A microwave is one of the most convenient kitchen appliances to have on hand, but they aren’t always the easiest to incorporate into your interior design. Many microwaves are big and boxy, making them hard to seamlessly work into the aesthetic without being a bit of an eyesore. There are, however, some ways of installing the device in a visually pleasing way without sacrificing its convenience.

How to Incorporate a Microwave Into a Kitchen

1. Over the Range

Packing kitchen appliances into smaller spaces can be difficult, but a bit of clever arranging can make it all work. Installing your microwave over the range is a space-saving placement that doesn’t interfere with the appliance’s operation. Even better, a combination microwave and range hood will let you get the best of both appliances while still keeping their footprint to a minimum.

2. In a Cabinet

The solution for homeowners who prefer to keep their kitchen appliances hidden from view, an empty cabinet can sometimes be the perfect fit for a microwave. Because the device is only visible while it’s in use, almost any type of microwave can be incorporated into your kitchen aesthetic without clashing. It’s important to check if the open cabinet door will let the microwave ventilate enough, however.

3. Recessed Into the Wall

This option requires a bit of renovation, but it can be a very attractive finished product. With the microwave flush with the wall itself, there’s no space wasted. This gives you the maximum amount of countertop space in your kitchen and leads to a much less-cluttered space overall.
