Ceiling Heights

Interior Design Tips
Written By Megan Jagasia

Ceiling height can dramatically influence the look and feel of a room. In Australia, the minimum ceiling height is 2400mm, but opting for higher ceilings—2700mm to 3000mm—can transform a space.

Benefits of Higher Ceilings:

  • Enhanced sense of space: Rooms feel larger, brighter, and more open.

  • Design opportunities: Higher skirtings, wall panelling, and picture rails become achievable without feeling out of proportion.

  • Improved light and flow: More natural light and better air circulation.

  • Luxurious feel: Adds elegance and presence to both small and large spaces.

Tips for Design:

  • Combine higher ceilings with layered lighting to amplify openness.

  • Consider style-specific finishes (e.g., Hamptons or Japandi) for skirtings and panelling.
