Chrome Wire Shelving for a Contemporary Home
Modern Storage With Metro Wire Shelves and Rubbermaid Wire Shelving for Closet and Kitchen
For those with a gleaming, shiny, modern home, the ideal storage solutions do not have to include old fashioned wood units which look out of place. For cabinets, racks and shelving around the house, there are many modern metal alternatives, such as chrome wire and stainless steel, that not only look the part, but provide excellent units for storing anything you might need to within the home.
Two of the better known companies or brands for supplying steel wire shelving and other wire rack shelving are Rubbermaid and Metro. You will find their products in the stores and at major web sites such as Amazon. Closetmaid, Whitmore and Gracious Living are other potential wire shelving suppliers to consider.
Metro wire shelving from Emerson is mainly target at commercial racking buyers, but some of the wall mounted Metro wire shelving systems could be used in the home. You will also find some metro style wire shelves aimed at consumers. Rubbermaid wire shelving is readily available for home use, such as the Rubbermaid 3H91 Configurations 26-Inch Add-On Shelving Kit in titanium, plus the Rubbermaid 5H09 Steel Reinforced Shelving Unit, 72-Inch 5-Shelf. They also do the FastTrack range for golf bags, fishing rods and baseball bats which are quite handy.
Stainless steel, which includes chromium, or chrome plating, are materials which come to mind as being at the forefront of modern furniture generally, or contemporary storage racking in particular. Chrome wire shelving has become a popular choice for racks in the home, and they are particularly good for the kitchen environment, where hygiene and cleanliness are of the utmost importance.
However, chrome wire racking can be used elsewhere in the home, and is also great to use for backyard sheds or garage storage racks. In fact, large chrome wire racking systems and shelves are used widely for commercial storage. Many of the industrial grade racks may just as easily be used in a good sized garage or yard shed.
The use of chrome wire can find its way in particular uses around the home. Chrome wine racks are an example, as are garment racks for the closet. Small shelving units for a bathroom, for example a corner unit in the shower area, are another possible use of chromium plated shelves. If you would benefit from a portable storage system, then 3 sided exchange trucks are a possible solution. The chrome variants are mostly designed for industrial use, but the smaller ones still usable domestically if they suit your needs.
In fact, you can do well checking out some of the commercial suppliers. Costco, for example, have a 5 tier chrome storage system and a closet organizer in the same range. An added benefit of this range, Seville, is they are easy to move around, as they have wheels fitted.
For many homes, though, it is for kitchen shelving that chrome wire is most likely to be used to good effect. It can be used inside under countertop storage, and in other low level kitchen units regardless of the design of the doors. If the pantry has a contemporary appearance, then stainless steel and chrome plated shelves and racks can be used effectively on open display. That way, they add not only to available storage, but to the modern look of the pantry too.
