Lighting Recommendation for Single Car Garage Space

I am in the process of converting a single-car garage into a space where I will have a single car on display in a relaxed and "man cave" sort of setup. I have two objectives in lighting the space (dimensionally the space is 279"x197" and the ceiling is 111" high) 1) The car is the star in this space. It is red with a black interior. 2) I have some artwork on one wall in the garage I would like to light independently. My leaning is to have dimmers on both circuits. This is not a workspace or a hospital ward; I want to avoid a super bright/cold/antiseptic feel. What it will be is a place to relax with a little music, my wife, our car, and a cold beer. In what direction would you steer me? 

By using my Lumen Estimation Calculator in the interim, it appears that the space would be evenly illuminated by 8,265 lumens. 

Based on the details provided, I might recommend utilizing ~19 feet of the 2700K or 3000K CENTRIC HOME™ LED Strip Lights for Home & Residential for a warmer installation. 

These lights can be installed within the ceiling cornices of the space within our flat or cornered aluminum channels, and controlled using in-wall power supplies and wall dimmers. 

While we also have the LED Shop Light Fixtures available, these products are not available in the warmer color temperatures that you mentioned a preference for. 

If you would like to test which color temperature works best for your garage, we might recommend purchasing a few of our A19 lightbulb options to ensure that they provide the right illumination. 

If any of the bulbs wind up being unneeded, simply let us know and we will gladly provide you with a prepaid return label for their return.
