ceiling/floor lights close to the wall, or, some concealed lighting behind some coving/a cut out in the ceiling. Have a read of http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?pid=4343433&op=1&o=global&view=global&subj=528260024&id=545067241
If you're having a property built, you'll be looking at energy management? lighting control systems?
Teej is right, some round-pin 5a sockets for control of table/floor lamps is a wise idea!
wall lights depend on what you've got throughout the property. If you're ultra modern (read: steel fittings) then somewhere like delta light could be a good port of call.
feel free to drop me a message if you want to chat a bit further
