Shortened pot rack


Materials: Bygel rails, Grundtal hooks, pine planks, L brackets

Description: For 10 years, my Grundtal wall shelf served me well, holding all my pots and pans within easy reach while cooking. When my husband and I downsized to a much smaller apartment (and kitchen!), I realized that there was no place for it.

The space that I had to work with was only 2 feet wide - much narrower than the smallest of the Grundtal wall shelves. I had to improvise.

Using some shelves that I had built a year ago out of L brackets and stained pine boards, I simply attached three Bygel rails to the bottom, and hung the Grundtal hooks from the rails.


It's a simple hack, but the result is super. I have quick access to all of my pots and pans, saving much needed cabinet space!

  1. Reminds me of what I did for my closet. I screwed the same Bygel rails into my ceiling and use the hooks to hang my purses from. No more need for shelf space and they are up and out of the way.

  2. Looking at that last picture, I can't help but think you would save more space by stacking. I always thought that hanging pots was best used when there is a surplus of space(both physical and visual).

    But I guess it saves you time trying to find the right pot...
