Does anyone have any space saving tips for me for a tiny kitchen?

I bought some rails and hooks from Ikea to hang my cooking spoons. But I need some more tips.

    What sort of rails? I would hang them all on a pegboardif you have the room to mount one.

    I have an extremely small kitchen that I love and is highly functional. First off, reduce your cookware and utensils. I have a small non-stick skillet, iron skillet and sauce pan. That's it. No need for 12 different pots, pans and skillets. Find a lid that will work for all three pans. Get only a few knives, paring, serrated and chef or santoku. Possibly a couple of steak knives and that's it. Keep only four plates, bowls and glasses. Each person should have one favorite coffee mug and maybe an extra for company. Then finally, get a roll up dish drainer that sits on top of your sink. You will find that you can cook almost anything with this small collection of kitchen gadgets. I also keep a nice, but small cutting board and only a small handful of my favorite stir spoons, spatulas, etc. If you are unsure of paring down this far, try it for a couple of weeks and pack everything else away in a box. See how it goes. Oh, I also love my Pyrex storage containers that double as bakeware. The idea is everything is multipurpose so you need fewer items in your cupboards.
