Stacked Kitchen Cabinets - 9 foot ceiling
Comments (4)I have 42/15 with a 10 foot ceiling, and I don't think 36 would look too tall at all. I wouldn't do upper cabionets less than 15 -- you find that once you take out the box itself, some of the things you would like to display either won't fit or barely fit and you can't raise them so that you only see them for about the top 1/2-2/3....See More9 foot ceiling cabinets pictures again please
Comments (21)Wow I really appreciate all of your input. I have been stalking this site for good ideas and here they are, thank you. My KD did a plan for standard sizes and it went with stacked cabinets but I really want custom so I am going to get some bids, we'll see... elizabeth, thank you, this is what my kd had in mind so I might en up doing this, it looks great romy I saw you posted this previously, i am using it as an example, thank you Sooner- we have the same kitchen! This is such an inspiration. I now know you really can go to the ceiling. kompy- I love the one box and smaller hardware on top, maybe this is what I should do, hmmm I will try to attach my kitchen plan and inspiration pics....See More8 Foot Ceilings with Double Stacked Upper Cabinets?
Comments (6)Are your base cabinets 35" including your counter, or prior? Most are 34.5 before counter. Are you doing custom cabinets? If so you could do 29" tall cabs with 12" stacked, 4" crown, 16" backsplash with 35" lowers/countertop. I have 108" ceiling, with 6" worth of crown and 18" worth of space between uppers and counters. My cabinets are 18" stacked on 30". I really wouldn't want a cabinet smaller than 18" storage-wise, but aesthetically 12" might be fine. I wouldn't do 8". Here's mine. My three double cabinets are 26" wide each. The shorter you make the uppers the narrower they need to be IMO or you end up with squatty doors....See MoreAnyone NOT do stacked cabinets with 10 foot ceilings?
Comments (21)We have 10' ceilings and I didn't want to spend extra thousands for stacked cabinets that I could neither reach nor would likely use (I could've talked DH into anything). Ours was a reno, and we've always had cabinets that go up only ~ 96", finished off with simple crown molding. I just couldn't justify the cost. Sorry I can't send any full pics right now, but kitchen is an absolute train wreck and is still 'down'. Here are a couple of 'in process' views: This is the opposite wall on the other side of the island/kitchen, where the fridge and ovens are in recessed spaces -- crown molding ends at 96". So, perhaps this works in our kitchen since there's balance....See Morebusymom03
