What size range should we purchase for our kitchen renovation?

6 years ago

Hi everyone,


My husband and I are renovating our kitchen and are struggling to decide which size range we want to replace our old one. The two ranges we're considering are both Lacanche ranges, one being the Saulieu/Savigny, which is 43.5" long, and the other being the Citeaux, which is 59 5/16" long. As far as functionality is concerned, the Citeaux is definitely our preferred range, given the extra burners and the addition of the warming cupboard. However, we both worry that the overall look will be - well - overkill, mostly due to the size of the hood that would need to be purchased to accommodate that size range. I should note that we both really like the black/brass hood, as it seems to make the range pop that much more - we've thought about a wood hood instead, but both my husband and I are concerned with it being a "sea of white", hence the contrasting hood.


I've included a photo of the current space, as well as two renderings I did myself (and which may not be fully to scale, so take them with a grain of salt). Neither of us mind the "professional kitchen" look, however, we also don't want it to look wrong for the space, either. I've also included a photograph of the entire kitchen (pardon the clutter), so that you can see where the range/hood would sit relative to everything else.

Any thoughts?
