Caroline and Steffan Feiffers attic apartment in a 1737 townhouse in Copenhagenmade waves when it hit the internet. The couple renovated the space themselves, and made the most of the corner allotted for a kitchen. Their solution? Integrated appliances, storage alcoves, and instead of a counter-cluttering dish rack and knife block, wall-mounted alternatives. Heres a look at their sources.
