Five Ways to Maximize a Small Kitchen

May 22, 2013 by Kathy Sollien Leave a Comment

A small kitchen can quickly become cluttered and feel cramped. According to Consumer Reports, a few small upgrades can make a big improvement. To maximize the space you have, rethink where you store things, especially if counter space is at a premium. Here are five additional ways to make every available inch count:

  1. Place your dishwasher strategically. Choose a location near the sink but where the dishwasher won’t stop traffic when the door is open. Remember to think about access to other appliances, too. You don’t want the dishwasher door to block the refrigerator door, for example.
  2. Incorporate a landing spot for food by the refrigerator and for pots and pans on at least one side of the stove. These small details can easily improve your kitchen’s efficiency.
  3. Install roll-out cabinets where possible. A roll-out spice rack near the range is a great use of space and eliminates clutter on the countertop or in a cabinet.
  4. Drawers and pull-out shelves can make a big difference. They’re a perfect way to store pots, pans, kitchen tools and even dishware. Most commercial cabinets can be outfitted with pull-out shelves and other organizers.
  5. Before making any updates, take an inventory of everything you need and use in your kitchen and where it’s kept. Remember to plan storage for small, easily overlooked items such as pot holders and plastic bags.
