I think it's a good idea. Codes differ but a rule of thumb is 10 receptacles on a 15amp circuit and 13 on a 20 amp. Many homes have dedicated circuits anyway like your fridge and some have a freezer. Those plugs are mounted chest high to distinguish them.

It wouldn't be that bad. You can find companies/people that charge a $100 to run a circuit. If you are lucky the panel is close to where the room is. Then your lights wouldn't dim. LOL

On a side note, does anybody use a whole house Surge Suppressor? They are easy to install with 3 to 4 wire at the panel and can be had for $150. The one that goes on your electric meter "Meter socket surge suppressor" install in minutes and need no wiring is MY fav. They can be had for $50 to $100. Great for peace of mind.

Also many utility companies will install them for $5 to $6 a month.
