​When counter-top space is limited buying a kettle requires quite bit of thought. These tips will help you to find the best kettle for your small space

A kettle can take up a lot of surface area on your kitchen worktop. And when worktop space is limited, you want to make sure that any kettle you buy has a small foot print. Plus, it should be easy to fill and pour and boil quickly and efficiently.

Kettles with a small footprint
When you are choosing a kettle, look for one that is tall and narrow, rather than one that is short and stout. This will take up much less countertop space, without compromising on the volume of water it can heat. This funky Sowden Kettle by Hay is just 2cm wide, 16.5 cm deep and 25cm high and it holds 1.5 litres of water, enough to make a good few cups of tea or fill a saucepan for boiling your veg.
  Go for a cordless kettle
You don't want to have a wire snaking across your kitchen every time you move your kettle to use it. Go for a base that is plugged in and a kettle itself that has no cord. This sleek Breville Edge Kettle from Amazon stores up to 1.7 litres of water, lifts easily off its base and has an extra wide spout to make pouring that much easier.

You want a quiet kettle
Make sure your kettle keeps the noise down. You don't want to have to shout at your guests to be heard over the intense rumbling of your boiling water contraption. This stylish Dualit Classic Kettle, available from John Lewis, is approved by Quiet Mark, which acoustically tests products and only rubber stamps those that are suitably quiet. So, this kettle will quietly boil water without disrupting any conversation in the room.
  Make your kettle eco-friendly
We must all consider how our buying choices impact our carbon footprint these days, so it is important to make sure that what ever kettle you buy it is eco-friendly. Look for kettles that boil quickly. These are normally labelled 'quick boil.' And not only will they help you do your bit for the planet, they will ensure that you won’t be left waiting around for the steam to rise either. This Swan Nordic Jug Kettle boils rapidly and automatically turns off when the water is fully boiled or if there is insufficient water inside it. Its wooden handle is rather lovely too.

Plus it will bounce light around your room, helping to make it appear a little brighter too.
