Now that i started thinking about it since regardless we a.
42 inch cabinets 10 foot ceiling.
But be warned the extra space does come with a few caveats.
In a kitchen with a 9 foot ceiling you re usually left with 54 inches of space for upper cabinets.
36 lower 18 backsplash 42 uppers 18 cabinets above leaving 6 crown.
Yes the storage space is not much use for me but my husband can reach most of it and he does more cooking than i do.
I noticed various cabinet manufactures only offer 30 and 42 inch wall cabinets and not 36.
I would not do it again but it works.
With rta or ready to assemble cabinets you would normally use tall 42 inch wall cabinets leaving you with a 12 inch space between your cabinet tops and the ceiling.
I am determining if the following works for my 10 kitchen ceiling.
For the upper cabinets we could combine a 42 inch high cabinet with a 12 inch high cabinet.
Cost wise this is turning out to be our of our budget to do ceiling height so we priced out 42 inch cabinets.
But no molding room.
Using 42 tall upper cabinets.
Single doors will look ridiculous higher than than 42 you should stack cabinetry or have have a combined cabinet with small doors on top if you go higher than 42 and always have molding to the ceiling if you are closer than 9 inches away.
Base cabinet 36 inches high 18 inches from counter top to bottom of 12 inch cabinet then 42 inch cabinet on top brings you to 9 ft.
I also did 42 inch uppers with an eight foot ceiling.
So this is how it would measure up.
36 bottom cabinets 18 backsplash area 48 uppers only leave 6 for crown in a 10 ceiling kitchen.
Cabinets all the way to ceiling.
If you have 8 foot tall ceilings and want cabinets that run to the ceiling 42 inch tall wall cabinets will fit perfectly.
We are redoing our kitchen and originally i had the idea of doing ceiling height cabinets for reference we have 9 foot ceilings.
52 combined cabinetry would only work if the ceiling was perfectly level.
You have 8 soffit.
42 cabinets in eight foot ceiling kitchen i know there is no room for crown molding how do you think it will look with just a small piece of finished trim instead of crown.
My ceiling is close enough that my approach was to ignore the issue.
Some people are completely focused on having as much storage as possible in the kitchen and selecting 42 upper cabinets will definitely give you more space.
Or we could combine a 36 inch high cabinet with an 18 inch high cabinet.
To make cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling we d need another 54 inches of cabinetry because 54 plus 54 equal 108.
Many manufacturers of stock cabinetry offer wall cabinets in heights of 12 15 18 24 30 32 36 and 42 inches.
