Pot racks are a type of storage device that typically hang from a hook in the ceiling of a kitchen or are attached to the wall. They were once primarily used as a way to store cooking pots when not in use. Today, the use of the pot rack has somewhat changed and it is often thought of more as an accent piece than traditional kitchen storage. If you desire the French country look for your kitchen, however, installing a pot rack will not only enhance the decorating theme, but give you the extra benefit of vertical storage. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Measure the area where you plan to hang your pot rack to determine what size and style you will need. The French country kitchen is generally designed to allow for the maximum use of space. Depending on the size of your kitchen, you may wish to hang the pot rack from the ceiling or go with the classic type of pot rack that attaches to the wall.
2. Research the type of material you want for your pot rack. In French country decorating, pot racks are typically made of black wrought iron or an antique-painted wood. Some pot racks may even have a rooster motif to add to the French country look.
3. Purchase copper and silver colored pots for your pot rack. Copper and silver not only add a classic look to a French country design, but they are exceptional instruments for cooking as well.
4. Hang a string of garlic or bundle of dried herbs from the pot rack. Use ribbon to hang a single string of garlic or bundle of dried herbs, such as lavender or rosemary from a hook on the pot rack.
