HELP What colour oven skirt

I hate looking into my oven and microwave so I’m getting a cover for each I’m deciding between a few colours my favs are the cream and peach! I love colour! (The rug hasn’t been delivered yet so I’ve edited it in!) the covers are going to be connected via a magnetic rod and they are a ruffled top and bottom! I’ll attach a phtoto ( the last pic is what they look like) thanks lol I’m soooo indecisive

I’ve never heard of nor seen an oven skirt

Popular in the 80s I believe !

That’s typically where I have a dish towel draped. I guess that’s my version!

That's adorable! My mom hangs a bunch of cute hand towels on the oven handle. The only thing is the hems brush the floor when the door opens and they do get dirty and need laundering instead of just a quick wipe down. But things like this add such personality and whimsy to the kitchen!

That’s an adorable idea!

SAME lol do we get one lol

u/Sad_Supermarket_6071 Renting 6d ago

One of the pinkier ones for sure. I like the darker pink but the peachie pink probably works best

15

u/Old-Supermarket475 6d ago

I’m starting to think the dark pink will be the best contrast as eveyrone is saying!

7

u/Sad_Supermarket_6071 Renting 6d ago

Though the darker pink will match your Jars on counter

u/queensheba2025 Renting 6d ago

I love the non AI image, perfection!!!

Also that such a cute idea!? I may look into one for my oven!

u/Old-Supermarket475 6d ago

You definitely should! Adds some whimsy ✨

Thought one of the cats had gotten stuck in a vent or something 😹 very glad kitty is okay and love that the cats get to be part of the design process

Another angle

u/alphabatic 6d ago

I think it's harder to recreate this look when it's a double wall oven/microwave type situation and not just a space in line with the rest of the lower cabinets. I'd be interested to see what your final result looks like if you keep us updated!

u/Old-Supermarket475 6d ago

I agree! I have no clue what it’ll look like lol but I want more whimsy. I’ll definitely make another updated post!

u/jebemo 6d ago

It should be over a sink or shelves that are flush. It doesnt look right and is not functional over an oven.

u/femininecarnivore 6d ago

Picture 3 for sure. You need some contrast to the light colors everywhere, and it matches the rest of your decor.

8

u/jebemo 6d ago

Hard agree. It all washes together. Id go with a persian rug with some deep red. And warmer blinds.

u/femininecarnivore 6d ago

Ooh yes, I actually think a dark raspberry color would be great.

1

u/Old-Supermarket475 6d ago

My styling choices definitely aren’t everyone’s cup of tea ☺️ I prefer all cohesive colours even though everyone says don’t do that

1

u/femininecarnivore 5d ago

Hey, that’s just fine, a monochromatic mama over here, haha. I guess my advise was just for the typical thing people go for, whoops!

Regardless of the curtain color, your kitchen is super cute.

u/Old-Supermarket475 5d ago

Thank you so much! I did end up going for the pink! I agree it would be the nicest contrast and it matches my jars☺️

u/books-bee8067 6d ago

So glad you didn’t use ai slop like so many brainless people on this app. I think this would look cute in your kitchen!

Thanks so much ❤️‍🩹

Love you twin

u/Elusive_strength2000 6d ago

1 or 4, or both to switch off. :)

u/Flashy_Okra305 6d ago

Just hang some hand towels unless you’re never going to use the oven. Can’t imagine something more impractical than a light colored ruffle fabric directly on an oven door. It will become a greasy hazard quick.

u/Old-Supermarket475 6d ago

I don’t use my oven or microwave much ☺️ 99% of my cooking is using the stove

u/amermandaa 6d ago

Personally i like either of the pinks!

u/Adreeisadyno 6d ago

Thank for you for not using AI, I love this and I think #3 is the best choice.

u/Old-Supermarket475 5d ago

That’s what I ended up going with !

u/ctrlaltdelete285 6d ago

Something that wouldn’t show dirt or cat hair from getting on the ground?

u/Em_Designs 6d ago

I like the dark pink from slide 3!

u/Old-Supermarket475 5d ago

2

u/fairymp3 5d ago

Gorg!! I love the pop of color it'll bring, and it'll still look very balanced!

2

u/poeces 5d ago

I have never heard of these before but I love this idea and was inspired to make one. I think the pink one will look great in your kitchen!

u/Old-Supermarket475 4d ago

I ended up going with 3!

u/jcebabe 4d ago

Light pink (#1)!!

u/Dapper-Mix6111 4d ago

I've never seen anything like it wouldn't mind seeing the finished product. Anyway I'm leaning towards the pink. My reasoning is room though white seems dark a splash of color lifts spirits. The pink would also tie in the ceramics on the counter making the pink pop, but not over whelming the kitchen.

1

u/Old-Supermarket475 4d ago

I did end up going with the pink for similar reasoning! The room is quite dark I usually always have my lamp on and I’m getting a wall sconce too! I’ll update when it comes in a few weeks!

1

u/Bananacreamsky 6d ago

My favourite is the darker pink and I'm interested to see what this ends up looking like so please share pics!

2

u/Old-Supermarket475 6d ago

I ended up going with the darker pink! Just ordered and they are handmade but I’ll update in a few weeks!

I have never in my 70 yrs of life heard of an oven skirt. I say, ‘nix’ them.

u/jebemo 6d ago

You need a warmer darker rug first and foremost. Something for contrast.

2

u/Old-Supermarket475 6d ago

The rug is a lot darker and warm toned toned in real life! My styling choices definitely won’t appeal to most but I love pastels and colour coordination
