High ceilings - what am I missing?
Comments

Once you've lived in a house with high ceilings anything with 'regular' height ceilings feels incredibly claustrophobic in my opinion. It makes the room feel much more grand and spacious.0

Although our rooms are not large we do have high ceilings, which makes them look bigger and adds a touch of elegance to an ordinary Victorian terraced house. We have original coving too

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -

Having recently purchased a property which has high ceilings, I was tired of friends and colleagues reminding me 'it'll be impossible to heat etc.'. I'm sat here now and it couldn't be warmer! Seriously though, I think there's always a compromise whenever you buy a house; for me the appeal of lovely proportions outweighed any negatives.0

I have a vaulted ceiling in the lounge and it's a pain to clean cobwebs or change light bulbs.
Some of those spindly spiders with the tiny bodies and long legs decided to make home there a month ago. They spun lots of fine webs. Yuk!. Had to keep the step ladder to hand for a while till I cleared them.
Heating hasn't been a problem, its no different to any of my other rooms.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't remember having you round for tea at my previous houseOh don't be so unromantic :rotfl:
Heating bills, pffft - get yourself some fluffy throws and lots of jumpers and embrace the glamour, the grandeur, the joys of chandeliers and ceiling roses and cornicing with cobwebs and having a 7 step ladder permanently in the corner of the room and the impossibility of finding curtains that are long enough for the drop on your bay window
