Promising review: "I have such a small kitchen that I can only wash a few dishes at a time, but this rack allows me to wash and drip dry better over my sink. I will be using it when I’m rinsing vegetables before stir-frying and many more ideas. I didn’t like the color at first but this look of stainless steel makes cleaning and drip drying much better. I will be using this a few times a day to make my life easier in the kitchen!" —DzzGramma
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four sizes).
Promising reviews: "This thing is less than 6 inches/15 centimeters when the water reservoir is positioned in the back. We have a small kitchen, so this is a dream come true! Works like our old Keurig." —Anna Y.

Promising reviews: "This swivels easily, holds many K-Cups, and doesn’t move on the counter. Great for small kitchens. Definitely would recommend purchasing!" —Sandy
"Great for small spaces. I have seen several versions throughout the years, and all were much wider and took up a lot of counter space due to their width. This one is very small and takes up very little space but fits a large amount of K-Cups in it. Spins very easily and smoothly and requires enough force that it just doesn't spin when touching it or removing the one you want." —Justin

Promising review: "I just moved in with my b,oyfriend and we both love to cook. We have so many different spices. Our kitchen is really small so we needed a smart way to make it functional for us. Since our fridge is right next to the stove, putting the spices nearby is ideal. We put all the ones we use on the shelf and the other half on the cabinet shelf. It’s such a cute and functional setup. Love it!! The shelves are wide enough to fit more than one row of spices, as you can see in the pictures. It’s very sturdy, and the magnet is amazing. I was skeptical at first. Once on the side of the fridge, I tried to move and readjust the second one closer to the first, but it would not budge! It’s also very good for those who are renting and don’t want to put holes in the walls." —Andorra
Get it from Amazon for $25.
As a person in possession of both a snack-obsessed toddler and this breadbox... this might be my favorite thing in my kitchen. The magnetic closure is a huge bonus: It's never going to just flop open and smush little fingers. Plus, the whole thing is magnetic, so there are lots of places to put your fav magnets! It is deceptively roomy... you can see I like to store my Dash egg cooker there, too.
Promising reviews: "Due to lack of pantry space, I was looking for a sturdy front opening bread box that was metal, roomy, and assembled. This is the one. I was able to store a loaf of bread, a bag of mini-bagels, a bag of English muffins, a box of Ritz Crackers, a small bag of bagel chips, and a half-eaten party-size bag of chips, and I still have room. After reading reviews of lots of other boxes, I decided to buy this even though it was MUCH more than I wanted to pay. It is quality-made and will probably outlast me!" —J. Heins
"I just got it today, so I can’t comment on its durability, but it’s made of thick and hard metal, something you cannot bend easily. I also like how it’s semi-matte so it gives a modern aesthetic. I bought it for $100+, it’s not cheap but the quality justifies the cost. I’m able to fit all the cluttered items into the box to tidy up my kitchen counter." —Diana C.

Promising review: "I loved the travel mug that came with the beautiful rocket blender. What is it not to like about this blender? It's small, sleek, and easy to clean in several pieces to help with everyday life. In my daily routine, convenience is a big thing, being able to do something quickly without worrying about such a big mess to clean up afterwards. To top it off, I'm in an apartment, so space is limited. This takes up minimal space and is small yet powerful. Don't walk, but run and get yourself one! —Coffeemom17
Get it from Walmart for $29.96 (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "My stove has no ledge on it and it makes it really difficult for salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar containers. This was the solution to my problem! It is very durable, has perfect weight, increases storage space, and is perfect for small kitchen spaces in need of organization. Highly recommend!!!" —Amanda Mitchell
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and three colors).
Promising review: "Recently moved, and now I have a much smaller kitchen and no real pantry. This can organizer is a total lifesaver for my cabinets. I can fit two of these on my shelf and still have tons of room for other items now. The racks are easy to assemble but they are a little bit wobbly. Both of mine are at capacity with cans and are holding up just fine, though. Definitely recommend for smaller kitchens!" —Smuckeroo

The compact size is ideal for small kitchens, and the aqua adds a fun pop to my countertop. It's perfect for kids and families, making breakfast time a delightful experience." —Allanah

Promising review: "This is a perfect organizer for a kitchen counter that is small. Just fit it in a corner and you can store many kinds of wraps in their original boxes. It’s sturdy too." —Pam R.
"Just moved into a place with a small kitchen. This item is great for getting a lot into a small space and still making all my wraps easily accessible. Very sturdy construction. Even included an extra little footie, just in case. The top shelf fits a box of single aluminum foil sheets, which I buy at Costco. It will hold all the wraps I usually have on hand. I live in Hawaii and don't have the selection available at retailers on the mainland, so Amazon is a real blessing. Good value for your money, in my opinion." —christel

Promising reviews: "Works better than I expected. In our small kitchen, having a cooking pot lid holder is perfect." —Bruce D. Paugh
"I like this so much!!!! It’s very sturdy, thick, and strong enough to hold a heavy lid with my cooking utensils with ease. This is one of the best kitchen gadget inventions. I love the true white color, too. It matches my kitchen theme. I’m getting another one before they run out." —Manny
Get it from Amazon for $26.
Promising reviews: "Love this for good-looking kitchen storage. So much nicer than plastic alternatives. Fits perfectly in the small space between the refrigerator and the kitchen cabinet." —Beth Jones
"I have a very small kitchen with limited space, but just enough to spare for this! It helped clear out one of my wall cabinets and made my most-used items easier to access. The wheels are great, and it slides out smoothly. I love that there are different heights between the shelves to store taller jars, and my glass containers fit perfectly as they don’t slide around nor difficult to remove/put back. The price is a little higher than others I’ve looked at, but it’s great quality and needed no assembly other than putting the wheels on!" —Alicia
Get it from Amazon for $145 (available in two colors).
Don't forget your perfectly sized compostable liner bags!
Promising reviews: "I never thought I'd say I love a garbage can, but I do!! My kitchen is fairly small, and this was the perfect way to save some space.

You can use it upright or on its side.
Promising reviews: "Very simple and attractive organizer that helped us make better use of our small kitchen space. We use this product in its vertical position, and it's absolutely crucial that you use the anchor screw to secure it, because otherwise it's prone to becoming top heavy and can easily topple over, terrifying your cats and annoying your fiancé." —Amazon Customer
"I was tired of stacking my frying pans on top of each other and was looking for something to both organize my pans and give me easy access to them. Before this organizer, I would have to unstack several pans in order to get to the middle pan that I needed. Now, I can just reach in and immediately get the frying pan that I need without having to unstack. The quality of this organizer is pretty good." —L

It has these handy symbols on the side to tell you (and guests) where the utensils are located. I also love the two extra little pockets, and I keep coffee spoons there. I also keep chopsticks with the forks as they fit quite easily." —Emily
