My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Hi, I think you will find inspiration if you do a detailed Houzz photo search. I am not able to give color or specific design opinions without seeing the space.

    The attached photo already has great lighting - you have cove linear lighting to accent that detail, a chandilier to define lighting over the table and general area light and it looks like 2 pinhole recessed lights a few feet on each side of the chandilier this will give accent light on the table to highlight glass and china on the table. If those are not recesssed but something else please advise .
