Hanging Rod Above The Sink
Normally, you will put washed dishes or cookware on the sink basket. But, the sink basket will always occupy the space. What if you can hang up the cookware?
If the space between the cabinet and the sink is enough, you can install a hanging rod.
You can hang everything that has a handle especially the cookware. The water can drop directly into the sink. All the things you need are just waiting.

Reduce Your Appliances
I know no one wants to reduce their kitchen appliances. But if your kitchen is really small, I think you have to consider this.
Let me summarize some of the techniques to organize kitchen appliances. After that, you will definitely expand your kitchen space more than a little.
Buying appliances should consider the frequency of use and function.
The appliances that used almost every day such as rice cookers, microwave ovens, food processor, pressure cooker, espresso machine, etc. This type of electrical appliance has to be fully functional and easy to use, and it is worth investing in.
Appliances such as hand mixer, air fryer, deep fryer, food dehydrator, slow cooker, and personal smoothie blender may be used several times a week. This category is also a necessity.
It will not use several times after buying it such as juicers, blenders, ice cream maker, waffle maker and so on. This type of appliance is purchased according to individual needs.
Try to use multi-functional kitchen appliances to reduce the need for buying a single function machine.
Donate Or Throw Everything Unused
Throw away the excess bowl and expired food. Place the repeat cutlery into the donation box. What is more difficult to choose is something that is usually not used, but is reluctant to throw, such as a juicer that uses only once or twice a year.
My advice is to find out what really needs to be used. The difficult choice decided in the end.
If you really don’t want to lose them, you can put it in your storage room in order. Make a clear label or write down what you store there. otherwise, I think you will believe it after a few months.
I hope my suggestions can help you organize the kitchen in a good organization.
