Ceiling Height Kitchen Cabinets... Awesome or Awful?BYHYU 177

Published: Sept. 4, 2019, 7 a.m.

For decades, the standard ceiling height was 8 feet tall\u2014a dimension that resulted from two 4-foot-wide drywall sheets laid together horizontally.\xa0 But homes are now being built with standard 9 or 10-foot ceilings on the first floor, and ceilings at 8 or 9 feet tall on the second floor.\xa0

With today\u2019s taller ceiling heights, the potential space above standard upper kitchen cabinets has become larger and we\u2019ll have to decide how far up we want our cabinetry to go.\xa0 Should we leave an open space between the upper cabinets and the ceiling, or should we fill that space with a soffit or with additional cabinetry? \xa0 This week we\u2019ll talk about the pros and cons of cabinets that extend all the way to the ceiling.
