Another space-saver in modern kitchen design is the microwave drawer. Some kitchens allow for a built-in microwave above the stove, while in kitchens with a smaller footprint this handy yet bulky appliance takes up valuable counter space.

Priced anywhere from $700-$2000 this feature is a must-have for your kitchen remodel. Sizes and wattage vary a bit so you’ll want to talk with your SheBuilds Designer about which will work best in your space as well as for the amount of use it will receive.
Some microwave drawers are equipped with standard features, others with smart sensors. Believe it or not, “Smart” microwave drawers come equipped with sensors that automatically adjust power levels and cooking time based on the moisture levels in your food.
