What Are Floor-to-Ceiling Kitchen Cabinets?
Full-height kitchen cabinets are just that: cabinets that extend beyond what standard upper and lower options provide.
Typically, the placement of these custom cabinets include:
Against main walls
Pantry spaces
Next to appliances
Wherever you choose to place them, floor-to-ceiling cabinets are meant to simplify your time in the kitchen. Additionally, adding these cabinets into your kitchen design plan creates an integrated effect, promoting a cohesive visual appeal.

How Full-Height Kitchen Cabinets Optimize Storage
Perhaps one of the biggest pros to adding in floor-to-ceiling kitchen cabinets into your home is the space optimization. For example, the area above standard cabinetry is often wasted where full-height cabinets could be the perfect fit.
Below are other key ways floor-to-ceiling cabinets can enhance your storage space:
Countertops stay free of clutter
Less-used dishes can be safely stored away
Opportunity for customizations like interior pullouts, built-in spice racks, and additional pantry storage.
Another reason full-height kitchen cabinets are popular is their ability to integrate with countless kitchen layouts and design plans. Whether your kitchen is open, closed, narrow, wide, or any other variation, floor-to-ceiling kitchen cabinets can be customized to fit your space.

Why Floor-to-Ceiling Kitchen Cabinets Are a Style-Forward Choice
Aesthetics are everything in high-end kitchen design. And yes, while your kitchen needs to be functional, it also should be a glimpse into the character of your home. Thankfully, floor-to-ceiling custom cabinets come with a host of style-forward benefits for your kitchen.
Chic Style
Custom kitchen cabinets with a full-height structure introduce sleek, uninterrupted lines to your kitchen design. Their height immediately creates the feel of high ceilings, creating a sense of spaciousness. What’s more, floor-to-ceiling custom cabinets are also great for featuring a sleek, uniform color that can create the illusion of a backdrop.
Versatile Design
Floor-to-ceiling kitchen cabinetry pairs wonderfully in both modern and more traditional interiors. It’s versatile, simple design can provide any kitchen with a subtle “pop” while effectively blending in. In some cases, homeowners will go the extra mile to add in glass paneling or open shelves to add visual flair.

What to Consider Before Installing Full-Height Cabinets
Before committing to full-height kitchen cabinets, spend some time thinking about the basics: where you’ll put them, how many you want, and the style you prefer. Another key design consideration is the type of hardware you’d like to add in — common choices for full-height kitchen cabinets include lower pulls and/or integrated handles.
You’ll also want to factor in how your cabinets blend in with the rest of your kitchen plan. For example, what might work well in a contemporary kitchen layout would likely clash in a kitchen with a rustic feel.
Lastly, lighting always plays a big role in your kitchen design plan (even when it comes to cabinet choice). Opting for under-cabinet lights or even built-in cabinet illumination help with both the visual and functional aspects of your entire kitchen.
