ᐅ Do tall doors fit well in rooms with standard ceiling heights?

Hello dear forum,
We are currently deep in the house planning phase. To estimate the financing, we want to define the key parameters early on. One of these is the ceiling height.
At the moment, we are considering a standard height of 2.50 m (8 ft 2 in). This is what we have in our current apartment and also in my parents’ house – from our perspective, it is absolutely sufficient. We are also planning rather small rooms (for example, living/dining room separate from the kitchen). In smaller rooms, high ceilings don’t seem to work as well, as I have already read here.
However, we have started to second-guess this. Since we are both quite tall (and our children, if we have any, might even be taller), we plan to have tall doors — about 2.11 m (7 ft) in height. Our question is: do tall doors look “squeezed” in rooms with standard ceiling heights? Has anyone experienced this and can ease our concern? We do not want high ceilings. But before regretting it for the next 30 years, I’d rather clarify this question in advance.
Thanks in advance for the feedback!

What I mean is, a full layer of half bricks will be much more expensive for him than a layer of regular bricks. Height compensation bricks wouldn’t exist if they were prohibitively expensive compared to cutting them yourself. They are regularly needed, and you can also store them in containers, so next week you’ll have some left over from the previous construction project ;-)
No contractor would consider using the jumbo format, which corresponds to three standard brick lengths at once, exclusively, thinking they can then vary story heights only in 25cm (10 inches) increments. Being able to lay three courses at once is useful—but it’s not a quantum leap.
