hanging pot and pan racks
Hanging pot and pan racks, its like adding an extra cupboard
Pot and pan racks are real space savers when you are running out of storage and cupboard space in the kitchen. If your cupboards are anything like mine they are full. Buying new kitchen cabinets is not the answer (although I wish it was). The solution to this problem is a hanging pot rack for your main cooking utensils and pots and pans that you would use in preparing meals. They can also speed up your meal preparation time because everything is at your finger tips.
Hanging pot racks are another type of kitchen decor that has a more useful decorative purpose, they save you valuable cupboard space. For someone that likes to cook it’s nice to have a rack just above the kitchen island to hold your most common utensils.
Five styles with five different finishes, wood, brass, wrought iron, copper and stainless steel
Hanging racks are typically placed over kitchen islands, peninsulas, countertops without cabinets above them or large double sinks. If you just want to hang them from the ceiling restaurant style then you will need to ensure the ceiling height is adequate for clearance from the pot hanging down not the rack. One very popular pot and pan organizer are the pot racks with lights
Wall Mounted Pot Rack – these work well between or next to kitchen cabinets and cupboards. One favorite spot for wall mounted styles is over the stove because you can hang your cooking utensils there. There are pot racks for low ceilings, these have brackets instead of chains.
Standing pot racks are more of a corner shelf that you place your pots and pans on. They also normally come with a plant holder. These are ideal if you have a corner that you need to fill.
Bookshelf pot racks are nice if you want to place cookbooks with your favorite recipes above your pots, they become more of a room accent.
Utensil racks are also used as a pot rack and to hand kitchen utensils with them. This type hangs from chains from the ceiling and has hooks that you attach to a bar. They can be purchased in lengths of 36 inches, 42 inches all the way up to 48, and 54 inch lengths.
The shape of your pot rack should be determined by the area it is going to hang from or above. For instance if your kitchen island has rounded corners a oval or half round rack would look better. If it’s for above a countertop then the rectangular or square style would probably look best. When I mention the shape of the rack its the part that hangs down not the mounting brackets.
