Single ovens next to each other...but not under hob...

Jane
4 years ago

Hi,


I would like to place two single ovens next to each other, under the worktop, on the right hand side of our kitchen, but keep the hob in the centre of the back wall with wide pan drawers underneath. Is this weird? It always seems to be that ovens either get stacked in a tower or are put under the hob. But I feel like this would work better for us. Thoughts?


Thanks,


Jane

    If it’s ‘slightly different from the norm’ - you’ll probably find detailed drawings will convey to your installer exactly what you want . That way they can’t do it their own way and you just have to live with it !
    We draw things as people want them ( as long as it’s safe and legal !!) if you are interested in working on this one to one with a designer ( we don’t sell products - so you shop around with your one plan ) just click on my name or icon to find out more on my Houzz pro page.

      I think it will look a bit odd but that is because the we are naturally conditioned to see kitchens laid out in a certain way. If having your ovens laid out side by side and off centre with your hob works for you, I say go ahead.

      If they're on another wall, why not? I have customers who are quite happy with their oven below counter and not under the hob. It's not common, but a kitchen should be personal. If it works for you, go for it!

      Thanks both. Yes surely if it makes the layout of everything else work better then it’s ok? Just wasn’t sure if there was a glaring reason why we shouldn’t.

      I don't think it would be odd and if that's what you want, it's your kitchen go for it.


      However, since we've had ours at waist height, I'd honestly say, I would never go back to having to bend down to an oven if I could help it. It makes it so much easier, especially if you're short like me, I always had trouble bending and then trying to reach into the depths of the oven of our old cooker.

      Thanks Ribena Drinker. I'm short too and I'd love the waist/eye height ovens - I'm just not sure there's space in our kitchen! I need to look at it again I think, because it would be sensible.

      If it works for you, then just do it.

      Definitely go with what works best for you....

      If you like the idea of having an eye level oven, but struggle for tall unit space, could you put one at undercounted height and one on top at worktop height? Use the top one most the time, and the lower one when you need both?

      Interesting idea! So combine a low unit with a tall unit and do something clever to make it look ok in the middle?

      I mean like have a tall unit but just put the 2nd oven underneath where the pink box is...
      The bottom of the ovens shown are at normal countertop height
