re: House that has 8ft ceilings

This 12' (or God forbid 14') ceiling trend drives me batshit crazy. It adds very little unless it's in a feature foyer or living room setting. Houses with 12/14' ceilings throughout just seem to sterile and uncomfortably formal to me.

Houses should feel warm and comfortable, and I find almost all 12/14' ceilings don't. 9'/10' is as high as I'd go.

I know I'm in the minority here as I get ripped in all these threads, but there's my weekly ceiling height rant haha.

I can definitely see your point here. To each their own. I read an article the other day about people who were looking for houses without the great room style open concept. I know that is something that is pretty much incorporated into every new build out there.
