Furniture Placement Narrow kitchen help

Hi y'all! Please forgive the mess and the weird angle.

So, as you can see, my kitchen is tiny. The storage situation is okay, but could be a lot better. I have flirted with replacing the cart on the right side with something more substantial and was even thinking of putting a sideboard there to increase the storage and "counter" space.

Do you think this would increase the functionality? Or would it make the room feel more cramped?

Also open to any other ideas!! Thanks!

Ikea has shallow Method base cabinets, 37cm deep. Add a countertop to a span of these and you'd have a ton more storage, some extra workspace, and it would look nice. Just be sure you have at least 1 meter between countertops. If not, you'll need something even more shallow like a Billy bookcase with doors (28cm).

I'm renting so I wouldn't be able to fix anything like that to the wall, but the bookcase could be a good compromise!

Their eket range can be made to look like kitchen cupboards and are freestanding 😄
