  • Tiny house kitchens can still have large appliances, expensive furnishings, full islands, and plenty of countertop space.
  • But some are so small they only have two-burner stoves, limited counter space, and no cabinets.
  • Tiny house owners often devise creative solutions to storage problems, such as tables that fold away or pantries hidden beneath staircases.

In a traditional American house, the kitchen is the heart of the home, and the same can be said for a tiny house.

Although tiny houses are smaller, they can still include large appliances, fancy furnishings, full islands, numerous cabinetry, and plenty of countertop space. On the other hand, there are some tiny houses that can only fit mini-fridges, two-burner stoves, and pull-down tables because of the lack of space.

Keep scrolling to see how homeowners make the most of their - often truly tiny - kitchen spaces.

The wood countertops and stainless steel appliances are an added bonus.

While the island only seats two, it adds more counter space for cooking and prep. The garage door opens to make the tiny house feel more spacious.

The kitchen countertop is made of four different varieties of trees that fell in a tornado.

The couple also calls their home "the world's most traveled tiny house," so they have unique design elements that were made to make travel easier.

Since their home is always on the road, they had to make sure nothing in their kitchen moved while driving down highways. The dish rack, for example, is designed to hold the plates in place.

Shelving is often used instead of upper cabinets because it makes the space feel more open.

Frank Olito/ Insider

Open shelving is perfect for storing plates, cups, and decorative knick knacks.

Although the kitchen is large, it only has a mini-fridge.

Frank Olito/ Insider

There's also a four-burner stove in this kitchen.

Amanda Burger and her two children live in this tiny house, where the kitchen countertops are made from marble.

To save space, Burger places her toaster oven on top of her stove top, and she uses shelves to make the space feel larger.

On the other wall, there is a staircase that leads to her children's bedroom. She also uses it as a pantry.

Frank Olito/ Insider

Her fridge is also stainless steel.

Burger's kitchen table pulls down from the wall when the family needs to eat.

When the table is not in use, the table is pulled up and is camouflaged as a painting on the wall.

In this rustic tiny house, the kitchen is on the smaller size.

Due to its size, the kitchen just has a sink, a two-burner stove, and a mini-fridge.

Frank Olito/ Insider

There is little counter space so the walls are used for additional storage for spices and knives.

To save space, the kitchen table is pulled out from the wall when in use.

Frank Olito/ Insider

The table is all wood to match the rest of the tiny house.

Though her kitchen is on the smaller side, there is still plenty of counter space for all of her appliances.

Frank Olito/ Insider

Her countertops are also made of wood, which is common for tiny homes.

The refrigerator pulls out from a drawer to help save floor space aboard the school bus.

Frank Olito/ Insider

The drawer's knob is actually a button that locks and keeps it in place as Gailloux drives.
