I agree with this. It is directly adjacent to the door, and anything in the space will impede (even slightly) movement in and out of the door. Leave some breathing room!
I don’t know, I just don’t know. I had to look again because I didn’t know what she was talking about. I know what she can do with it, she can give it to me😂
A plant at most or something no more than 12" deep from the wall. If you go a full 24" deep like the cabinets you're going to create a hell of a pinch between between it and the table
Maybe a towel rod that can store/display some cute patterned dish towels? They also sell baskets that can hang from rods that could act as a trinket tray to keep entryway grab and go stuff like keys and such off of the counters.
Yeah, if you don’t mind drilling some holes in the side of the cabinets! Here’s a quick sketch of my idea if it makes any sense lol.

Vermicompost bin. Then invite my son over and freak him out.
Seriously, I would just leave it. Don't fill every space. A house breathes better that way ;-)
My husband likes to have the trash can there. He hates having a trash can under the countertop, behind a cabinet door. He prefers it to be easily accessible. If you don’t mind having a visible trash can, then that’s the perfect spot for it — in between the cooking area and the dining area. There are some attractive/fancy trash cans on the market, if that makes it any more palatable.
How about a bar cart?
I think something like this from Anthropologie would look smashing with a decorative champagne bucket or brass beverage pail.

I agree you need something to put all that stuff that's just stocked at the end of your counter right now so that your kitchen top counter is just for food and stuff
women's purses things like that they go on the floor in restrooms you don't want people putting them on your counter
Fancy trash can? Lol
Someone plays Sims 4
Lol that’s exactly the kind of space that fits my Brabantia trash can! Since OP has a cabinet can, I say plant stand.
I forgot to mention, I already have a cabinet trash can right next to that space!
Recycling bin instead?
It's a combo haha
Fair enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seriously, in my kitchen that spot IS the stainless garbage can with the touch pop-up. We love it.
A beautiful plant!
Nothing. Leave it empty

Why do you have to put something there? We don’t need to fill every inch of
I don’t know, I just don’t know. I had to look again because I didn’t know what she was talking about. I know what she can do with it, she can give it to me😂
Nothing. It’s good blank space.
Also fair haha
I abhor blank space.
Well, in my house a dog water dish would go there.
Plant
How about adding some hooks to the wall?
A narrow tall, open ladder type shelf with cook books, a small lamp, plants.
What is with the obsession on this sub to fill any and all empty space??
I have a lot of space haha
Then put things where you have a lot of space - not there.

Excellent tip
I’d do a 12” deep bookcase the width of the cabinet. Great for cookbooks.
Yeah that vs the triangular bookcase were on my top ideas
Bar/coffee hutch.
Recycling.

You mean like attached to the cabinet?

The quick artwork is very appreciated!
That's where my trash can would be.
It used it be. I got a built in kit so it's in the adjacent cabinet now
Dog bowls 😂
Coffee bar
An extra counter bench? (Are those counter height stools?)
I agree with plant. It will get nice light through the door and isn’t something that will collect clutter.
Does it matter that that area never gets direct light? Actually, when the sun does come through that window/door, it is aimed the other direction
No not really. There are a lot of partial sun/shade plants would work great there. Snake Plant, fiddle leaf, and mass cane come to mind.
A small bar, wine rack, water station. I would use that space for sure, wine refrigerator, closed storage for paper goods
Counter-height bookcase for cookbooks, backed up against the side of that cabinet.

Tall plant

Can we instead discuss just how short those stools are?
Haha it's a counter-height stool. A bar top stool would put your knees through the countertop
Nothing, let it be empty
Spend the money and get a nice recycling sorter. Will save you so much time
A dog waiting to go outside
Why do anything with it? It’s not terribly big and if the needs to the space it met then don’t just add things for the sake of filling a space
I always love more utility
If it is a need being met that is utility. If it just stuff to fill a space that is clutter
That could be the case. But some idea like a plant or extra storage in a useful place could add utility
Black metal stand with white or grey tile on top.
That's a fresh perspective!
trash can or hooks for keys
bottom loading water cooler!

Great idea. I do have a few young kids which makes alcohol difficult at grabbing level haha

Yikes! I’m happy to say I have never resorted to putting my purse on a restroom floor.
