How much space between left side of oven & corner? Looking at picture makes me wonder if that door opening switched to swing open on right to pull out towards left, if the door won’t open because door hits oven handle half way through opening swing. What if you have pull out shelves in that cabinet - if door won’t open fully no matter which side hinge is on, that’s a problem too. I do think it’ll look more balanced if top & bottom handles match placements but you’re correct that upper makes more sense with hinge on right. Maybe it’s one of those things that won’t be noticeable so it’s best to go with whichever option has most functionality. Is it too late to make that cabinet all drawers? Seems like that would solve problem as long as oven is far enough away from corner.

We tested and it makes the swing even with the handle opening that way.

I have pullouts which also don’t hit the stove.

The only issue is the aesthetic of the handle placement really on the upper. I wasnt sure if this was a ”hard” rule to keep them aligned or if it really wouldnt be that big of a deal.

I didnt do drawers there because it would have left dead space in the corner. It’s a fairly small kitchen in terms of cabinets so I wanted to be able to use all available space.

Then I would definitely go for best function - switch the bottom, leave the top. The top cabinet opening against the sink will make you nuts. You might have that same issue on a lesser scale with the bottom cabinet too. Will depend on what you store in each cab & if you need upper & lower doors open at same time as in when unloading dishwasher.
