However, for those with limited space, such as in small kitchens, finding the right microwave can be a challenge. In this article, we will explore some creative and practical small kitchen microwave ideas that maximize functionality without compromising on style or convenience.
Microwave Placement
When dealing with a small kitchen, it’s important to consider the placement of the microwave to maximize space utilization. Here are a few placement ideas:
Countertop: Placing the microwave on the countertop is a popular option for small kitchens. Ensure it is easily accessible and doesn’t obstruct other essential appliances.

When selecting a microwave for a small kitchen, opt for compact models that offer space-saving features. Consider the following:
Small Size: Look for microwaves with smaller dimensions without compromising functionality. Compact microwaves are designed to fit perfectly into small spaces.

“Finally, alone with my girl,” Taehyung runs a hand up my sock clad let, stopping at the bottom of my skirt. “And she is overly cute in her outfit,” he tenderly smiles.
I smile back, “It is nice to be back with you, Tae. Lying in a hotel bed after a crazy day. Just catching up on the months we have been apart.”
“Thank you for surprising me today. It really cheered me up. It’s been hard for me these last few months. I’ve needed you, and all I could get was a Skype call. Now, you are never leaving my side again.”
“I never want to leave you again,” I scoot closer to him, placing a hand on his chest. “I have never had such a low dip in my mental health than the first few months we were way. I can’t go through that again,” I feel a few tears run down my cheeks.
Taehyung pulls his hand off my thigh and brings it up to wipe the tears off my face. “Let’s talk about something else so you don’t cry.”
I chuckle, “Well, I better warn you about something then.”
“What’s that?” He runs his hand over my hair. “Is your hair shorter?”
“Just a tad,” I bring my hand away from his chest. “Now, for my warning. I’m going to start my period soon, so I might be a little off for a few days.”
“Aw, my princess is going to be in pain. I’ll take care of you, and get you everything you need. Then once it has passed,” he smirks, sending a wink my way.
“No, we will not,” I roll my eyes. “Hormones always running through you.”
“Fine,” he pouts. “Hopefully we can go shopping before it hits. I didn’t buy any painkillers or pads.”
“I have new painkillers now. They do a much better job, but I can pick out my favorite pads.”
Taehyung giggles, “Sorry, this isn’t funny.”
I giggle with him. “It’s strange, but I love that we can talk so openly about it. Oh, also, when we go shopping, I want to get sandals like you have.”
“Really?” He smiles that boxy grin. “You have really cute toes like me, so they will be perfect on you. They aren’t traveling shoes, really, but that’s okay.”
“We can get so many couple items, and when we travel we can match.”
“Yes. We have to do that. No couple will be cuter than us.”
“Can I ask you a cute favor then?”
“If it is cute and coming from you, ask away.”
I lower my head, avoiding my boyfriend’s gaze. “So, you know I can’t read or write Korean. I’ve been wondering if you could teach me.” I shake my head, “Sorry if you think that’s stupid and you don’t want to. I know we both will be super busy, so I will understand if you say no.”
“Oh my god,” Taehyung sounds so giddy. “Yes, of course I will teach you,” he tickles my sides so I will look up at him. “Plane rides, train rides, car rides, and whenever else we have free time, I will teach you. When we go shopping, we can buy books and such to help with it.”
I try my best boxy smile, “Thank you, Tae. I look forward to you being my teacher.”
“Practice for when I have to teach our kids.”
“If you can teach me, you will be able to teach them.”
“Did you try to do my boxy smile a little bit ago.”
“Maybe,” I feel my cheeks heat up.
“You are so cute, jagi,” he taps my nose. “Do it more. I love it, and I have only seen it once.”
I chuckle, “You just saw it. How do you love it already?”
“I love everything about you, so I love it. Even if that was the first time I have seen it.”
“That’s sweet.”
“I’m beyond excited for you to see our apartment. Yoongi was actually the one who found it, since it is in the same complex.”
“Really?” I can tell my face has lit up in happiness. “Yoongi-oppa will be close by. I bet he wanted that. Our dogs will be friends!” I burst into giggles.
“They will be,” Taehyung chuckles along with me.
“Is our apartment big? Fancy? I want to know.”
“You will see it very soon. It is not that big, but still a nice size. In a nice part of the city. Allows pets, of course. Big bedroom, lovely kitchen. You will love it.”
I tenderly smile, my hand landing on his chest again. “I’m sure I will. I would live with you anywhere.”
“Do you think we should take a nap so we will be awake for the train ride home?”
“One last question, and I’m sorry if it lowers the mood.”
“What is it?” Taehyung is concerned.
“How is your grandma?” I look him dead in the eye. “I want to see her before we get busy.”
“She’s been better,” Taehyung pulls me closer to him, not breaking eye contact with me. “I don’t know what is going to happen. I don know you’ll get to see her soon. Next week, actually, before we leave for concerts. It’s one of my cousin’s birthday. You get to meet my extended family.” He somberly smiles.
“Like, a lot of people at one time?” I take a deep breath. “Sounds like so much fun.”
“I’ll be right by your side the whole time. No need to stress. You can even hang with my sister. All my cousins are really young too, so anything you do will impress them.”
“I do like kids,” I muse.
“Good,” he kisses my nose. “I want a lot.”
I lightly slap his chest. “What has gotten into you? You are being so forward.”
“Well, I know you are the one for me, so I just want to tell you while we are alone. Do you not want kids?”
“No, that’s not it,” I sigh. “I want kids so I can treat them the way that I have always dreamed about. I will spoil them. It’s the fact of having kids that is going to be difficult.”
“Why?” Taehyung is genuinely curious.
“No,” I close my eyes. “I don’t want to talk about it right now.”
Taehyung places his hand gently on my cheek. “I’m sorry princess. We don’t have to talk about it right now.”
I relax into his touch, opening my eyes. “Thank you.”
“What do you want to do now? I’d love a nap.”
“I think you have some promises you told me other the phone that you need to fulfill.”
He smirks, “I do. We’ve been alone for a while now. I’m sorry that I have neglected you. Let me fix that,” he pushes me onto my back, hovering over me in seconds. “I love you.”
“I love you, Tae,” I lovingly smile. “Here is to us.”
“To us,” he connects our lips to seal the deal.
********
“This is our apartment,” Taehyung pull keys out of his pocket. “Today we will spend time unpacking, and then go shopping.”
“Open the door, please,” I bounce on my toes. “I need to see the inside of our home.”
He chuckles, “Okay, okay. I’m opening the door.” He quickly slips the key into the lock; the sound of it unlocking the greats sound I’ve heard all day.
The front door swings open, and the two of us enter into a small front room area. There’s a small table off to the side against the wall, a bowl on top.
“Look, this is where we put our keys,” Taehyung drops the apartment key into the bowl.
“Is this a closet?” I walk over to a door a few feet from the front.
“It is. Open it up,” he shuts the front door.
I open the closet door, smiling at the sight before me. On the ground is a combination of Taehyung and mines shoes, and hung up on the racks are our coats.
“Like it?” Taehyung wraps his arms around my middle from behind. “We have a good collection of shoes.” He kisses my cheek.
“I’m so excited to see the rest of this place,” I slip my shoes off and slide them into the closet. “I love this. I could look at this for hours.”
Taehyung slips his shoes off, picking me up to slide his shoes into the closet. “I hope you don’t mind me opening all your boxes to locate certain items.”
“That is completely okay. I kind of wanted you to get some things out.”
“Then let’s head deeper inside,” he gives me a squeeze, but does no place me back on the ground.
“Carry me into the house,” I giggle, closing the closet door.
Taehyung turns right, takes a few more steps, turns left, and takes multiple steps to enter the open living room and kitchen area. The kitchen is directly in front of us. Against the wall to the left is most of the countertops and all the cabinets. A stove-oven combo with a microwave above it is in the middle of the counters, and a fridge is to the right of it separated by some counter. I spot a toaster, Keurig coffee maker, and a blender on the counter. A couple feet separate an island from that part of the kitchen. From my spot, the right side of the island is a bar with two stools, while the left has a sink and dishwasher.
“Next to the fridge is a panty,” Taehyung walks over to the island. “It has some appliances that I didn’t think would look good on the counters, but if you want to swap things out, go for it. Of course, food is in there, and a bag of dog food.”
“Ahead of the game. Such a man,” I swing my feet a little bit.
“I am older, so I have to act like it sometimes. Doing this was one of those times.” He turns right to face the living room.
“Where are the dog food bowls?”
“On the other side of the island. That door leads to a small balcony with a table and chairs.”
I look over at the door on the wall now to the left of us. “Just what I needed.”
“Is the living room okay?”
I turn my focus to the living room. A ‘L’ couch is against the walls farthest from us, and a square coffee table is in the middle. There are end tables with lamps on both ends of the couch. On the same wall I can reach out and touch to the right of me is a flat screen TV with a few boxes nearby. Everything fits snuggly in the open area.
“What’s in the boxes?” I wiggle in Taehyung’s grasp.
“Video games of yours, and books,” Taehyung answers, setting me down. “I didn’t have time to set them up. The video game consoles, that is. The table the TV is on can only hold so much, as well. We need a bookshelf,” he rests his chin on top of my head. “We can buy one today.”
“It is lovely,” I duck so Taehyung’s chin is off my head, and then turn to face him. “You did a good job, Tae. Everyone has been perfect for me.”
“Thank god,” he gives me a chaste kiss. “Let’s move on to our bedroom.” He grabs my hand, pulling me through the living room and to a door near the TV. “Ladies first,” he pinches my sides.
I giggle, “Such a dork.”
“The king.”
I push open the bedroom door, taking a moment before stepping into the room. “The bed is huge!”
“So you like it?” Taehyung laughs.
I run and jump onto the king sized bed. “Love it!” I roll around a few times before sitting up.
Taehyung has his boxy smile on his face, a look of pure love in his eyes. “My heart is beating so fast because you are too cute.”
My cheeks are hot in seconds. “Lots of boxes in here. I hope we have enough room.”
The bedroom isn’t anything fancy. Two end tables are placed with one on either side of the head of the bed. One medium sized window shines light into the room. This whole apartment actually has a good amount of windows to have natural light.
The bed dipping as Taehyung climbs onto it brings me make to reality.
“The tour isn’t over, princess,” Taehyung has crawled right up to me.
“What’s left?” I lean forward to touch my nose to his.
“Walk in closet and bathroom,” he moves his head to kiss my nose.
I grab each of his ears between my thumb and forefingers. “Hurry up with it then. I want to mess with your ears.”
“My big cute ears,” he tickles my sides, causing me to squirm away from him.
“They are just a tad big, but I love them all the same,” I slide off the bed. Now on the left side of the room, I notice two doors.
“That door right in front of you is to the bathroom,” Taehyung gets out of our bed. “The other is to the walk-in closet. It is just a square full of our clothes. Nothing special, yet, I guess.”
I turn the doorknob to the door right in front of me, pushing it open to see a nice bathroom on the other side. To my right is two sinks and then the toilet. On the far end of the room is a shower, and a tub to my left.
“The washer and dryer is back near the front door,” Taehyung comes up behind me. “After the first right, if you turn right again, there’s a door there. The washer and dryer sit inside.”
“Perfect. This is perfect,” I turn around to wrap my arms around my boyfriend. “Thank you so much for all of this.”
“You’re welcome, jagi,” he wraps his arms around me. “How about we unpack the stuff we have here. I know Nari will be bringing more stuff over soon. Then we can go shopping. I really want to drive you around.”
I smile, “Sounds like a wonderful idea. Let’s get to it.”
********
“This is so nice,” I smile, sliding into the booth after Taehyung. “All of us together again, eating amazing Korean food.”
“It’s good to have you back,” Seokjin pulls Nari closer to him. “Both of you girls. Those ten months you were gone were weird.”
“That’s an understatement,” Yoongi ruffles my hair. “It was shit, and that is the truth.”
I giggle, “You’ll never have to worry about us leaving ever again. We are here to stay. I don’t want to feel like my heart has broken ever again.”
“That sounds terrible,” Jimin nudges my foot with his. “Is your heart better now?”
“Of course it is, she’s with us now,” Jungkook smiles at me.
“Kookie is right,” I lean into Taehyung. “The second the plane touched down in Korea, I felt so much better. Like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.”
“I could tell how bad you were in at the beginning of the school year,” Nari says. “You put on a mask for the Skype dates we had, but I could see through it all. My poor hurting cousin.”
“As the summer came closer, her emotions made a turn for the better,” Emily adds. “It was so uplifting to watch it happen.”
“Did you keep your sadness to yourself?” Namjoon asks. “I never heard anything about it.”
“Mostly,” I shrug. “I didn’t want to worry you guys. I’m a big girl, and I had Emily. Yoongi-oppa heard about it, and I cried to Tae. It slipped out to everyone; I think.”
“Well kid, you have to tell us all about how you are feeling from now on,” Hoseok grins at me. “Can you do that? We want to help you no matter what.”
“For sure,” I nod. “I’ll be as open as I feel necessary.”
Our waitress steps over, and Seokjin is quick to order what we need. That motherly instinct coming through, but I bet he would order anyways because he’s the oldest. Either way, it makes me feel warm inside.
“So, Amber, you have something you would like to tell the boys, correct?” Nari looks over at me.
“What’s on your mind, little one?” Yoongi pokes my side.
I glance over at Yoongi, “It’s nothing big, I just think you guys should know.”
“You have a tattoo,” Jimin blurts out.
“She hates needles, so no,” Taehyung wraps his arm around my waist.
“So that’s a no on the ears being pierced,” Namjoon chuckles.
“Yeah, hell no to that ever,” I chuckle. “This is nothing like that.”
“So spill already,” Jungkook bounces in his spot.
“I am,” I stick my tongue out at the maknae for a few seconds. “So, my knowledge of certain topic has been expanded. With it, I understand myself even better. I, um,” I nervously giggle. “Screw it. I am pansexual. There, I said it.”
“Pan…sexual?” Taehyung looks down at me.
“Pan, sex, wait, you have sex with pans?” Hoseok shockingly asks.
I laugh, “Not going to lie, that is an overused joke, but coming from you Hobi, I loved it.”
Hoseok goofily smiles, “So I was wrong?”
“Very,” I sit up. “Emily, if you would please explain.”
“Gladly,” Emily smiles before diving into the explanation she gave Nari. Halfway through our waitress comes back with our food and drinks, but other than that, Emily is uninterrupted.
“That changes nothing,” Yoongi grabs my hand. “We still love you. You are still the Amber that writes poems to let your feelings out.”
“You are still the Amber who is terrible at first-person shooters,” Jungkook smiles.
“You are still a cutie who loves plushies,” Jimin giggles, lifting his shoulders up as he does.
“Still the Amber who reads as much as she can,” Hoseok smiles. “A cute nerd with her cute glasses.”
I absentmindedly mess with my glasses.
Taehyung tilts my head up with a few fingers under my chin, so I am looking into his eyes. “You are still the girl I fell in love with, and want to spend the rest of my life with. I love you for all you are, and all you aren’t.”
I blink back the tears, “I love you, Tae. I love all of you guys and girls.”
A quick kiss is pushed to my lips before Taehyung and I face back to the group.
“Cutest couple ever, no debate,” Emily giggles.
“Stop,” I whine. “Emily is such a tease now because she thinks I had a crush on her at some point, and I refuse to play into her game.”
“Did you?” Namjoon seriously asks.
“No,” I pick up my chopsticks. “I never did. Not my type,” I smirk.
“Not Taehyung enough,” Yoongi gives my hand a squeeze before letting it go.
I chuckle, “That’s it.”
“So, does Emily have something she needs to tell us?” Seokjin shoves some food into his mouth.
“What makes you asks that?” Nari ruffles Seokjin’s hair, but ends up fixing it so it looks nice.
“Every time Amber has a big thing to say, so do the rest of you,” Hoseok takes a sip of his drink.
“I do have something to tell you all,” Emily accepts the food Namjoon is holding in front of her face.
“You girls plan that,” Jimin points at Emily and then me. “That’s almost too cute.”
“We do plan it,” I smile as I open my mouth for the meat Taehyung has held in front of my face. “This is so much better than that Korean place our classmates took us to.”
“Story?” Jungkook looks at me with puppy-dog eyes.
“Let Emily tell us her news first, Kookie,” Yoongi takes a small bit of the food on his chopsticks, and then shoves the rest in my mouth.
“Thanks Yoongi,” Emily smiles. “Well, it’s not as deep as Amber’s news, but it does concern traveling and such for me.”
“Are you pregnant?” Hoseok looks at Emily with wide eyes.
Jimin, Taehyung, Namjoon, and I burst out into laughter.
“Oh, goodness no,” Emily shakes her head. “That is not the reason why I won’t be traveling with you boys as much.”
“What’s up?” Seokjin calms the laughing down.
“I got a job,” Emily smiles. “I’ll be working with Nari, kind of like her assistant.”
The congratulations go around as Emily’s cheeks redden. She’s kept this hidden even from me.
“I’ll be going to KCON, but everything else I have to be back here,” Emily twirls her chopsticks. When I’m gone, you all have to take good care of Amber for me.”
“We will,” Taehyung squeezes my thigh. “She will never be out of our sight. I can promise that. Well, besides when we are on stage.”
“I can promise that as well,” Yoongi ruffles my hair.
“I’ll miss you,” I pout for a second. “But, these seven boys will make up for it.”
“How about you tell the story of the Korean restaurant,” Emily encouragingly smiles.
“Oh yeah,” I giggle as Taehyung feeds me once again.
“Some of your classmates took you out for a meal at a local Korean place,” Jimin recaps what I’ve already given away.
“Yes,” I nod. “They wanted to cheer us up. We were homesick, and I agreed to go because I thought it would help.”
“It didn’t,” Jungkook sighs, knowing where this is going.
“Not one bit. The food was more American than Korean. Like how Chinese food is over there. No one spoke fluent Korean either, besides the owner. It made me so sad.”
“The owner liked talking with us, though,” Emily says. “He was a very nice man. I would have gone back there just for him.”
“Overall, I didn’t have a good time, but I would never tell my classmates that. I ended up in a bigger hole than I had going in. It had me longing to be here even more.”
“Well, let’s eat this fantastic food, that isn’t American at all,” Yoongi pokes my side. “And make you as happy as can be.”
