Replace microwave oven cabinet with wine rack?

14 years ago

Hi, I am looking for suggestions to replacing my microwave oven cabinet with something that does not take too much space.

I am considering to buy a Sharp streamwave oven (AX1100R) to replace me microwave oven and B&D toaster oven (they both work fine, but I want to save space, as my kitchen is small).

Right now the microwave oven is 'built-in' a cabinet next to my range hood (I will replace my ugly under cabinet range hood with a wall mount SS range hood as well). I originally wanted to buy two pieces of 12x30" door so I can cover the microwave oven cabinet, however they don't make that kind of door anymore.

I have came up with idea to replace the oven cabinet with something such as wine rack.

Two solutions came to my mind, one is to directly place a wine rack into the oven cabinet. However, it seems it doesn't look nice as it is too close to the range hood.

The other solutions is to switch doors. The cabinet next to fridge is exactly the same as the cabinets next to my range hood, so I can exchange the doors so the wine rack will be placed next to the fridge.

Please see pics below:

So, which solution do you like?

Or, do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks!
