Patio depth: 9 ft vs 10 ft?
Comments (4)Tape out everything you plan to have out there: table, chairs, walking space. Tape out the porch dimensions. Or use spray paint, whatever works. It’s the best way to decide It’ll help you visualize whether you would have room for outdoor play space for games like cornhole, putting golf balls, whatever....See MoreWhat ceiling height to use 9ft or 10 ft.
Comments (16)I much prefer 10 foot ceilings as long as everything is proportional. I agree there is more drama with the higher ceiling and kitchen cabinetry that goes all the way up looks great with lighted glass fronts. It really is a matter of personal taste. Some prefer it lower and say it’s more cozy. To me it feels more claustrophobic. Honestly though, my home feels super cozy with our 10 foot ceilings. Lighting, color scheme, and decor are what really contribute to having a warm and inviting space. It’s hard to make this kind of decision for someone else. If, when you’re in homes with the higher ceilings, you really like the look and feel, then that’s what I’d go for. Our first floor is 10 foot and we did 9 feet on the second floor. I could kick myself for that one. We should have done 10 on both floors. There is a VERY noticeable difference when going upstairs moving from 10 feet to 9 feet. Our upstairs landing feels like a hobbit space in comparison. IMO, if one has a two story home, both floors should have the same ceiling heights....just looks and flows much better that way....See More8ft vs 9ft ceilings
Comments (12)I saw a few flags go up: "in the midst of a major renovation" "trying to keep within budget" "raising the first floor to 9ft ceilings" "a very open floorplan on the first floor" "would it be simpler to reinforce the existing first floor 8ft ceiling" "second floor is going to be built the 9ft ceiling" All of these statements conflict with one another, and together they may say to tear the house down and start from scratch. If you have started renovation the questions you are asking should have been determined a long time ago. Generally raising the ceiling height on an existing home is costly. Large spaces call for more elaborate ceiling/floor structure above. Hire an architect, if you have not already; somebody has to protect you from you....See MoreOversized lighting over my 10ft island with 9ft ceilings
