We are low class and just keep the appliances we use every day on the counter. Its a kitchen! Its for preparing food! We also keep toilet paper visible in our bathroom. Its a room for pooping!

We just renovated our kitchen and have two appliance garages without fronts, so I guess you’d call them appliance cubbies. One has my Wolf toaster oven (best thing ever), and one has the counter microwave. Works perfectly as they look tidy but are also easily accessible.

Yet, your picture shows open shelving with plates, bowls, fruit basket, all are out on display except for the coffee maker which is inconveniently kept behind a cabinet door. This is opposite of functional and very cluttered looking.


NP. All of the posts insulting this poster’s kitchen. I agree it’s a ridiculous photo and use of space but it’s clearly from a website.

Not a toaster oven but the best thing I ever did in my kitchen renovation was to have a lower cabinet with 2 slide out shelves. I had an outlet added in the back corner. On the top slide out my large toaster and vitamix stay there plugged in. We open the cabinet, slide out the shelf, use the appliances and it all shuts back down easily with no mess on the counter. Love it!! You could easily put a small toaster oven in there if you wanted….

In the fanciest kitchen I know, they make toast in a speed oven thing in the wall. I think it’s also a steam oven and can be a regular convection oven/air fryer.

Says the woman with two exposed French presses and an appliance garage three times the size of the coffee maker…why just why.

Get a status symbol coffee maker and let it live out on the countertop.

I’ll leave my 27 dinner plates & unused French presses (2!) exposed but please hide-away the coffee make we use daily.

We might put ours in the pantry- have shelves with plugs for the toaster oven and micro, and folding doors that we can leave open when cooking. Problem is that they take up a lot of pantry space because you need to put clearance around it for safety.

Leaving countertop clear of clutter is best so if you have a permanent appliance, put it in a pantry or on a shelf.
That said, my microwave and toaster oven is hiked up above the countertop on a shelf (but aligned and integrated with the rest of the wall cabinets). I also got a steam oven that sits below the countertop.
Once I got these appliances, I never use the 30" oven for anything except storing baking pans. The toaster oven has been a fine size for baked zitis, baking chicken, anything I would have done in the gi-normous waste of an oven with a huge reduction in energy usage.
The steam oven has been a dream for baking bread.
Neither of them need pre-heating, they get right to the set temperature pronto.


Where do you have the open shelf for this? Not op, but we were thinking of doing something similar by the stove.

I'm a busy attorney mom type, whatever. I cannot believe anyone has the brainpower left after a day dealing with the sh*t of life to care about such as thing as "appliance garages". omg

This would be annoying AF. We make coffee everyday. Having to open and close that counter door ever single time would be incredibly irritating—AND pointless.

I can see why people are saying these things are dated. It looks stupid.

I love my Breville toaster convection oven/air fryer that currently sits on my counter. I have a built in shelf in the end of my kitchen island that holds my microwave, and I’m seriously considering replacing it with a Breville microwave/convection oven. I have a Wolf range with a big oven, and I rarely use it anymore.

At previous house, rather than having two wall ovens, I had one large oven and one combo convection/microwave, and that worked well.
