What is considered a kitchenette?
A kitchenette is a smaller, more compact kitchen space. This area contains essentials for storing and preparing food, but does not have all the bells and whistles of a full kitchen. A traditional kitchen has large cabinets, counter space and appliances, while in a kitchenette these components are limited. With this style of cooking, you'll see fewer cabinets, limited counter space, and more compact and versatile appliances.
Kitchens are also called mini kitchens because they pursue the same goals as traditional kitchens, but achieve them in a different way. Kitchenettes are all about space, without sacrificing style.
