The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in any household. With large families it could become quite cumbersome to individuals who can't maneuver around their kitchens freely with all of the clutter. To eliminate this problem, consider utilizing some empty spaces in your kitchen by using one of the three rack ideas mentioned in this article.

Pot Racks have been used as far back as the 1400's. Back then pot racks were mainly used by lower income families because their kitchens were very small with little to no extra storage space. These early versions of racks were hung on hooks which suspended their cookware from the ceilings and made for an easy reach of desired pots and pans. The same was true for the wall rack for which the hook was applied to the wall of their choice and they displayed their cookware for easy accessibility. There also was a tripod version with hooks for pots and pans and kettles to hang from it, which were placed in a corner of the kitchen.

There are three elementary forms of pot rack shelving: suspended, (ceiling racks/hanging racks) fixed, (wall racks/bookshelf) and also free standing racks.

• Hanging racks and ceiling racks are great center pieces that will suspend over kitchen islands and island carts. You can purchase a basic pot rack or a lighted pot rack or a chandelier design that will radiate your pots and pans as well as the room.

• Wall mount racks and bookshelf racks are mainly utilized on an unoccupied wall of choice in your kitchen. They're attached to the studs in your walls to support the weight of the pots and pans that you display on them.

• Free standing racks are great for a lonely corner in your kitchen. They range from three tier to eight tiers to store a feasible amount of your cookware.

Select the rack(s) that will fit your kitchen scheme as well as your designed layout. There are many manufacturers, Enclume one of the best crafters in the business, Old Dutch and Rogar just to name a few.
