Coffered ceilings aren’t that expensive so long as you have 10ft ceilings.
If you have standard 8ft ceilings you need to raise the ceiling to meet the 8ft code, which can be very expensive or infeasible(if you dont have an attic above the room.).
The poor version is to put a couple layers of drywall up to create the pattern, it does not look great.
I have seen people who did like 2 layers on top of the original drywall and threw in some quarter round and denture, trashy. One was single layer and it was poorly mudded and separating at the transition with some screw dents, so I am wondering when it is going to fall off. I had some real “retirement project” vibes from the house, so I am guessing grandpa was “handy”.

I’ve done regular drywall ceiling more than once and I can’t imagine how you would make good looking coffered ceiling out of drywall layers 😂
That is the neat part, you can’t.
