Build kitchen units right up to sloped ceiling height?

Ellie

6 years ago

Here is the current side window of our kitchen.

Wall on the left of pic will be completely removed to open up into the dining room next door.

Wall on the right will be where we will have 3.6m sliding doors onto the garden, wall 5m length on that size.

The window in this pic below will be blocked up, and all the kitchen units will be across that wall.

The ceiling height on the left of the window is 2.85m going down to 2.15m

Kitchen units - do I take the wall units right up to the slope?

I actually dont like seeing pics where there are units that just end with a big triangular gap above.

Any recommendations? I can't seem to find any pics when I google for inspiration.

Thanks!

Do you have to have wall units on that wall? you could go for shelves and avoid the headache.

Or maybe you could get a carpenter to box the gap:

or build small fake units:

Or use some slim cabinets:

Luciana's last photo shows, IMHO, that a triangular gap above units can actually look good.

Filling that gap up might look fussy and is tricky to finish perfectly, I think.

We used a local company specialising in bespoke kitchens which could fit cupboards all the way up to the ceiling. It was a more expensive option but was so much better value for money in the long-term as it gave us masses of space. A small set of aluminium steps hangs inside one cupboard. True, some of the space is less accessible on a day-to-day basis. But it is dust-free!

Help with kitchen extension full of damp low sloping ceilings

I would definitely recommend finding out the sources of damp in the extension before you embark on any project. As was mentioned before - definitely check the guttering as a lot of the bubbled plaster inside seems to be around that area. I once looked at a house which had a line of bubbled plaster inside and, surprise surprise, directly outside on the solid was was a gutter pipe. A good inspection of the roof is worth it - are the lead flashings in good shape? There is also the odd exposed section of brick on your neighbours extension - could that be transmitting water into your party wall? The other thing to consider is the amount if moisture produced in a kitchen - its a lot more than you think and can raise humidity in a house over 60% (therefore leading to mould, etc). Therefore opening windows when cooking, adding an extractor fan are good ideas. You can buy devices very cheaply which will tell you the humidity in a room. It will help you out in the long run - afterall, if you do the rework to the extension the problem may re-occur!

Thanks for comments. Daisy- yes this is an issue we are trying to deal with, ideally we would have 2x tall FF’s but if we convert the to base units, then 4x600 base fridge/freezer units take up more floor space than 2x tall 600 wide FF’s, and will mean that there is not enough floor space for everything else we need in the kitchen! Jonathan - like the plan, however the bottom right hand corner has an opening to a storage area so tv couldn’t go there. The engineering bricks are the least of our worries I think as they are only 100mm deeper than the rest of the wall, so I assume we can just put up some simple 100mm studwork to even out the wall to allow ease of placing kitchen units etc.

Hi Francis, Just a thought if you need a sofa and may have trouble getting up the stairs with big and bulky sofas. We make our sofas from modular units, ie a 2 seat sofa can come in 2 parts not 1 thus helping to navigate the stairs. Check out our website The London Furniture Company. Best regards The London Furniture Company

Making a feature of the gap with some nice lighting might be an option for you. Looking forward to seeing what you decide.
