I am totally up with the starship enterprise light solution. :-)
In my mind I was thinking of simply replacing the existing light fixtures with something that would provide more light. Low cost solution. The current light is just not enough. It is always super dark in that room.
The room is actually a combination entry way and living room and is quite large. I posted previously about improving a chandelier in the entry way. I wonder if two matching chandeliers would be the answer? I'm not very good at picturing how things would look.
Here is an image that shows the whole area. The size of the room makes lighting challenging. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to spend a lot more time going over them this evening.
Oh, and we will address the beams at a later time when we can remodel. We are hoping to install hardwood floors and then paint walls and ceiling and maybe put in sky lights but that will have to wait a year or two.
