What a beautiful space! Can you do table lamps on end tables next to the sofas, to start? As you use the space more, maybe it will become more clear what you want and need?

agreed you may not need to add any ceiling lights, and as to the fan, you not need one any bigger than there and a 4ft. rod would be fine.

With only one power source in the ceiling step one would be to have an electrician out, he may be able to drag power up from the wall, or something and put "pancake" junction boxes in. I would first say settle in and set up your lamps etc.

Do you have floor outlets anywhere in the middle of your space? A basement beneath your home from which you could wire them? Just a thought...

There might be outlets under the carpet. Can you see boxes from the basement?

you may be able to add those, but buried under the carpet would be a fire hazard so I doubt that, its also not something you would cover, because it actually adds value.

65" fan.............get ready for take-off lol.

I would use the corner of the room where the stairs are to house the furniture, then perhaps put a desk under the window by the fireplace.

worth every penny to address the ceiling. recessed lighting and bright white paint. (and a new color on the wall!)

maybe save up for some skylights down the road?

while you're up there, think about installing a beam (or beams) and painting them white. it will add so much to the room

this is a simplified beam. just a beam down the center, 6-8 can lights, and one hanging light (which I assume will be your fan) If you don't need a fan, consider doing a light like shown in the next pic

Beautiful room...perhaps paint it lighter and use a darker shade for an accent wall where the fireplace is.

Buy the better bulbs with the maximum lumens.

You could create a wood "valance" at the ceiling over the windows and continue that feature all around the room -- or just on parallel sides of the room -- installing recessed lights within it.

You could create a partial drop ceiling if you add a 4' wide flat ceiling across only the highest point (covering the point) to put framing and wiring and boxes for recessed lighting and / or ceiling fans within that channel to hang lights from that 4' width of ceiling.

You could create a raised curb in the ceiling over the existing box for any ceiling light or fan and add multiple boxes to the framing within that curb for multiple lights where you had only one.

Gosh guys, thanks so much. And I’m still so embarrassed I posted these pictures. I’ll post ones when we unpack. We do plan on putting outlets in the floor when we get our hardwood in. We can’t move the couch in front of the window because they recline and need space (I regret this furniture purchase and it’s too new to do anything about it now.) There is the possibility to get electricity from both the floor and the flat part of the ceiling. The angled part which is really where the “family room” is will be a challenge. I think recessed lighting at the flat part (18’ up) is just too far up. I do like the ideas of the wood valance. It’s too bad that they didn’t plan on the lighting when they built the room.

Vaults that high are hard to light from the ceiling, and have little space, I am not sure it is worth putting recessed lights on just one side of the room, it will look off-balance. If you want to light both sides of the room from above I suggest Tech Rail lighting or Track lighting, with track you can even swag a fixture off of it to hang down. But truthfully I would first get everything in its place, get the lamps lit up and see where you are at.
