There are many reasons to love my small kitchen. Compressed into just 35 square feet of space, I can tend to my oven, use the microwave, and fill a glass of water all without moving a single step. Convenient though that may be, sometimes we all crave more room to comfortably prepare our meals, and when tiny kitchens are in question, space-saving solutions should be a top priority.
Having recently completed my first-ever kitchen renovation, my small kitchen is far more functional than it once was. The clever pull-out spice rack has offered versatile storage where a clunky cabinet would fail, and the plate rack wall shelf makes it so much easier to serve up dinner than the teetering tower of dishes I was dealing with before. That being said, there are still plenty of areas where I wish I'd compromised to gain some extra space instead of prioritizing a beautiful - yet, at times, impractical - aesthetic.
