Maybe smaller crown molding?? I think the molding on the top of the hood vent looks odd.

I would also switch out the light fixture over the island to a pendant. The tilted base of the current fixture accentuates the slant of the ceiling.

Vent hood crown is bad. Also fixed light on angle. Need a few pot lights then some kind of pendants

i dont see the problem . firstly.the kitchen isnt set up. fridge on left ..dishwasher on far right? sink and faucet not yet chosen? you have an island it appears? have these missing components been chosen and ordered? since the wall holds all the appliances and sink I'd be sure and get coordinated stainless. the hood is nice. then shifting to island..do you have the option of overhang w stools and pendant light? thats going to be a lot of the focus in your space. the counter/backsplash/ faucet hardware ..all those things at eye level should be thought through because its a compact little space but I dont see why the ceiling pitch is a problem....3 cabinets on the wall is a small part of the overall.....if anything the ceiling pitch is a nice feature. a lot of prefab homes have low ceilings ,...this looks a little nicer. I guess I think its NOT BROKEN so no fixing is needed.....in fact its not even finished.

Agree with @herbflavor - i would just take a big breath and wait till everything is installed and then you can see if there are things you want to address

I like the ceiling! The thing that looks weird to me is the light  fixture that is just stuck on the ceiling. A hanging light/ chandelier would look amazing from the high ceiling.

Just needs some tweaking.

I'd order cabinets for over the fridge when it goes in so that the kitchen looks more complete.

I'd select a different light fixture for the room

Get them to remove that crown from the hood. It's not supposed to be installed like that.

I like the crown molding on top of the cabinets, it lets my eye see how nice and straight and even they are. As suggested get a different light fixture, remove the molding from the vent, finish the kitchen -- I bet you'll love it!

Stick with Beverly’s suggestions. If your walls and cabinets are the same color, the angld ceiling wil be barely noticeable as long as you don’t put funky decor, fake plants, etc up there. Make sure you have nice under cabinrt lighting to draw the eye toward the main part of the kitchen. Everything looks weird when not complete, so hang in ther,

I agree with other that slanted ceiling not a problem it a good thing.
The bottom of molding on the hood exhaust needs to be square to the floor not slanted to the ceiling.
you need task lighting on the ceiling over the counter work area.

As others have said - the moulding around the vent hood doesn't look good and should be removed. Pick yourself some good flooring that is beautiful and durable. Choose some nice looking bar stools for the island. Also choose a good countertop and backsplash. Would suggest you go on the dramatic side for the countertop and less so on the backsplash. Good luck!

thanks everyone for your responses and suggestions I am a little anal when it comes to stuff that seems off LOL Just so you know that light fixture in the kitchen wasnt even suppose to be there so its being removed I will definitely have the moulding around range hood fixed as suggested Also my fridge does not go there it is actually on another wall that you cant see in the picture i will be having a full length pantry or cupboard of some sort to fill in that gap The vaulted ceiling is what is throwing me off as i asked for cathedral but my builder says it is considered cathedral and with these types of homes thats how they do it I never seen any pictures during the building stages so i couldnt see what i liked or disliked if changed needed to be made Again thanks everyone i appreciate all of your responses and will post a photo once i have it finished ❤️

Yes. Let us know how it turns out.

If you google "vaulted ceiling in kitchen" you will find several pics that will give you an idea of the finished look. The room is so undone right now, that you are focusing on the only items in it. Haven't seen any vent hoods with crown molding though. Good Luck

I guess i cant get pass all the empty space i see maybe cupbaords should have been custom not standard

the moulding around the hood looks awful yes and who knows they may have screwed the ceiling up somehow and put that around it to cover it up

Valentina i will be putting some sort of decor up there it will look too empty

Norwood Architechs my colors are navy and white with gold accents i have a white quartz countertop and backsplash is white subway tile with a hint of gold veining

I would paint the ceiling the same color as the walls, which would help to minimize the obviousness of the slant.

i am having the walls painted actaully in white the builder doesnt paint to what the owner wants so i have to have it done myself

I totally empathize with you. I have a huge pet peeve about cabinets that don't go all the way to the ceiling. But, I also really detest objects placed on top of cabinets too. Take everyone's advice. If it still bothers you, could you make some kind of wedged shaped soffit that creates a straight line on top of the cabinets and goes up to the angle of the ceiling? I'm not a builder, and this might be a terrible idea. Just trying to address what seems to be irksome to you and would drive me bonkers too.

If they looked like the ones in picture i would be happy

Thats an excellent idea

Thats another problem my version of a cathedral ceiling didnt look like this This to me is a vaulted ceiling but am told its the same My builder should have shown me in advance because when i decided on cathedral this wasnt what i meant If this was a cathedral ceiling like i wanted i wouldnt have this problem

What type of build is this? If truly custom you would have been a part of all the plans and stages and it never should have got to this point if it isn’t what you want.

Its a manufactured home I did ask for photos during the stages but they do not provide that service

I did not choose their plan i had my own and they revised them to fit the square footagd

I agree, the crown molding on the cabinets doesn't help - I would have them remove all of it, if possible.

The only two things that look really off is the light on the angle which can be fixed with a hanging fixture and the crown on the hood-UGH! That is the worse. I feel a boxed in hood cabinet may have been a better choice. Straight across with crown to match the top cabinets and then a box in the back painted the same as the wall to hide the vent tube.

the fixture will be removed as it wasnt even suppose to be there im not sure yet anout the crown moulding i may hane something different put there

I thought that ”cathedral” = symetrical vaulted ceiling - and that all cathedral ceilings are considered vaulted ceilings, but not all vaulted ceilings are cathedral ceilings (in other words, cathedral ceilings are a subset of vaulted ceilings). However, I am not an architect or developer/builder - I only am only an attorney who specializes in real estate development and business law - so, i am definitely not an expert in this area!

I also don’t have any design experience, but here are a few thoughts:

The first thing I noticed was the crown added around the vent hood. It looks really odd to me. I also think that it’s difficult to tell how this will look with so much left to finish.

However, I think that changing the vent + replacing the current lighting over the island is a good idea.

Also, will the pantry/cabinet fill the entire open space on the left side?

Last Q, where are you planning to end your backsplash tile? I think that it might look nice if you ran it up to the ceiling.

I found some photos of kitchens with similar sloped ceilings with different hood covers + backsplashes to ceilings to give you some ideas.

I am not suggesting this tile (or sticking a dark wood cabinet on the wall) - this was just an example that popped up when I did a quick search:

This ceiling in this next photo is what I would have thought of if I asked for a cathedral ceiling - but it shows how installing the backsplash up to the ceiling can fill up that empty space. If you cover up one side of the photo, it gives you another idea of how taking your tile all the way up to ceiling would look with your slanted ceiling.

I think it looks much better than sticking things on top of your cabinets (I dislike that look -probably because of all the fake plants that were shoved into the spaces between cabinets and ceilings in the 90s!):

This photo shows how replacing the light fixture would look (although the island is turned) + a cover over your hood vent:

Another one w replacing light fixture with one large pendant (plus, different cover for vent). I think they should have brought tile all the way up on right side - wouldn’t need a lot more to do it (although, the tile does blend in with the wall paint so maybe it’s not really needed - I just like having the entire area filled):

EDIT - I actually just found this photo - I think with the way the vent is covered that it breaks up the wall area and doesn’t need tile to the ceiling. I also like the items added above the cabinets:

Perhaps you can box-in your vent with the same material as the cabinets. You can get a pendant for sloped ceilings. One thing I found odd is the space that seems planned for the refrigerator on the right, seems awfullly small.

If you have space, I would place a normal size refrigerator on the left with matching cabinets above. If you can do that then you can leave the vent as is but replace that huge moulding at the ceiling by one much les conspicuous.

Oh I feel your pain. I fretted over the same exact problem with my range hood. We have cathedral or vaulted ceiling too.

Between my husband and our KD they figured out a solution. I did not like the stand alone style stainless hood which we already had. We would have to add on to the pipe making it going up through the angled ceiling. I didn’t want that more modern look in our farm house.

So she ordered an extra deep cabinet and my husband modified the cabinet so the vent pipe went through the cabinet bottom and then out the back wall. Would something like that work in your house since it is on an outside wall?

Yeah that white crown at the top of the pipe looks pretty silly. I have seen where they box in the vent pipe above the top of the hood cabinet and paint it the wall color, but I really don’t like that either.

That first photo posted by dani with the turquoise backsplash would look nice, if they just didn’t have that dark wood upper on the wall. That looks weird to me.

Sorry, I admit, I am a total nitpicker. We still need to finish SO much stuff in our house that drive me nuts too! (the mismatched light plugs. etc…Ugh!) The tv above the fridge is gone now too. I am still debating what to do with that bat cave lol!

Here is what we ended up with in case it helps. My husband wanted the hood cabinet raised up a little above the other wall cabinets. I would have liked it to be all the same level, but I was ok with it.

Another thing, I never ended up painting the pre painted bead board center panel to match the white on the cabinets. We used that and a small board to fill in the cabinet opening to hide the pipe part. Life goes on and we alway say lets finish the kitchen, but that days never comes.

I dont mind that at all at least most of it is staright across I like it

@rebunky - I completely agree with you re: that dark cabinet stuck on the wall in that forst photo - seems pretty odd! I was just quickly searching for examples of kitchens where the tile was taken up to a sloped ceiling!

Your kitchen looks nice! I couldn’t tell that the beadboard hasn’t been painted to match your cabinets. There are always so many little details to get a project finished!

I am moving my OTR microwave and adding a hood vent as part of my kitchen renovation - does having it vent out the side wall work as well as taking it up through the roof? If so, I’d like to do that with mine. I don’t know how much it costs to do a side vent through an exterior wall vs. up and out through the roof - was it super expensive to have yours vented out through the wall?

Thanks!

The tiled backsplash all the way up the wall looks great.

I’d be upset if I got a different kind of ceiling than I thought, but I think it looks okay. You’re getting good ideas for dealing with the “surprise”.

@lisedv the refridgerator isnt on that wall i will be putting in a tall cubboard or pantry to fill in the space the light in the ceiling was never suppose to be there and will be removed as i have two pendant lights that will go over the island

I’d strongly advise you to just continue the counter to the left with storage below and more cabinets (above as well). You’d probably just have to have them redo the crown on the left upper. Putting in a cupboard or freestanding cabinet there will only add to the disjointed look of that whole wall.

@dani_mo8
Yes the second picture is a cathedral ceiling which is what I had in mind when I asked for one, but my builder, I guess, considers it to be cathedral yet says they couldn’t put what I classified as cathedral, but did I know that beforehand? No, not until my house was delivered to my property.
