We love how this tiny cottage kitchen keeps the countertop clutter-free using several clever storage solutions. Below are our favorite ideas. The three toe kick drawers under the kitchen’s base cabinets put the space that traditionally goes to waste behind baseboards to good use. You can retrofit most standard base cabinets for toe kick drawers. A curtain rod creates a smidgen of vertical storage for utensils in front of the window. And of course, we need to point out the small pot rack that’s conveniently placed next to the oven.

There is no problem to set up a countertop in your small kitchen, just follow the above ideas.

If there’s not enough space in your tiny kitchen to create the storage you crave, consider using a nook or closet in a nearby room. A recessed niche can be used to stash kitchen tools you occasionally use or nonperishable pantry items. A curtain, as shown on the left, can keep what you store out of sight.

Before doing it, you need to find a professional to help you to cut out a space. Alternately, you can save the cost if your house has an empty room for you to store the kitchen stuff.
