Recessed LED lights that are flush with the ceiling give off lots of excellent lighting.

Hmm that fixture should be lighting up that room fairly well, do you have more than one dark wall?

I would add recessed lights around the room and get rid of the ceiling light. A single light in the middle of any room is the worst lighting there is.

You could argue the cloud light is "fun," doesn't every fashion style come back around in popularity every 30 years?

There is nothing unique about the fixture, it just mounts to the central ceiling box and has a couple screws into the drywall at the ends. It looks like only 2 tubes of the 4 are lit though.

If you want to keep a single central fixture, you can update the fluorescents to LED tubes and keep the cloud as is. Or you can get another fixture, but it should be surface mount to throw light to the sides as well. They make LED slim boxes that are color choosable and will keep your room bright. Recessed is not a good solution in most small laundry's, especially with an attic hatch.
