Why we chose Integrated Microwave & Oven 👨🏻🍳✨

When planning our kitchen renovation, we knew that our cooking appliances would play a big role in how the space looked and functioned. One of the biggest decisions was whether to go with standalone appliances or invest in an integrated microwave oven and oven set. In the end, the integrated option won hands down — and here’s why. 1. A Seamless, Built-In Look That Completes the Kitchen Because our home follows a modern luxury theme, clean lines and a polished aesthetic were important to us. Standalone appliances, no matter how sleek, tend to stick out visually. By choosing integrated appliances, we were able to: • Create a flush, streamlined facade with the cabinetry • Maintain a consistent design language across the kitchen • Eliminate visible cables and countertop clutter The result is a kitchen that feels visually calm, cohesive, and high-end — exactly the look we wanted. 
2. Saves Valuable Counter Space Standalone microwaves eat up counter space and force you to plan for power sockets in awkward spots. Our integrated microwave sits neatly in its own slot, freeing up: • Countertop space for food prep • Room for small appliances we actually want displayed • A more organised, spacious work area It’s one of those decisions that feels small on paper but makes a huge difference in daily use. 3. Better Ergonomics and Workflow We placed our built-in appliances at eye and arm level. This made everyday use more comfortable: • No bending down to check the oven • No reaching over clutter to use the microwave • Easier to transfer dishes between appliances Cooking feels smoother, faster, and more intuitive because everything is where it should be. 
The switches are also well hidden in the cainets above, in addition to some additional storage space. Overall, an integrated microwave + oven combo gave us the right balance of functionality without overwhelming the kitchen. Plus, the matching appliance pair makes the workflow smoother.
