Also, if hanging it is done effectively, it could serve as an interior design to your house. However, it requires careful processes to avoid the cabinet from falling.
2. How do you start it? First, remove the doors and drawers of the cabinet because it might get damaged during the installation process. Aside from that, the work will be much easier if there are no things that could fall during the process.
3. Then, prepare all the necessary materials. The basic materials that you need are tape measure and pencil. You don’t need to get the industrial pen, just the simple pen that you have at home.

A too high cabinet could be hard to reach and may not be proportion to your other kitchen materials. When installing, you need to check the thickness of the countertop. Just make sure that there is a space of about 54 inches between the top of your base cabinet and the bottom of the hanging cabinet.
