Pot Rack Ideas


wall pot rack may be more practical than a hanging pot rack for those who do not want to have a pot rack as a visual centerpiece in the kitchen


Storing pots and pans with a hanging pot rack in an area where much of the prep work of cooking occurs proves to be very convenient. Here, the pots are easily accessible when preparing a meal and the rack is close to the sink to make cleanup quick.




This stainless-steel pot rack placed above the sink makes it simple to wash pots and hang them up to dry in the same spot. Making it easy to clean means it is more likely that pots and pans will not be left out. This kitchen organization tactic is perfect for those who find the chore of cleaning a difficult one
For those who use a plethora of pots and pans, a pot rack that outlines the room may be the perfect option. Hanging below the wraparound ledge enables the pots to be out of the way but still within reach. The kitchen retains its modern appeal while making practical use of the space by having the pot rack follow the contours of the room


With stainless-steel kitchen accessories, this silver pot rack fits right into the room. A smaller rack can afford just the right amount of area to hang pots and pans and clear up cabinet space for dinnerware and food items


This pot rack is ideal for a kitchen with a high ceiling. Copper tones mesh well with the wooden ceiling, and the glossy finish matches the smooth texture of the hood, refrigerator, and other appliances found throughout the kitchen


Pot racks come in a variety of sizes and mounting capabilities. Here, this Enclume pot rack can store up to 12 pots and pans. The sturdy rack hangs above the kitchen island, creating a fun atmosphere in the room


This rustic-looking pot rack acts as a chandelier as well as a kitchen organizer in this Tuscan-style home


This unique pot rack acts in the place of curtains in this kitchen. The use of a valance above the window provides an excellent place to hang pots and pans while creating the look of a drapery

Kitchen Storage New Ideas


A pullout next to the cooktop keeps oils, vinegars, and other cooking staples out of sight yet close at hand. Storing away extra bottles and jars keeps the counters of this midcentury modern home clean and uncluttered, perfect for the style's minimal aesthetic.


The designer of this '50s-style modern kitchen opted for sleek, slab-face, lacquer-finish cabinets, accented with frosted-glass doors. A pullout between the ovens and the dish storage boasts wire shelves for pantry items. "Because it's a narrow space, you don't want a lot of visual clutter," the homeowner says.


A deep drawer under the cooktop is designed to accommodate large pots with their lids in place. The drawer glides open easily, even when fully loaded. Glass panels on the sides make it easy to see what's inside. The drawer front looks like solid wood, but is actually laminate -- photography of real wood glued on marine-grade plywood.


Tired of neatly stacking your forks in a silverware drawer? Cabinetmakers now offer more specialty storage inserts than ever to meet almost every organization need. Make use of narrow spaces with inserts, such as these utensil holders.


Want to add some pullouts? You won't necessarily need to buy custom cabinets. Though custom cabinetry offers the widest variety of options, custom pullouts are now available in semicustom work. Another option: aftermarket products to modify stock cabinetry


A slim vertical pullout capitalizes on a narrow corner area to provide convenient spice storage. Dowel "guardrails" on the shelves hold the small containers in place. The storage also gives the cook a clear view of the kitchen's spice supply.


Get clutter off the countertops. A convenient hiding place keeps your toaster at the ready and out of sight. If your plans include a convenient pop-out toaster shelf, make sure it doesn't intrude into a main passageway.


Ever send your pots and pans crashing about as you struggle to find the right lid for a saucepan? The struggle ends in this kitchen

Kitchen Pantry Ideas


pantry closet maximizes space with storage on the door as well as on a rolling cart inside. The shelves stop short of one wall, leaving space to hang a mop and broom.


This split-door pantry features a built-in wine rack, shelves for storage, and a counter work space. The French doors give a glimpse of the cupboard display and add a classic touch to the kitchen area


This floor-to-ceiling lazy Susan offers easy access and visibility of contents. The curved door protects contents and helps the storage space blend in with the kitchen cabinetry


Reach-in kitchen cupboards are a good alternative when there's not space for a walk-in pantry. This one is efficient in its combination of shallow shelves, door racks, pullout drawers, and counter storage. Double doors offer easy access, integrate the pantry into surrounding cabinetry, and protect and conceal contents


Pullout pantries offer deep shelves that utilize every inch of space without taking up much floor space. With room for small appliances, spice racks, canned goods, and cookware, this kitchen pantry frees up space, and items are stored where they are used


Split-door corner pantries are perfect for small kitchens with unused corner space. Here, the corner pantry helps keep walkways clear. Inside the pantry, custom shelving offers ample storage for food, supplies, and small appliances


Frosted-glass inserts in the doors obscure what's inside so the pantry doesn't have to be kept tidy. Plus, the doors add a light and bright element to the kitchen.


This pullout pantry takes advantage of a tight space while providing convenient access to kitchen staples

Kitchen designs


Bright yellow hi-gloss cabinets give a real lift to this large kitchen and are contrasted with the soft white walls. Dark flooring adds an industrial feel to the space. Modern and sleek appliances complete the look.


Off-set the warmth of walnut furniture and maintain a fresh look by choosing wall cabinets in a soft shade of cream. Then choose granite worktops and matching upstands to give a continuous feel


This award-winning home, designed by an architect involved in The Eden Project, provides inspiration in its innovative kitchen. The hi-gloss island is curved to echo the shape of the walls. It gently tapers to the middle of the hosue, following the design idea that the kitchen radiates from the centre. As well as the gas hob, the island also includes a fridge and freezer


The mix of pattern and colour makes this sunny kitchen-diner stand out. The owl wall rug is an original focal point and adds personality, while the contrasting fabrics on the chairs help to inject some playful colour into the traditional white room


Colourful curtains and accessories give this kitchen dining area a bright and modern feel. The smart, plain units have a solid, timeless look that would work with most styles, so simply changing the curtains or bar stools would be an inexpensive way of updating the style in the future. White walls match the white surfaces, bringing the whole look together.


Striking purple gloss cabinetry creates great visual impact in this dramatic kitchen and is complimented by a bank of gleaming stainless-steel appliances. Walls are painted a pale white to soften the look, while a sleek crystal chandelier adds interest to the central island and breakfast bar.


Cool greys and white provide a muted backdrop for the striking hot-pink chairs and painted-glass splashback. The central island is a great place for the family to have breakfast, or for entertaining guests while preparing food. Built-in shelves tidy away kitchenalia, while sleek kitchen appliances complete the look.


This kitchen has been painted in a stormy grey to create a cool industrial-chic scheme. The mood is livened up with neon bright accents, such as the yellow chair, tile splashback and patterned blind. Glossy white kitchen units give it a super-modern edge.


The unique curvy breakfast bar creates an unusual focal point to this kitchen and softens the lines of the modern units. A seamless chocolate-coloured worktop accentuates the sweep of the curve and provides a stunning contrast with the pale units. Stainless steel pendant lights and contemporary bar stools complete the look.


A large open-plan kitchen like this one is ideal for large families where the chef wants to keep an eye on the kids. The high-gloss bar stools look great with white kitchen units and black granite surfaces – it’s the perfect space for breakfasts. A simple colour palette helps create a seamless flow in the space, with mahogany-effect flooring throughout
