Pot racks right over the stove or kitchen island make cooking a breeze, because you don’t have to abandon your sauce to get another pan for the vegetables. You just have to reach up above and pull the right pot or pan practically out of the sky.

There are various pot rack designs. Some hang below the kitchen light over the island while other can be drilled into the wall. The Enclume Bookshelf Pot Rack is made in hammered steel, copper, chrome and stainless steel. This attaches to a wall, and it can come with either a deep or regular sized bookshelf.

Along with your essential pots and pans, you can store those cookbooks that you refer to most often. Of you can even put your spice jars on the shelf for storage/decoration.
