Does anybody have any ideas for some decorative but functional lighting to go above my computer monitor?

I've noticed that my image on Zoom calls is fairly dark, and I think some lighting on the wall above my monitor would help. However, the standard utilitarian webcam lighting (like the ring) aren't really what I want to be looking at all day.

Any and all ideas are welcome!

Hard to say without knowing the layout of the room and your style.

I have installed a LED strip on the back edge of my desk facing the wall. It's controlled by an ESP32 running WLED, so it can do effects or be a static light. When I eventually get my act together I want to add LEDs to the back of the monitor as well.
