    Why is this happening? When I turn lightmap static on strange shadows appear, when I turn it off everything looks fine, but I need it to be turned on so I can use reflection probe. Does anyone know how to solve this?

    You need it for reflection probes? Are you sure? Can't you just select the probe and press to bake it?

    Will it create the same effect? can you be a bit more specific. :)

    Do you want to improve the lightmaps. Or do you want to not use lightmaps and just use reflection probes?

    Raising the resolution a bit might help with those weird shadows.

    I guess you use realtime/precompute?

    Are your UVs ok (are you using Generate UVs?).

    Is the floor one big plain?

    I"m not sure what resolution you are talking about, but I guess about the texture one (I use 4k)
    Are my US's ok? think so, have a look (no I'm not using Generate UVs)

    And you actually solved half of my problem with the word (plain) I've change it to a cube floor and the strange shadows are now gone, but here is why just (half) I still got them on my bathroom walls, If I turn my bathroom light on they are going to shine frew it around it.

    Here is how it looks now:
