So from our plans we have 4m of back bench space in our gallery kitchen.
Given it is such a long bench, I was wondering if this would work:
90 cm canopy rangehood (I love the ones with the curved glass
)
60cm cooktop
60cm oven (underbench)
Do you think this will look unsightly with the 90cm rangehood and only 60cm cooktop and also do you think the bench will be far too big and look funny with a 60cm cooktop.
I have attached our plan so you can see the kitchen and where it will be situated in our new home.
Any comments would be much appreciated! Thanks so much!!!!

Any particular reason you're going with the 60cm cooktop and oven?

We are having electric cooktop and oven and not gas.
I'm not a fan of the 90cm electric ovens (think they are too skinny and not enough height) and the cooktops are a waste with 5 or 6 burners when the maximum burners I use at any given time is 2 or 3 tops...
I don't think you can ever have too much bench space!
A 90cm rangehood works well with a smaller cooktop because it extends over the edges - only 15cm each side, making sure it will extract everything.
If you are having items on the benchtop - kettle, coffee maker, knife set etc, the space wouldn't look so big - it would soon fill up.
On the other hand, it is nice to see a long clean bench with nothing on it!
If you have a nice splashback, it can be a feature as well.
You could also incorporate some wall towers for extra cupboard space, this would reduce the size of the bench.
Just a few thoughts.
What about a freestanding oven???
A 90cm rangehood over a smaller cooktop will look fine, the other way around could look odd ....having said THAT, I have a smaller rangehood than my cooktop but it is hidden
so no-one can tell. We had a discussion about 90cm ovens last year and I am sure the interior was the same capacity as a 75cm (which is what I have) or 60cm oven
anyone remember that? It measures 90cm only because the controls are on the side but there was no more space internally.
Hi, I am wondering if a 90cm ceramic gas cootop and a 90 cm canopy rangehood would look strange with a 60cm underbench oven? Unfortunately Electrolux dont make a 90cm oven, otherwise I would go with that! But the 60cm was Choice magazines top oven, so I can live with that. Does anyone else have this size oven and cooktop? Does it look ok? Thanks.
Oven size doesn't matter much unless you feed a crowd every night but gas cooktops are a different matter a 60 cm is way to small and crammed you may have to remove one pan to fit another so if you got the bench space i would go for none less that a 75cm look space between burners is good and since you have a 90cm rangehood
I have just left behind my 90 cm gas cooktop and my 90cm electric oven, I'm still crying. Going back to standard 60cm is terrible.
wow, this is an old thread.
In case anyone is wondering I did end up going with 90cm rangehood and 60cm for both cooktop and oven. I love it!
Love your kitchen, and I agree that it works well. I think the oven and cooktop are the crucial components that need to match up. Well done, congratulations on a superb kitchen.
I think it will look great!
We're having 4.75mt of island bench and I was worried about it being too long, but yous look like its not too bad. I like it.
It may have looked funny with a 900mm cook top and 600mm oven but looks good.
