A few weeks ago we asked where your small appliances live — the counter or the cabinet. One of those small appliances is the microwave, which many think can only live on a counter, but that’s not the case. The microwave has plenty of placement options.
Here are a few we found, with visual examples. Are there any placements we forgot?
- Hidden in a cupboard
- Over a stove
- Above an oven
- Above the counter
- On a wheeled cart
- Between cabinets
- On counter
- Below counter
- Tucked in a cabinet
- Above the fridge
