Should kitchen cabinets go to the ceiling?
Kitchen cabinets that go to the ceiling add storage and remove the dusty gap on top, and they make standard-height ceilings look taller. In most remodels they are a sensible choice.
The catch is reach: the top row is hard to get to without a step stool, so it suits seasonal items. Stacked cabinets with a second, shorter row on top, sometimes with glass doors, are a common way to fill the height.
If a soffit fills the space now, find out what is inside before you plan. Empty soffits come out easily; ones carrying ducts or vents need rerouting, which adds a permit and cost.
