Very simple really; Coving with intricate holes to allow small rays of light to cover the room. It would come with a few options:
Basic - Simple perforated holes.
Diffused - Inside of the coving is covered with a slightly opaque film to diffuse the light slightly.
Coloured - Multiple coloured
light sources to change the mode/style of the room.
The illumination would come from LED's distributed inside the coving and the intensity would be changeable to convey different moods. Also for extra cost, customers can choose to design their own patterns.

I semi-baked this by accident with a hammer, and a handful of nails |

Handy Andy eat your heart out. |

+ for teaching me a new word. |

I love your idea silverstormer, however it's very baked in
corporate and commercial architectural lighting schemes
using fiber optic cables almost exclusively. |
|
| |
I'd like to see some links [Tiger], just to make sure. |
|
| |
I've seen it in commercial settings too. |

silverstormer, I intended to post some links for you but
the few I came up with first were unsatisfactory. Still
perusing though. I used to get Architectural Lighting, a
trade journal frequently featuring such applications. It's
been a while and I haven't kept old issues. The journal
was full of the most magnificent lighting designs
imaginable. I had considered installing a fiber optic system
in my own home, to serve for both task lighting and
special
effects. |
|
| |
I should have added to my first annotation that these
applications aren't 'widely known' by many outside of the
trade. This means that your idea is still appropriate for
the halfbakery so therefore I give you my croissant! |

There is a glass product (I think using a liquid crystal technology) that will, with the flip of a switch, turn from clear to opaque/translucent so I'd say it's doable. Expensive as heck, but technically feasible. |

Wow, you must be able to hold your breath for a long time. |
|

// these applications aren't 'widely known' by many outside of the trade. This means that your idea is still appropriate for the halfbakery // |

I don't know about that. Not being widely known just means it can't be mfd'd for 'baked' reasons, but if something already exists, it's not an original idea. |

I'm sorry [LL] but I can't find anything to do with coving on your link...please prove me to be wrong. |
