John,

I would check the Shine settings for the washed out floor and wall, as well as the Shine setting for the dark wall.

John,
It is because of the light cans inside the cabinets. They create a shadow on the cabinet wall and reflect on the other wall creating the wash out. Below is how I would light this. Less is more in lighting.

John,
Remove the washed out wall, move your overhead lights back and up the intensity a bit. Set all the light cans to 10%.
