u003cpu003eThere are cases when taller is always better, such as in basketball or for step stools. But are tall kitchen cabinets that run up to your ceiling a good idea? Ceiling-height cabinets can offer advantages, but they are not the right solution in every situation. For some people, ceiling-height kitchen cabinets create more problems than they solve. Let’s look at the reasons for and against running your cabinets to the ceiling. u003c/pu003ernu003ch2u003eWHAT ARE CEILING-HEIGHT KITCHEN CABINETS?u003c/h2u003ernu003cpu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.wolfhomeproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Livingston_SmartShield_Ivory_2.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-full wp-image-13319 aligncenteru0022 src=u0022https://www.wolfhomeproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Livingston_SmartShield_Ivory_2.jpgu0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022843u0022 height=u00221200u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eu003c/pu003ernu003cfigureu003ernu003cfigcaptionu003eu003cbr /u003ernWolf Signature cabinets, Livingston door style, Ivory SmartShieldu003c/figcaptionu003ernu003c/figureu003ernu003cpu003eu0026nbsp;u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eCeiling-high kitchen cabinets reach the ceiling in your kitchen. Some kitchen cabinetry stops a foot or two before the ceiling. But when you install ceiling-height cabinets, you get no room at the top. The cabinets continue on a smooth line until they meet the ceiling. u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eFor many years, the gap between the cabinet tops and the ceiling remained standard. The cabinets were more accessible without needing a step stool to reach the cabinet’s top shelves. Recently, however, more homeowners and home builders have been employing the floor-to-ceiling look. The approach gives people more cabinet space, which many desire. u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eu003cimg class=u0022aligncenteru0022 src=u0022https://app.webfx.com/uploads/259723572u0022 alt=u0022pros and cons of ceiling-height kitchen cabinetsu0022 width=u0022898u0022 height=u00221291u0022 /u003eu003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eWhat should you consider when you think about getting kitchen cabinets that reach the ceiling?

You probably store a lot of things in your kitchen. Would it make your life easier to add even more storage so you wouldn’t have to cram everything into your existing cabinets? If so, then ceiling-height cabinets are an easy solution.u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eCabinets come in standard sizes, and to reach the ceiling, you will need to figure out what size works best. Most kitchen ceilings are 8 to 9 feet high. You can likely use 42-inch tall wall cabinets, with 12-inch additions on top if needed, to achieve the height you want. You can fill any gaps with crown moulding. u003c/pu003ernu003ch2u003eWHEN NOT TO USE CEILING-HEIGHT KITCHEN CABINETSu003c/h2u003ernu003cpu003eu0026nbsp;u003c/pu003ernu003cfigureu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.wolfhomeproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Sloane_Mocha_1.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-full wp-image-13321u0022 src=u0022https://www.wolfhomeproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Sloane_Mocha_1.jpgu0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u00221200u0022 height=u0022801u0022 /u003eu003c/au003eu003cbr /u003ernu003cbr /u003ernu003cfigcaptionu003eu003cbr /u003ernBuilders Mark cabinets, Sloane door style, Mocha stainu003c/figcaptionu003ernu003c/figureu003ernu003cpu003eu0026nbsp;u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eThe main factor in your decision should be whether you like the appearance of ceiling-height cabinets. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets look different than ones that end before the ceiling. If you think they look too crowded or you like the way cabinets look when they have some space above, then ceiling-height cabinets may not be the right choice. u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eSome homes also have non-standard ceiling sizes. You might, for instance, have a soaring ceiling on one side that slopes down throughout the kitchen. You shouldn’t attempt to run your cabinets to the ceiling in these cases. You will need to ensure your cabinets are completely customized to your space, which can cost significantly more. They will also likely look odd, and installing them may be more labor intensive. u003c/pu003ernu003cpu003eYou may also arrive at an answer that’s in-between. If your kitchen has a beam that runs around the room right below the ceiling, for instance, then your cabinets don’t need to go all the way to the ceiling. They can stop right at the beam instead. u003c/pu003ernu003ch2u003eGET STARTED WITH WOLF HOME PRODUCTS TODAYu003c/h2u003ernu003cpu003eCeiling-height cabinets can be a wonderful addition to many homes, and you can look for your new cabinets from a Wolf Home Products dealer. u003ca href=u0022https://www.wolfhomeproducts.com/where-to-buy/u0022u003eSearch for a dealer near youu003c/au003e to begin.u003c/pu003e
