Planning luminous room height - experiences?

If more of you have experience, please feel free to write here, thank you very much in advance

So, we have a ceiling height of 2.65m on the ground floor and the living room is about 40m². I find that very suitable. Recently, we visited a neighbor who just built a new house. He only has 2.45m height and a similarly sized living room. The lower height immediately stood out to me and felt a bit oppressive. But the room was still empty – with furniture it might feel different again.

In smaller rooms, 2.45m is completely sufficient, in my opinion. From 40m² onwards, I would go a bit higher. Therefore, we have 2.65m on the ground floor and 2.45m on the upper floor, as there are only small rooms here.

Only 18 sqm guest room, I find that outrageous [emoji6]

260 in all rooms, upper floor without sloping ceilings.

The next height would be 272.5 .... do you think that would be too high and doesn’t look good? Or does it seem strange when you stand in the room?

that definitely looks good. We have 2.70m and it looks just right, definitely not too high, our living room including kitchen is 61 sqm.

Show some photos.

We currently have 2.58 cm and the doors are 98x211 cm.

That already looks good, but in the new building it will be 2.65 and the same doors.
