Institution is the key to success through one small kitchen space! As tedious as it might sound, it can make a world of difference in a kitchen where shelves & cabinets are limited.For a small space with a limited number of cabinets, shelves & drawers, let’s start small & begin with the drawers. They come in many different sizes & depths & can be used to store anything from flatware to kitchen appliances. When working with a small space, learn to use every inch of storage space efficiently. Shallow drawers are usually placed right underneath the countertop and thus should be used for easy to reach items such flatware, silverware, & cooking utensils. Deeper drawers should be used to store bigger items, such as large bowls & cookware. Don’t be afraid to use shelf dividers & other organizational tools to maximize drawer space; for example, utility drawer inserts or peg boards can be used to make separate compartments within drawers for any variety of things.
