1. Traditionally, bakers racks were used in the kitchen to provide
an extra workspace and organize often-used kitchen tools. The flat work
surface is ideal for rolling out dough or making pastries. Lower
storage offers space for storing appliances, pots, pans, and other
kitchen items.
2. When used outside of the kitchen, they are sometimes referred to as etageres.
The simple combination of storage, display, and workspace allows these
fine furniture pieces to be a welcome addition to most any room in the
house. From bathrooms to living rooms, bakers racks offer a way to
display your items in a decorative style.
3. Bakers racks offer more than just hanging space. Traditionally, a
generous work surface is provided for practical and display purposes.
Back railing and shelves can offer more display area and a handy place
to hang small items. Under the work surface, more shelves or drawers
are provided.
4. Bakers racks can be used for many purposes. These ornate pieces
can serve as decorative displays in the living room, while racks with
wine bottle storage are well-suited for dining or tasting rooms. Placed
in the bathroom, a bakers rack makes for decorative storage for towels,
toiletry, beauty, and other personal items.
5. Bakers racks have as many styles as they have uses. From traditional to French Country, commercial
to transitional, there is a bakers rack crafted in a style to match
your decor. Shelves are available in wood, glass, metal, marble, and
even wicker. Wood, wicker, or metal are all materials used in the frame
of a bakers rack.
