Standard kitchen units usually reach up to the ceilingthey just don't reach, and in the space between, dust accumulates and useful space is lost. Wouldn't it be a convenient solution to install wall-high cabinets, which are now popular all over the world? Read about the advantages and disadvantages of this idea in our article Kitchen to the ceiling pros and cons: it's easier to say why not all cabinets are made wall-high. Firstly, it is often difficult to do this due to the configuration of the ceiling and communication systems. Secondly, the cost of the facade increases with an increase in its area. And thirdly, with a ceiling height of almost 3 meters, you can guarantee problems with access to the very top shelves. Nevertheless, giant cabinets have enough advantages and many fans. Irina Zaitseva, interior designer: - In my opinion, cabinets up to the ceiling look optimal in large open spaces. This is a very good solution for those who need a lot of space to store everything they need. Many will be pleased that the entire wall is closed - you do not have to think about its decor and color, but will simply have to choose the overall image of the kitchen in a single style and create it from modules. Storage space It is not for nothing that so-called mezzanines, shelves arranged under the very ceiling, have been popular for so many years. We will always find something to put in the closet: formal sets of dishes given as a wedding gift but never used, supplies of containers, tablecloths, jars and unnecessary household appliances. Yes, they will not be at hand, but the space will not be wasted. Think about how you will get things from the top shelf - in large kitchens, sometimes even special ladders are provided for this.

Lightness in the interior Yes, despite the fact thatthe total weight of the cabinets increases, there are ways to use this to your advantage. For example, arrange open shelves right under the ceiling for purely decorative items - ceramics, flower arrangements. Another way was invented by manufacturers. In the line of furniture from the Leicht factory, cabinet mounts are installed directly on the ceiling, and the modules "float in the air" above the countertop or kitchen island. Very impressive and at the same time functional, like many achievements of German design. Inna Raskina, interior designer: - Sometimes, when coming up with a project, I, as the one responsible for its beautiful external and internal appearance, suffer from an internal struggle between two (at least) options for kitchen design. So, when it comes to ceiling-high cabinets, the thrifty housewife in me speaks, who never has enough storage space. And every centimeter of the kitchen must work, dust should not settle on the upper cabinets and open shelves, everything unnecessary should be hidden from prying eyes. Moreover, the height of the ceilings and the area of the kitchen allow for the long-awaited wall cabinets to reach the ceiling, and for the sake of beauty and lightening the structure, the upper tier can even be designed as display cabinets. facebook.com/inna.raskina.3
