Getting your microwave off your kitchen counter by having the microwave built in island is a great space-saving idea. Instead of bumping into your microwave when cooking or having someone stand in front of the microwave while you are preparing dinner, you can tuck a microwave away as part of the kitchen island. A microwave in island can be placed inside the cabinetry or installed into the island itself.
Not only can a built in microwave in island help make the flow of movement in your kitchen so much smoother, it can visually declutter your space. A microwave may not always match with your cabinets or countertop decor, so the option to hide it out of sight in an island cabinet is a useful trick to know. Keep reading to see how the following homeowners have incorporated a microwave in their kitchen island.
