The space above kitchen cabinets is often neglected, but it can be an opportunity to add some flair to your kitchen while filling in the empty gap between the top of your kitchen cabinets and the ceiling. Here are some ideas for what to put on top of kitchen cabinets:

• Decorative Baskets: Use baskets to store infrequently used items or things that you dont want the kids to get their hands on. You can also use them for decorative purposes.

• Plants: Real or faux plants can add some greenery to your kitchen and make the space feel more lively. If you dont want to climb up on a stool or ladder to water and prune real plants, you can find realistic-looking faux plants that require no maintenance.

• Artwork: Hang artwork or a gallery wall above your kitchen cabinets to add some visual interest to the space.

• Vases: Vases come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, including glass, ceramic, and metal. They can be used for decorative purposes or to hold flowers.

• Boxes: Choose boxes with unique textures or patterns to add an extra layer of visual interest to your display.

• Cookbooks: If you have a collection of cookbooks, you can use them to decorate the top of your kitchen cabinets.

• Trailing Vines: Trailing vines can add some natural beauty to your kitchen and can be hung from the ceiling or placed on top of your cabinets.

• Light Fixtures: Install statement-making light fixtures above your kitchen cabinets to add some extra lighting and visual interest to the space.

• Wallpaper: Add some texture and pattern to the space above your kitchen cabinets by hanging wallpaper.

• Signs: Use a sign as your focal point to add some personality to your kitchen.

Remember to group items together based on your cabinet layout and where you would like to put things. Keep in mind that not all kitchen cabinetry comes in a flat pack, and that you can use these tips to style the top of freestanding secondhand, vintage, or antique cabinetry like china cabinets and hutches as well.
