Regarding the wall lamps: In our home, all are hung at about 195 cm height and shine exclusively upwards. This way we have beautiful indirect light (each dimmable) in the living room and the dining room. In the living room, there are three of them, in the dining room two. In the dining room, we also have an additional lamp above the dining table, and in the living room, there are swivel mounted spotlights (so not recessed into the ceiling).
