Rishav, These are done with the false ceiling and are called track lights.

Please share your floor plan and light requirements for suggestions.

Thanks,

Hi Suraj For a residence you can use 10-12 watt lighting fixtures. Although you can mix and match warm and bright lights, we would suggest you go for daylighting as recessed light fixtures and use another colour temperature for your decorative lighting fixtures (wall sconces or pendant lights). Please feel free to contact us for further discussion. Best, The Lazy Owl Designs

Without false ceiling you can use a good quality Silent decorative fan with LED directly - either as 3 lamps below or a single lamp shade. Select fan size & light as per the room area. Also using one or more big colorful pendant lamps (suiting your interiors) can light up the mood!

Hey, As seen in the image the false ceiling framing members are also visible at the corners, so here's a thing you can do: Remove the brown molding and finish up the depression in a complete edge box look (using gypsum sheets). Get rid of the brown and match the white paint. And so you can still hang your chandelier there with entire focus on it and not the niche. Best Regards, Team Cubspaces

That's a reasonably good ceiling height. Your dislike of the false ceiling is due to height concerns.?
Anyways some of the alternatives of false ceiling to accommodate additional lights are wooden panelling, conduit piping, rafters on the ceilings. You can also opt for peripheral false ceiling as per the floor plan that should look good..

Hi Rishab,
You can avoid creating 4" false ceiling and create 1.5 / 2" false ceilings just to let the wires hide and run within the false ceiling. I will not recommend conduits or exposee ceiling unless you wish to do a rustic interior design. You can go for Surface mounted lights and track lights. They are beautiful and are available in different shapes and sizes too.

I am sailing the same boat. I am limited to 9ft and a basket ball kid, so scared on going with the false ceiling. What options i have to illuminate the ceiling with lights without the false ceiling?

There are two situations
1.You live in your own house...then you can go for surface mounted lights
2. If you live in a complex,like in my case,they wont let you tamper the true ceiling...hence only choice you would be left with is peripheral false ceiling(minimal) ,or using the coffered ceiling pattern at some places..i personally prefer the latter one

I would suggest using pendant lights, surface mounted light fixtures alongwith tall lamps.You may even consider using fixtures that attach directly to walls for example scones...
Since lighting is an important element in interior designing , I suggest you take advice from as many professionals as you can and then chalk out your own plan...
