@paulraphael, sounds like a good plan for your room. Have you looked at the new Philips Hue smart switch? I've been waiting for years for something like this and it's finally arrived. Hard buttons for four scenes (we have one set up as an "off" command), plus a rotary dimmer which can be set up to control all the lights in the room or just some subset of them. Surface mountable so no wiring needed and battery powered so it doesn't have the clunky self-powered manual switches which make my teeth itch on the old round Hue controllers. I think you said you had Hue elsewhere in the house so would tie in with that too?

Edited to Add: the other thing which we did with our kitchen was to use these plaster-in recessed fittings:

They take a standard GU10 lamp but give a really clean look to the ceiling, especially when they're not on. You'd need more than the 4" cans you've got specced at the moment I guess but might be a nice option. I'll take some pics of them in our place if you're interested.
