kitchen cabinets with a 10 ft ceiling
Comments (7)I think this is really a preference and design thing. Also budget. Stacked cabinets are so lovely and provide for a great deal of storage if you have a handy ladder nearby. I personally love the look of high ceilings and cupboards that are relatively low (but easy to reach). It looks more old - fashioned and I've come to love the clean look. It's also much more affordable than stacked cabinets. The box soffit option is chosen by many builders, but we specifically requested no box soffits for the entire home. I have friends who prefer soffits to an area that needs to be dusted though. I may have opted for stacked cabinets if I didn't have a handy dandy walk in pantry nearby planned for extra storage. Houzz has some great kitchens of all types. Here are some of my favorite designs... via the link below Here is a link that might be useful: devol bespoke kitchens...See MoreAnyone have pics of 10ft ceiling with 42in upper cabinets?
Comments (18)Our house is in progress. We're doing JUST that...a contoured wood hood to the ceiling and 10 foot cabinets with molding above (the molding and the hood are not on yet) Here's some pics of the VERY rough kitchen without anything other than cabinets with unadjusted doors: Here's the hood. Well, not THE hood. The paint wasn't right so it has to be fixed. But that's the shape minus the molding at the top: Sink side of kitchen. I wish I'd have gotten a better shot since you can't see the glass cab on the right of the window. But you can see that in the range wall pic above I guess. There will be a window seat to the area to the left of the kitchen (that's the dining table area) with solid-door hutches on each side of those wing walls that face inwards. We are doing those to the ceiling to break up the line of cabinetry around the room and add height along with the hood. The built-ins on either side of the fireplace (that's covered up with that big board over on the left side) will go to 8 feet. Those will be cabinets on bottom and open shelves on the top with the backs painted out a gray shade: I looked to nini's kitchen for inspiration too. It's so pretty! Here's some kitchens with hoods to the ceiling and cabinets down a foot or two:...See MoreStacked Cabinets to 10 ft ceiling. What is your combination?
Comments (55)Hi Mags...my house is almost at the drywall stage so way too late for the counterhight window but I seriously considered it at one time. I love the look. i did heed the advice of the crank out window. They are casement windows. The architect drew in 3 windows and I gave up one to get more upper cabinets. I hope I don't regret that when it's all done. we (kd) called modernaire and I'm working on a hood. We shall see. Thank you for the advice!...See More20 inch soffit with 42 inch upper cabinets/10ft ceiling
Comments (18)"I am not going to tell you" are not words that are particularly useful in this forum. OPs deserve to know the reason for and the thinking behind the questions that are asked here. It's not clear to me what stage this build is at. If it's still under design, then comments about high ceilings make sense. If the house is already framed, then the ceiling heights are pretty much a given. It's also not clear to me that the OP has any affordability issues. By the way, Frank Lloyd Wright, arguably the greatest residential architect ever (leaking roofs notwithstanding), always used to design his houses with the kitchen having the highest ceiling. I think he believed that the kitchen would act as a chimney this way and draw cooking odors away from adjacent living and dining rooms. So there is nothing wrong per se with a high ceiling in a kitchen, particularly if it is higher than the surrounding spaces....See Moregold566
