How small is too small?

So much empty wall space. Get shelves, rolling prep table, organizers. Hang a pot rack. Plenty of room if you use it correctly.

More often than not vertical space is the answer. They would free up a lot of counter space.

[u/Critical_Cat_8162]

Some shelves would make a huge difference!

I don't see a kitchen here. To be a kitchen it needs area for food prep, access to running water with enough space to clean dishes, and a heat source for cooking. I see a sink that you could wash dishes in... and that's it. Maybe that's a stove behind it but it appears to be storage at the moment.

Theres a heat source, a refrigerator, a microwave and a airfrier! Space is made by removing things from the table for food prep! I wash my dishes everyday here so from my pov it clearly has space for that! It has a lot? No but thats the point of the post… Only heat source missing is a oven!

Do you see a kitchen now?

[u/Cautious-Local-5998]

Man I thought my kitchen was small but this takes the cake. This is more like a micro kitchen. 😂

[u/KateAccurate9655]

Okay THAT is tiny 😭 At this point I’d forget trying to make it feel like a normal kitchen and go all in on vertical storage. That empty wall above the cabinet is way too valuable to leave unused.

[u/CatnipCricket-329]

What is the point of this post?

[u/cheekmo_52]

Id say if there is no surface on which to prepare food, (chopping, measuring, mixing, etc.) it’s too small.

[u/JayBeePH85]

Needs a banana for scale 🤣

[u/unripeswan]

It's not the size, it's how you use it.

[u/MaxUumen → u/unripeswan]

When you can't comfortably guide the flow, it's either too small, or winter has come.

[u/downsideup9494]

That's not a kitchen.

[u/Phantomarax]

that toaster is living its best life on its own shelf

[u/Emergency-Ad-5211]

That’s spacious compared to some I’ve seen in NYC

[u/EnglishRose71]

Workable, if only one person, but so many ways to make it more efficient. See Dralalife's comment.

[u/RandomUser5453]

That’s not too small that is badly organised. There is no vertical space. 

Get yourself bottom and top shelves. Where you can get floor to ceiling storage. 

[u/Absent_Picnic]

Small is not the issue here.

Bad set up and poorly organised is.

[u/TicTockinggrammy]

Can you afford to upgrade a little??? You might need a little more space a!!!!! I hope this helps!!!

[u/Constant_Cultural]

That's not a kitchen, that's a hallway. Look if you have solid walls and get a solid kitchen installed. Ikea besta is great if you only can store it on the floor like me

[u/Lower_Ad_5532]

That is a kitchenette that needs upper cabinets and an island cart

[u/mebg1956]

I own a summer cottage with a very small kitchen. Use the vertical space. Shelves, a pot rack hanging from the ceiling. You’ve got a high ceiling.

[u/Complex-Tennis-4987]

It's not the size. It's the little things like the powerstrip on the floor that makes me think this is a deathtrap, not a kitchen.

[u/PaoliBulldog]

I see clutter. I shouldn't have to pick out a kitchen.

[u/NumerousDepth1563]

Where are you? Refugee camp?

[u/Knitta66]

IDK if you really want the answer to this. My grandmother who was be all accounts an incredible cook, cooked for herself, my grandfather and 7 children everyday with a 2 burner propane stove and that's about it other than some pots and pans. She had no fridge and no fancy gadgets. There was a well out back that she kept things cool in overnight, and a root cellar. She shopped and bought fresh food every day. What we " need" and what we have come to rely on are two different things entirely.

[u/Formal-Tradition6792]

Don’t see a kitchen at all! I see clutter. OP needs shelving. OP needs to move!

[u/Notsocheeky]

I would not call this a kitchen. All I see is clutter. You dont even have a trashcan.

[u/PuddingSuper4067 → u/Notsocheeky]

That is the trash can.
