When Your Kitchen Counter Is 18 Inches Deep, Where Do You Keep Your Favorite Baking Tools?

Featured Replies

Posted

I recently moved into a new apartment with a kitchen counter that's barely 18 inches deep. It’s a dream in terms of natural light and layout, but man, the counter space feels like a baking nightmare. I’ve got my stand mixer, rolling pin, pastry brushes, and all my essential baking tools, but there’s barely enough room to roll out dough and prep without everything feeling cramped. I tried hanging some tools on a magnetic strip and using a tiered shelf, but the mixer still hogs most of the space. I’m thinking about getting a custom rolling board that fits over the sink or maybe a fold-out counter extension. The goal is to keep my tools accessible but free up surface area for mixing and decorating. Has anyone dealt with really shallow counters while baking? What clever storage or workspace hacks worked for you? Would a sink cover/board feel awkward to work on, or is it worth trying? Appreciate any creative ideas before I start drilling holes or buying more gadgets!
