When people first walk into a room,
their gaze tends to fall on objects that
are at eye level. In a kitchen, this
means that the overhead cabinets will
be the first thing people notice.
Cabinets that are simply fastened to
the wall lack any visual connection to
the surrounding walls and ceiling. A
traditional approach that visually
"anchors" the cabinets involves constructing
a drywall soffit, installing
the upper cabinets tight to this soffit,
and trimming the juncture with a
crown molding.
Over the years, our company has
developed two additional approaches
to this important area of kitchen cabinetry
that are aesthetically pleasing
and affordable. The approach we use is
most often determined by the ceiling
height of the room.
