proportions cooktop doesn't match oven below

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

I picked a 36" induction cooktop while planning to put a 36" oven below. apparently no one is making 36" single wall ovens anymore. Only 30". Except wolf and that is too expensive. I am concerned it will look funny to have a 30" oven below a 36" cooktop and not line up. I also have a 12' x 20' kitchen. I am concerned that 30" is too small scale. any suggestions to fool the eye?

I would do a 36" cabinet under the cooktop, and find a 30" space for the oven.

agree with ritting, the joy of a cooktop is having your pots and pans stored below it. the joy of a wall oven is to not have to bend down to the floor to take a turkey out. pairing a wall oven below a cooktop is giving you the worst of both worlds.

if you want your oven below your cooking surface, go with a range, the $ makes more sense that way.
