Are room heights over 3 meters uncomfortable? Experiences

Hello everyone! I would like to get a few opinions on room heights of 3 meters or more. Do rooms with over 3 meters in height really feel as uncomfortable as halls? Is the energy demand that much higher? How tall should the windows be then? My questions do not relate to old apartments! Best regards Regards

We lived in such a house for several years. I did not find it uncomfortable. Only one room was unpleasant; it had only 10 sqm of floor space, we called it the silo. We used it as a dressing room. The windows with roller shutters extended to about 30 cm below the ceiling. Two large window fronts facing the garden, with [Raffstores], were floor-to-ceiling. Both good. In any case, high rooms also need large windows.

The energy demand must be higher. There is always a temperature difference over the room height. It is warmest under the ceiling, and with higher rooms it has to be even warmer at the top to reach the desired approximately 22 degrees "below." So you have more wall and window surface through which energy is lost, and additionally a slightly higher temperature level inside. It then costs a bit more.

High ceilings appear narrower in proportion, which is more noticeable in small rooms. For the toilet and pantry, it may not matter, but for a guest / study room, it is more noticeable.

Windows must increase linearly in height, otherwise the lintel casts too much "shadow" regarding the daylight that reaches the ceiling.

It always depends on what you intend to do with it. Is it generally about raising the ceiling by half a meter or more, or does it only happen on individual walls because, for example, the roof is a shed roof or the living room is "lowered" to create a bit more volume and effect.

In the children's room, I find 3.5 or 4m great, as you can install 1-2 staggered levels with wood and a lot of craftsmanship, creating a play paradise. In your own bedroom, I would only find it stylish if I also install a loft bed myself to be able to use the space underneath sensibly. In the kitchen, it makes sense to stop where the 90cm hanging kitchen cabinets end.

In the end... totally a matter of taste and wallet.

I have an open roof with a ceiling height of 4.60 and on the ground floor 2.90 I would do it again.

Open roof undersides are, however, a completely different genre in terms of proportional effect than simply "raising" floor-parallel ceilings.
