go to a lighting show room, take pictures of the space and any ideas you have. They are best suited to help you. also have a budget. the how to part is nice but most consumers have no idea that the pendants above are probably 300.00 each. Budget for lighting! take advantage of the pro's in the lighting world, its all we do!

Pendants seem like a better geometric fit.

pendant lights looks nice only if place above a table like a breakfast nook or island. hanging them freely does not complement their look. since there is no island under the ceiling try to embed recessed lights in the ceiling. alternatively track lights will also look great if you need brightness.

Greetings from Aura you have two options here go for indirect wall lights or wall lamps direct pendent lighting from slab point would also look good many ceiling lights options available suitable for no False Ceiling wall lights are always better it creates ambience.
