1. Mirrored Backsplash (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3GrGLdp)
Here's a great idea: double the appearance of your small kitchen with these stylish mirrored subway tiles. These come in silver and bronze. They're perfect if you're looking for a more modern, sleek look. https://amzn.to/3GrGLdp
2. Magnetic Refrigerator Spice Rack (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3GoEeRa)
One of the keys to making a smaller kitchen work is clearing the clutter from your counters, while still keeping things you use frequently within easy reach. You could also use one on the side of your counter microwave, coffee maker or washing machine. (https://amzn.to/3GoEeRa)
3. Magnetic Over Stove Spice Rack Organizer (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Rrc3aL)
We all store our salt and pepper over the stove. This cool magnetic rack just makes that easier and more efficient. Combine this with some matching spice holders and you'll have a really sleek look. These come in 3 colors and 3 sizes to fit most stoves. https://amzn.to/3Rrc3aL
4. Under Cabinet Coffee Pod Holder, Perfect Idea for Small Kitchen (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3T7EUCb)
I love our coffee pod carousel that sits on the counter and makes reaching for a K-Cup easy. But it takes up way too much valuable counter space. I love how this under cabinet design is tucked away when you don't need it, but is still very convenient. https://amzn.to/3T7EUCb
5. Single Serve Coffee Maker + Coffee Grinder (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/47Rgtgw)
Nothing beats freshly ground coffee. But a separate grinder just takes up more valuable space in your smaller kitchen. This coffee maker allows you to choose between a fresh grind or a packaged coffee pod. https://amzn.to/47Rgtgw
6. Kitchen Cabinet Pots and Pans Organizer (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Tf3CjM)
No matter how hard you try, storing pots and pans without some sort of organizer just looks a mess and uses up a lot of cabinet space. The iron shelves can be adjusted to the size of your pots and pans. https://amzn.to/3Tf3CjM
7. Over The Door Hanging Pantry Organizer (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3uNw7Li)
In a smaller kitchen, maximizing your pantry space is critical. This over-the-door rack is easy to install and offers loads of storage space. This would also be great for bathrooms, utility rooms or even a small home office.
8. SodaStream for Home Sodas and Bubbly Water (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3sSuhZh)
I love a cold soda on a hot day. And sometimes I just like some bubbles in my everyday drinks. But bottles and cans of carbonated beverages can take up a lot of valuable real estate in your smaller kitchen. The SodaStream can save you a ton of beverage space and it's great not having to lug those 2-liter bottles and 12-packs back from the grocery store. We also enjoy mixing and matching the flavors to create our own soda recipes. The small SodaStream can stay on your countertop (it actually looks pretty cool) or you can pre-make your favorite beverages and store it away until needed. https://amzn.to/3sSuhZh
9. Plastic Bag and Foil/Plastic Wrap Organizer with Cutter (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3t2UxjG)
Boxes of plastic bags and foil take up a lot of cabinet space and sometimes it's really hard to locate the size you're looking for. I'm also famous for buying too many of one size bag or wrap and running out of the others. This keeps things organized and lets you see more clearly when you're running low. Plus, I love the convenient cutter. This will fit in a drawer (be sure to measure) or you can mount it on the wall to save even more space! https://amzn.to/3t2UxjG
10. Grocery Plastic Bag Holder and Dispenser (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3NcgDH7)
Just about every kitchen includes a plastic grocery bag filled with more grocery bags. The bags are really useful, but they can take up a lot of space. This sleek receptacle lets you neatly store them away until you need a bag for a dog walk or a trash can liner. Mount it inside a cabinet drawer to keep things looking clutter free in your smaller kitchen. https://amzn.to/3NcgDH7
11. Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Bar (On Amazon: https://amzn.to/419vesD)
We had a really old butcher block knife holder which was okay. But it took up counter space and I couldn't see which size knife I was withdrawing. This takes up zero counter space and can hold other metal kitchen tools. You can also get one to stay organized on your work bench or utility closet. Also great to hold some art supplies or items in your home office area.
