Kitchen Racks and Shelving
Datetime:2014-02-24 Hits:
Kitchen Racks and Shelving makes navigating and using this key room in your home easier, because they provide you with storage areas that help you to avoid clutter and disorganization. Adequate storage helps you put your hands on that certain pan, bowl or lid when you need it, as well as lets you stock up on staple foods. Although you can find many different types of Kitchen Racks and Shelving for your kitchen in the store, you can make these items to suit your needs as well.
Kitchen Racks and Shelving 1: Ceiling Pot Rack
A ceiling pot rack allows you to take advantage of a space in your kitchen that's normally underutilized --- the ceiling. These pot racks come in a variety of styles and sizes. They usually feature metal bars that have hooks for you to hang the pans on. The hooks hold your pots and pans above your head within arm's length of the stove. If you're feeling creative, make your own pot rack. Some possible materials to use include the antique door you bought at an estate sale, an old piece of sturdy lattice, or even an old bicycle wheel. Just screw some hooks into these items and fasten some chains to them using hooks as well. Hang them on the ceiling using ceiling hooks.
Kitchen Racks and Shelving 2: Wine Racks
Wine racks allow you to store your wine in your kitchen instead of a wine pantry or cellar. A wine rack exists for almost any type of space you have in your kitchen, and any amount of wine. Some allow you to hang several bottles of wine plus the glasses under one of your cupboards. Other wrought iron racks feature an ivy design and fit nicely on top of the refrigerator or counter. Racks may be build into a kitchen cabinet box or be large enough to fill a kitchen-dining room pass through. Besides being handy for storing wine within easy reach, some of the fancier models are a real decorative element in your kitchen.
Kitchen Racks and Shelving 3: Lazy Susan
A lazy Susan makes accessing hard-to-reach items at the back of your pantry or cupboard a little easier. What often happens with deep shelves is that the items at the very back of the shelves get forgotten, because other items that you place in front of them hide them from your view. A lazy Susan will help alleviate this problem by allowing you to rotate the items, giving you a glimpse of everything that you have. They come in many different sizes as well as with or without tiers.
Kitchen Racks and Shelving 4: Pantry Shelves
The pantry gives you the space in your kitchen to store myriad items from large containers of flour to bulk macaroni. However, not all kitchens come outfitted with a pantry. If this is your dilemma, and you don't have it in your budget to get a built-in pantry made, make an external pantry for your kitchen. Get a set of industrial metal shelves and paint them in the colors you've featured in your kitchen decor. Buy metal or wicker baskets that are large enough to fit into the shelves as well as some plastic storage containers for dried goods such as sugar. Fill them up and insert them into the shelves.
