"Kayla wasn't going to let her small kitchen, with virtually no counter space, get in the way of her ability to cook delicious meals. (In the video of three small-but-clever Brooklyn house tours above, she describes it as being the "smallest, most-used space" in her home.) The fact that the sink is almost directly next to the stove, with no other chopping areas available, made Kayla feel worried at first that she'd be eating out a lot - but one item saved the day."
"A drop-leaf table became the cleverest small-space solution in Kayla's kitchen. While it's unclear where she got hers, Wayfair is selling a similar option for less than $57. It's made from pine wood, holds up to 100 pounds (that's a lot of vegetables!), and comes with straightforward instructions for installation. What makes it especially valuable for small spaces is that it folds to just a few inches within seconds when lowered to flatten against the wall."
Kayla's 375-square-foot Brooklyn studio has a tiny kitchen with almost no counter space and a sink nearly adjacent to the stove. A fold-down drop-leaf table adds usable workspace by folding flat against the wall when not in use. A similar inexpensive pine table is available for under $57, supports up to 100 pounds, and includes simple installation instructions. The table provides a chopping and prep surface, and doubles as a desk, dining spot, or laundry-folding area. Kayla reports making her best meals in the space and feeling empowered by cooking extensively in a compact kitchen.
