10 ft ceiling with kitchen cabinets to the top?
Comments (21)I know you are just asking for price comparison and I don't have numbers to share for that. As others have shared there are so many variables that will contribute to that cost. I did want to share that I have been in a lot of new homes with 10 foot ceilings and cabines go the top can feel very awkward if not carried out well. I wanted tall cabinets, but didn't want to have everything to the 10 foot height of ours, so opted for a variation. We went with a large sized coffered ceiling in our house that is under construction. The crown on all of the upper cabinets will touch the bottom of the coffered ceiling beams. With the exception of the baking area (cabinets between the double ovens and fridge cabinet) these cabinets were dropped even lower. Excuse that we are unfinished, but you kind of get the feel. we still used glass in the upper sections and the cabinets are huge. Great for decorations or things you use once a year....See MoreKitchen w/ 10ft ceiling?
Comments (6)My 10 ft ceilings had 42" uppers with about 6" of crown in the original kitchen. When we redid it, we used 42" uppers and glass above (they are 15 or 18"?) and then a crown to the ceiling on the perimeter. My storage wall has 84" pantries and the fridge with 27" cabinets above that to the same crown. Those and the one above the ovens are solid doors in painted finishes. My room opens to a breakfast and family room that has the ceiling vaulted from 10 feet to about 14-1/2 feet, so we might have been good even with a wood finish. I have seen wood finished cabinets done all the way to tall ceilings and look great -- they have generally been in older homes, so to 12 or 14 feet in larger kitchens. Some folks have done large boxes with 2 doors or a single door that looks like 2 doors. My cabinet person said the taller door could be too tall or heavy to hold up well over time. I think the door looking like 2 doors gives more cross support and structural integrity if you want to go that route. A neighbor apparently wanted the look of cabinets to the ceiling and not the expense (or wasn't replacing cabinets and couldn't quite match) so they put open shelves above on one side of the kitchen painted to match the cabinets they attached to below. They have display in the top and some cookbooks underneath. It works. I would not go with less than 42" uppers with the tall ceilings and nothing above. You can accent the open space with some lighting -- an inexpensive rope lighting or even a string of Christmas tree lights give a nice glow and won't need to be dusted to look good....See MoreDouble stock wall cabinets 10 ft ceiling
Comments (7)I've been looking at so many pictures lately, I can't seem to find what I'm looking for when I try to go back to it, but if you still want to fill the space above the two cabinets, I recently saw a DIY wood soffit with crown that looked really good (not your typical 90's drywall soffit that sticks out a bit), it was similar to the bottom picture hollysprings posted with the small portion of wall above the cabinets. I'll keep an eye out for the post, I think it was on a blog somewhere, but it's something you might consider. I like cabinets to the ceiling, too. I think keeping it simple above the cabinet helps draw the eye back down in the spirit of the 2/3 to 1/3 proportion while closing up the dust trap and giving you the clean look you're going for....See More10ft Ceilings - Run Cabinets All the Way to Ceiling?
Comments (26)I love the look of your kitchen, babs, I think the open space above is a great look. Unless you have money to burn AND a too-large kitchen, I vote for 8 to 8.5 ft of cabinets with cove lighting above. What does cove lighting do? It gives soft indirect light which is always more flattering than high wattage central bulbs. Plus for smaller kitchens it highlights the openness of your ceilings and turns dark, murky shadows above the cabinets into a pleasant accent feature. I love all your stacked/stacked look pics above, guys, especially with the backlit top row. But worth the extra money over cove lighting? Probably not unless you have an unlimited budget or you've REALLY REALLY gotta have it. Then you probably should get it. :) Davif...See MoreDave
