Wall cabinet height: what works?
Zero to 24 inches+
For our modular cabinet line, Besh, I’ve been playing with uniform wall cabinet heights – even above a sink.
This example shows all wall cabinets aligned at the bottom and top. There’s no staggered height with a bigger gap between the faucet & the bottom of the wall cabinet above it.
My guess is that this is a 30″ clearance, since the cooktop is gas & most hood manufacturers require that much over a gas cooking surface.
It works. It looks good. There are no clearance issues. I’m not a huge fan of soffits, but in this case, it really boosts the built in look.

The only thing I’d change in this one would be to shift the window framing to line up with the bottom & top of the wall cabinets. I can’t help it. I’m a designer.
Also? Love the table, stools & tile. And the black pendant lights.
Love it. I did this in my kitchen remodel. I used a 24″ clearance, but I have an electric cooktop rather than gas. The extra room between the counter and the cabinets really opens the space. I used the wall-mount cabinets from Ikea that open ‘up’ and left the space above empty for display and negative space purposes.
Hey there! Sounds like it turned out great. Would love to see a snap or two of your kitchen.
