My 16 by 20 dark basement recroom needs brightening up!

The 16 ft north wall is stone and we have an efficiency woodstove on that wall and a large 6 ft wood rack. French doors lead out to the back garden. The ceiling pot lights do not sufficiently light the room and very little natural light comes in.
I am looking for a novel finish to brighten up the room and blend with the stonework. At this point the walls are unfinished drywall.
