When my self and my wife where looking for a house to buy, I had 2 criteria.

1) the rooms must be high. Like way bigger than me high. I'm 6'2" , doorways are about a foot higher, then about 2' above that to the ceiling. All in all the room is near to 10' tall

2) we had a big loft space. And we do. In the centre the height is close to that of the rooms below.

The reason for number 1, is I have a false ceiling in my office now, well sort of anyway. I've put extra joists accross, then put loft boards coming out about 3' on all 4 walls.

I have a small pair of step ladders, and all my gear is sorted into labeled, plastic tuff crates, inside each crate are a variety of different schemes, some none, some 2 or 3 fishing tackle boxes.

When I want something, I step on my step ladders, lift the box down onto my desk, get the item I want, then put the box back.

The false ceiling is way above head height so doesn't impact normal use of the room.

As for the loft, I have that loft boarded from front to back, and I've panneled off the roof trusses with ply board, put small shelf units in them, I crawl in to defined openings, small pull chord light in there, those are my storage cupboards, in the center, I have a 19" rack with my servers in and a sturdy work bench at one end where I can work on things to heavy for my office desk.

The only problem I have, is that, as I get older, I start to hurt more climbing up and down ladders all the time.
