Serving multiple purposes, the kitchen counter provides a functional workspace, enhances the aesthetic appeal of the room, and offers a storage area for frequently used kitchen items.

Countertops are often used to support small appliances like blenders, coffee makers, and microwaves, allowing easy access for quick use. Because of its proximity to sinks, stoves, and refrigerators, the countertop acts as a central station for most kitchen activities, streamlining workflows by reducing the need to move items over long distances. Keeping these appliances out in the open makes them convenient to use and saves space in cupboards. However, overcrowding on the countertop with too many items can limit workspace and make the kitchen feel chaotic!
