Wall Cabinets in Atlanta

Wall cabinets get less thought than base cabinets and change how a kitchen looks more. Rest Cabinetry stocks over 3,900 wall cabinet variations in Norcross across nine finish collections.

Height is the first decision, not the last

Wall cabinets come in standard heights and each one implies a different kitchen.

30 inchThe traditional height. Leaves a visible gap above on an 8-foot ceiling, which is either a shelf for display or a dust trap depending on how you live. Everything is within reach.
36 inchMore storage, less gap. The top shelf needs a stool, so it becomes the things you use twice a year - which is fine, as long as that is a decision rather than a surprise.
42 inchReaches the ceiling on a standard 8-foot wall. Maximum storage and the most built-in look, but it demands a level ceiling - a run that drops even half an inch across its length will show it.

Measure the ceiling at both ends before choosing 42 inch. A ceiling that slopes is common and invisible until cabinets are against it. If it drops, a 30 or 36 inch run finished with molding absorbs what a to-ceiling install would advertise.

The gap above the counter

Around 18 inches between the counter and the bottom of the wall cabinet is standard. Raising it opens the wall and suits a tiled backsplash; lowering it brings shelves into reach and crowds the working surface.

This gap is also where the range hood clearance lives, which is why the hood has to be decided before the wall cabinets rather than after. Specifying it late is the most common ordering mistake in this part of a kitchen - see hoods.

Glass doors, and what they cost you

Glass-door wall cabinets change the rhythm of a run and force everything behind them to stay presentable. Note that on the glass-door units carried here, the glass inserts are sold separately - the cabinet is supplied ready for glass rather than glazed. See glass door cabinets.

Widths and the run

Wall cabinets are the run that reads as a line, so the widths matter visually as well as practically. Plan from the fixed points - the range, the sink, the corners - and let the discrepancy in an out-of-true wall collect in one filler at the end. A 9 or 12 inch unit beside the hood is storage; a filler of the same width is not.

Frequently asked questions

What heights do kitchen wall cabinets come in?

30, 36 and 42 inch are the standard heights. 30 leaves a visible gap on an 8-foot ceiling and keeps everything in reach; 36 adds storage with a top shelf that needs a stool; 42 reaches the ceiling for maximum storage and the most built-in look.

Should wall cabinets go to the ceiling?

Only if the ceiling is level. Measure at both ends of the run first - a ceiling that drops even half an inch will show against a 42 inch run. If it slopes, a shorter run finished with molding absorbs it.

How high above the counter should wall cabinets be?

Around 18 inches is standard. Raising it opens the wall and suits a tiled backsplash; lowering it brings the shelves into reach but crowds the working surface.

When should I decide on the range hood?

Before the wall cabinets. The hood's required clearance above the range dictates where the surrounding cabinets can sit, which is why specifying it late is the most common ordering mistake in this part of a kitchen.

Do glass door cabinets come with the glass?

On the glass-door units carried here the glass inserts are sold separately - the cabinet is supplied ready for glass rather than glazed.

How many wall cabinet sizes do you stock?

Over 3,900 wall cabinet variations across nine finish collections, held in Norcross for same-day collection.

What do I do with a narrow gap in a wall run?

Use a narrow cabinet rather than a filler wherever the width exists. A 9 or 12 inch unit beside the hood is storage; a filler of the same width is not.

Can I collect wall cabinets the same day?

Yes, at 6115 Jimmy Carter Blvd, Suite E, Norcross, open Monday to Saturday 9:00 to 17:00. Cabinets ship flat-packed, so a run loads into a van rather than needing a truck.
