One thing we have definitely seen over our years of experience is the impact cabinet height can have in a kitchen. Not only does it impact the visual design, but also how well the kitchen functions and the amount of storage capacity the space features. 

When deciding how tall your cabinets should be, it’s crucial to consider the following: 

  • How tall the ceilings are
  • If there’s crown molding present
  • How much storage you need
  • What your design vision is for the space 

 

Common Cabinet Heights

There are a few standard heights for kitchen cabinets. Let’s take a look at some of their key features: 

  • Wall Cabinets. In kitchens with 8 foot ceilings, standard wall cabinets between 30 and 36 inches may be best. If your kitchen has ceilings 9 feet or taller, 42 inch cabinets will be ideal. 
  • Upper Cabinets. If you have tall ceilings, cabinets between 48 and 54 inches are a great way to optimize storage. 
  • Short Cabinets. You can also utilize shorter cabinets that are less than 36 inches tall as a way to stack cabinets and fill in empty spaces. 
  • Tall Cabinets. Tall cabinets can draw the eye upward and give the illusion of higher ceilings. You may consider floor to ceiling cabinets as a makeshift pantry or to store other items. In a kitchen with 8 foot ceilings, 96 inch cabinets will run from floor to ceiling. 

 

Cabinet Refinishing In Centerville

Many kitchen designs feature upper cabinets with crown molding at the top and about a foot of space between the cabinets and the ceiling. A common trend now is for cabinets to reach the ceiling, providing more storage and making the room appear taller. 

Whatever cabinets you feature in your home, WoodWorks Refurbishing can make them look their best with professional cabinet refinishing in Centerville.
