A kitchenette is a small cooking area, which usually has a refrigerator and a microwave oven, but may have other appliances - for example a sink. They are found in studio apartments, some motel and hotel rooms, college dormitories, office buildings, furnished basements, or bedrooms in shared houses. New York City's building code defines a kitchenette as a kitchen of less than 7.4 m2 (80 ft2) of floor space.[1]
