Ranges in the corner

15 years ago

We are just starting to plan our kitchen and are thinking of putting our range in the corner. I am having a difficult time finding pictures of kitchen with this type of layout. Does anyone have any photos they could share with me?

    Putting the range completely in a corner (ie, up against the wall) is not recommend. You should have at least 6" of space between range and a wall for fire protection. Check out the install instructions for the range in question and your local building code. Good luck!

    I imagine you meant putting it on an angle in the corner. I'm trying to remember the kitchens that I saw them in (I had considered it for awhile). Ultimately I decided it wasn't worth the extra fiddling with cabinets (stock) and countertops. At one point our wall HAD to be angled so in that instance we could have made it work. Good luck!

    There are some kitchens in the Finished Kitchens Blog that have corner ranges. The one that immediately comes to mind is SharB. She has a gorgeous kitchen (and DR).

    Corner ranges can make a statement. But please keep in mind that they take up quite a bit of room. A 30" range, for example, will use approx 48" on each wall.

    Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. Yes, I meant putting it on an angle in the corner. It is just something we are exploring. I know it will take up more room. We need a chase in the wall behind the range, so we were looking at angling the range and using the corner behind the range for the chase. This is a new build and we are just starting to plan the kitchen, so I was hoping to see some pictures to get some ideas.

    Sounds like it might be a nice way to handle the required chase! Since it's a new build, you can make it work! Good luck!

    Sounds like a good solution. Here are tips from CMKBD Kelly Morisseau to help you make sure your corner range installation goes smoothly.

    Lovely pics as always, boxerpups!

    Thanks for bringing this up. We are looking at a layout very similar to "SharB in the FKB" photos - it's nice to see how well it can work. Our's is a remodel, and we have limited wall space. We'd like to enlarge windows - moving the range to the corner allows us to do that without having to put the sink on the island, or the refrigerator in the middle of the longest wall. I think it can also add visual interest to a rectangular room. You do waste some space to do it, but there are always trade-offs (especially with remodels!).

    One of my absolute favorite inspiration kitchens from a member has a corner range. I hope ni_2006 does not mind me linking here.

    As pricklypearcactus mentioned, I have a corner range. I love the placement in the kitchen. My only advice is to make sure that you have enough clearance, so that your vent hood does not interfere with the adjacent wall cabinets.

    Anyone see what I see in boxerpups second image?

  • 15 years ago

    Thanks. We are no longer going to do a range in the corner. It will now be on the outside wall, along with the sink.

    Mtnrd., yeah and there is a candle right next to it too. No worries for some people.

    Wow, you are right. Art work by the range.
    Where was that picture a month ago, when I needed it.
