Up to the ceiling! Definitely! Had it in my last two kitchens and just about to have a new one with up to the ceiling. Not only does it take away the dust catching, rubbish collecting gap... it gives you more storage space! You can never have enough storage space! Plus...it makes the room look taller.

Hi, we at Dual Designs are often designing kitchens up to the ceiling. It is usually because of the client requiring more cupboard space, along with making sure the design will suit their beautiful dream kitchen. We have designed cabinets up to the ceiling in large and small rooms, both work really well. It mainly comes down to person taste, some people would never leave a gap at the top, with the 'dust trap' word mentioned. Others who don't mind a gap would often say they can't reach high units and don't want to use a ladder. We always consider both the practical side along with the design and give an honest assessment to help our clients.

I would think taking the cabinets up to the ceiling can work though a good designer will confirm this for you, so I hope that helps and good luck

I am in the process of renovating our house and kitchen also and have opted for the floor to ...almost ceiling. I was advised that as it is an older house the walls and ceilings are not completely even so better to have it almost to ceiling but leaving a gap to allow for the differences. I also found that using old newspapers for the top of units to catch the dust an inexpensive and easy option for controlling the dust. So far so good!

I am getting a new kitchen soon & am definitely having up to the ceiling no gap. Looks really good & is not a dust collector.

Excellent, glad the advise page worked so well for you. All the best
