Kitchen cabinets that go to the ceiling can increase your storage space or add an area to display decorative items.
Should my kitchen cabinets go to ceiling.
The cabinets won t go all the way to the ceiling which gives you the chance to add crown molding.
The kitchen cabinets and molding do not go to the ceiling and the wall cabinets and trim will be just below the ceiling.
If you love the look and have the budget i definitely suggest taking cabinetry all the way to the ceiling.
In a kitchen where there is more than enough space kitchen cabinets can go to the ceiling and still look good.
If the ceiling height of your kitchen is nine or ten feet the cabinetry can be treated one of two ways.
You don t want to try to open your cabinet door and only be able to do it part way because the ceiling goes down a fraction of an inch in that area.
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.
Many stock cabinets have been designed to accommodate the typical 8 feet ceiling as this is the standard height in many places.
If you have 8 foot tall ceilings and want cabinets that run to the ceiling 42 inch tall wall cabinets will fit perfectly.

The size molding is up to you.
If you select a smaller profile crown molding there will be a small amount of space above the cabinets.
This means that it will impact the size of cabinets you intend to use.
However most kitchens are of average size and average height.
The height of your ceiling decides how tall the kitchen cabinets should be.

Any crown molding or trim will continue around the room above the cabinetry.
