Hi Laulon - can I ask what paint colour this is on the walls? It's beautiful and looking for something just like this for our living room!

Hello R countryside, One way to view the idea of differing heights re the ceiling is to approach this from an entirely different angle... Rather than consider the heights of the ceilings and worry about them. Instead focus on the decor height of the internal walls.. Ie where you paint or paper up to. Or consider floor and walls together to create a feeling of space. Another way to create a seamless and coherent look within the extension is to decorate with the same palette throughout... It doesn't have to be magnolia... It could be any colour either dramatic or more muted.. Consider too the possibility that you keep the palette the same from walls to ceiling.. Several visual examples for you to look at for inspiration too to compliment what I am suggesting here. One of my favourites is to colour block, and this can be another way to add a dramatic decor that you can taper off to the desired height and keep above to a single colour or not... :)) A period property but you can clearly see how the colour can swiftly dictate an eye level, and above picture rail height the cornice and ceiling is treated as one. Of course you don't need skirting, dado, picture rails to paint these. It is an old but a favoured decorating technique, that is surprisingly versatile... Here I would have painted the skirting either the same or a shade up or down depending on the flooring.. So you can dictate how the eye sees the rooms by deciding the heights (ie the wall decor) so to speak.. Here's the same principle but at dado height... (for some reason they're all dark which I love but they can be a palette you love.. Or be bold with a colour and do everything one colour with a shade darker on the ceiling.. This will reduce the height. The same could be applied to 1 colour in entirety. Then you add interest and texture with everything else! Furniture, lighting, placement, collections.. the possibilities are endless... 1 colour need not be boring. It then relies on texture the air of intrigue in your furnishings and lighting.. Also consider the heights of lighting.. Pendants or clustered lighting can be low and offer a dramatic statement over a table or a side table for example. Or a favourite reading chair.... Steer clear from ceiling acne ( my term for spot lighting) instead look to floor lights, wall lighting which can have an upwards illumination but of a more diffused and interesting appearance overall... For a softer glow.. Colour blocking is really fantastic you can be creative and still continue a theme throughout... The variations are really endless and can be considered on the flooring as well for wood floors... :))

Well, 240 is ok, but 260+ would look great, but it shouldn't have to cost a fortune. Perhaps leave the beams bare? (can still add some insulation and drywall inbetween) Create a good lighting plan and paint wisely, to enhance any height visually.

Agreed - just box in what you need to, the ceiling height isn't very tall to begin with so you don't want to lose any. It kind of makes sense to do the full peninsula to make it look like a design feature as well as a functional feature, but leave above the tall units and the rest of the kitchen to be as open as possible.
