This combination non-slip mat and movable dividers from DrawerDecor helps solve the problem while adding a kick of color, too. Now admittedly I'm a bit of a neatnik in the kitchen, so of course I love nothing better than having my utensils all laying out in a drawer.
So you have a small kitchen. A tiny one. What are your options? You could spend hours coveting the cavernous kitchens profiled in Architectural Digest. You could whine and complain. Or you could rethink your space.
