This is a popular updated post from our last home For YEARS Ive been planning to build our cabinets up to the ceiling. Thankfully it went really quickly and was a fairly simple build.

The first step is to measure the portion of the empty spaces above the kitchen cabinets.
Build Shelves Above Kitchen Cabinets. Agreed about figuring out the use of shelves and counters first. Ill admit I was a little anxious on how I would extend our kitchen cabinets so I hesitated a bit. The first thing you have to measure is the height of the empty space.
To do that you need your measuring tools. Build your shelf pieces starting with the bottom. The brand new task after building and installing the range hood was to close that empty space above the cabinets.
Attach the two support strips to the bottom shelf. From installing brand new cabinets that fit the space to raising the existing cabinets to adding open shelves to creating small doors to adding some elaborate. I thought it would be much more involved than it was.
I did this by cutting a 34 piece of plywood to size and attaching a 1 34 piece of faceframe really just another piece of plywood to the front of the shelf to match the face of the other cabinets. From the beginning of the entire kitchen renovation closing that space was one of my top priorities and now even more because I had to cover the hood ducting that I installed for the range hood. Take a stool and stand up in there to have a better look.
These shelves work for any kind of cabinetry including kitchen islands base cabinets hanging cabinets etc Plywood makes great shelves because its very sturdy and stable. Youll be rounding one edge of the shelf unit so draw a 90-degree curve in the top-left corner. For the average person this distance is the ideal balance between plenty of space to work on the countertop and the ability to reach all of the shelves in the cabinet.
Plywood wont shrink and expand like regular solid wood making it ideal for not only the cabinet carcass itself but the shelving within. The cabinets will be completely painted so this is NOT the finished product this is the progress so far. We wanted something that would read more old hutch than modern open shelf and decided to use large curved brackets that would connect the shelves to the cabinets.
Take a piece of paper and note everything down. There were so many ways we could have filled in that space above the cabinets. The standard distance between the top of a kitchen counter and the bottom of the wall cabinets above it is 18 inches.
Below the cabinets we set to work designing shelves that would fit our modern-traditional-country-Farmhouse kitchen. We did 19 above the counter to clear our stand mixer with some room to spare so I could pick it up and move it and used the IKEA Ekby shelf brackets in the 11 size which worked well for us coffee supplies mugs etc. Turn the bottom shelf over and cut out the rounded corner for the shelf.
We decided to build a shelf in lieu of that cabinet so that we could leave the microwave at relatively the same height.
