On the non-tech side, you might want to consider painting using two colors. Two or three walls one color and the remaining walls another color. We've done this in our living room / dining room and again in our bedroom. The different colors (if chosen well) punch up the room.
When we did the work, we hired someone to help pick colors. We picked up some samples from the paint store, and figured out some options for the other things in the room (like drapes) and the designer helped up pick great colors. It was worth the $100 or so she charged.
Another thing, when you're electrician figures out where he needs to cut out some drywall, you might have your general contractor actually cut the hole; since he'll be the one to fix the hole. Our electrician cut huge holes when he did stuff, and then our general contractor had to re-cut the holes anyway (not placed where then need to be for patching up the holes.
Good luck, have fun, and take pictures.
