Would it look silly? Definitely.

Also cluttery. Also unsettling. Who wants to have dinner with pots and pans hanging over them? And, will the pots on this rack be unused and pristine? Or, during dinner will diners be staring up at the typical browned and scratched bottoms of used pots and pans?

Nooooooooo

That’s just silly.

I can't imagine it! It's not only going to look strange, but it'll cast grid and pot-shaped shadows all over your dinner conversations.

Just, NO. why or why would anyone thinks this looks good?

do you want more of an industrial look?

you want extra storage? for pots?

why not post a pic of the space ?

I wouldn't do it

Don't use the pot rack anywhere! Speaking as someone who had one above my stove, I think they're dated, ugly and inconvenient hanging from the ceiling.

Yes.

I wouldn't, because it would feel oppressive with that weight over my head.

Ask yourself if it would be convenient to walk over there to get your pan of choice. Or, would you keep you most used pots/pans next to the cooktop/stove and end up not using the ones in the far-away ceiling rack?

That shouldn't be hung anywhere at all.

Nope.

What does your table/kitchen look like? Pictures would help. In Beth's second picture I think it would look totally appropriate. Tables are wider than most islands and may make it impractical to get to the items you need. I will add I have often wondered at their practicality. Do people REALLY use those hung pots or is the entire installation a decor item and not actual used storage?

Take it back and get a proper light honestly . Could you post some pics of your kitchen we might be able to help with better choices for storage.

Agree with many above- if you post pictures of the rest of the kitchen we can help with storage. I have found a lot of people have just too much stuff they rarely actually use because they have accumulated it over the years and "may need it" one day.

The original poster ASKED if it would look silly. The consensus is yes. If you ask a question on the internet you're going to get wide and varied responses. While I have seen this forum be rude, nothing on this post comes close to needing more tact.

It looks like the poster isn't coming back anyway. One of the flybys we see here a lot.

If you like it do it ..your house

I think you got your answer. Yes.

I wouldn't recommend a pot rack/light over your dining table. Pot racks are only meant for kitchen islands. I wouldn't do it even if your kitchen island is part of your dining table. What do you think of these options below for your dining table? These are simple transition pieces to start from. Now sizing of the chandelier will depend on the size of your dining table. Good luck!

Would it look silly? To me it would.

We had a hanging pot rack at our last house. While I appreciated the convenience and ease of use, I still didn’t like it. It drew dust and dirt and even though I’m really short, I always felt like I was going to bonk my head on a frying pan.

Actually, not necessarily. In an old fashioned kitchen with a work table in the middle that might get eaten at, it can be okay. But that would be the sort of kitchen with a drainboard sink and a mismatched Hoosier and herbs drying from the rafters. But at that point, I'd have to say that that particular pot rack won't work--too modern.

As someone else posted if you give us some pictures of your space we could give you some other solution to the pot storage problem. This is what I did. May not work for everyone but it works for me. I have the small pans close that I use all the time. They are easy reach for me and I could add another row if I wanted to.
