She said these hacks will help maximise the space you are in and use it to the best of its potential with these small but effective hacks.
The first hack Kristen recommends is purchasing some slide-on mug hooks for inside your kitchen cupboard.
She said: "This might be my favourite hack, I think they look so cute, it looks more organised and it saves a ton of space."
This provides more space for bowls or plates while still keeping your mugs out of sight and the best bit is they are renter friendly.
Another great tip she shares for if you have a small kitchen is to get a compact cutlery organiser so you can fit your utensils and cutlery all in one drawer.
Having items on your countertops can look messy, especially if you already have a small space.

Kristen suggests using a foldable drying rack you can hang over your sink if you're already short on surface space.
The rack can be put away after use and it doesn't take up any room on your countertops.
Another effective way to organise your kitchen is by using undershelf baskets in your fridge.
They work the same as the cup hooks and create an extra shelf in your fridge so it's easier to find the food you want.
If you live in a small home or flat, then you know how irritating it can be to have your clothes horse out constantly.
But Kristen has found a savvy device that can be used to dry your clothes and hang other items without it being in the way.
Using a tension rod, which she bought from IKEA, she can hang items practically anywhere and she doesn't have to drill them into any walls.
Kristen uses hers for creating extra space to dry her clothes as well as under her sink to store cleaning items on.
Another option is to get a collapsable laundry basket if you're sick of seeing it lying around the house and have nowhere to put it.
A very simple hack Kristen shared is over the door hooks, Kristen uses two of them to store her ironing board which takes up no extra room in your home.
Lastly, Kristen suggests making more room in your closet by using slim velvet coathangers rather than plastic ones for maximum storage space.
