This is a kitchen I designed and painted for a client in fl The first photo is what it looked like before it was painted. You can leave it raw and add a clear coat or stain it any color. This is a beach cottage, so she went with paint.

How high is your ceiling if only 8' I would not put in false ceiling. This is a small space for all you want in it so I would keep it very simple.These pics are form a LR and DR in a 11' x25' space and we had 9 1/2 ' ceilings so we put in crown molding but that was all. In your case i would put the T.V where we had an empty fireplace space.

8.75 would be fine to it's only a difference of 3 inches.. Are you going to do up lighting? In the second picture that ceiling is really set up for it and that opens up a lot of options on your finishes and textures on the ceiling.

Hello Sumit The false ceiling lights used here are neutral white light... wattage is not higher then 10watt. As for pendent lighit fixture it has edison bulb in it. You can check the range of recessed led light fixtures in square or round shape with various brands like phlips, wipro, bajaj, orient, siska etc. As an add on you can check the lights with color changing option to give you room a whole new look with playing woth colors as per choice or mood.
