So you’ve decided that you need your next must-have kitchen accessory. You are sick of not having enough storage space in your kitchen. In particular, bending over to that low cupboard to get the dishes out for dinner is getting too much. We all love to cook and bake, but cleaning up afterwards and putting the dishes back in the cupboard is a chore. The answer to all of our needs is a wall mounted plate rack. Not only will you create much-needed storage space, but you’ll also use up kitchen space that few of us use. Apart from all these reasons, a well designed wall mounted shelf that matches your kitchen style could be the icing on the cake of your kitchen design.
Where to Find Wall Mounted Dish Racks
Much will depend on your budget and when you need your cabinet. If you have a larger budget and a specific space and quantity of dishes that you want to accommodate, then the preferable option is to find a local cabinetmaker or carpenter to design a custom wall-mounted dish rack. However, those of us on a smaller budget can always hunt for a bargain at the car boot or garage sales. The easiest option is to use the internet and a good tip is to use Google image search as you will soon be able to narrow down the plate rack you are looking for. If all else fails, there is always the Google web search or good home internet sites like IKEA or Amazon.
Assembling your cabinet
Many people see this as an afterthought when it comes to purchasing a wall mounted dish rack, however this needs to be considered in an important way. First of all, you should place your plate on a rack where it is easy to access, but not where people can enter. It should also be at a suitable height to avoid excessive bending or stretching. Lastly, you need to make sure that the surface on which the wall plate bracket is to be mounted is sturdy and that the fixings you have chosen will hold it to the wall for many years.
