8 ft ceilings. Rancher home.

If you want more storage space, have vertical sliding door cabinets custom made for that space above the cabinets, and you will add 40% more storage area that is otherwise just wasted space.

Can you please share a picture? I can’t visualize it.

Something like this. but doesn't have to be glass doors where clutter is visible.

Picture above is with 8ft ceiling. Relatives have something similar on regular 8 ft ceilings but different style doors that slide horizontally instead of opening out.

Looks like it, but with a semi-recessed area in center of ceiling.

Are we looking at different pictures? The one I see has a “globe” light in the forefront. The cabinetry on stove top wall is very tall. Look at the drip coffee maker for perspective. The black bar under the glass door cabinets is likely used to attach a ladder so you can reach them. That’s not 8ft.

Those are st least 9.5ft if you don’t count the depth of the molding on the ceiling.

Thank you to all who have responded so far.

I realize that I wasn’t clear. I want the cabinets to go to the ceiling, but I don’t k ow if regular crown molding or some very in moulding would be better. Will one be too much and the other be too little?

I thought you were clear. When you say to the ceiling I understand that to mean you don’t want any space between top of cabinet and ceiling. Makes sense, you don’t want dust. I think you should get some sort of molding because ceilings aren’t likely flush. You don’t want to swing your cabinet door open and have it scrape the ceiling. I suggest you look at some pictures of kitchens (houzz, contractor websites, or cabinet manufacturers websites) to see what size molding works for you in your kitchen.

We also have 8ft ceilings and we went with crown molding over the new kitchen cabinets. It makes our room look taller. Plus, it helps with the ceiling being out of plum. All houses are out of plum and the molding can be made so you won’t notice that. Our molding maybe takes up 6” until the cabinets start. We don’t miss that space at all, plus one of us couldn’t even reach that.

It's "plumb".

It’s highly likely it’s not. Hardly any houses, old or new, have walls and ceilings that are perfectly level.

I’m not a fan of crown molding. We renovated our kitchen and took the upper cabinets to the ceiling (9’). I like clean lines.
