Eight wooden dish racks for a classic kitchen decor

The kitchen is a place that is prone to clutter. Cooking requires many ingredients that are housed in different vessels and dishes. While they are great on the counter top while you are working, when they are not needed, they create quite a hassle and a mess. And if you are ‘rack’ing your brains to solve this problem, we have some good news. Here are eight wooden dish racks that promise to clear the clutter in your kitchens in a green way.

Here is a bit of activity other than cooking that took place in the kitchen. Some wood, a saw, a drill and a DIY project ensured the creation of a beautiful wooden rack. The rack comes as a cabinet with neat separating bars for the plates. On top is a storage area that fits crockery and vessels of different sizes along with some necessary groceries. A simple but very useful rack in kitchens that often tend to get cluttered and messy.

Here is another rack that mounts as a wall unit. It has been aesthetically designed with warm colors to add a beautiful and traditional feel to the kitchen. The unit is open, making it easy to access and the plate rack below can store plates of different sizes. You could custom order a door for it or make the cabinet slightly bigger to store taller units. Or, you could simply make use of the roof space available on the rack!

5. Hand Wash Only

Hand Wash Only

This rack has been made with a specific task in mind – to act as a drying place for the washed plates, cups and dishes. The rack has been made from bamboo which is durable and sturdy. It also has a separate chamber for the spoons to remain as they dry. One complaint though – Why would one want the water from the plates to drain off over the glasses? Otherwise, it is a neat and handy piece to place next to the wash basin.

6. Kitchen Plate Rack Wall
