Hanging pots and pans is a time-old tradition for making cooking easier and keeping cabinets uncluttered. The technique has appeared in some of the world's most stylish celebrity homes, from Jennifer Lopez to Victoria Beckham. Now, Kendall Jenner presents a new take on the storage method.
The model's kitchen storage idea incorporates a bar that hangs in a square around her central light fixture over her island. Hooks hang down from the bar, holding a variety of copper pots and pans. This hanging storage idea, no doubt dreamt up by her talented team at Clements Design and Waldo's Design, is brilliant. Not only does it make use of the empty space above the island that would otherwise go unused, but it also introduces an element of characterful, traditional design into the modern kitchen.
Experts favor Jenner's method of maximizing kitchen storage for its balance of style and functionality. For instance, Laura Watson, design expert at IKEA always recommends display storage, especially for small kitchens. She states: 'Floating shelves and hooks can be both functional and visually appealing. Vertical storage solutions utilize otherwise wasted wall space while displaying items that reflect your personality. This also helps to keep the floor area clear, avoiding the room feeling cluttered.'
These kitchen racks may double as kitchen wall decor, but they're also highly practical – keeping cooking supplies and other kitchen utensils where we can easily reach them.
If you want the authentic feel of antique crockery, these 19th century copper pots are perfect. Proof that this look can last absolutely forever.
If there's ever a time to follow Jenner's example, it's now, when this inspired cookware is enjoying large price reductions for the holiday shopping period. The Gotham Steel hammered collection is beautiful and makes a statement in every kitchen, as well as being oven and dishwasher-safe.
To replicate her method, start with a rail. If you have an open space above your island, you can mount the railing in the same way seen here as a square on the ceiling. If you have a different kitchen shape, a wall railing is a beautiful alternative. I love the look of a pot hanger over a stovetop or layered over a countertop. To update the rails for functionality, you can add an 'S' shaped hook to the rails to hang the pots from. Like Kendall, you can choose copper pots to add a country kitchen look to the railing. Hammered copper pots could also be good for adding interesting texture. Alternatively, chrome silver pots would create a more modern look.
Vertical storage is a wonderful way to use dead space and enhance the design of a kitchen. Kendall Jenner's space is the perfect example.
