If you have cathedral/vaulted ceilings...
What kind of lighting do you have? We're putting on an addition and DH doesn't want to use high-hats (which we have in our current LR). We were looking at cable lighting, but I'm not sure if I love the look (very modern).

Cable lighting? So 1990's... High Hats or what we call Recess Lighting I think is the best.

Yeah the only reason he doesn't want to use them is because you can't insulate behind them.

We have Hi-Hats. You need to buy IC Hi-Hats so you can insulate around them.

If your DH doesn't want hi-hats - you can stick with no overhead lighting at all... some electric sconces and lots of lamps. It will also make the room more cozy.
edit for grammar

We have no overhead lighting, but lots of tall windows so it's pretty bright in there during the day, and standing lamps for brightness at night.
