The cabinets won t go all the way to the ceiling which gives you the chance to add crown molding.
Should my kitchen cabinets go to ceiling.
If you love the look and have the budget i definitely suggest taking cabinetry all the way to the ceiling.
If the ceiling height of your kitchen is nine or ten feet the cabinetry can be treated one of two ways.
The height of your ceiling decides how tall the kitchen cabinets should be.
The kitchen cabinets and molding do not go to the ceiling and the wall cabinets and trim will be just below the ceiling.
Kitchen cabinets that go to the ceiling can increase your storage space or add an area to display decorative items.
If you have 8 foot tall ceilings and want cabinets that run to the ceiling 42 inch tall wall cabinets will fit perfectly.
Also if you get 42 cabinets and take them to the ceiling without crown molding make sure they are partial overlay cabinet doors for the same reasons above.
In a kitchen where there is more than enough space kitchen cabinets can go to the ceiling and still look good.
This means that it will impact the size of cabinets you intend to use.
However most kitchens are of average size and average height.
If you have 9 foot tall ceilings you can choose to fill the available 54 inches of wall space with one row of 36 inch tall cabinets with a row of 18 inch cabinets above them.
We ve got lots of good stuff going in on the other side of the kitchen a new cabinet to house the refrigerator that will go to the ceiling and a new base cabinet beside it for an undercounter microwave gotta get that off the counter.
If you select a smaller profile crown molding there will be a small amount of space above the cabinets.
Many stock cabinets have been designed to accommodate the typical 8 feet ceiling as this is the standard height in many places.
The size molding is up to you.
In these kitchens high kitchen cabinets will on serve to make the interior space look more cramped.
Any crown molding or trim will continue around the room above the cabinetry.
