light between the two pieces of glass. Its not touch the glass, but still very bad samples in this area.
Where am I going wrong?
Any other C&C on this image/design is most welcome.

Thanks

I would try much more samples and making sure all materials are vray. If that doesn’t work, then add a little dim direct light from the camera direction

Hi

Which samples would you increase?

My LC is set at 1300 and IR at medium with HSph at 50 and Interp. samples at 20.
For DMC sampler I have Noise threshold at .005 and Min samples at 12

Thanks

looks to me like definitely an indirect illumination issue. can you post up your full irradiance map and light cache settings???
