Next, determine how much space you have for your rack. For a wall-mount installation, simply measure the area in which you will hang the rack, adding several inches at the bottom for dishware to hang off. A person's reach is about one foot taller than their height, so for a ceiling-mounted pot rack, a good rule of thumb is to subract the ceiling height from your height, minus a 12-inch reach, minus approximately 12-inches for pots. Then, to determine how much chain is needed, subtract the pot rack height from that result.
You can also try this easy trick:
First, gather your largest stock pot, the longest handled fry pan and the smallest pan your use regularly. Then, grab all of the cooks who will need to access those items. Have your chefs hold the assortments of pans at the level you'd like to hang your rack. The cookware should be held an appropriate distance from the top and edge of the counter, facing in the proper direction. Be sure that the tallest chef's head clears the lowest-hanging pan and that shortest the chef can reach the smallest one. Measure the rack you just designed (Tip: make x's on the ceiling with masking tape). Note the length, width and distance between the pan's hook and the ceiling.
With so many materials and finishes to choose from, it's important not only to consider your decor, but also the weight and maintenance required. The ever-popular brushed stainless is easy to clean and hides most scratches, plus will blend seamlessly with existing appliances. Shiny metals like chrome, brass and mirrored stainless steel add a decorative touch but require regular polishing to retain their luster. Wrought iron and hammered steel are a good choice for those who don't want to spend a lot of time cleaning or polishing. These durable metals can withstand the heaviest loads and resist tarnishing and rust. Plus, deep scratches can be covered with a little paint. Wood racks require minimal maintenance, but generally hold the lightest loads.
