I would suggest you go for false ceiling but keep it minimalist. it helps create great uniformity and effects with light. u can play around a lot with lighting. getting it done at a later point is a big mess and a pain.

Thank you for the inputs. My main concern is the damage caused by water leakages which would show up few years after possession. What kind of false ceiling would be immune to it and is there any preventive measure can be taken up before false ceiling work starts?

I don't think any false ceiling is immune to water leakages..unless something new has come up in the market. I would suggest you reach out to an interior designer or a false ceiling person and they will be able to guide you better.

I will, Thank you!
