I obviously need to learn to read. Sorry! I would have a hanging light, not flush, because it is a big space out there and you can make a feature of it. Have a look here: http://www.thelightingsuperstore.co.uk/Outdoor-Lighting/Lanterns-and-Flush. They have galvanised, stainless steel, etc. etc. And also John Lewis have a few, and some with matching wall lights.

I think there are a few options. The first would be to lower the height of your prints on the wall. They are too high and make the ceiling look lower. A general rule of thumb is that the centre of the art should be at eye level. Naturally there are exceptions but with yours I would simply lower them. I think this would make a difference to the lights immediately. The texture of them works well with the curtains so I would keep them. The light to the foreground needs to be the only one so move the side light. It looks as if it is on a side table and the ceiling light to the foreground is above this. If is is completely above this insert a coloured flex and lower the lamp to shoulder height. If it is just off, have a flex that is long enough to be hooked on the ceiling and then drops down. Your room is lovely btw!

So your suggesting wall lights and lamps only. No recessed spots or led strips along beams? We will be having tv unit in alcove furthest from window and a sofa facing fireplace just placed in front of doors on either side. The other half of the room will be a dining area temporarily. Will wall lights be enough and how many? I prefer symmetry in my rooms also. The ceiling to floor is approx 7ft. I’ve read to make a room look higher than it is uplighters are best is this so? If our plans work out the dining area will eventually turn into a quiet area with comfy chairs bookcase etc. My husband is not a fan of wall lights says it restricts you if u want to change furniture around. I love them but with a low ceiling I am unsure how high up they should be not just for best lighting but for furniture arrangement and if they are on a wall where u walk could be an obstacle? I have also posted about my spiral staircase but I put it in the topic design dilemmas but it is about lighting also.
