Where is my post about kitchens with 8 foot ceilings?
Comments (13)lilliepie07 - I am not sure what tricks there are to making the room seem taller. Sounds like you are already done remodelling? All the decorating shows hype over and over about lighter colors making the room seem larger. Is there a specific area that makes you feel its closed in that can be changed with decorating tips? Maybe post a pic here? I just love how everyone on here responds when you post pics and something seems just not quite right and all these extra pairs of eyes point out the obvious things! Sometimes we are too involved up close and personal and GW is such a huge help! Anyways, to make you feel better :) My kitchen is in week 2 of our remodel. We went from 7 foot drop ceilings with a huge flourescent light box to our new spacious 8 feet!! haha It sure seems big to us because of what we had for 26 yrs. We also took out as much wall as we could to the dining room so we went from a 36" opening to 94?? The light from the windows makes it appear large. I am just having a valance in the DR and a roman shade in the kitchen. We are using our old cabinets, so they do not go to the ceiling. Yes, I will put "stuff" up there. But just a few things to accent some colors in the design. We also are going to white painted cabinets, so that will open it up. I am relying on light colors and minimally adorned windows for our larger feel. Good Luck!! We would love to see your space!...See MoreSmall cove molding on 8 foot floor to ceiling cabinets?

Comments (14)LARA, It's the same math: If you have 99 ( 8 feet is btw 96" , not 99 ) " and you have a light that IN TOTAL mount and fixture uses up 26 inches, you will have 37 inches from the bottom of the light to the counter top. If you have 96 inches...now you have 34 inches to counter top. If you want to know how it will look, on any you select? You get yourself a ruler, and you draw it out, using one inch, to one foot scale. Chain is easier than stem......so you really need to pay attention to specs, and mounting details. The length of your island must also be VERY much considered. Any solid shade will read heavier and larger than an open lantern or glass shade. Solid shades will direct light to the counter top, and more open or clear fixtures will give you more dispersed light....See MorePHOTO REQUEST: Stacked Kitchen Cabinets with 8-Foot Ceiling
Comments (12)You can’t do stacked cabinets with 8’ ceiling. It looks weird—squat cabinet on top of squat cabinet not a good look at all. Your ceiling will also appear lower with two rows of horizontal squat cabinets. It will also cut back significantly on useable cabinet storage space, and costs a boatload of money to look bad. The photos you linked of “the look you are going for” is of a kitchen with 10’ ceilings. If you are taking cabinets to meet your 8’ ceiling, I recommend 39” tall uppers and 3“ crown. The taller cabinets will give the illusion your ceiling is higher, and you’ll have good storage too. The upper cabinets that are next to the fridge can be glass-door cabinets if you want to store glassware and pretty china there....See Morebyst
