What size should my upper cabinets be in a 9 ft ceiling L shaped kitchen?

    Here is something to give you an idea, so you can see what it will look like in reality with 9' ceiling which is actually rough framing = 109 1/8" - 1/2" sheetrock - 3/4 floor finish = 107 7/8" ( 8' 11 7/8") By the way stacked 42 + 15 will not fit.

    I hope it helps.

      I like 42”+12” uppers with the 12” being glass with lights I think it looks so much better than a space at the top that just gathers dust and stuff and this also will give you max. storage.

      39"+12" = room for the crown

      Doing 42"+12" will bring you right against the ceiling and you cannot finish the top. If there is a slight variation in the ceiling, it could cause a problem.

      How would it look with just 42inch cabinets and moldings that add about 4 inches?

      Yes it will look fine. To see examples, go up above and select KITCHEN and then in the Houzz search bar enter 9 ft ceilings. You'll see examples.

      We have 48" cabinets with crown. Looks great and cost a bit less than the stacked options.

      42" with a "stacked" crown would look great. Maybe 8" or so
