The other complication is with the bedrooms and bathrooms
used by the owner of the house. From memory from that series
Weekend Aristocrats, they didn’t necessarily have that high ceilings.


Maybe being mostly asleep at the time, they probably didn't
worry too much about ceiling heights. Same with lying in
the bath.

While in the colonies, many of the ceilings were high in order
to accomodate central fans, which would otherwise render
such places inhospitable for people more used to less
tropical conditions.
