We'd need more information really. Inside or outside? What time of day are you looking for? Do you want completely photorealistic, so that it fools the eye, or "hyper realistic" where its too perfect but great for product brochures, or slightly softened or otherwised biased to give a particular effect (cold, warm, menacing, neutral, welcoming, happy, sorrowful)?
The best starting point I would say for anything heading toward realistic is to use HDRI, and enable GI, and then start tweaking the settings from there toward whatever goal you have in mind. Color saturation etc in the HDRI will allow you to change the mood (or realism), the HDRI image will set mood and time of day and time of year (cold winter, warm summer, midday, etc), and GI settings will mostly control quality.
HTH!

Still can't give specifics, without seeing the scene, knowing time of day etc. Same advice as before applies - start with a suitable HDRI, adjust intensity and saturation to adjust mood, use GI, and adjust those settings for the quality of the lighting, repeat until satisfied.
Lighting is of course an art, more than a science - if any one light set up gave "perfect" results, then we'd just have that one set up and never bother with anything else :) Tweaking your lighting and adjusting and using the different options is where the art comes in, and those always have to be tailored to a specific scene, there's no magic formula for instant success in any and all scenes.
HDRI and some GI though generally give amazing and realistic results right away, but whether it is THE results you are after is hard to say! Why not fire up those two features, render, share the results, specify what you want to look different, then folks can offer tips for those particular things you've specified while you are also trying various tweaks yourself.
HTH!
