Railing
Connoisseurs of an open storage system will find roof rails that will allow you to use the kitchen space to the maximum.

The abundance of wood in kitchen decoration is often accompanied by copper utensils and accessories. In this case, of course, there is also no need to hide beautiful frying pans, but the copper ones will decorate the interior more than serve their intended purpose.

These ideas will help you think differently about storing pans in the kitchen, making your workspace more comfortable and saving space.
Convenient storage of pots, pans and lids
To ensure that finding the right pan does not take a lot of time, it is advisable to disassemble all the dishes. Gather together all the lids, all the pans and pots. Depending on the size, choose a convenient place where it will be easy to place the largest item.
If the household has large containers that are not used daily (cauldron, pressure cooker, etc.), then you can allocate a special place for them where they will not interfere. An option for storing such containers would be to use them as a container for smaller items.
For small cabinets that do not allow you to freely arrange all the necessary dishes, use non-traditional storage areas.
If the dishes are open to view, then it is better to buy them in a decorative design. Then it will serve as an element of kitchen design.
When you sort and organize large utensils, you will free up a lot of space in your kitchen.
Storage on rails and hooks
Railing is a convenient storage system for kitchen utensils. Ready-made components can be easily purchased at hardware and dishware stores. The kit necessarily includes a rod holder. Attach hooks and hangers, shelves, stands for convenient placement of lids, etc. to them yourself.
Rails are available in chrome and painted versions. These are universal sets that are suitable for kitchens decorated in any style. They are convenient to install above the island in a large kitchen or above the work area in a small one. Hanging pans do not disturb the housewife and serve as interior decor.
Matryoshka principle
The most common and convenient storage method. The pots are sorted by size and arranged from smaller ones to larger ones. When making a set of dishes, the containers are immediately selected so that they can be stacked one inside the other.
Pans (they are specially made with removable handles) and baking dishes are stored using the same principle. When storing this way, you don't have to place the lids separately, but sometimes you still have to do it.
Pan and lid
The method is suitable for a spacious kitchen, where you can put a separate cabinet for large utensils. The convenience of the method lies in the joint placement of the container and its lid. A number of furniture sets have special cabinets with compartments for dishes and a lid for them.
You can install dividers in your kitchen unit yourself and divide the cabinet space into similar zones.
Pull-out sections
Systems with pull-out and roll-out sections allow you to store large dishes in deep cabinets. When there are no sections, it is difficult to place and remove the necessary items. And their neat, compact installation is almost impossible. But in a small cabinet, pull-out sections made of metal profiles allow you to arrange pots and pans and conveniently place lids on them.
When looking for the required container, the housewife just needs to roll out the lightweight structure from the depths of the closet and take what she needs without interference. When closed, the pull-out sections are compact and hidden under the work area tabletop.
Table stands
The organizer stand consists of a lattice base, the holes of which are used to install lids in them, and the pots can be stored separately, assembled like a nesting doll and hidden in a cabinet drawer. This is also convenient for drying plates.
Tabletop stands are designed by designers so as not to take up much space on the table in the work area or near the sink. Some models have loops for wall mounting.
