If you are building new, then you might want to consider 9 ft. ceilings depending on how you plan to use the space. So many people are putting in theatres, kitchens and other living space, the 9 ft. makes it feel less like a basement. Consider also that when the builders are putting in the heating and air conditioning vents and structure, the plumbing and wiring that a ceiling could be lower than 8 ft. when you have to build over all that. And if you have a sunken living room upstairs, your ceiling would be even lower in that area. So look at your plans and make your decisions accordingly.

When my home was appraised we were told that 7 ft tall ceilings were necessary to classify the finished basement as rooms

if you are going to finish the basement with a drop ceiling make the ceiling higher because you will loose a couple inches from the ceiling if you are using drywall or nothing 8' is fine

It depends... What are you using it for? A rec Room? I would want a higher ceiling if you were to put ping pong or pull in there... but other wise as just an extra living space it should be fine... As long as there are windows.

Hang your drapes from the ceiling down to the floor to trick the eye into seeing a long line. No crown molding unless you paint it the same color as the wall not the ceiling. Another trick is to paint the walls, crown molding and about 6" of the ceiling to make it appear higher!

if i were building a new house i would go with the 9ft walls. its not that much more expensive and in the long run you,ll be glad you did.
