1. Use a Lazy Susan

These take up minimal space compared to having to line up each of the items on your dinner table.
Not only is a lazy susan helpful when eating, it only takes up a small amount of counter space and can even be used to store cutlery, spices, and other cooking utensils.

4. Organize Your Cutting Boards
There is nothing worse than having a chaotic section of cutting boards in your kitchen. Some try to utilize kitchen cabinets to store their boards or cabinet doors.
These can definitely work as decent storage solutions, however, using dividers and vertical slots for cutting boards is a genius way to create a designated cutting board cabinet.
5. Using the Kitchen Sink for Smart Storage
Try to avoid adding everything in the kitchen cupboards, but look for smart places or a vertical space that you can utilize.
For example, the kitchen sink has incredible potential to save you space in a small or tiny kitchen, or even just to declutter!
Under the Sink Shelving
A well measured compact shelf will prove very useful for storing stackable items, or kitchen essentials.

Despite being a typically small space, this storage space has a lot to offer.
