Pot Rack
Pot racks suspend cookware from hooks attached to ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted frames, freeing cabinet space while keeping pots and pans within easy reach. Beyond functionality, a well-arranged pot rack adds visual interest—the gleam of copper or the uniformity of cast iron becomes kitchen decoration.
The hanging approach suits kitchens with adequate ceiling height and creates a professional, working-kitchen aesthetic.

Placement & Usage Tips
Hang pot racks over islands or peninsulas where dangling cookware won't impede movement. Mount height should allow reaching pots without strain—typically 40-48 inches above the counter. Secure into joists or use toggle bolts rated for the load.
💡 Pro Tip
A pot rack works best with attractive cookware—mismatched or worn pots look cluttered rather than decorative. Consider investing in a matching set if your cookware will be on display. Keep most-used items at easy-reach height.
