Dear Forum Members,
I have planned standard interior doors with a clear opening height of only 197cm (door frame clear opening) and a ground floor ceiling height of about 270cm (minimum 265cm).
Currently, I have doors with a clear opening height of 222cm at a room height of 272cm and I think they look good.
I am not sure if I will regret choosing 197cm doors.
That’s why I thought about starting a collective thread here, preferably with photos.
What door heights (preferably clear opening height of the door frame for uniformity and easier measurement) and room heights (clear ceiling height, measured from top of finished floor) do you have?
Are you satisfied? If possible, how much extra did a higher door cost?
To keep things fair, I’ll start:
Property: 3-room condo
Door height (door frame clear opening): 222cm
Room height (clear ceiling height from top of finished floor): 272cm
Satisfaction: Satisfied
Extra cost: Was standard at the time.

Well, I was more referring to the additional costs.For some general contractors, it is cost-neutral if you choose the taller doors. Fingers crossed that the extra charge will be minimal!

@nordanney Does the door specialist get on your nerves when he says 2m (6 ft 7 in)?No, it’s really a matter of personal preference. But objectively, small doors don’t fit well proportionally in tall rooms.I wouldn’t exactly call it “objective.” I personally like (taste is subjective!) having a lot of space above the doors (ceilings over 3 meters (10 feet), 1.97 meters (6 feet 6 inches) standard doors). For me, that’s what makes the ceilings look tall and not just proportionally larger.
