The timber ceiling will not reflect so you need to look at what sort of ambience you are trying to achieve fist. - ie directional direct lighting, or soft room lighting. Try some freestanding lights in various places, and you may find they are a better fit for that sort of room. Lounge rooms in my books are rooms of softer lighting and flexible ways of lighting them up - depending on if on is reading, chatting or entertaining.

I reckon some directional CFL's in reflective housings would work a treat there. Maybe 2 sets of 3 way track type lights directed in various directions would give the room a bit more character and provide shadows and highlight the timber like nature gives in a forest.
