Three different things come to mind:  The first is a composite of 2 or more
renders with different light settings, the second is using HDRI in MegaPov, and
the last is something that occurred to me when you mentioned the rooms are
differenced out of a larger object.  Why not use the same pigment for indoor
and outdoor objects, but a different diffuse value?  You could have the outdoor
light much brighter to compensate, and the indoor diffuse would remain high so
that a greater amount of light would be reflected and the indoors would be
brighter.
