Cabinet design and ceiling height

6 years ago

I like this cabinet design. Is this a 8' ceiling with 42" cabinets that you decided to stack them next to the fridge, or is this a 9' ceiling with 54" cabinets that has a mixture of single 54" cabinets and a stacked cabinet next to the fridge? Thanks!

Hello J G,

Thank you for your interest in our design - it was a very fun and unique project with those tall ceilings! In this kitchen we were working with a 9' ceiling and used 48" high cabinets with stacked molding above to reach the ceiling. The two cabinets you see next to the left of the refrigerator are stacked. The bottom is a 45"w x 18"h and the top is 45"w x 30"h. Hope this helps!

Thanks for asking,

In addition to your other post (https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/5762468/built-in-oven-and-hob-type-recommendations-also-island-length-for-hon#24431315) here's my idea. Ignore the roofline as much as possible. Place the boiler in a cabinet with a height that ends where the upper cabinets start. Tall cabinets with fridge freezer and oven are against the other wall, together with a 'coffee niche'. Cabinet with washing machine the same height as the boilet cabinet, assuming you don't have a dryer.

I can see a few ways to do this, Probably the easiest way is to have an extra deep larder tower made thats about 700 or 800 wide, fit a shelf at the height you want and strengthen it to take the weight of the dishwasher when loaded, fit another shelf above the dishwasher to stop it from accidently tipping and then just slide in a freestanding dishwasher, make sure there's ventilation in the unit and its done. Another way would be to use the drawer type dishwashers that Fisher and Paykel (599mm wide) make, these can have integrated made to measure fronts fitted and then stand this on a low single drawer cabinet made to the height you want the dishwasher to stand, clad this with tower decor panels so you can then fix a top cupboard above the dishwasher and it will look like a larder with drawers at the bottom. The difficulty would be trying to use a standard integrated dishwasher as these don't fit in a unit either as they're about 597mm wide and the door is fitted to the front. When you open the door it swings down and the bottom of the door arcs inwards, sometimes even the plinth needs to be cut to allow for this, if you stood this on a cabinet you wouldn't have any plinth, but a dummy panel which is flush with the door fronts and as the machine door swings down the bottom of the integrated facia would catch on the dummy frontal and so wouldn't open. But there are a few integrated washing machines that can overcome this as they're used when you have an inframe kitchen and skirting plinth (ie the plinth is flush with the bottom of doors and not stepped behind) and the swing action of the door as you open it the door lifts up as it swings forward so the bottom of the door doesn't catch on anything. So as Daisy has said there's no point going into the sheds, all you'll get is a blank look from the sales person as the computer says 'no' you really need to go to a decent independant and get something bespoke which doesn't have to be overly expensive and you'll need a decent fitter as well.

Low ceiling height for loft conversion
Q

Hi all. Thanks for the advice. Actually, hopefully a little bit of a win win on this. My contractor is going to lower the ceilings and we should be able to grab an extra 10cm. I’m also living in a loft room at the moment which is around the 2.25 mark, so my new space should be about the same as that in the end, which has never felt cramped at all. I did a little bit of extra research and did find that the average is often only around 2.1 so probably lucky to get it as high as I am. Oddly i think it is a perceptual thing as well. I went round to a friends town house recently and 2.25 on their top floor felt very low - yet the same size in a loft conversion feels perfectly normal

Agreed - just box in what you need to, the ceiling height isn't very tall to begin with so you don't want to lose any. It kind of makes sense to do the full peninsula to make it look like a design feature as well as a functional feature, but leave above the tall units and the rest of the kitchen to be as open as possible.
