Beams in a kitchen with 8-ft. ceilings?
Comments (9)Her photo show 12" beams. The LR justgotabme posted looks like 6" to me. My kitchen is linked below. They are 6x6 and 4x4. Against the wall, the trim piece is 2x8. The large beam you see in the 2nd picture dividing the kitchen from great room is structural and it's 6x12. Hope this helps: Here is a link that might be useful: My kitchen - beams...See Moreheight of cabinets with 8 ft ceiling ,,opinions please
Comments (35)Our ceilings are 8'4" so we lucked out with cabinet sizes. Before the remodel we had no upper cabinets, just open shelves along the walls. After putting in cabinets to the ceiling I was amazed at how much bigger the room felt (even though the cabinets are medium/dark.) I really like the feeling of vertical space. And I find plenty of rarely-needed items to place on the upper shelves. And like alwaysfixin, I appreciate having a space for tall items without eating into prime easily-reached space. If I had to make a choice, I would go for less of a molding and go for as much cabinet space as possible....See MoreKitchen cabinet height for 9 ft ceiling
Comments (4)Unfortunately faux wood beams often look faux and an affectation. It depends on how well they’re done which usually means costly for them to look good. I would not jump through hoops for them in my kitchen design. Also make sure the beams don’t interfere with your lighting....See More8 ft vs 9 ft basement ceiling height
Comments (6)100% agree if you plan to use it as living space, go with 9'. It's surprising how much that extra foot adds to the overall feeling of a space. I deliberately chose 8 for my cellar, but that's because I never plan to use it as living space. I love having the laundry room and all mechanicals/HVAC so easily accessible in a cellar - and cellars are expected in a home in my area of NY. So yes I wanted a cellar, but the cost to bump mine up to 9 wasn't worth it, to me. YMMV. :)...See Moreardcp
