[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any tips from someone with a small kitchen? Like a DC rowhouse? We're not doing 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers, wall oven, etc[/quote]

Make a list of literally everything in your kitchen. Looking at a basic floor plan of the space, identify the zones of the kitchen (“ice” or fridge; “water” or sink; “fire” or stove) and the traffic patterns. Then figure out your main appliance layout, and how much space you have for cabinets, and figure out items you want where. In small kitchens, maximize your cabinetry but don’t cut corners on walkway space or spacing. Then you can search online and see the options for storing utenisils or spices etc and figure out what type of cabinet and organization works best. And look at cabinets in person, at least for rough dimensions. Other than IKEA style frameless cabinets, the actual space is much smaller than the dimension (eg the drawers in an 18” base cabinet are actually quite narrow). I think that is why IKEA cabinets are so popular - they definitely maximize space[/quote]
