lighting dilemna for new construction

I replied to a post in new building with the following, but want to see if anyone here has any suggestions. I am about to go over our electrical plan. In our current home we have all kinds of lights working together, can lights, overhead lighting, sconces and lamps, but I'm having difficulty in our new build. We have huge windows all over the house in order to take advantage of the views. We aren't thrilled with blocking the view with overhead lights or chandeliers in the dining room or vaulted living room. We were planning on doing only can lights except in bathrooms, but I hate to lose the layered lighting effect as well as the decorative design element of a great fixture. Anyone have a similar problem and if so what was your solution. The ceilings are 10 feet and the window goes up to 8 foot header.
