You’ve done all the research, purchased one of the best microwaves on the market, but now you need to figure out the perfect place for it in your kitchen. It may feel like your choices are limited to where there’s space, but it’s important to prioritize safety, then convenience, and then the overall design.
Beyond convenience, there are also some unsafe places to put your microwave which should be avoided when choosing your kitchen layout. Proximity to certain appliances could impact performance, or even create a fire hazard if managed incorrectly. And if you're opting for a built-in microwave, you need to consider the location of your microwave both in your overall layout and in the context of your other built-in appliances.
