Soft studio lighting setup for many repetitious objects

I'd like to emulate a day-lit office environment that doesn't look sterile. But, I'm not showcasing a product, I'm trying to capture a realistic scene with many miscellaneous objects, like cups, paper, pens, a keyboard, etc.

What lighting setup do I need to create a high quality office lighting setup where most of the light is coming from outside the windows?

    Hi Sid,

    It is probably the simplest, to use an HDRI for that. Poly Haven has many free, high quality, CC0 HDRI's to choose from: https://polyhaven.com/hdris

    You can also use the Sky texture, it does a good job. I'm not sure but I think it only works with Cycles at the moment.
