Are 8 foot doors too high for a ranch house with 10 foot ceilings?

S Thank you
5 år sedan

I finally went to a window/ door showroom and saw actual 8 foot doors. They seem freakishly tall. Thoughts? Considering dropping to 7 foot doors with 10 foot ceilings.

    If your interior ceiling height is 10'-0", then 8'-0" doors will be well proportioned for the space.

      My doors are 8' with 10' ceilings. Actually in my hallways my ceilings are only 9' tall with 8' doors.

      freakishly tall

      Seven foot doors in 10' high rooms seem freakishly small. I'm building with 12' ceilings and am wondering about 8' doors.

      No. That's a perfect size.

      Perhaps it is not the door that seems freakishly tall.

      I feel there's no generic or a correct answer; it all depends on the layout whether you are referring to doors leading to bedrooms, office, kitchen or pantry, or bathrooms, or hallways etc. etc. An 8' door may look freakishly tall in one setting and may look quite normal or elegant in another be it 9', 10' or 12' ceilings. The door width will also determine it's visual impact. Our 8' interior doors are 36" glass doors, opposite each other leading to the laundry and walk in pantry in a section that has 9' ceiling; why? because the huge adjoinning family room has 12' ceilings with 8' glass wall of sliders each with 30" transom windows above, it ties in nicely. What I'm trying to say is, draw it out or visualize the impact of what you would see from any particular point or location in your home.

      Interior doors will feel fine at 8'. Exterior doors and windows should either be taller or have transoms to take the glass within a foot or so of the ceiling. The perception of height is determined by the window height, not the ceiling height.
