The distance between my stairs and the room above is very low - only
69" (1.75m). I am constantly hitting my head on it. I am trying to
increase this height by taking more space out of the room above the
stairs. What is the recommended distance between the stairs and the
room above it?

IIRC current building regs specify 2m minimum headroom from the stairs,
measured from the diagonal line connecting the top of the front edge of
each step.
