Wall oven and microwave placement

8 years ago

This is the setup I am planning. I have not chosen my ovens yet, but they will be 30” wide. I’m doing a Miele dishwasher but I don’t care if these ovens match it, as they are on the opposite side of the kitchen. Has anyone else used a layout similar to this, and do you have any feedback that would be helpful before I commit?

Here is what I ended up with! I moved the microwave to the island (it’s a drawer model) and I have a huge island across from the ovens. My kitchen is quite large, so I didn’t need more cabinet space. The side cabinets are shallower because they end about 12” from the end of the wall on the right, which is a hall housing my pantry and other rooms. I wanted the corner to be a bit easier to maneuver.

What is the floorplan for the rest of the kitchen? I ask, because it doesn't look like you have any drop zones for when you take something out of the microwave or oven.

There’s a pull-out shelf under the microwave and my island is right across from it.

Pull out shelf and drop down door? Imagine taking a 13 x 9 dish out of the MW, around the door and down to the shelf.....this might sound weird, but should you swap those? Lower the MW and put pull out shelf above? No interference. Plus I'm only 5' 5" and taking something hot out of the MW at that height might be an issue for me.

I don’t see a problem but I would not put a desk in a kitchen anymore we all have laptops that can go anywhere and I actually prefer looking out a window when I work as opposed to looking at a wall.I also have no idea why you did not make the whole wall 24” deep for max storage and I would have put pullot pantries where the desk is.

The design of that wall is not ideal. I agree with Samoore that I would put the microwave in between the ovens and lower it significantly. I am not sure where the fridge is but that is where the microwave should be close to. Desks in kitchens were never really functional and were just clutter zones. How you use the kitchen is important, without the remainder of the kitchen design, we are just prociding fractured feedback. You can post your layout in the Kitchen forum for some really good feedback while you are still on paper and have not ordered cabinets

Good luck!
