There are many smaller sized fridges that you can buy and still have lots of place around. You might rebel at the idea of having smaller fridge but don't forget that you need to make do with what you have right now and if this means working with a smaller fridge to make everything fit in the room, so be it.
Many homes nowadays have an extremely small kitchen. My grandmother would be appalled to see how tiny my kitchen is compared to what she used to have in her home.

Unfortunately by adding new items in our food preparing area we actually make it not only look but also become much smaller. What about making a small place look bigger? Try out these small kitchen design ideas to get your started.
Also enhancing the lighting in the room will make it look bigger than it is. There are so many kitchen around that have no windows in them, making them look dark, dull and smaller than they are.

Making your small cooking place bigger might also mean a bit of design altering. If you have a door that really blocks off the entrance to the room, what you can do is take it out so you have more space in and out of the place. Also try to use one of the smaller trashcans instead of buying the larger ones and put them in the lower cabinet instead of keeping it outside where are always in danger of bumping in it.
