Nicely Placed Microwave

Nov 3, 2009

Spotted this as I caught up with the blogosphere this weekend.  You’ve probably realized that the placement of the microwave oven in the kitchen is a minor obsession with me.  Here’s an example of microwave placement that I really like, from designer Steve Justrich via the Kitchn

Doesn’t that look good? Of course, this only works with a small microwave – you couldn’t do it with one of the extra deep convection micro combos. And you need to check the specifications to make sure you have the required air-space in the right place – sometimes you have to create an opening in the drywall behind or to one side.  The refrigerator is also nicely recessed into the wall in this kitchen – some really good thinking took place, check out all the pictures here.
