How much counter space is on either side of the range?

9 years ago

I have a 72" wall where my rang is going. I can't decide if I should put the range off center so I'll have one side with more prep space or if I should center it, leaving a small space on either side. My husband and I disagree on this. I fee the range should be offset. He feels it should be centered. I do all of the cooking

I would say to center the range. If you have at least 12 inches, it should be enough room for some prepping, do you have an island that you could do prepping as well?

No island. The kitchen is very small. If I center the range, I should have approximately 21 inches on either side. This doesn't seem like much room spread out while slicing and dicing.

I would say that the picture shows about 27" cab on the left and a 24" cab on the right. That's just an estimation, though. Can you post a picture of the space?

No, I can't post a picture at this time. The space is in the house I'm moving into but not there yet.

The range is centered with 30" on either side. I agree, I would center your range too.

Does anyone know what backsplash this is? Any help is greatly appreciated!

It turns out we decided not to center the range. Hopefully, I won't regret this. The renderings look nice.
