I d like to move them up on the wall and add a shelf below.
Moving kitchen cabinets up to ceiling.
Move the current cabinets up to the ceiling and add open shelving to the space below to create modern look.
Standard cabinets can also allow for indirect uplighting through light fixtures mounted on the tops of the cabinets.
If you have space above the current kitchen cabinets then you can use that to your advantage.
This capability is lost when you run the cabinets fully to the ceiling.

If your cabinets are too high you will need a ladder to access them.
There are a few different factors to consider before deciding whether or not to extend your cabinets.
My kitchen wall cabinets are about 20 down from the ceiling.
This also allows you to hide the stained plastic ware and tall tumblers in the space above and still show off the best dishes that you own.
We are really into extending things and making them look bigger.
Extending kitchen cabinets to the ceiling is a great way to increase cabinet storage space and make your kitchen appear larger.
The kitchen cabinets and molding do not go to the ceiling and the wall cabinets and trim will be just below the ceiling.
And if your kitchen has ornate built up crown moldings they will probably need to be removed to install full rise wall cabinets and it may be impossible.
Adding a shelf below and beside the cabinets gave me the old storage space i m used to but with the opportunity to put my prettier dishes on display a chance for.
Cabinets including crown molding will go all the way to the ceiling with one wall cabinet.
Any crown molding or trim will continue around the room above the cabinetry.
This will be quite stressful and a bit dangerous.
We also just extended our lower kitchen cabinets by adding open shelving and a tilt out trash can but the newest thing we did was extend our upper kitchen cabinets to the ceiling using one piece of wood.
We nailed it when we extended our fireplace to the ceiling and made the room look so much taller.
