hi , not being able to see your room makes it a bit awkward , however how about mini trunking under wall cupboards to nearest socket at floor level and surface mount socket , other than that i don't see a solution . At least the trunking will not be seen under pelmet unless you purposely look for it . Regards and good luck.
