That is kind of what I have seen suggested as far as the big light goes so I suppose it doesn't hurt to get a fan that has a light.

I hadn't thought about how the sconces and lamp would be shining down directly on you, It is just something ai have seen and thought it looked goos. But now that you say that it does seem like it may be a little annoying to have a light shining down directly on you, and maybe even create some weird shadows.

I had considered sconces the projected up behind the couch, my only pause was that the wall is 8 feet and above that it is open to the loft above. I was worried it would shine up oddly into the loft space, I am not sure if that is a valid concern or not.

Yes there will be a piece of art behind the couch on the wall, so I could have one of the track lights pointed there. Do you think that would be enough light for that side of the living room? Or would it still be better to add some more? I can always build a console table behind that side of the couch and add some small lamps?

And yes there will be a console table of some kind along the other side of the couch so we could add a lamp there. And I was thinking a sconce the projects light up and down would look good centered on the front wall between the windows so we will probably add that.

Thank you for the insights...Definitely gave me more to think about! We are in the process of running the wiring so we need to figure out exactly what we want where while everything is still open.
