Need advice on cabinet height!

14 years ago

Hi all!

We are renovating our kitchen and need some advice. Our ceilings are 8'5" for the part behind the header. We are keeping basically the same layout as shown in the picture. The new cabinets will be painted white with an oatmeal glaze. Should we install cabinets to the ceiling or all the same but not to the ceiling or do something similar to the attached rendering?

The rendering looks nice. Just keep in mind the taller cabinets must be deeper to allow the adjacent cabinet crown molding to die into the cabinet properly.

Normally, I would say - go to the ceiling but an interesting predicament with the header - I think you have a good thing going - go for it!

Maybe go tall over the oven area...

I would suggest more drawers and less cabinets.
