I’d put some sconces on the tall wall. Something simple and tasteful. And ideally some recessed can lights in the angled ceiling, maybe with a gimbal so you can adjust the angle of the light.
The fact that the checker pattern on the doorway doesn’t continue around the rest of the trim really bugs the snot out of me. Please carry that all the way around. Ideally, do all the trim that way, since it’s all the same “texture”. And yeah the carpet/rug all needs to match or go, no half measures.
100% agreed on the ceiling fixture. In that small a space, I’d take it all the way out. If you need a fan there for airflow, there are good low-profile options out there. Ideally I’d do away with it altogether, though, and see about possibly adding a mini-split if it’s too uncomfortable in the summer/winter.
If I think of anything else I’ll edit. It’s a fun room, I’d love to steal the idea for a game room some day. But this implementation needs a touch more work.
E: yknow, some floor cushions and a low coffee table might be nice there by the window instead of the hobo batchelor setup. It’ll make it seem taller, too.

That is a better suggestion than my rope lighting. Of course, It’d require a licensed electrician to do… looks suspiciously
Another excellent suggestion, but this:
is the best idea. There are some really nice, attractive in-wall options that would do a better job than a ceiling fan, with more versatility.

This is the best idea of all. Full carpet, low chairs or beanbags, and a really low coffee table; this would be a completely different room!
