Finding a beautiful modern wall mounted magazine rack that you are proud to call your own can be a challenge. You know what you want in your mind, but you can't seem to find the right items when you go shopping. If you're struggling to think of the type of design you're looking for, let's consider some of the various styles and some other things that you should consider before buying.

What are the most popular designs of modern wall mounted magazine racks?

Simplistic metal wall mounted rack

This is normally black in color and therefore neutral enough to fit in with most surroundings. It can also be seen in metal and white, however, and some rare items may be in brighter colors. Around 8-10 inches in width, it is the ideal size for magazines or A4 sized books. However, it also means that you can put other books in there, making it ideal for most homes. You should be most aware of the flexibility of the wall mounted magazine rack and whether you can move it up and down on your wall. When it is installed, you should affix it at a height that everybody in the household will be able to reach comfortably.

Wooden wall mounted rack

Like the above design, this is also neutral with the ability to fit in with the décor of most homes. However, if you have a home consisting of lots of metal objects or very dark colors, you might find that this clashes badly with a wooden design. This style can be found slightly wavy or curved in shape, which is ideal if you want a softer look. An alternative to this is the more defined racks, which have straight edges and no movement in them. Often, these racks are created using natural wood or beautiful teak wood.

Modern uneven mounted magazine rack design

A design that is uneven and often available in a variety of bright colors, this modern look suits your living room just as well as it suits the office. Rather than horizontal and vertical beams that are aligned, this magazine rack has uneven beams which vary in height and width, creating a modern and interesting look. You should ensure that the width space you have available has been correctly measured since it is wider than most magazine racks and therefore more likely to be the wrong fit when you get home.

Wall-mounted glass magazine rack

This design takes the form of a rectangular piece of glass that is affixed to the wall. There is either a metal beam along the bottom or a wooden beam which is then attached with screws or, in some cases, strong adhesives. One of the benefits of this rack is that the glass allows you to easily view the magazines which you have stored on it. Although some of the ultra-modern designs will have defined edges, many of the racks in this style will have softer rounded edges.
