do both.
it appears that your ceilings are higher than average, but your room size is smaller.
if you are wanting the room to appear bigger - add the crown molding.

Thank You!!!!! Merry Christmas to you as well!!!

post some pictures once you have added the crown molding plz.
happy new year as well

I think molding is a nice finishing touch for cabinets. Do you have crown at the ceilings in other rooms? Just wondering how the rooms play out with beginning and ending the molding? Good luck and happy holidays! :)

m having a hard time deciding if I should add crown molding to my cabinets or should I put crown molding on the walls and leave the cabinets alone? Or should I do both? I have 9 ft ceiling. I was thinking about adding 4inch molding to the cabinets. Please HELP!!!!!

Add to the cabinets first, then decide on walls. Also depends on what style cabinets you have. Start a dilemma. :)

Your cabinets look a bit short to me, given the height of your ceiling. It may be too late, but it looks to me like you could have fit 36 or 42 inch wall cabinets. Personally, I would prefer the addtional space of taller cabinets for storage and maybe add crown molding further down the line. As an alternative to replacing the cabinets, maybe you could add 12 inch or 18 inch cabinets over what you currently have?
I know, it's probably just me. But I have a small space, so I'm all about maximizing my footprint with vertical space.
Looks nice, though.

Moulding on top of cabinets will make feel more custom.

Why not? Don't think there's a downside to adding it.

If the budget allows it, I think adding a row of small glass door cabinets on top of the existing cabinets would look great and more proportioned to the room's high ceiling. Like the picture below.

add crown molding to cabinets!!

Beautiful start,but if you can swing the small glass cabinet above existing ones as suggested already above, you problem would be solved. It will give the balance needed and eliminate the guesswork. Nothing else will be needed.
