If you have eight foot or shorter ceilings, choose cabinets that go to the ceiling. They offer more storage, enabling you to use extra wall space for artwork or open shelves. If your ceilings are higher than eight feet, leave 15 to 18 inches above the cabinets.

Having a backup kitchen area and a second bathroom are the most important part of renovating those rooms in my opinion.
