Under counter 27' oven beside 36' Blue Star range?
| | |

| I'm working through some designs for a kitchen remodel (thanks rhome and sweeby) and wanted to bounce an idea off anybody out there. Would it look funny to have a 27" wall oven mounted under the counter beside my 36" Blue Star range? I need a smaller, quicker heating oven for smaller jobs than the range. I don't really want to have to rewire (there's a higher mounted wall oven there now).
Thoughts? |

| When you say "beside" you mean right next to? or a bit of cabinetry and then the oven? Right next to would look a little funny. It would be better if it were at normal wall height. And even better if it were at a slight remove so that it didn't draw the eye from the range. Have you talked to your electrician? It might not be that hard to move the electricity. If putting it next to the range is really your best option, I'd vote for function over looks. |

| For me I wouldn't be happy with the look if it were my kitchen. My layout so far has a U-shaped run of counter top, with a 48-inch range with double ovens on the top part of the U. I did consider having a 36-inch range with one oven underneath along with a small under counter oven (to be used for occasional baking) in my peninsula. I ruled that option out because it would have taken away from the storage area for my huge collection of pots and pans. Even with that option I was a bit worried about the aesthetics, even if the run with the secondary oven was perpendicular to the main run holding my range. I would have been really concerned had the secondary oven been drawn in right next to my range. Doesn't Bluestar make a 36 inch wide range with a double oven underneath? I know Fratelli makes one. I considered this as well but had to rule it out because DH wanted something that could hold a ginormous turkey, even if it was only once a year if that. Depending on what you cook that could be an option, but I would just make sure your pans/roasting dishes fit inside beforehand. |

| I'll try to get a picture to post. We already have the range so a new one isn't really an option. It's a renovation job and there's already a wall oven in a kinda tower thing beside the range (yes, about a foot away with cabinetry between). It looks ok now but the tower really breaks up the run of counter space which is one of the things we're trying to fix with the renovation. |
