help, I know nothing about lighting!

I have a fairly large basement family room with a low ceiling that gets no natural light, which I hate. I need to figure out what kind of lighting would work best to not make me feel like it's a tomb during the day but not be overwhelming in the evening. Ideas?

A few more details:
I hate glare.
Fluorescent lights overhead in stores give me headaches.
As I get older, my low light vision is getting truly awful, and I would like to be able to work or read a book on the sofa in the evening. My friends places seem too dim for this?

So Mefites, where do I start? Track lighting? Floor lamps? Special "natural light" lamps? Or special bulbs?

I welcome both general ideas on how to approach this and specific recommendations.

I'm picking some things up at Ikea tomorrow, so recommendations from there might be good, but that's definitely not a requirement.

Thank you!!
