For most of us, living in a big city like Seattle often means making the most of limited space—and nowhere is this more apparent than in the kitchen. Small kitchens can be a challenge, especially if you love to cook or have a growing collection of cookware and appliances.
But cramped quarters don’t have to cramp your culinary style! With a bit of creativity and the right hacks, you can transform even the tiniest kitchen into a well-functioning, storage-savvy haven.
We’ve put together our favorite DIY storage ideas for small kitchens to help you maximize storage, stay organized, and prepare for your next feast!
Countertop spice rack
When you have limited space, reserving an entire drawer for spices can be a tall order. This simple spice rack can (literally) elevate your storage game by helping you make the most of vertical cabinet or shelf space while keeping your collection of spices visible.
Small rolling kitchen island with storage
You can never have enough counter space. A rolling island can be a game-changer for improving the functionality of a small kitchen, giving you more mobile storage and surface area to prep and serve your best meals.
Sleek wall storage pegboard
In a small kitchen, using walls is a great way to utilize unused space. Pegboards are an easy solution for putting your prettiest cookware on display, taking your small kitchen’s aesthetic to new heights.
Hidden under-sofa storage drawers
Initially designed for bedroom organization, these rolling storage boxes can easily be sized to fit under your sofa for extra kitchen storage. With wheels, handles, and a non-slam lid, stylish storage boxes are a discrete way to stow table linens, infrequently used kitchen gadgets, or seasonal cookware.
Rolling kitchen table or island
Need more room for meal prep or a cozy spot for kitchen hangouts? Say hello to our larger kitchen island on wheels. It’s like a kitchen sidekick—rolling in to save the day when you need more counter space or extra seating.
Rolling kitchen cart with shelf storage
Looking for an indoor bar cart or a smaller kitchen island with storage? Unlike the large rolling kitchen table, this cart is built for versatility with a bottom shelf and customizable accessories to suit your storage needs.
