I have a one bedroom apartment and my kitchen is extremely small. I love to cook and bake so I have a lot of appliances and cookware, but no where to put them. Remodeling is out because I don’t own the apartment nor do I have the funds for it. I have thought about some kind of tall storage compartment type things, but they all look so ugly. Any suggestions.

Make a pantry like shelf that stands from the floor to the ceiling. Build your shelf space accordingly to your appliance sizes.
Yeah, they are ugly especially on a tight budget.

I have the same problem in my kitchen.
First and foremost. downsize. There has to be at least 10 things you haven’t used in a year or longer. It’s just taking up space, so give it to someone who will use it.
If you have upper cabinets with the space between the top and the ceiling, organize your like-color pots and pans on top of them or even all your cook books. I have 8 stainless pots/pans on top of mine (from smallest to largest) and it saves me soooo much space. My oven has the pot drawer underneath that I can now store my appliances (rice cooker, blender, processor, etc) in.
Simple tips:
Mixing bowls of all sizes should be stacked into the largest one. even if they are not sets, they still may fit at least a few into a stack.
If you need your cabinet space for appliances, stack your plates onto a plate stand out on the counter.

Even a pot stand can be used for tons of pots, plates, bowls, etc. It’s perfectly narrow and tall.
