ᐅ Planning Clear Ceiling Heights – Any Experiences?

If any of you have more experience to share, please feel free to write it here. Thank you in advance.

On the ground floor, we have a ceiling height of 2.65 m (8 ft 8 in) and the living room is about 40 m² (430 sq ft). I find that very suitable. Recently, we visited a neighbor who just built a new house. His ceiling height is only 2.45 m (8 ft) and the living room is about the same size. The lower height was noticeable to me right away and felt a bit a bit confining. However, the room was still empty – with furniture, it might feel different.

In smaller rooms, I think 2.45 m (8 ft) is perfectly sufficient. For rooms of 40 m² (430 sq ft) or more, I would prefer something taller. That’s why we have 2.65 m (8 ft 8 in) on the ground floor and 2.45 m (8 ft) on the upper floor, where the rooms are smaller.

Only 18 square meters (193 square feet) for a guest room – I find that unreasonable [emoji6]

260 in all rooms, upper floor without sloping ceilings.

The next height would be 272.5cm (107 inches).... do you think that would be too high and not look right? Or feel strange when standing in the room?

That definitely looks good. We have 270cm (106 inches) and it looks just right, definitely not too high. Our living room including kitchen is 61 square meters (657 square feet).

Please share some photos.

Currently, we have a ceiling height of 2.58 m (8 ft 6 in) and doors measuring 98 x 211 cm (39 x 83 inches).

This looks quite good already, but in the new building the ceiling height will be 2.65 m (8 ft 8 in) with the same doors.
