I have a large space behind my stove because I do not have a microwave there, we had the same problem when we built the house, we decided to try a mirror, everybody says OMG, I don't want to stand there and stare at myself while I cook! You'd be surprised, I seldom see myself, it looks like another room as it reflects the livingroom and it is so easy to clean. we repainted last month and I broke it taking it down, I felt like I was in a box while standing at the stove, sure was glad to get a new one. mine is 24X30 and only $20 at Lowe's
