Not sure if surface mounting tube in a domestic situation is going to help when you come to sell.
I've got a fairly clear picture in my minds eye of how I think it'll look.
You may of course be correct when you say that it'll look a bit busy in a smaller space- I'm perfectly willing to adapt the design if that is the case.
I think it's one of those situations where you have to really commit to something- doing it half arsed will look crap, but I think (hope!) that making it a feature will work out well.
It's a 2 bedroom flat with a study/box room, it'd be marketed at "young prof's, no kids yet", so hopefully the target market will be receptive to a bit of thinking having been put into the design.
