Anyone have experience doing indoor shots of

Things to deal with are, window light, narrow kitchens, shiny surfaces, etc.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I mean this kindly, but if you have to ask questions like these, perhaps
you should decline the job. There are a lot of things that you haven't
said, like, is this a paying job, is the designer a friend or relative,
or is he after a cheap or freebie set of photographs, will there be
trouble if your shots don't meet his approval?

Working in tight spaces, selecting a viewpoint to minimize perspective
distortion, dealing with uneven lighting, avoiding distracting detail
seen through windows, avoiding converging/diverging verticals, and other
problems all conspire to making this sort of photography more difficult
than you might think, if you want the results to look professional, or
at least not amateur.

You may be capable of doing this level of work, but you haven't given us
any idea of your experience.

Window light could create problems with contrast, if you have strong sunlight beaming through windows, so I would tend towards using your own lights on a more overcast day. ...
