The height is usually set by the tall floor standing units. The wall units align with the top and the distance between the work surface and the
underside of the wall unit is automatically set.

Set the cupboards so your wife/girlfriend can see into them and reach all the girlie stuff in there. 
P.S. The height of the standing units sounds about right but our kitchen ceiling is only 7' high so that really decides it for us. They are set
at ceiling height.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Marking the hight of your wall units
Always begin at the highest point after checking your floor level and transfer a line marking the top of your cupboards, with your pencil, around the
walls on which they are to be fitted. This will act as a guideline when levelling the cabinets.
The height will vary depending on which size wall units you are installing but generally you should aim to leave a space of 500mm between the top of
the work surface and the underside of the cupboard.
If you are installing a full height housing then its height will determine the height of the wall cupboards and the line must be drawn at the same
height.

You should never install units above a hob, unless you install a cooker hood under the bridging unit.
Flammable materials above a heat source is a NO NO!
I can't remember who, but someone on here can do you a good deal on a cooker hood.

Height above the cooker is normally in the details supplied by the hood manufacturer, about 2ft9 minimum in proper money,
cupboards, it depends on what tiles you wish to use, but approximatly 18-1/4 inch is pretty normal if your using the older 6inch size,
but measure the tiles and add for grouting a couple of inch either way looks okay,

I'd put just at the right height to whack you temple on the corners.
Thats the height mine are set at.
Plus I'd just like to add the bedroom door is just at the right height to get your toe under...
