Up To Ceiling Kitchen Cabinets

Place the boards vertically as you want them to go over your cabinets.

Up to ceiling kitchen cabinets.

It only took a year or two before i started kicking myself for that decision and i ve been itching to run the cabinets up to the ceiling ever since. I wanted the cabinets to extend up to the ceiling. 8 ceilings so wall cabinets will be either 30 tall or 42 tall plus crown molding. If you take only one thing away from the entirety of my story blog let it be that someday isn t ev ver going to happen unless you make someday today.

If you were getting new cabinets would it be worth the extra cost to take them all the way up to the ceiling. Extending your cabinets to the ceiling is also an easy way to make your space appear larger and more open. When my ex and i built i thought the open space for display was the cat s meow since i d always had bulkheads over kitchen cabinets before. A general rule of thumb is for wall cabinets to be mounted so the bottom edge is 54 inches above the floor which means that an 8 foot tall ceiling creates 42 inches of available space for wall cabinets while a 9 foot tall ceiling has 54 available inches.

Drill a flat bracket or l bracket into each board and use it to connect to the top of the cabinets. Run crown molding across the top and nail into the vertical boards. While some kitchen cabinets that don t extend to the ceiling were built that way for a reason often times it s just wasting valuable space that could be filled with more cabinets for extra storage. Current ones are 30.
