Apartment Kitchen Ideas that

Maximize Space

Apartment kitchens can feel a bit cramped, especially if you rent a studio or small apartment. With these space-saving apartment kitchen ideas, you'll be able to maximize your space and keep it organized!

Make use of cabinet doors

One nifty storage idea that costs less than ten bucks is installing permanent or temporary hooks or shelves on the inside of your cabinet doors.

Head to any hardware store and you'll find all sorts of command hooks and other similar products.
You'll be able to hang kitchen essentials like measuring cups and utensils, or store things like container lids, rolls of foil, and plastic bags.
The best part? You're making better use of space you already have!

Choose space-saving appliances

In smaller kitchens, your appliances can really eat up space. It's important that appliances are proportional to the size of the kitchen.

Instead of overcrowding the space with a giant, full-size refrigerator, look for smaller capacity models (under 21 cubic feet).
Another way to save some space is to use a portable dishwasher. You'll be able to move it around as needed (hello wheels) and many of them come with laminate tops that can double as extra counter space.
Just because space-saving appliances look smaller, it doesn't mean they aren't as mighty!

Try a pot rack

Instead of storing your pots and pans in the coveted cabinets, try a pot rack! It can hang over your island or anywhere there isn't a ton of foot traffic. Plus, once you've washed your larger pots and pans, they won't need to take up counter space to dry — you can just hang them up!

Hang up a pegboard

Use a pegboard to hang up everything from measuring cups to copper pots and pans. It functions similarly to a pot rack, but you can hang so much more! A pegboard can serve as a new home for your whisks, coffee mugs, tongs, spatulas, and skillets.

Use a magnetic knife rack

When counter space is limited, a magnetic knife rack is a simple fix to save a ton of counter space that could be better used for things like food prep. Plus, many magnetic knife strips cost less than $40!
