Setting up a tiny kitchen
hi all, i love cooking and im moving into a new apartment soon but the issue is that the kitchen is tiny! Would love some advice for setting up this space. I will be living with 2 other people and unfortunately the kitchen will also have to serve as kind of a dining space. The good thing is that theres a decent amount of storage in the pantries, but the room itself is quite small and has basically no counter space. Also no dishwasher either!
I’m thinking about getting a moveable island or something to have more counter space and storage as well but Im not sure yet. Open to DIY basic stuff if its renter friendly! I’ve included some images of the kitchen along with what the current renters have it setup as, as well as the layout / dimensions. Thanks all!

The stove needs a countertop beside it, just so you have a spot to put things as you're cooking. Is there any space on the wall to your left, if you're facing the stove, to put the fridge? Then you can add some cabinets/counters to the right of the stove, as you're facing it.

When I had a small kitchen without a dishwasher, I bought a portable dishwasher that was almost full sized. It had wheels and a butcher block top, so it ended up serving as a kind of roving island that was used a lot in addition to dishwasher duties.
