Not every kitchen is spacious. But instead of creating a mess by cluttering up your kitch, here are 17 ways you can maximize your limited kitchen space. It's doable, and more cost efficient than remodelling your home for the sake of a larger kitchen.
Use the inside of your cabinet doors
Cabinet doors have great space to store spices, measuring cups, and anything small you can think of.
Use an over-the-sink cutting board
If you don't have enough surfaces, this comes in handy. It's also neater as juices and other things can fall into the sink without making a mess on your counter.
Hack your fake drawers
Get rid of those fake drawers in your kitchen and replace with a paper towel holder to save counter space.
Use every single bit of wall space
Your kitchen may be tiny, so make use of the wall space!
Use a pegboard to store pots and pans
Hanging your pots and pans on a pegboard not only frees up space, it could also look decorative.
Use a Lazy Susan for corner storage
Maximize the storage in hard to reach areas by installing a Lazy Susan that will make everything so much more convenient.
Install a built-in dish rack over your sink
No space on your counter? Then have your drying dishes neatly tucked away with this innovative idea.
Ditch the knife block
Instead, use a magnetic knife strip.
Turn your fridge into a spice rack
Use the unused space on your refrigerator to save some cupboard space.
Convert your cabinet space into rolling shelves
Use up every nook with easy-to-access shelving. This way you won't have to rearrange your shelves every time you need to reach into it to retrieve something.
Install a pull-out cutting board
This small addition is a lifesaver when you're cooking a big meal in your tiny kitchen.
Use under-the-sink space with the help of Command Hooks
Free up some space by taking advantage of the door.
Use a hanging bar to store your kitchen essentials
Keep everything in view and add a little extra storage with this solution.
Free up cupboard space with a storage cart
Storage carts can be easily wheeled out of the kitchen if you need maximum kitchen space
Get a fold-down kitchen table
The table neatly folds away on the wall to save space.
Use a recessed power outlet
If bulky plugs get in your way, go for a recessed power outlet. You'll save space too!
Use a wall-mounted food dispenser
Store dry foods in one of these instead of taking up precious room on the shelf.
