Most homeowners have long forgotten about the good old dish rack, so incomplete is a kitchen today without a built-in dishwasher. But dish racks can be the perfect chore-mate for tiny kitchens where space premiums–or budgets–don’t make a dishwasher reasonable, for the less-modern summer cabin, or for anyone who occasionally whips through a few dirty dishes between loads. Dish racks are usually equipped with slots and gaps so that dishes can be kept in a standing position and glasses can be placed upside down to facilitate the drainage of any water. In this post, we will present you with 10 Modern and Functional Dish Rack Designs. Hope you find it useful.
