I don't have a very spacious kitchen, I'd say it's average.

I have counterspace to spare because I don't clutter it up with
dreck. There's no reason for all those little jars, that are
obviously filled with things that may only get used very occasionally,
if ever. Those are all things that belong in a carton and set out of
the way, like under a bed.... any that don't get used within the year
need to be dumped in the trash, unopened.
