Microwave stands are a smart way to maximise bench space and keep everyday appliances accessible without clutter. Designed to lift your microwave off the surface or create functional space around it, these units help streamline your kitchen setup while making room for utensils, containers or small baskets underneath. Ideal for small kitchens or shared spaces, a microwave stand instantly adds structure and storage to your bench.
A microwave stand provides the perfect platform for building a kitchen hub. Many styles feature raised shelving that lets you store jars, bowls or trays beneath the microwave. This added tier can help separate cooking tools from prep items or create a tidy home for daily-use items. Pair with benchtop shelves or pull-out baskets to build a cohesive and practical bench setup.
Adding nearby tea towel holders or plate stands helps create a smooth cooking and reheating zone. In the pantry, a microwave stand can also double as a shelf for storage containers or Lazy Susans.
Use a microwave stand as the starting point for kitchen bench organisation. It’s ideal for stacking matching plates or housing a plate stand nearby. For drawers or cupboards close to your microwave, under-shelf storage drawers or pan racks can also support a more considered kitchen layout.
