If we getting a slightly larger beverage cooler that fits snug and put a microwave with trim kit below, then a drawer underneath would that look ok, we are changing all the cupboards to ikea veddinge as well

    I think the microwave would be too low. How about drawer, microwave and cooler? I think you would be using the mcrowave more often than opening the cooler so it should be at the right height.

    Agree with putting the beverage fridge on the bottom.

    The microwave would be the height of most that are in islands etc

    But will be open to more ideas for sure, just feel a raised fridge is more modern/industrial looking but could be wrong.....

    Obviously need a more fitted beverage fridge but this is on bottom and then microwave would go above, but some reason still partial to the beverage fridge raised

    Something to think about in terms of practicality would be someone dropping a bottle/can from that upper height and doing damage (dents, cracks in tile etc.) to your floors, especially with little ones, who might hurt themselves as well. I'd hate to have a bottle or can fall on my toes wearing sandals or slippers!

    Lol. I think it boils down to practicality and aesthetic. I won’t say which I prefer lol. But think about it. Fridge below is practical. Above is more aesthetically pleasing , and vice versa

    Beverage coolers unless they are $$$ have to have space to dissipate the heat from the motor. Microwaves are better placed at eye level. These appliances will likely need to be separate circuits.

    The beverage coolers we are looking at vent at the front, we will not be using the one we have now and a microwave and fridge were previously in about the same area and ran fine

    Haha!! I like it higher up better. But I was just thinking maybe we can put in in the island? Than it avoids all headaches. Or is it officially stamped to be on that wall?

    This is our make-shift idea of what it could look like

    And I think you will too. Don’t overthink it just do it. Worst case you change it, don’t think you will though. Do you use the fridge more than the micro lol 🥂🥂

    Drink fridge on the bottom (from a design standpoint).

    Thanks for your opinion what do you think about the inspiration photo, do you think that beverage cooler should be floor level?

  • Design Girl

    I think the inspiration pic is "ok" - not something I would do. It's more balanced as there is one element on either side of the fridge. If you are doing the microwave, I'd definitely put the drink fridge in the lower portion.

    Thanks, I feel like it’s so hard to see a pick drinks, for guests too, they basically have to go on their knees to look in the dark hole

    I agree. I also, am trying to imagine it the other way around. Maybe take a pic with the micro on top and show. I feel like it will look funny. If my imagination is imagining it correctly.

    I think because our fridge is so big, the smaller fridge ground level just looks buried and odd, I wish I had a pic when we flipped it the other way, but I think my husband will kill me if I ask him to switch again to have another look
