"I started by adding this OMAR metal wire rack from IKEA next to my stove. It offers storage space as well as immediately available "counter" space to place my cutting board for when I need to do some quick chopping, tasting, and setting down any ingredients I'm keeping nearby as I cook. And as a chrome decor fan, it added an industrial-sheek metallic pop to my kitchen. (If you don't live near an IKEA, check out this similar rack from Amazon.)"
"Not only do I have my main kitchen prep space back, but it also serves several purposes depending on what I need. It works as a bar for my girls nights, kitchen counter area for storage or decor, a dinner spot with my partner, and even an appetizer station for dinner parties I throw (much like I would have used my island!)."
A move reduced available counter and prep space, prompting inventive solutions. An OMAR metal wire rack next to the stove provided storage and immediate counter space for cutting boards, tasting, and staging ingredients. A secondhand bar table with stools added extra counter and a dining area that doubles as multifunctional space for storage, socializing, and entertaining. The combined setup restored island-like capabilities while maximizing storage and prep within a smaller kitchen footprint and offering flexible uses for daily cooking and hosting.
