A space that wide with a ceiling that low is always going to look a bit shit, unfortunately. The impressive subway stations linked are a combo of quite high spaces, and narrower spaces with lower ceilings, which can look good. But "broad wide space, low ceiling", there's really not a lot you can do.
A common approach for this sort of big low-ish train station is a partially or completely glass roof, ideally not flat, and that can look okay, but obviously not an option in this case.
It doesn't have to be like this specifically, but it demonstrates the point: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=moscow+subway&iax=images&ia=images
