This room gets it right. The whimsy comes through the light fixtures above. At the same time the adequate amount of illumination is achieved. Mistake 7. Putting recessed downlights in a high ceiling for ambient light. This results in a lot of wasted light and a very dark space. Light originating at high ceilings needs to have a very focused, tight beam spread with enough center beam candle power, such as that from a ceramic metal halide or high wattage halogen source. Better yet, using wall-mounted or pendant sources to reflect light off a light, matte ceiling surface often provides much better illumination than punching a lot of holes for recessed downlights.

I like the way the lighting is placed even though it is a high ceiling.

Lighting - consider some fun track lights in the dining room, especially over the dining table.
