ᐅ Ceiling height – What height did you choose for your ceilings?

We have approximately 2.80 meters (9 feet 3 inches) floor-to-ceiling height on the ground floor and upper floor, calculated from a floor structure thickness of 19 cm (7.5 inches).

This is my topic.
I have spent a lot of time thinking about the sense of space.

Every room has finished flooring.
Ceiling height is 267 cm (8 ft 9 in) in all rooms, and in the living room it is about 4.70 m (15 ft 5 in) open up to the ridge.
This is a bungalow.

The shell construction is complete, and all rooms feel spacious even though some are smaller, standard-sized rooms.

Living room / kitchen: 56 m² (602 sq ft)
2 children’s rooms: 12 m² (129 sq ft) each
Bedroom: 12 m² (129 sq ft)
Dressing room: 8 m² (86 sq ft)
Utility room: 12 m² (129 sq ft)
Bathroom: 12 m² (129 sq ft)
Bathroom: 5 m² (54 sq ft)
Office: 12 m² (129 sq ft)
Pantry: 3 m² (32 sq ft)
Entrance hallway: 20 m² (215 sq ft)

All interior doors are 211 cm (83 in) high, and the front door and patio doors are 235 cm (92 in) high.

Ground floor 2.75 m (9 ft) and upper floor 2.60 m (8 ft 6 in) (finished ceiling height), doors 2.50 m (8 ft 2 in) throughout. As already mentioned above by @blaupuma, it feels spacious and we like it. If it had been approved, we would have built even higher rooms (2.80 m / 9 ft 2 in on both floors).

But at some point, there is a price jump for aluminum windows.

Higher rooms are not only advantageous, so I believe it is best to choose a compromise here.

We have a finished room height of 2.70 meters (8 feet 10 inches) both upstairs and downstairs and find this to be the optimal height for us. We paid an extra charge of around 2000 euros (including taller windows), so it wasn’t very expensive. Previously, we had 2.50 meters (8 feet 2 inches), and the difference is clearly noticeable; it simply feels much better now.

Best regards
