We installed a new stainless range and microwave over the range. Problem is I did not think about what the side would look like of the microwave. We have one exposed side of the microwave. here is the picture. I am not sure about how to make the side of the microwave not so ugly when walking into the kitchen.
Dezign Studio Inc Since your cabinets are white, you can install a 1230 white wall panel on the right side, although there should be cabinets on either side of the microwave. Also the minimum distance between the microwave and stove should be 21" - 22".
