Short on cookware storage space? Hanging cookware, especially skillets on a pot rack or wall is a good storage option, but it also keeps your cookware from getting marred with scratches when nested with other pans.

When installing a pot rack is not possible, a budget alternative is to hang skillets on the wall. Just look for sufficient wall space, close to your cooking area, and ensure that you will be nailing through a stud to accommodate the weight of the pans.

Although cookware that is hung in open storage may need a quick cleaning before use, it's a convenient storage option, providing quick access for cooking, enhancing your kitchen's decor and giving your pans safe storage.
