Alternatives of Removing Kitchen Soffits

If you can’t remove your kitchen soffit, you can still make adjustments that will alter their appearance! Below is a list of creative ideas that you can incorporate into your kitchen to produce an integrated and attractive design:

Extended Cabinets

If your cabinets do not match the length of the soffit, the soffit becomes more obvious. Therefore, you can modify your cabinets to match or extend past the soffit. This will help to hide any particularly bulky soffits as they will just appear to be a slightly lowered ceiling that cushions the extended cabinetry.

You can also extend cabinets upwards by having them uniquely fitted with your soffits. Really tall cabinets will give the appearance of sophistication, though you may lose out on actual storage space inside the cabinet.

Integrate Additional Cabinets for Extra Storage

Adding new cabinets can further disguise any soffits while producing more space for storage. Place new cabinet boxes or an open shelf wherever the soffit protrudes from the wall to create a built-in, consistent design that looks like an architectural choice.

It is also a great idea to add a breakfast nook to further hide soffits and add a practical and appealing feature to your kitchen. You should think about incorporating this nook in a space where kitchen cabinets will either appear too big or will simply not be functional for use.

Install Crown Molding

Add crown molding to create a traditional, elegant design that adds intricate details to your kitchen. This decorative trim running around your cabinets and kitchen walls will soften the look of soffits by balancing out depth and proportions.

Convert Kitchen Soffit into Pillar or Beam

By converting the design of your soffit to make it look like a pillar or beam, you can add a unique style that looks like it was an architectural choice. Beams in traditional kitchens add charm and character, so it makes sense to modify the look of your soffit to match your kitchen aesthetic.

You may choose to remodel the look of the soffit to achieve a pillar or beam appearance, or you can simply paint the soffit. Add matching wooden or beam designs around the kitchen space to fully integrate the new style.

Tile, Paint, or Use Wallpaper on Soffit

Consider painting your soffit the same color as the cabinets for a seamless design. You can also paint your ceiling a contrasting color to further enhance the blend of the upper cabinets into the soffit.

Just like crown molding, using wallpaper or tiles to create a stand-out feature within your kitchen can aid a cohesive, stylish design that works in both modern and traditional kitchen settings.

Install Lighting

Installing recessed lighting into a kitchen soffit can help to facilitate a more sleek, modern design on a tight budget. Not only is this lighting a great way to further illuminate the room, but it is also functional for when you are working or cooking on a countertop and require close light.
