need lighting advice
#16
Those last pics help a lot. The small existing spots seem fine, but high ceiling lights like that can only service as accent lighting. You can't expect those to light the entire room.

I'm in no way a lighting expert, but I think it needs to be done in layers. You need more/other sources of light—not more light pointing down at you. Seeing the wide angle shot makes me think some sconces would help on the side walls. A chandelier could be the answer, but you already have a pretty distinctive one in the adjoining area. I think the sconces (lots of sizes and styles which will influence the design of the room), table or floor lamps, and possibly additional accent spots will fill the area quite nicely while adding interest and complimenting the architecture.
