Need Help with Lighting Low Ceilings in Basement

13 years ago
last modified: 13 years ago
We're doing a gut renovation and need to figure out what lighting to put in our basement playroom. The room is 14'x19' and the ceilings are only 6'-11" high. Recessed lighting is an option but we're concerned about having a Swiss Cheese effect with recessed lighting for that sized space and also, there's a corner of the ceiling that will be too shallow for recessed lights.

I've included the plan for this room so you can see what I mean.

We've been debating between two rows of recessed lights with a slim surface mount fixture or two (but we're concerned about the low ceiling), three rows of recessed lights (too many?), and what to do about the corner that can't have a recessed fixture in it (sconce on the wall?). Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
