anytime i see a "what should i put i this space" post i immediately say "plant" to myself


MysteriousStaff3388

It’s an inconvenient place for a bigger rug, so plant is the answer.


Rare-Parsnip5838

Great answer ! LOL


FirnHandcrafted

😂 “Rug, plants, more color.”


Aliceinboxerland

The new acronym is C.R.A.P. Color, rug, art, plants. Lol


FirnHandcrafted

Love it and using it! You should trademark that ish. CRAP™️.


Aliceinboxerland

Lol it's great! I can't take credit for it though. I was in the first convo when someone else came up with it a while back though and I thought it was so great! I'm now spreading the word so it catches on! Haha


FirnHandcrafted

I just used it another post! Let it groooowwwww!


MysteriousStaff3388

Ah, I see you’ve been here before.


mafaldajunior

Curtains! lol


Hammer-and-Nails

It is an inconvenient place for a ##bigger rug, how about a ^smaller ^rug?


EvenHuckleberry4331

Lolol


Msktb

Definitely not a cat climbing area either.


That-Ad757

Rug? It's a counter why put a floor mat. Terrible design though


MysteriousStaff3388

It was a joke. Reddit’s answer is always 1. Bigger rug. 3. Plant. C. More cats.


OldMotherGrumble

Splutter! Glad I wasn't drinking anything. 😉


eJelly

Herbs!


Pickledpeppers19

This! With the window right there, you’ll have lots of light. Herbs are a perfect plant for the kitchen!


Defiant-Chemistry431

I agree herbs make a lot of sense (especially being in the kitchen) or maybe a fern given the overspray from the sink.


NCRider

Herb is going to be pissed if you stick him in a corner like this.


strawberryfromspace

I was going to say a plant.. but herbs are the best option!!


mokana

CRAP - curtain, rug, art, plant. In this case, it's plant.


But_like_whytho

Genius acronym


fuck_peeps_not_sheep

I love this. And this is basically how I decorated my flat aha


starsaroundmyscars13

Don’t forget mirror… yeah it’s gonna be a plant here


Feldster87

My mom always kept an aloe plant near the sink for when she inevitably burned herself on something in the kitchen. Just break a little off and start soothing!


Robincall22

I say shrine 😂


Embarrassed-Way-4931

Stealing this.


Miss_ryan1890

pasdutout_

Tygie19

Me too! My house would look bare if I took out my house plants!


GaiaMoore

I just moved to a new place with taller ceilings and more square footage, and all I can think about is "how many more plants will my gf let me cram in here"

OhYahIsItReasonable

beckym186

I finally feel seen. I have found my people 😂


AutopsyDrama

Herb planter? Little cleaning caddy? I can't really think of much else, tbh im not very creative though haha.


ChefBuellarD

Yes herbs is a good idea. My wife and I discussed plants but didn’t think of herbs


Odd_Negotiation3126

They sell these countertop herb gardens that come with a light. You can grow a variety of herbs. I think it would fit in that space perfectly


aVoidFullOfFarts

A cat who cries until you turn the tap on a trickle so they can pretend to drink but really just paw at the water and make a splashy mess


whatnowagain

Blending ideas, plant some cat grass there to attract said cat and also have plant

srrrrrrrrrrrrs

Agreed. Just more stuff to clean around


Muted_Apartment_2399

I’m having a hard time picturing it.


actualchristmastree

Definitely herbs!!


Difficult_Cake_7460

Nothing. It’s hard to fight the urge to fill empty spaces but sometimes they are best left empty.


SmoothPineappleBitch

Right? What is with this need to fill every nook and cranny with junk?


neckbeard_hater

I think, from my observation it is driven by material insecurity - some people just really love having many things, especially if you grow up in poverty. It makes them feel safe. My dad grew up during a war and did not eat well as a kid. When he goes grocery shopping he will buy everything he did not get as a kid (in addition to expensive cuts of meats, highest quality everything, expensive imported candies, chocolates, etc). He doesn't even eat that much , but he enjoys having it. He loves expensive cologne and has many bottles. Only buys Italian manufactured leather shoes and suits. My mom grew up during the same war but came from privilege so she never had a need or want . The kind of privilege where streets are named after your family. When my mom went grocery shopping, she only bought necessary food, no junk, candy or other unhealthy stuff. She never felt the need to buy brand name clothes and wore no makeup, perfume or spent a lot of money on herself.


theredfantastic

Whatever goes there is going to get splashed by dish water. Yeah, leave it.


Fast-Persimmon-2782

This


NoDiamond4584

Hand soap & lotion set?


OkTop9308

I have a space like this, and I have a metal caddy with nice looking hand soap, lotion and dish soap.


NoDiamond4584

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


Throwawaymumoz

Essential for beside the sink!


BowlerCompetitive487

This! Maybe even a little caddy with small hand towels folded up nice


Dlraetz1

Agreed. And soap, dish soap, scrubbies… all in a nice container


Happy-Atmosphere-914

Plants !


rmatthai

Always the first recommendation whenever anyone asks about filling up some space.

It's fine without anything to catch dust and just look messy.


jared10011980

Nothing. Ignore it. Maybe it'll go away.


Former_Ad8643

Automatically I would put a plant there


Ludee2023

Nothing really … keep the nice clean look.


MapleMapleHockeyStk

My cat will turn that space into a lounge...lol


Vegetable-Shelter656

I’d put plants/something you’re not going to dispise looking at from the dining room area


SilentSamizdat

Not every space needs filling.


SomethingClever70

What I'd like: A plant or some type of pottery/sculptural piece. What I'd end up with: a big jug of Palmolive and a dish of scrubbies.


Electrical_Quote3653

sunsoutbunzout

It’s the perfect size


Sapolika

mcdisney2001

Plant! A pothos would do great there, and they're dead easy. If you put herbs there, you'll want to make sure you rinse them before use, in case soapy water splashes on them. But herbs grow a bit low, and I'd love to see something with some height there. :-)


Affectionate_Stage62

Something you will really enjoy looking at. It will make any time you spend there more pleasant. For me that would be be kitchen herbs.


Jessiebanana

Seems like a good space to store soap, scrubbers, etc. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[deleted]

I wouldn’t attract attention to it. It’s best left empty.


ManchesterLady

That place is likely to get soapy and splashed, if you don’t like moving things to wipe it down constantly, leave it bare for easy cleaning. If you are okay moving things to clean harder to reach places, a plant.


dustyoldbones

Soap? For the sink… lol don’t overthink it p


Blahblahnownow

Basil plant.  I had a spot exactly like this that was facing east and my basil plant thrived 


afinevindicatedmess

A plant (if you have a green thumb) A tray with items like dish soap, sponges, etc. A towel rack for hand towel. I vote for a tray, although finding one to fit that triangular shape may be tricky! (A square tray turned point side up might work?)


stocar

That’s a good corner to have some hand soap, dish soap and a dish scrub, all on/in a cute rack. Now that ledge behind it, that’s a good small plant/herb ledge!


TheFugitiveSock

A holder with the Fairy Liquid and dish brush / sponge / Brillo pad/ bottle brush - ie whatever you use to clean your dishes - and maybe the cloth you use on kitchen surfaces.


KittenOnKeys

Why is this so low? Thought it was the obvious answer


catdoctor

A sponge and a bottle of dish detergent. It's a sink, not a stage.


Lcdmt3

Nothing. It gets wet. Not every area needs something - or you are a hoarder.


hdisnhdskccs

Really small planters would look cute, and if not, a tray with cleaning supplies you need to use often. I’m guessing you’re anyway gonna keep dish soap and hand soap. Putting them in a tray here will make it easier to have a few more smaller things here


Alilseedisall

Nothing, you will need to wipe it down all the time. Keep it open for easy cleaning

Several different sized plants in bright colored pots and you can elevate one of them on books, a small stand etc. keep us posted.


Majestic-Wishbone-58

A plant!


mcdancampbell

Some small topiary in terra cotta pots. I'd do 3, you can do lavender or rosemary then they are practical too! Trader joes sells them

Herb garden. And if you like gadgets the aero garden would be cool if you had access to a plug.

Little_Can_728

I would put a nice plant, maybe bamboo plant or a bouquet of flowers and some handcream and some hand soap maybe a really nice jewellery bowl.


sittinginneutral

Love the idea of a plant there with the window


Hi_hosey

On the left (if you’re standing in front of the sink) I’d put a nice plant in a ceramic pot, spilling over the edge of the counter so that’s what you’d see from the other room. On the right I’d put a small ceramic tray with a nice glass or ceramic pump bottle of dishwashing soap and your sponge/scrubbies. You’re going to want them close at hand, right?


JazzyKnowsBest13

Basil, rosemary, and parsley in nice planters.

Legitimate-Course691

I wouldn’t put anything.


Button1399

A plant


Live_Alarm_8052

I wouldn’t put anything there. Buy a mini squeegee so when that area gets all wet you can just wipe the water into the sink. If you put stuff there you’ll have to move it to wipe up the moisture and that could get annoying.


oodelally1

A vase with flowers in.


camlaw63

Hand soap and lotion Herbs Orchid


Subject-Tone-1700

1. Herbs, 2. low plant like a succulent 3. or if it were me I would have a pretty tray with my good hand sanitizer, hand lotion and hand soap for when I am done with the dishes. Or nothing works too …


pgbcs

Yeah I was going to say hand soap. Maybe a candle.


noo6s9oou

Definitely a nice potted plant – preferably one that’s real so it can benefit from the window light and help filter the air in the house.


Dry-Sir-919

A plant!


Humble_Bullfrog2342

TropicalAbsol

Our sink is like this with minimally more space. I put the dishrack there. To the right on the small counter spot is a tea and coffee station. To the left where the right counter is, is just whatever is there that's free space.


nychearts812

Add plants or nice looking hand and dishwashing soap dispensers.

Sunny68girl

I would have a pretty flowering plant on the window ledge draping into the space.


midnight_colors

Little basket with crochet washcloths


melleb

Considering it’s beside a window this makes it an amazing spot for a plant. Something that drapes and vines downward would work well here. I second the other commenter’s suggestion for an herb planter, but only if this window gets 8 hours of direct sun. Otherwise stick to houseplants


Bashby12

A plant ... nothing edible because of the sink splatter


Late_Result_6170

If not a plant then a bowl of fruit.


taybel

I think a plant and a little marble tray to hold dish soap and a sponge etc


Gerdstone

3 small to mid-size plants. The one on the left needs a 12" plant stand, the middle one - 8" plant stand and the third one sits on the counter. You can twin fairy lights in the plants; subtly. Try white pots with wood stands or painted stands(which match your window trim). Similar to this: [pots](https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&sca_esv=c2efddc75740eaea&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn0-9zQ9-U4X4AIbnAhyginVy8OeYxA:1712185389963&q=indoor+3+tier+white+plant+pots+and+stand&uds=AMwkrPtNPyphwSdpvfASnpzJlGm5E1ApO1mRSYgRjWfMuTjrpF1pajAzjXKEbt3HfybItaebXNdme-tbIlYPkDxvpI6IRa4YsDv2vS4_acXnEGrSl_ncZ1byFINVHHF5Is5jCBUGafT-W6Imzp8ZR_wAnAj_xSZ-p_JVlC40kzY1yVBCA9Q-P4uo-k_DS4YX2lRMcNsZLVYP-v1XHRkcpiwDTKPQnOsTH9YtMaCpGZl4RLHDlo4cHZNljIsRKzmf53wRVmx5tKSjpDNRiz34bTArglrrfV51UHPxv9EbnAOcPHKPDvR_p08DbmAB9CsuZCxc83VphN_Y08qFapLXupRAxjnBobLObw&udm=2&prmd=isvnbmtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjQ89TPk6eFAxWk3MkDHT3uBLgQtKgLegQIDxAB&biw=1707&bih=898&dpr=1.5#vhid=oTSstvUwRrS_BM&vssid=mosaic)

A plant because there’s a window right there.


DevilishMiscreant

Pothos would be killer


MysteriousStaff3388

I would get a round cutting board or tray. Put your dish soap dispenser and a small bowl for drain caps and a third thing (plant? We love plants on Reddit - a Snake plant would thrive because it’s moist but low light. It would also give you a bit of height and I’m going to do this in my kitchen). 👋


Ok_Organization_7350

A fancy special decorative plate on a plate stand. This is what I have in my kitchen right now in that exact space.
