9 Kitchen Organiser Racks That Ensure Utmost Order
Utilitarian, multipurpose and visually-pleasing, these multipurpose kitchen racks are a gift from kitchen heaven
Save your kitchen cupboards from clutter and help find a designated place for all the pots, pans, knives and knick-knacks that fill your kitchen. Take a look at these utensil racks for kitchens which make organising a piece of cake.
1. For a fully utilitarian kitchen, every inch should be put to work, like in this example. This hanging utensil rack for the kitchen makes use of a blank stretch of wall. Plus, the ceiling-hung pot rack eliminates the need for bulky storage shelves that can make a kitchen seem smaller and closed in.
Tip: Hanging pots and pans by the window is one way to make the most of every inch of space in the kitchen. Also, it could help obscure a less-than-ideal view.
2. A bold display of various types of knives can give the kitchen a Masterchef-type vibe. The minimal rack with an array of matching knives shows that the cook is experienced and particular about food prep.
Tip: Magnetic wall strips are a safe and easy way to store knives. The cutting edge of the knife has minimal contact with anything else, ensuring that it stays sharp and damage-free. Also, a strip is an efficient display as it allows the user to see all blade options in a single glance – no more pulling every knife from the shelf or knife box to find the one you want.

3. This lighting installation doubles as a kitchen organiser rack, making the unit a multifunctional one. Plus, the hanging pans can be removed whenever guests arrive, keeping its utility flexible.
4. A multipurpose kitchen rack like this one allows expensive crockery and glassware (such as decorative plates and wine glasses) to be kept in a neat and organised manner and within reach. Instead of the usual wire racks, this one, with a matte black finish, gives a stylish touch to the kitchen.

7. This minimal spice and utensils rack allows all important condiments and implements to be at one place, organised and within arm’s reach.
Tip: Ensure that you keep your dried herbs and spices in a spot that does not get direct sunlight, which can degrade them.
