Material selection depends on the general style of kitchen, its size, financial opportunities and personal taste of the owner. Among the most popular options:
Tree. For kitchen the inexpensive, but practical pine is most often used. This material is nice on the touch, beautiful, durable, ecologically faultless. It is possible to varnish ready rack or mordant, to paint, decorate film. Light wooden products best of all look in the kitchens sustained in ecological, folklore, rural style. They are appropriate also in expressly vintage kitchen dinning rooms and also in modern interiors in the Scandinavian style. Designs from dark tree ideally fit into classical English interior. They give to normal kitchen charm of old pub and additional cosiness. Racks from tree you should not place in interiors in style hi-tech or minimalism, they are badly combined with plastic and abundance of metal.
Plastic. Modern plastic racks easily wash, they can be rearranged quickly. Such furniture is cheaper wooden or metal, quietly transfers excess of moisture, heat from plate, pranks of children and pets. Plastic racks are appropriate in expressly modern kitchens, but in the dining rooms issued in classic or folklore style them it is better not to place. Essential minus – fragility of material. Plastic regiments are not suitable for storage of bulky and too heavy things, on them it is better to place baskets with vegetables or fruit, small kitchen accessories, reserves of household chemicals. Designs from plastic fade over time therefore they should be changed more often than wooden or metal. Big advantage of products – price availability and ease of assembly.
Metal. The national teams or welded metal racks look expressly brutally and perfectly fit into kitchens in style hi-tech. Furniture from the opaque or polished metal is very strong, durable, is in own way beautiful. Designs from stainless steel are most functional, they are suitable for storerooms, work areas. Such furniture is corrosion resistant, well transfers the increased humidity. The racks painted in light tone can be established in kitchens of style Provence, bright surfaces well are in harmony with plastic.

In small kitchen it is the most reasonable to establish the built-in rack. It can occupy any suitable niche, take place behind the opening door or in interval between the acting beams. Not too deep regiments will almost not reduce the sizes of kitchen. Original option – the narrow rack framing door. Small regiments will be placed on each side, deeper and long have under ceiling. Such furniture is ideal for storage of product stocks or seldom used household appliances. The only minus – to get the necessary things, it is necessary to use stool or step-ladder. The built-in rack surely fix to wall, it is possible to leave it open or to add with easy blinds in tone of walls.
If the sizes of the room allow, it is worth thinking of rack divider. With its help it is convenient to zone the room, separating working corner with plate, the fridge, sink and finishing table from the cozy dining room. It is better to do rack divider of tree or metal. It can be through, not blocking access of daylight. Such design will not look bulky, on shelves it is worth placing not only functional objects, but also decor elements: ceremonial ware, souvenir jugs and dishes, houseplants, small bouquets of flowers, cookbooks in beautiful covers.

Such products are made of metal or tree, also light-weight plastic constructions are possible. The angular rack can perform also decorative functions, on shelves it is possible to place decorative tanks, bouquets of flowers, houseplants.
Height of design depends on interior. The low subject with 2-3 regiments can be used as additional table, such option beautifully looks in wide kitchens in the Scandinavian or folklore style. If desired regiments can be closed blinds or blinds, having turned open rack into the improvised locker. More solid options height to ceiling demand additional fixture. Such racks do of tree or metal.
