What makes a kitchen appliance good for a small kitchen

A good compact appliance has a small footprint, a tidy cable, and can handle more than one cooking job. Stackable or easy to store designs help you keep worktops clear.

How can I stop small appliances taking over my worktops

Be strict about what earns a permanent spot. Store occasional gadgets in cupboards and give priority to the items you use most days. Wall shelves, pan rails and hooks can free up space too.
