1. Tea please
I look forward to having my green tea with honey every morning. Creating a little tea bar like this is not only super cute but a great way to store and arrange all your tea necessities.

Using wooden risers is a great way to create a little extra surface space to store those kitchen essentials you use daily.

If your kitchen has enough space to house a kitchen cart, it’s the perfect place to set up the morning coffee operation!
You could also buy one of these little kitchen carts and use it as an island to create extra countertop space.
14. Store the necessities by the stove
I love this quaint little next-to-stove setup with the wicker tray and olive oil and vinegar glasses. It keeps everything nice and neat and easy to reach when it’s time to chef up!
15. Keep things simple
I find with countertop space, less is more. It’s so much easier to have clear countertops when you’re trying to cook food than to have sooo much decor to constantly have to work around. That’s why I absolutely love this simple kitchen counter layout!
16. Create an open shelf panty
This open shelving idea is super fun and functional! I love the idea of storing grains and pastas in clear glass containers like this for easy cooking adventures!
17. Decorate with things that make you smile
When I look at pictures of beautiful kitchen décor, it’s always the ones that have unique little quirks that I end up loving the most.
When you’re revamping or recreating aspects of your kitchen space, always remember to find some things that simply make you smile because It makes all the difference!
18. Extend your countertop storage with floating shelves
Let’s face it, sometimes our countertop real estate isn’t what we want it to be.
When you’re limited by small countertops, it’s wise to think of other ways to create storage space for all your kitchen utensils, decor and essentials. Here are some gorgeous floating shelves to hang above your kitchen countertops to create more space!
19. Keep the spices handy
I think this spice tower is super unique and handy for those who have their go-to spices. No more searching through the spice drawer or lazy Susan to find those essential spices…this cute idea keeps everything within arms reach.
20. Add some greenery
I feel like I say this in every blog post, but nothing warms up a room like leafy friends do. Plants just add such a peaceful and lively component to any space, and they belong in the kitchen too!
If real plants feel a little too high maintenance to you, you can always opt to get fake ones instead!
21. Make use of vertical space
Another creative way to make use of kitchen counter space is to go vertical! These nifty little corner shelves are the perfect solution for those of us who are limited on kitchen countertop real estate!
22. Hang your utensils
Hanging your utensils in baskets like this keeps the kitchen counter clear and keeps your tools nice and within reach!
23. Create a soap tray
This simple hand and dish soap tray is simple and beautiful!
24. Wire produce bins
I love the idea of keeping everyday produce in a place where it’s easily accessible. If you’re an avid cook and cook lots of veggies, this may be a unique touch to display in your kitchen!
25. Brighten your kitchen with white utensils
Another cute way to add a little personality to your kitchen is to get different colored cooking tools! I personally love these white ones, but you can go for whatever color suits your kitchen best.
26. Cookbook basket
Since I’ve gotten more into cooking, I find it handy to be able to keep my favorite cookbooks and binders within an arm’s reach. This rattan basket looks great on the kitchen countertop, without making things look too cluttered.
27. Make it antique
Antiques add so much character to a space, and they add a certain charm that nothing else can. If you’re ever poking around in a thrift shop or antique shop, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for some cute little boxes to display in your kitchen like this!
