3 Creative Ways to Use A Metal Bakers Rack

As new home construction features small, or more intimate spaces, homeowners are using vertical space in creative, innovative ways. Items with an old-fashioned appeal such as bakers racks provide unique storage options as well as contribute to a pleasant ambiance. Following are just three of the many creative ways that you can put a bakers rack to good use in your home.

In the Foyer 

A bakers rack that features ornate ironwork may be the perfect accent piece to place in your foyer. It can hold decorative items on its shelves that create an artistic ambiance, as well as small baskets for keys and mail. If your entrance contains a small seating area, you could also use the bakers rack to hold reading material. The bakers rack you choose for your foyer should be as decorative as possible while still matching the overall decor of your home.

In the Bathroom 

Bakers racks also provide an excellent vertical storage option for bathrooms. They can hold toiletries, linens, and baskets of soap, and anything else that you might need in the bathroom. You can also choose a metal bakers rack that has a couple of drawers and a flat surface and use it as a vanity table. If your bathroom has limited space, consider placing a bakers rack right outside the door and filling it with attractive towels and washcloths.

In the Kitchen 

Another excellent way to put a bakers rack to good use in your home is to place it in your kitchen and use it in the manner in which it was intended when first created. Baking is a creative and satisfying pastime, and you and your family will have the added benefit of having access to delicious freshly baked goods. If you don't have a large family to feed, you can always use your metal bakers rack to hold baskets of fresh fruit, cookbooks, kitchen linens, and other assorted kitchen items.
