I was concerned about using led strips with diffusers because I rent my apartment and was mainly considering putting them around the ceiling by the crown molding (via 3M tape); but I never thought of the baseboard idea. Much less prone to falling down / coming out of place. I think I will give that a go! I also really like the couch idea for movies. Thanks a lot man!

Great job. I think LEDs facing outward on the mirror would look nicer, even with the diffused housing. Great vid! I recently put a vertical strip in a corner, but mounted onto a 20mm wide flat aluminium bar I had lying around, and faced it into the corner so its floating, about 20mm away from the wall. The light spills onto the corner and is diffused, just like in the your 2nd example with acoustic panels. I much prefer it this way compared to facing into the room where you can see the face of the chanel, the light spill is much nicer when bounced of walls in my opinion. Love your videos, thanks so mcuh for sharing!
