Ceiling height: 17 questions and answers that will change your ideas about comfort

The topic of this article is ceiling height. In it, the reader and I will have to find out what restrictions apply to the minimum and maximum height of the room. You will also learn about methods for changing it up and down, both physically and visually.

Range

Minimum

1. What is the minimum ceiling height of a dwelling that does not cause discomfort to its inhabitants?

It is believed that it is equal to 2.4 meters. However, in practice, the answer depends heavily on the anthropometric data of your family. Agree that people with a height of 160 and 210 centimeters have slightly different ideas about comfort.

The lower limit of comfort is a kitchen with a height of 240 cm.

Maximum

1. What is the maximum ceiling height above the floor? Why do developers avoid building housing with ceilings higher than 3 meters?

Offhand, there are two reasons:

The higher each individual floor, the more expensive the house as a whole. With rising cost square meter housing is losing its competitiveness. Most potential buyers are limited in funds and, with an equal usable area of ​​​​the apartment, they will choose a cheaper offer.

In addition, with an increase in the height of the room, heating costs increase: following the height of the flow, the volume of the apartment increases.

In practice, heating a high room is additionally complicated by the stratification of air by temperature: heat is collected under the ceiling, and the floor remains cold.

Balance

1. Which standard height ceilings in Soviet-built houses?

In houses of different projects, it is different. I will give some examples from my own experience:

• In the city of Khabarovsk, I happened to be in a building built by Japanese prisoners of war shortly after the First World War and the October Revolution. The distance from floor to ceiling was 4.5 meters, which made it possible to build a mezzanine with a sleeping place or a small office in the living room;

• In the 1960 Stalinka building, in which I lived for several years, the ceiling was at a height of 3.2 meters;
• Built just eight years later, the Khrushchev building in Komsomolsk-on-Amur “pleased” with a height of 250 cm.

Such low ceilings were associated with the program for the construction of social housing adopted under the unforgettable Nikita Sergeevich. From 1958 to 1985, houses were built with the most compact apartments and without any architectural excesses.

1. What will please more modern houses?

• The height of the ceilings p44t - a series built from 1979 to 1999 - is 2.7 meters;

• The standard in a new building in recent years is 2.7 - 3 m.

1. And what is the optimal height?

In my opinion - 260 - 270 centimeters. This value will save you from feeling crowded, but will not force you to overpay for heating. In any case, it was this ceiling height that I chose when building my own attic.

The interior of my attic. The distance from the horizontal section of the ceiling to the floor is 260 cm.

non-residential premises

1. How low can you go suspended ceiling In bathroom?

2.3 - 2.4 meters is a reasonable minimum. If you make the bathroom even lower, the person is above average height, standing in the bath or shower tray will experience significant discomfort.

1. And what are the requirements for a toilet or a combined bathroom?

The same. The exception is attic: if it is located under an inclined section of the ceiling, the distance from it to the floor will in any case be less. When designing this room, consider the height of the tallest member of the family: he should not touch the ceiling with his head.

1. What is a comfortable height in a sauna or Russian bath?

2.2 meters with a height of the upper shelf 0.95 - 1 meter. Such dimensions will allow you to swing a broom and at the same time not suffer from overspending of firewood when heating the room.

In the washroom or rest room, it is better to raise the ceiling lining to 2.35 - 2.40 meters. It does not need to be heated to such a high temperature as a sauna or steam room, which allows you to increase the volume of the room.

Tension, suspended

1. What is the minimum height of the stretch ceiling from the ceiling of the room?

Ideally, about 4 centimeters. The distance that the stretch ceiling eats up can increase in two cases:

• If the slab has noticeable irregularities and differences. In this case, a distance of 4 cm is laid off from the lower overlap point;

• If the space between the canvas and the ceiling is used for mounting built-in lights, ventilation ducts or air conditioning lines. Everything here is determined by the dimensions of the fixtures or the cross section of the engineering communications that you plan to lay.

1. How much height will a drywall suspended structure take?

With an even overlap - about the same as the stretch ceiling takes, about 4 cm. The lowering height is the sum of the height of the walls ceiling profile(27 mm) and drywall thickness (12.5 mm for wall and 9.5 mm for ceiling).

1. How much will the ceiling level decrease when it is sheathed with plastic panels?

When constructing a suspended structure along a frame from a profile, the same simple arithmetic applies as in the case of gypsum boards: the profile thickness is 27 mm, the panel thickness is 7 - 10 mm. Total 34-37 mm.

However, on a relatively even overlap, the panels can be mounted not on the frame, but on glue or silicone sealant. Then only 7-10 mm (panel thickness) is lost.

Problems of the rich

1. How to reduce the height of the ceiling in the room to save on heating?

Any suspended structure or stretch fabric will reduce the heated volume of the room. However, a cold ceiling in conditions of limited ventilation can begin to freeze, which will lead to its rapid damage by fungus and the appearance of puddles of condensate on the floor.

A smarter solution is to leave the height of the room the same and use an underfloor heating system. It redistributes the temperature inside the room, providing maximum heating where it is needed - at floor level.

1. How you can use the excess height of the living room?

I already mentioned the solution: the space above human height is used for habitable mezzanines. They can accommodate a bed, an office or a nursery. With a room height within 3 meters, compact mezzanines are used to store rarely used items.

The poor also cry

1. How to increase the height of a room in an apartment building?

Here are a couple of the most obvious solutions:

• Remove the wooden flooring along with the joists. It will allow you to win at least ten centimeters. To level the slab floor, use a self-leveling floor, for sound insulation - linoleum with insulation or laminate with a thick (5-10 mm) and dense (for example, cork) substrate;

• Remove the screed poured over the ceiling. Its typical thickness is 5-8 cm. On the first floors, a layer of insulation 3-5 cm thick is often laid under a reinforced screed; in this case, the height of the ceiling will grow by an impressive 8 - 13 cm.

Of course, after removing the insulated screed, you will have to seriously be puzzled by the insulation of the basement under the apartment.

1. How to make a room higher in a wooden house?

And here I will offer you a couple of ideas:

• Hem the ceiling not along the beams, but along the cranial bars stuffed on their side surfaces;

• Cut out the floor beams and lay on the ground on top of the concrete preparation (a layer of low-grade concrete) insulated.

In the latter case, window and door openings will noticeably rise relative to the floor level. Be prepared to cut an extra crown and change window and door blocks.

1. How to visually increase the height of the ceiling, if there is no way to physically raise it?

Play with contrast. The human eye has interesting feature: light objects seem more distant to him than they really are, dark objects seem closer. If you paint the ceiling white or just the lightest possible color, it will seem taller to you; the effect can be emphasized by decorating the walls with a dark finish.

The reverse is also true. A dark ceiling with light walls will look lower than it actually is.

A couple more tricks:

• High baguettes, moldings or just white stripes at the top of the walls will further increase the apparent height of the ceiling;

• Similarly, gloss and in general any finish that has a mirror effect will work. All surfaces that fully or partially reflect the interior of the room will deceive your eyesight and make the surface of the ceiling look more distant than it actually is.

1. How to visually increase the height of the ceiling if no major repairs are planned in the room?

Lighting affects the visual perception of distances in the same way as the light colors of the finish. Brightly illuminating the ceiling with relatively dark walls, you will again make it higher. For this purpose, you can use spotlights, spotlights or bright led strip hidden behind a ceiling plinth.

Conclusion

From the article you learned what is the minimum and maximum ceiling height. At your disposal there is always the opportunity to change the size due to design tricks. As always, I would appreciate it if you share own experience ceiling design. Good luck, comrades!

If you want to express gratitude, add a clarification or objection, ask the author something - add a comment or say thanks!

Ceiling height is a very important indicator of comfort and quality of rest in the apartment. Not only the volume of the room depends on this value, but also the effect of various design decisions.

What happens

Usually the height of the ceilings in the apartment varies from 2.5 to 3.2 meters. Two and a half meters is the minimum ceiling height at which there is no discomfort and there is no feeling that the ceiling is “pressing”. All modern new buildings adhere to these standards and do not build apartments with a ceiling height below 2.5 meters. Typically, this value in such apartments ranges from 2.6 to 2.8 m. Apartments with a ceiling height of more than 3 meters are usually built in elite residential buildings, where the cost of one square meter is an order of magnitude higher than in other new buildings. In addition, the height of the ceiling in the apartment also depends on the quality of the construction of the house, since after buying the apartment there may be irregularities on the floor or ceiling that “steal” a few precious centimeters.

standard height

There are no generally accepted ceiling height standards, however, all construction companies adhere to the standards outlined above. The only parameter on which the ceiling height in the apartment clearly depends is the cost of 1 sq. m. of living space. The more expensive this cost, the higher the ceiling is.

What do you need

Apartments with high ceilings are needed in order to provide the maximum level of comfort to their owners and to realize a wide variety of design solutions. Such apartments allow their owners not only to decorate the walls differently or hang a multi-level suspended ceiling, but also attach, for example, a chic chandelier that will complement general style rooms.

When building a private house, the owner must be guided not only by his preferences, but also comply with current regulations. This is especially true for the height of rooms for various purposes. The height of the ceilings is also important in apartments, because it affects the comfort of living and the possibilities in the design of rooms. In different eras of construction, different norms were in effect. The indicators also differ depending on the purpose of the room. We will tell you what is the optimal ceiling height in a private house, apartment, and also describe what it depends on and what should be the height of the bath from floor to ceiling.

As for the height of the ceilings in the apartment, these standards are regulated by a document called SNiP, in particular its series 31-01-2003. You can read more about this indicator in paragraph 5.8 of this document.

It says here that the minimum height of a room or ancillary space is determined by:

• its type and purpose;
• construction region.

Important! Room height standards exist to ensure optimal natural circulation indoor air and a favorable microclimate.

To find out which climatic region a particular place belongs to, just refer to SNiP under the number 23-01-99. The entire territory of our country is divided into climatic regions, taking into account the average monthly temperature, air humidity and the direction of the prevailing winds. The territory of the Russian Federation is divided into 4 climatic regions. All of them are additionally divided into 16 districts. Zone ІA is considered the coldest.

Depending on the climatic region, the following norms for the height of the premises apply:

1. In the territories belonging to zones IA, IB, ІG, ID, as well as VA, the minimum allowable height from floor to ceiling is 2700 mm.
2. In all other zones, the norm is 2500 mm.

Residential regulations

Today, new apartments with high ceilings are not often found. This is due to the fact that at the moment there are norms according to which the optimal distance from the ceiling surface to the clean floor in the apartment is taken to be 2400-2800 mm. Designing apartments with a height of less than 2.4 m is prohibited. A lower indicator will not only adversely affect the microclimate in the room, but will also not allow a person to feel comfortable in a low room.

These standards do not apply to the construction of individual houses. If desired, the owner of such a building can equip rooms with a height of 3000-3500 mm. But in pursuit of a comfortable room, do not forget that high rooms take longer to heat up and require significant heating costs.

Today, the following norms for the height of residential premises are in force:

• children's room, bedroom, living room and office - at least 2500 mm;
• kitchen - also not less than 250 cm;
• if mezzanines are installed in the corridor or hallway, then under them the optimal distance from the floor to the ceiling surface is 2100 mm;
• ceiling height in a private house with an attic can be reduced indoors with pitched roof twice (that is, the junction of the wall and the sloping ceiling should be at least 1.4 m-1.6 m from the floor).

The extreme maximum value for this parameter in private buildings is not specified. Most often, rooms in houses are made no higher than 3200 mm, and in buildings of the last century - 4000 mm.

Norms for non-residential premises

When designing non-residential premises, they are guided by the following standards for this indicator:

• public buildings and sanatoriums - not less than 3000 mm;
• auxiliary premises and corridors - at least 1900 mm;
• production shops and dry cleaners - at least 3600 mm;
• the height of the technical floors depends on the engineering communications passing there, but should not be lower than 1600 mm;
• Kindergartens, schools, medical institutions - at least 3000 mm;
• offices, shopping centers and administrative institutions - at least 3 meters.

Standard ceiling height in houses

Apartment buildings built in a certain era have a different parameter for the height of the premises. Moreover, the difference depends on the purpose of the structure and the time of its construction. For apartments built in different corners our country, are characterized by the same dimensions.

Stalinka

Such apartments belong to the old housing stock and are characterized by impressive dimensions. This era is characterized by a lack of savings on space and materials, because mass housing construction was not observed. The distance from the ceiling surface to the floor in such apartments is 3300-3600 mm. On the ceiling, there is often decor in the form of stucco and decorative cornices.

Advice! To adjust the parameters of high "stalinok" install suspended or stretch ceiling. As for painting, wallpapering or whitewashing, they are inappropriate in such apartments.

Khrushchev

In the era of Khrushchev's rule, the task was to provide housing for every family. Since the project implementation timeframe and costs were rather limited, small-sized apartments were designed. On average, the distance from floor to ceiling was 2480-2600 mm, but in the northern latitudes, apartments were built at least 2700 mm high.

Important! The ceiling surface in Khrushchev is not decorated with suspended structures that steal valuable centimeters. To visually expand the space, it is recommended to use light glossy finishing materials.

Brezhnevka

Houses built during the Brezhnev era are distinguished by their improved size, because after the mass construction of the "Khrushchev" small apartments it's time to think about the comfort of housing. The apartments are distinguished by spacious areas, each room has a separate entrance, the kitchen is quite spacious, there are built-in cabinets and mezzanines in the corridor. As for the altitude, in Brezhnevka this parameter is 2600-2700 mm.

Block and panel houses

Active cocking of panel and block houses began in Khrushchev times. The distance from ceiling to floor in the first panels built was 2500 mm. At the same time, the layout of small-sized Khrushchev houses was completely preserved.

In the 80s, they began to build new block and panel apartment buildings with improved layout. Here the height of the rooms is in the range of 2650-2750 mm. The layout of the apartments was radically different from the Khrushchev buildings, and the height of the house exceeded 5 floors.

outbuildings

There are no exact norms regarding the height of outbuildings. Buildings for household purposes may differ in this parameter depending on the region of construction and the purpose of the premises. A shed for storing utensils and tools is made 1900 mm high. If it is necessary to store large items, the distance is increased to 2000-2200 mm.

Ceiling heights for utility rooms

Each apartment has ancillary facilities. These are places where a person does not stay permanently, that is, he does not sleep, does not cook or eat. When designing them, they are also guided by certain standards.

Bathroom

In apartments and private houses, the bathroom is arranged under the same ceiling as the living rooms, so the height of the room is directly related to the standard height of the rest of the apartment or house. If the bathroom area is small, and the distance from floor to ceiling is significant, then the room seems disproportionate and uncomfortable. To correct this shortcoming in the bathroom, suspended or stretch ceilings are mounted at the right distance from the floor.

Bath

Want to know the exact height of the ceiling in the bath, the standard is 2300 mm. Usually, this parameter is observed during the construction of a one-story detached building. The height of the ceiling in the bath less than 2200 mm is unacceptable, because it leads to poor circulation of heated air.

Attention! More precisely, the distance from floor to ceiling in the bath is determined taking into account the number of shelves and the total number of rows.

However, if the bath is made very high, then the room will warm up to the required temperature for a very long time. Another disadvantage of too high a bath lies in the significant costs of raw materials or electricity for heating.

How to calculate ceiling height

To independently determine the optimal distance from the ceiling surface to the clean floor in the room, the following rules are followed:

1. For living rooms and other premises of permanent residence of a person, this parameter is selected taking into account the growth of the tallest household. A height reserve of 1 m is added to its growth. A reserve of free space above human height is needed to protect against inhalation of dusty and very dry air, which circulates a meter from the ceiling.
2. When determining the height of the rooms, do not forget to take into account the cost of heating. A high room takes longer to heat up and requires high costs for heating the coolant.

Interesting fact! With an increase in floor height by 30 cm, the cubic capacity of the house increases by 30 m³. As a result, an autonomous heating device will require powerful expensive equipment.

1. In multi-storey private houses, a significant distance from floor to ceiling requires the construction of an overall staircase that occupies a lot of usable space. To save space, you can make a steeper staircase, but it is not safe to move along it.
2. When calculating this parameter, consider the area individual rooms. So, a high ceiling in a small room looks disproportionate and causes an unpleasant feeling in the people who are there. Too low ceiling surface in a spacious room makes it visually even lower.

When is it allowed to break the rules?

When building an individual house, you may not comply with the current norms regarding the height of the premises. However, do not forget that this often leads to undesirable consequences in the form of high costs for materials and heating at home or an unfavorable microclimate in housing.

During construction apartment buildings and public buildings, designers and builders are obliged to comply with the current norms regarding the height of the premises.

The height of the ceilings in the room plays a significant role. On the one hand, the implementation of certain design decisions depends on this factor. On the other hand, the feeling of comfort of the room as a whole depends on the indicators of the height of the ceiling.

Low designs create a stable psychological feeling pressure. If a person with claustrophobia is in such a room for a long time, this can be fraught with a nervous breakdown. High ceilings, in turn, deprive the space of comfort, because they are no longer associated with non-residential buildings. What should be the height? It's worth looking into it in more detail.

Standard ceiling height

Standard measurements of buildings are determined by building codes and regulations (SNiP). They are normative documents that are used during construction.

For modern buildings, the ceiling height parameter (the distance from it to the floor) according to SNiP should not be less than 2.5 meters. According to this parameter, the vertical size of the walls cannot be lower. Deviations from the standard in the direction of increasing the parameter are not only possible, but also quite common in life. In new buildings, the ceiling height is usually higher than the standard, while in the "Khrushchev" - not always.

The height of the ceilings directly depends on the type of building. Let's look at the main types of residential buildings and the standards for floor-to-ceiling distance in them.

Panel house

To begin with, it is worth deciding which houses are panel houses. First of all, these are new buildings. But this category also includes buildings built during the Brezhnev era and during the Khrushchev era. More familiar names for the layman are “brezhnevka” and “khrushchevka”. Apartments of this plan are not particularly different from each other. "Brezhnevka" is a little more than "Khrushchev". But in total apartments are small. After all, for construction works of that era, the main priority was the economy of materials.

They are characterized by the following parameters:

1. Ceiling height in panel house Khrushchev - 2.5 meters.
2. During the Brezhnev era, this parameter was raised to 2.7 meters. This value has retained its relevance to this day.
3. For standard new buildings(meaning the most common "nine-story buildings"), the ceiling height is 2.6 meters.

More modern buildings boast a ceiling height of 2.8 meters.

"Stalinka"

The buildings of the Stalin era, on the contrary, are distinguished by their scale. Spacious rooms and high ceilings. The ceiling height in an apartment built at that time can reach 3-3.5 meters. High ceilings were often decorated with stucco, which created a feeling of harmony and comfort.

Own house

The height parameters of the walls in a private house are determined according to the design of the building. Here the full will of the imagination of both the architect and the customer is given. Under the conditions of a not particularly grandiose building, the height of the ceilings in a private house is usually in the range of 2.7 to 3.5 meters.

Higher ceilings are also possible. Most often they are made in order to fully implement design solutions. It can be tiered suspended ceilings or a chic Victorian-style hanging chandelier.

non-residential premises

For buildings such as a garage or a sauna, there are no strict regulatory frameworks. In this case, the height of the ceiling is determined by expediency.

For baths and saunas, high ceilings are undesirable, since it will be much longer and harder to warm up such a building.

The height of the walls of the garage is determined by the transport that is in it. For a standard passenger car, there is no need to build a garage with high ceilings. But if you have enough overall transport, there is a reason to increase the length of the walls to 3 meters.

Public buildings

For public buildings, the ceiling height is also regulated in accordance with SNiP. In this case, it should not be less than 3 meters. For industrial buildings this parameter increases to 3.6 meters.

The height of the ceiling is determined at the design stage of the building. If you are faced with a similar task, you should not save on space. High ceilings have many advantages:

• give more light and air to space;
• allow to realize interesting design solution(floor-attic, suspended ceilings, etc.);
• allow you not to accurately set the level of the ceiling (small errors will be less noticeable).

The ceiling is an object decorative design. The impression of the room depends on its height. It creates a feeling of spaciousness and comfort, or, conversely, depresses with heaviness. The design project depends on the height of the walls, it must be taken into account when choosing a chandelier, the layering of the plasterboard system, wall decoration, etc. The height requirements depend on the purpose of the building (residential or public). Although even in the living quarters are put forward different requirements; it all depends on which part of the ceiling we are talking about: a living room or a corridor, a bathroom or a hall, a balcony or a kitchen.

There is no standard single ceiling height (h, m) in any regulatory document or standard. According to building codes and system rules (SNiP) normative documents in construction, the smallest h is set, below which construction is unacceptable.

Ceiling height of public buildings

• The height of the ceilings of public buildings is also established by SNiPs. According to sanitary standards the height of the premises of public buildings (including sanatoriums) should be > 3 meters.
• For individual baths and health-improving complexes with baths designed for more than 100 people, h of the main premises should be> 3.3 meters.
• For industrial buildings and laundries-dry cleaners h> 3.6 meters.
• Premises that have an auxiliary purpose and corridors (depending on the technological requirements and the construction project) can be built at a lower height, in this case h> 1.9 meters.
• In the premises of public buildings with a capacity of 40 people, it is possible to maintain h corresponding to the height of the floor of the building. Similar standards have been established for the premises of enterprises engaged in retail, trading area which< 250 кв. м.
• Subject to functional purpose and technological requirements h of the attic floors, it is permissible to reduce under the ceiling with an inclination. The area of ​​such a section of the ceiling with greater height should not be less than 60% of the area of ​​the room. In accordance with SNiP, h of the lowest part of the sloped area should be > 1.2 meters (slope 30 ° relative to the horizon), > 0.8 meters (slope 45 °). With a slope of 60 °, the height is not limited.
• On the technical floors, the optimal h is set individually, depending on the purpose of the premises, the equipment that they plan to place, the conditions of its operation, as well as engineering networks.
• In places of movement of personnel servicing the equipment, the height from the floor to overall dimensions structures choose> 1.8 meters.
• On technical floors or undergrounds intended only for the placement of engineering networks (pipelines or their insulation made of non-combustible materials), h is> 1.6 meters.
• AT office buildings and administrative premises h should be > 3 meters. An exception may be separate small offices located not in administrative buildings. In this case, h can be set as in residential buildings (i.e. 2.5 ... 2.7 meters).

Standard ceiling height in apartments

• Ceiling heights in living quarters and kitchens should be >2.5 meters.
• The height of the ceilings of halls, corridors, mezzanines and front rooms for the safe movement of people should be > 2.1 meters.
• In apartments, living quarters and kitchens on the attic or upper floors, where there are inclined enclosing structures, may have a lower, relative to the standard, ceiling height. However, in this case, the part of the ceiling with a large parameter should not be > 50% of the area of ​​the room.
• When designing the boiler room where the heat generator will be installed, h should be> 2.2 meters. It should be noted that the arrangement of boiler rooms in the basement of residential buildings does not comply with safety standards. In the basements of large-panel buildings, it is permissible to build openings with a room height of 1.6 meters and a threshold height of > 0.3 meters.

In practice, the most common ceiling height is 2.5 ... 3.2 meters. However, if it comes to "Khrushchev", then you can also meet 2.4 meters, which, according to modern requirements, does not meet the standards of a residential building. In modern new buildings, h is in the range of 2.6 ... 2.8 meters. An important role in determining the final height of the ceiling is played by the quality in accordance with which the house was built. After eliminating the unevenness of the floor and ceiling, precious sentiments can be subtracted from the total height of the room.

The ceiling height of more than 3 meters has elite apartments - modern new buildings or the so-called stalinkas. Both those and others are characterized by a higher cost of quadrature in their segment.

Experts assure that from the point of view of the ratio of price and comfort, h = 2.7 meters is optimal. It is recommended to focus on this indicator when buying real estate.

Why is height so important?

The standard ceiling height in an apartment (h = 2.5 ... 3.2 meters) often does not allow its owner to realize his interesting ideas in design. With high ceilings in the house, there is always an advantage, because in such houses there is more light and air, and there is also no feeling of an enclosed space.

The design project of a room with high ceilings (h = 3.2 ... 3.7 meters or more) allows you to embody bright ideas and the most daring decisions.

To avoid the feeling of emptiness, in apartments with high ceilings, you can not only hang a multi-level crystal chandelier, but also make an additional attic floor - a recreation area, to which a small staircase leads, and at the top there is an extra bed and a library.

The arrangement of space in residential premises with a high ceiling has some features:

For the interior of large rooms with high ceilings, it is recommended to choose massive large furniture. At the same time, it is important not to visually overload the room, so as not to cross out the feeling of light and space.

It should be noted that the design of a dwelling with a high ceiling is often performed in a loft style ( modern style, which can be described by the motto: “less partitions, more fresh air»). This style emphasizes the advantages of the room and organizes hidden places for storing things, effectively organizes the surrounding space. But for some owners of residential premises with high ceilings, Art Nouveau style is to their taste.

Regardless of the adherence to style, there is a vast field for imagination. Curly arches will look very beautiful and relevant in such rooms, decorative elements of varying complexity, tension or suspended multi-tiered ceiling structures. Another plus of such a room is that there will be no need to set the ceiling level up to a centimeter, since they are invisible in the common space.

Repair features

Modern technologies and the widest choice of building materials make it possible to make repairs to rooms with high ceilings a little more difficult than ordinary rooms. In the presence of large doors and window openings, stucco molding will become a real decoration.

With the help of gypsum stucco, ventilation grilles and risers, pipes and supporting structures are hidden, the ability to dismantle which in such apartments is very rare. In general, this is an indispensable technique if you want to hide objectionable interior details. If you want to hide the flaws of the floors, it is possible to mount stretch and suspended ceiling systems, which are not particularly difficult to choose these days.

Conclusion

The height of the room is selected at the design stage of the building and should be determined by the expected operational characteristics and provide for the safe stay of people in the building.

If you're just planning a build, don't skimp on space and don't go for a minimum standard, because you're planning your home where you can let your imagination run wild! A ceiling with a height of more than 3 meters will allow you to implement the most daring design projects, create a feeling of space, comfort and coziness.
