Example below: The wires need to run up behind the wall to the ceiling (see image below). A return was created between two existing walls (you will need to create two columns) - through which you can run the wires if necessary. The screen is hidden in the beam above the painting. In the foreground of the photo is another "beam" which actually contains the projector. It has an access panel again covered in the mesh and there is a flap that can be removed or opened/closed when the projector is in use. US is way more advanced, so I believe other Houzzers can step in...

You will get huge "orange/yellow" cast off lighting. Anything else you put in there will look as if it is under an orange camping "tarp". Not a great look. As a human, you will probably look like you are in the last stages of liver failure. Honestly. Your skin will take on a strong yellow/orange tone while you are in the area. Not many people can handle that type of colouring. Orange is powerful. You only need a tiny bit to make a huge statement. You only need a lot to make a huge mistake.

We just moved into a new house. It has high ceilings. Kitchen, Living and Family room all flow together in a large room. The walls have been painted and we dont want to change the wall colors at this time. I am interested in getting some advice on the type of furniture to buy, rugs (colors, patterns), wall decor (painting, clocks), furniture arrangement and the colors to use. The large island also has a pull-out breakfast counter. But, we want to add a nook table. Please suggest ideas. Thanks.

This is a fabulous room. It oozes a bygone charm that you would lose by adding false ceilings and tube lights. Please don't! Go all out to preserve this magnificent floor and the beautiful furniture. That mirror is superb, as is the old painting. Keep the wall colour as is and change the upholstery after polishing and keeping the beautiful wooden furniture. The upholstery is mismatchedat present. But the different styled armchairs look very comfortable. Keep them. No modern furniture will give you such comfort. When you re upholster, refrain from choosing firm foam and such nonsense. It is far better to have good quality down or cotton, which moulds to the body shape. Invest in a high quality traditional patterned Persian or Kashmiri carpet for a restrained stroke of colour. Your upholstery should pick up colours from this carpet. So should the curtains. Please never even consider vinyl blinds, horizontal and vertical. If you tamper with this room and remodel it to be 'modern'- you will lose a treasure.
