Hi all:

I am designing a new kitchen in a room with 10' ceilings. I plan to
run the cabinets up to 8' and then have 2' of soffit (12" deep) around
the perimeter of the kitchen. In the one corner where there would be
cabinets, however, I had planned on having one of those specialized
wall corner cabinets that runs at a 45 degree angle in the middle
rather than an "L" shaped cabinet. The only thing is that if I choose
such a cabinet the part that runs at the 45 degree angle would extend
beyond the bottom of the soffit. Since the room is a blank slate
right now, I've got a lot of options, but I don't know which would be
best. As I see it, the main options would be:

1) make the soffit run at a diagonal over that corner (and probably
other corners as well, just so it matches)
2) just go with an "L" shaped cabinet
3) make the soffit deeper than the cabinets.

Any input? This is just one of those things that I never thought to
look at in houses I've been at.

Thanks in advance for any help.


Personally I would forget about the soffit and install lights on top of the
cabinets instead. I did that for a few customers and it looks good and
makes a good night light.
