Sorry, but if I saw a room with a row of ceiling-height outlets on a wall,
I'd just think it was... weird...

There are exceptions, of course, where you might want a single
ceiling-height outlet or so (like near a window, for decorative lighting.

You have something against weird? It's no uglier than a
bunch of featureless cover plates.

If you need an exuse for their presence,
Run a shelf along the wall under them,
or stick nightlights in them and split the
outlets so that half of them are switched.

To display your extensive collection of decorative electric clocks.

An electrician friend installs all of the chandeliers he removes
from customer's homes in his garage's ceiling.

He must be up to about 50 of the things in operation by now.

Quite a sight.

Actually when the wiring that room will be done there will only be one
j box that will require some kind of cover /outlet/wallclock/doorbell
etc. 1 wire comes in, 3 go out to outlets, like a spider. The rest
others are next to the service panel. When the basement is finished,
the service panel will be in something like a walk in closet. The j
boxes around it will be easy to access.
