The height of the kitchen cabinets becomes a subject of controversy. Should they reach the ceiling or should they leave space on top? There were strong arguments in favour of both decisions. And while someone is making the tough choices, we’re going to show you how to effectively use the space above the wall cabinets in a small kitchen.



Height of kitchen cabinets Additional lighting

Bright lighting over the kitchen work area makes cooking easier. But during a family dinner, when you want to relax and relax, the light is more pleasant. Therefore, instead of one bright chandelier, many choose zoned light. Part of the lighting can be placed above the cabinets. For example, over them you can put LED tapes.

Flowers

Living flowers add comfort, but there is not always enough space on the windowsill for them. Choosing the right variety, give preference to those that feel comfortable under the ceiling. The fact is that warm air rises upwards and not all plants tolerate heat well.

Statuettes, vases, decorative plates brought from Holland and collections of souvenirs can decorate the kitchen and make room. Or they can make it an exhibition of different old things. Therefore, in each case you need to focus on your taste.



Reproductions of paintings or a picture gallery in the kitchen? Why not? Add some art to the interior by placing paintings, reproductions and your favorite photos in the frame above the cabinets.



Where in a small kitchen to place storage tanks for various utensils, boxes and boxes? Under the ceiling! The main thing is that all this looks good next to each other and is not too diverse.



The space above the kitchen cabinets is the perfect place for festive decor. By New Year and Christmas it can be spruce branches, in autumn - bouquets of leaves, in summer - from dried flowers.
