When we bought our house (a couple of decades ago) my wife had only one requirement—a huge kitchen with tons of storage.
I got to choose from a subset of those houses.
So—we live way out in the boonies with lots of land and privacy in an unremarkable modest house—but with a huge kitchen with tons of storage!
...tons of storage!

Moved from one of those to 1000+ sq feet. Crockpot/thermal pot/dehydrator fit under a side table. Convection oven/air fryer is on the end of the large table used for prep and everything else. Meat slicer fits on the top shelf over the cupboards. Kitchen Aid has a place in a closet repurposed as a storage pantry. Large utensils/knives in a stoneware crock. ONE drawer for tools & one for eating utensils. Strainers in small stoneware crock tucked beside microwave and colander stacked with pots/bowls in lower cupboard. Hand mixer in cupboard. Microwave on side counter, ditto food processor. Blender/toaster on one side of sink counter, coffee maker on other. Cutting boards fit against wall on sink counter. Kitchen is about 12’ x 15’, maybe a tad larger. Hard at first, now I can manage ok.
