Pot rack is very functional way of organizing your cookware. Usually found in more traditional style kitchens it could also be used in transitional kitchen styles. Whether is for space reasons or for design effect hanging your pots on a rack above the kitchen island or above the stove is useful, beautiful and classic. Pot racks in kitchens can also be a great way of displaying collections for example not only pots and pans can be hung from it but also ceramics and kitchen utensils. If you are looking for inspiration below you can find a few pictures of kitchens displaying cookware on racks. I have my pots in a Lazy Susan in a lower corner cabinet which is pretty convenient I shall say. My chic copper collection however, enjoys a far better place in my built in book case above my kitchen banquette and I love to see them in the open everyday. Here are a few images with beautiful pots hanging from pot racks. Enjoy!
A very industrial kitchen with pots and pans displayed everywhere. Notice the food scale also hanging from the rack.
This is a very big island that functions as bookshelf and storage. The way the pots frame the pendants is aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.
Having everything in hand is an essential part of good living. Spices above the stove and olive oils in reach is a must for me. I also believe in breaking your kitchen into small spaces. A section for coffee for instance. It doesn’t need to be a whole station with integrated coffee maker or anything that fancy, by only assigning a tray with sugar, coffeemate or cream next to a regular coffee maker will make life easier and your mornings more enjoyable.

Gorgeous post……if you are going to invest in copper pots, you should definitely show them off in all their glory is my opinion! Stunning examples of how to do just that!

I like seeing these racks, I have a little (stupid) question though… what about the dust on them? LOL

Olga,
That's funny! Since cleaning is an essential part of every day living, I guess that you just put them under water every month and it's done. It's easier than we think.

Love pot racks and I'm especially drawn to the kitchens with the brass and pot racks…gorgeous!!

I was wondering with so much light coming through the windows in some images, would it be in bad taste to put a stained glass mobile there to reflect the sunlight in multicolor?
I think that the colored light would look nice bouncing off of some stainless steel cookware.
