room dimention question


Is a 7ft 3" ceiling a bad thing? I might be renovating a basement and could have a dedicated room but I think the ceiling would only be 7ft 3". Is this a problem? where can I get a quick down and dirty discussion of how to do a room? Also where do I get the info on electrical. Thanks

Thanks for your responses. I am thinking about the electrical as I will be doing this room from scratch so anything is possible. I do however need to make this look like a nice finished room. I can't make it look like a dormitory crash pad. So I'll have to finish the ceiling in some fashion.
Guys I'm learning a lot of stuff here.

Jrenman and Mesch....I'm taking your suggestions one point at a time and trying to absorb it all. The ceiling will be an interesting fix. I have a good architect so I think he can come up with something innovative if i can find some examples for him. Wiring should not be a problem.

Bombaywalla......I will be working with the architect next week. Maybe he can draw up something I can post. Right now I don't have the exact size.....maybe something like 12 x 16 ft.

Nick.....Nice cave! That's my idea though I think my room will be bigger. I've got to fit in my fly fishing gear and tying space.

Tmsorosk......great tip about the video electric. I'm guilty of that at this exact moment.
Mesch.......what kind of fishing do you do? I mostly salt water fish, but the new room is located in the heart of Colorado trout streams. I guess I'm gonna have to figure out how to catch those little suckers!
I have been making some headway with the construction plans but am really stumped with this audio space. We will be able to have a full 8' in height but the room is odd shaped. Where can one get some good professional help? I need to decide if this idea will serve my needs. I could post some diagrams here as a virtual system if I can figure out how to do it. If the room is just flat out not going to cut it I need to know that going in.

Bombywalla...I've been re reading your post to get a grip on the problem. Are there any standard materials that should be used for the floor, walls and ceilings? or do you just start with conventional materials and then adjust your room from there?
