I do love that industrial look, but we're going for a bit of a cottagey look in our kitchen so I don't think it'd be appropriate. Mostly I think the value is in not having to chase cables into concrete ceilings / walls but I've never really known any dropped ceilings to look anything other than super modern. Basically I want our lights to be traditional pendants over key areas with under cabinet lighting for the worktops. Can dropped ceilings look anything other than modern? I've only ever seen them used to recess spots.
Old school tech, I love it. We're not quite that cottagey (it's a 1930s art deco block) but if I ever get myself out to the country, that's definitely happening.
