Hang on the Wall
If you have wall space that isn’t occupied by cupboards, try hanging your pots and pans on the wall. Attach a board or metal railing to the wall and add some hooks. Choose hooks that allow the pots and pans to rest flat against the wall. These are the most inspiring home organization makeovers.
Hang Inside Cabinets or Cupboards
Do you have enough space to hang pots in a kitchen cabinet or cupboard? You may have to remove shelves, but it can be worth it. Attach some hooks to the top of the cabinet and let the pans hang. As for the lids, hang them inside the cabinet or cupboard door. You just need some plastic adhesive hooks that are spaced to fit each lid for a pots and pans rack cabinet.
Recycled Hanging Rack
Feeling creative? Try using a bicycle wheel, an old wood window frame (without the glass) or a small ladder to create a hanging pot rack for your kitchen. Just and add some S-hooks to hang your pots and pans. Since cookware is heavy, be sure to find the joists in your ceiling and anchor the hanging chain or rope to them.
