Pot racks provide ample storage.
An overflowing pot rack instantly communicates the message that a good cook lives in the home. Along with sending that signal, pot racks in the kitchen serve multiple purposes. They keep cookware within easy reach, free up precious cabinet space for other items and add style, acting as a functional piece of art. Does this Spark an idea?
Pot Racks
The most obvious solution for hanging pots in your kitchen is a pot rack. These handy items are usually mounted from the ceiling and sometimes from the wall. Crate & Barrel, Target, Home Depot, Lowe's and many other retailers carry them in all shapes, sizes, finishes and styles, complete with mounting hardware. Make certain the rack you choose is capable of supporting the substantial weight of your cookware.
Chandelier
An alternative to the traditional hanging pot rack is a chandelier with curving arms or a circular bottom. Hang S-hooks from the arms or bottom of the chandelier to support a few pots and other kitchen utensils. For a Tuscan look, hang a circular wrought iron chandelier that holds candles. When entertaining, light the candles. This option simultaneously provides illumination and storage.
Wall Mounts
You can mount a variety of items to the wall for hanging pots. A vintage wrought iron gate, a stainless steel curtain rod or even a pegboard painted to match your kitchen are a few ideas. Add S hooks and pots. A piece of wood molding with evenly spaced hooks or even a coat rack are other options. If your pot collection is large, drill into the wall stud for the most support.
