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.

I am not sure what you're asking here. Has an architect started work on these? They should be able to advise. Standard floor to ceiling height on a new build is usually around 2.4m. Between floors, this allows for plasterboard ceiling, joists and floorboards which will be around 250mm - 300mm depending on what depth of floor joists are needed. The overall height of the build you or the architect asks for will be to the ridge of the roof and this obviously depends upon the size, style and pitch of your roof. To give a lofty feel you can go up to 3m floor to ceiling ...a big stately home mansion tend to start at 3.6m. Even 2.7m will give you a better feeling of space but I would usually look at this to be in proportion with the size and grandeur of the house in general. There are also lots of other interior design tricks you can do - like the use of colour, direction of flooring and wall materials or adding double doors from your hallway into your other rooms, that will also help to make the rooms feel larger and more specious. I hope this helps and that you will keep us up to date with your journey :0) Best, Gina

Low ceiling height for loft conversion
Q

Hi all. Thanks for the advice. Actually, hopefully a little bit of a win win on this. My contractor is going to lower the ceilings and we should be able to grab an extra 10cm. I’m also living in a loft room at the moment which is around the 2.25 mark, so my new space should be about the same as that in the end, which has never felt cramped at all. I did a little bit of extra research and did find that the average is often only around 2.1 so probably lucky to get it as high as I am. Oddly i think it is a perceptual thing as well. I went round to a friends town house recently and 2.25 on their top floor felt very low - yet the same size in a loft conversion feels perfectly normal
