But in a room deeper than 12 feet that band of wall pinches the view and it s silly to keep the top of the.
													
																	10 ceilings with standard height windows and doors pictures. 
									
	
		
	
																	It s a nice feel but adds expense in cabinetry a kitchen to look good. 
																	With a standard 8 foot wall height this placement leaves a margin of 16 inches between the top of the window and the ceiling. 
																	Standard residential door heights are 6 8 and 8 0. 
																	Even a nine foot ceiling is better with eight foot doors and taller window or an added transom above a standard seven foot height. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Our doors are standard height but 36 wide with 4 casings. 
																	We have 9 foot ceilings. 
																	Higher ceilings up to 12 feet are not uncommon especially in renovated loft apartments and pre war style architecture. 
																	I try to use 3 0 wide door where possible. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Our windows are 6 tall and start about 12 from the ceiling so there is a difference in the height of the tops of doors and windows. 
																	Ten feet of height and a 84 door will make that door appear a mouse hole. 
																	Ceiling 10 windows 8 6 9 doors 7 4th floor. 
																	This leaves a comfortable 16 inch gap between the ceiling and window top. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	My rule of thumb is to use the 8 0 doors when you have tall ceilings or to use transoms with 6 8 doors. 
																	Matching the window and door height to the space. 
																	With standard 8 foot walls windows most often match the top of interior doors which are 6 feet 8 inches tall. 
																	Our exterior doors are 6 8 as well but they have transoms so they look taller. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	I m looking at two of them now in a room with a 16 foot cathedral ceiling and an arch top window made of four 6 foot casements plus the 4 foot archtop. 
																	Ceilings can go beyond the industry standard to 10 and 12 feet high. 
																	Window replacement is typically determined when designing the exterior of a house with the height set to the standard door height of 6 feet and 8 inches. 
																	Let me see if i can find pics. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Most construction right now is 10 down and 9 up as standard in my area. 
																	It used to be pretty standard. 
																	Also consider the width. 
																	It s not just the height it s the bulk. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Narrow doors look even narrower when they are tall. 
																	Taller doors and windows or drop the ceiling. 
																	I understand what you re saying about down the road 10 being the 8 of today you could alway hedge and do 11 with 8 doors aesthetically that would look fine and you could bump area mentioned above to 12 to give a little dimension. 
																	12 in living family maybe a study is a nice feature.
