Kitchen space ideas

Yes, tiny kitchens can be adorable, but they can pose problems when it comes to having adequate space to store cookware, prep and keep food, cook and eat, and house your plants (hey, that’s important, too!). You might be able to renovate, but that’s certainly costly—and perhaps not an option if you’re renting. But where some see a problem, IKEA hackers naturally see an opportunity. They don’t just stick to the store’s kitchen section, either!

When it comes to organizing the kitchen, there are two things that keep us up at night: spices and cookie sheets. It’s not that these everyday essentials take up all that much space—there’s just never a convenient place to put them. That’s why more and more renovators are building dedicated niches for these items when they remodel their spaces.
