Regardless of the size of your kitchen, you may eventually find yourself running out of space for all your pots and pans. As you settle down and shop for an increasing number of household items, there may come a time when you need to think about extra storage measures.
Investing in a wrought iron hanging pot rack is a great way to save some cupboard space and worktop space in your kitchen. Hanging down from the ceiling rather than taking up any of your workspace, they add plenty of charm to all homes as well as being practical additions to the kitchen. Some pot designs are really visually pleasing, so hanging them on a rack is a clever way to put your collection on display.
Straight horizontal hanging pot rack
This is one of the most simple designs, so if you don't want anything that attracts too much attention in your kitchen, think about buying one of these. There are around ten metal wires which cross over in either direction to create the rack feature, while the wrought iron frame holds everything together and manages the weight of your heaviest pots. The handles are also made from wrought iron, and can be affixed to your kitchen ceiling in a suitable location.
Feature wrought iron hanging pot racks
If a design like the above sounds a little too empty for your kitchen, you can look at the feature pieces which have some extra character about them. For example, there are designs which include a peacock or tree on the rack, positioned either in the center or along one of the sides. While this has no effect on the way the product is used, it is a great way to make a simple item into something with more charm. This style is a good option if you are worried that the hanging pot rack might make your kitchen look old or boring.
Wrought iron wall pot rack
This item is fixed to one of the kitchen walls, and comes with several hooks on which to hang your pots and pans. It is slightly different from many of the other designs in that it does not become attached to your ceiling at all. However, it's still an effective way to save space while storing your pans and pots safely. There are typically between six and eight hooks – all made from wrought iron. The pot racks which hang from the ceiling will also hold around 6-8 pots, therefore the capacity is the same for both designs.
Circular wrought iron hanging pot rack
If you don't like a rectangular shape for your pot rack, there is a circular version which is equally as practical and easy to install. Rather than having a criss-cross style rack on which to hang the pots from, the circular design has a rounded frame with various hooks attached to the edges of it. If there are hooks all the way around the frame, you may have space for around twelve pots. Some of the hanging pot racks, however, only have space for six.
A general rule is to hang pot racks in such a way that there are 40 to 48 inches from the bottom of the hooks to the top of the work surface.
