The kitchen cabinets and molding do not go to the ceiling and the wall cabinets and trim will be just below the ceiling.
Moving kitchen cabinets up to ceiling.
If your cabinets are too high you will need a ladder to access them.
Moving the cabinets all the way up to the ceiling took advantage of previously wasted space and gave me much needed storage for rarely used items like serveware and holiday dishes.
This capability is lost when you run the cabinets fully to the ceiling.
And if your kitchen has ornate built up crown moldings they will probably need to be removed to install full rise wall cabinets and it may be impossible.
Any crown molding or trim will continue around the room above the cabinetry.
My kitchen wall cabinets are about 20 down from the ceiling.
We are really into extending things and making them look bigger.
This will be quite stressful and a bit dangerous.
This also allows you to hide the stained plastic ware and tall tumblers in the space above and still show off the best dishes that you own.
If you have space above the current kitchen cabinets then you can use that to your advantage.
I d like to move them up on the wall and add a shelf below.
Standard cabinets can also allow for indirect uplighting through light fixtures mounted on the tops of the cabinets.
Adding a shelf below and beside the cabinets gave me the old storage space i m used to but with the opportunity to put my prettier dishes on display a chance for.
We nailed it when we extended our fireplace to the ceiling and made the room look so much taller.
That is a large amount of useless space for me.
Easy access to kitchen cabinets is one thing a lot of people want and if you also want this then your cabinets should not go all the way up to the ceiling.
There are a few different factors to consider before deciding whether or not to extend your cabinets.
We also just extended our lower kitchen cabinets by adding open shelving and a tilt out trash can but the newest thing we did was extend our upper kitchen cabinets to the ceiling using one piece of wood.
Move the current cabinets up to the ceiling and add open shelving to the space below to create modern look.
