2. Make better use of a corner. Corners can be a difficult part of kitchens to use efficiently, as cabinetry placed here rarely makes items easily accessible. Placing an open pantry in this tricky spot can be a great way to keep items more available.
4. Reduce your numbers. If your kitchen is really mini, or even if it isn’t, think about doing a good edit of your paraphernalia. Be honest: Do you really need more than a handful of plates, mugs or glasses if there are only one or two of you? Having less stuff can be immensely freeing — and will significantly reduce the amount of time you spend washing up, which is a big bonus.
The studio’s compact kitchen has a tiny oven and limited countertop space, but Rogers keeps the space tidy so it doesn’t look cluttered.
4. Plastic containers without lids. Match up your reusable containers with their lids, and recycle the extras (many are recyclable, but check the specifics in your area). Also consider getting rid of surplus sets if you have a large number. One neat set — nesting sets are especially handy and take up little space — is probably all you need. In fact, unless you bring food to work and need an unbreakable container, you may be better off with a set of glass bowls with lids, as these can do double duty for mixing and food storage.d
