Bottle holder for the kitchen: types of designs and installation methods

Comfortable organization of space in the kitchen is achieved by competent construction of the interior, orderly placement of accessories, appliances and utensils. A relatively new storage system - a bottle holder for the kitchen - will be discussed later in this article. I’ll tell you what types and sizes of cargo there are, for what purposes they are used, and how to correctly assemble a bottle holder from components according to the diagram.

Kitchen bottle holders

What it is?

Bottle holders are nothing more than pencil cases for storing various items used in the kitchen. In essence, these are roll-out or pull-out shelving boxes (often with a closer), which are built into modules of kitchen units or placed between them, or even mounted in free places in the kitchen. Based on the design features, models can have a different number of shelves; storage systems are not only horizontal, but also vertical.

These products are mounted between wall-mounted drawers or they can be floor-mounted. In addition, some modifications are installed on the floor on one of the sides of the headset.

Tips for choosing a convenient bottle holder

When purchasing you need to consider:

1. Dimensions. You need to decide on the dimensions of the product and its location. Narrow models are not designed for weights exceeding 12 kg.
2. Stylistics. The design direction of the room is taken into account.
3. It is better to give preference to high-quality fittings with galvanic coating.
4. The façade for the bottle holder should be flat and smooth.
5. To prevent utensils from breaking, you can additionally purchase special dividers.
6. The more content you plan to place in the cargo, the greater the number of shelves there should be. The first tier is designed for storing large containers, the second tier is for smaller ones.

Do you need a bottle holder in the kitchen: pros and cons

A retractable bottle holder is an indispensable and desired attribute of a modern kitchen. Despite the fact that such specific pull-out cabinets have been in use for more than a couple of years, everyone “covets” them. Even owners of small kitchens and people with a minimum budget to purchase it. Is it so convenient and irreplaceable?

Pictured is a bottle holder for the kitchen

What is stored in the bottle: sunflower oil, vinegar, sauces. In wide models you can find anything you want - spices, cereals, dishes. Some even order two bottle holders so that they can store household chemicals in the second one.

Convenience:

• all bottles in one place;
• you can fit a bunch of little things;
• completeness of the set, especially if the kitchen is of non-standard sizes: for example, there is a free space of about 20 cm - you can’t even put a drawer, and you won’t leave any free space.

Of the minuses:

• if there are small children in the house, then such a box will be empty for the first three years, or even more. It’s so interesting to constantly pull out a small drawer. In this case, you can completely forget about storing vinegar in it;
• when the bottle is less than half full, it falls when the box is opened, which is not very convenient;
• with a small kitchen area, even 15 cm to a regular drawer will not be superfluous;
• it is important to choose the right location, otherwise you can forget about the benefits of such a box;
• considerable cost. Setting up a bottle holder is not a cheap pleasure. If the budget is limited, then saving on fittings, countertops or facades is not advisable just to build in such a drawer;
• inconvenient to clean from dirt. The standard and simplest bottle holder is a regular lattice without a bottom. As the practice of most people shows, if there is sunflower oil in there, which is used constantly, dripping down to the bottom of the box along the metal grate is inevitable. Cleaning such a structure is extremely inconvenient.

Of course, everyone is guided by their own reasons when ordering and operating such a device, which can have all sorts of modifications. All that remains is to decide and choose the necessary type of filling for the mini-box for yourself.

Concept of a bottle holder

Looking at different photos, there are no special questions about what the bottle holder is needed for. Its name explains everything.

In fact, this is a narrow roll-out design that can have 2-3 levels to accommodate different bottles and more.

This is an excellent solution for the kitchen, which allows you to intelligently use bottlenecks and unused space. For example, a bottle holder can act as a separator between a refrigerator and a gas or electric stove.

Bottle holders, also called cargo, will be appropriate in a spacious kitchen and in a small Khrushchev-era apartment. Most often, the structure is installed near the sink or on the side of the stove.

Types of bottle holders for the kitchen

The classification in this case is created on the basis of several characteristics.

For example, they can be built-in, which allows you to install them in any convenient drawer of your set, or stand-alone, that is, installed separately from the kitchen furniture.

Depending on the individual characteristics of the design itself, cargo may have two levels, and this type is more in demand due to its convenience than those that consist of three levels.

This is due to the fact that three-level structures do not make it possible to store containers of various sizes.

Another simple option for a wooden wine rack is a round shelf made of plywood sheets

For this you will need:

• Two sheets of thick plywood.

Process:

We take two sheets of plywood and make round holes in them in the same places. The diameter of these holes should be slightly larger than the diameter of the bottle itself - 10-12 cm. Then we fasten two plywoods at a distance of 15-20 cm from each other.

The holes can either be scattered across the entire area in chaos, or they can be arranged in any specific order. It's up to your discretion. Also, if desired, the shelf can be painted or some accessories can be added: additional carved elements, artificial fruits, etc.

What kind of kitchen is a cargo bottle holder suitable for?

This piece of furniture is ideal as a useful space-filler for any kitchen module. This practical, spacious basket is ideal for non-standard, small-sized kitchens.

Bottle maker in the kitchen interior, photo ideas:

For example, you decided to save money and bought a ready-made kitchen. There is still free space between the cabinet and the wall, or there is an empty corner between the cabinets. The situation will be saved by a bottle holder for the kitchen with a façade that matches your color and texture.

We suggest starting your search by choosing the type of mounting for the retractable system.

Wine rack

For this you will need:

• Sanded birch plywood sheet (1.5m*1.5m);
• Propylene black rope;
• Dowels (thickness −4mm);
• Sanding paper (120cm and 220cm);
• Acrylic impregnation for wood;
• Brush;
• Old laminate (for template).

Process:

We cut the plywood lengthwise so that you get 5 vertical elements. Then we cut out a round hole with a diameter of 10-12 cm from a piece of old laminate, which we will use in the future as a template.

Using this template, we measure and draw circles on vertical sheets of plywood. Next, we make a hole inside each circle so that we can freely insert a jigsaw into it and then cut out holes for bottles with it. But it’s worth making these holes a little smaller than you originally drew.

Next, using a cutter, we bring the circles to the finished form, that is, we adjust them to your template.

The next step is to cut out the top and bottom covers of the shelf-rack and, again, using a cutter, make grooves so that their thickness is the same as the thickness of the plywood. This is necessary so that the vertical sheets fit into the grooves as tightly as possible.

After this, we make a 6mm rounding on all holes and edges of the parts using a router. At this stage, your wine rack is already starting to look like an almost finished product.

At this point in the process, you can give your imagination a reason to run wild. What can be done to prevent bottles from falling out? As an option - a mesh of rope on the holes in the outermost vertical wall.

We mark the holes, then drill holes where we will subsequently insert the rope and treat them with a sanding attachment so that the rope does not catch and does not break off pieces of the plywood sheet. We sand your almost finished product using a sanding machine.

Now you can paint the wine rack in the color you like along the grain with a regular brush.

To complete the process, we drill holes for dowels in the top and bottom covers, glue them in and in this way connect all the vertical and horizontal parts of the shelf-rack.

Let the glue dry. This will take at least a day. Then we lace up the holes in the back wall with rope, ribbon or whatever you like best. Your wine rack is ready! You can arrange the wine.

Advantages and disadvantages of cargo bottles

Compact bottle storage systems installed in the kitchen have their advantages and disadvantages. The first include:

• space optimization;
• the most necessary items are always at hand;
• ease of use;
• compactness;
• simplicity and durability of the design;
• the ability to fill voids that may form when installing a standard kitchen unit;
• installation of the façade ensures that the structure blends in with the rest of the furniture and provides an excellent appearance.

With a bottle holder in the kitchen, everything you need will always be at hand

Most consumers consider the only drawback to be the high price of a bottle holder for the kitchen, which largely depends on the material, the complexity of the design and the retractable mechanism.

Many people recognize the high cost of construction as the main disadvantage.

Let's sum it up

For many housewives, a bottle holder for the kitchen has become an integral part of the interior and a multifunctional element.

This element of kitchen design allows you to optimize the space of the room. The storage conditions for kitchen items are observed.

Saves time on cooking. This is due to the orderly arrangement of various containers and bags of products. Jars and other small things are not scattered in different places in the room. Cleanliness and order are maintained in the kitchen.

There are enough reasons listed to agree: cargo is a necessary and useful thing in the kitchen. In addition, the bottle holder will significantly decorate the interior of the room, regardless of its size. This is a piece of furniture that makes the housewife’s work easier in the kitchen.

Is it worth paying for the brand?

In more expensive cargo models, the price is paid not only for a big name, but also for a proven design, impeccable execution and a long service life (good fittings will last you 15 years, or even more).

There may be surprises when purchasing cheap accessories. For example, one of my friends decided to save money and was faced with the fact that bottles in a cheap basket fell every time when opened.

When ordering a kitchen in a showroom, keep in mind that the furniture manufacturer may add its own markup on fittings, and they may cost more than in online stores or construction hypermarkets.

Stand for wine bottles made from tin cans

For this you will need:

• glue;
• spray paint;
• fabric (so as not to smear everything around with paint);
• canning knife;
• cardboard;
• tin cans 8-12 pieces (absolutely any cans will do: peas, corn, beans, etc.).

Process:

First of all, we clean the jars of labels: soak them in warm water, as this will help remove the paper from the surface quickly and will not allow small shreds to remain. Next, dry the clean jars.

Then you need to cut out the bottom of the can, and process the sharp edges and bend them inside the can.

Place the jar on a stand and apply paint first to the inside and outside. When the jar is dry, start applying paint to the outer edges and leave to dry again.

The number of jars used depends on how many tiers in the stand you planned to make.

After all the jars have dried, we begin to assemble the structure. We make the first row and fasten the jars together with superglue. We fix this row with clothespins, glue the subsequent rows and let it dry.

Ready!

Making a bottle holder with your own hands

Before you start creating this headset element yourself, you need to determine where it will be located.

It’s one thing when you order the manufacture of kitchen furniture individually, and design its location in advance - where it will be harmoniously located and look as natural as possible due to uniform facades. It's a completely different matter when you want to make an addition to an existing set.

In the second case, you will have to think about how to fit it harmoniously into the interior.

The options may be the following:

• The location of the metal cargo block in the lower (less often upper) cabinet, taking into account its size. Thus, the bottle holder will have no external facade, and will be closed by a standard cabinet door.
• You can replace the outdated facades of the entire set, and in the process add a special box, lined with a single facade, in which the cargo structure will be mounted. You can place it in a convenient place - for example, between the elements of the headset.
• If the previous options are not suitable, all that remains is to make a free-standing structure and place it in a suitable place.

For the most part, these devices are made of wooden or wood-imitating panels, as well as furniture facades (or similar in color and design).

A self-created structure has an undeniable cost advantage, because all materials are affordable. In addition, you are completely free to choose the size of the retractable part, whereas manufactured products may have size restrictions.

Another advantage is the possibility of self-design.

Tips for making

Below are recommendations for those who decide to make cargo with their own hands:

1. At the design stage, it is necessary to plan the load . The narrow version of the design can withstand much less weight than wider elements.
2. By purchasing special soft separators, you can minimize beating and ringing when bottles and dishes come into contact.
3. It is recommended to use door closers. They allow you to make the design silent.
4. It is better to trust the quality when choosing accessories. The more reliable the coating of the material, the less likely it is for chips, abrasions and rust to occur.

When making cargo with your own hands, you need to pay attention to accurate drawings at the design stage. If measurements are taken incorrectly, the design may not work correctly in the future. It is worth considering that the inside of the bottle holder is not only made of metal. It can also be made from wooden rods or even using the macrame weaving technique. When creating furniture with your own hands, the flight of imagination is endless.

Cargo as an item for arranging containers has been used in modern kitchens relatively recently. However, thanks to its high functionality and convenience, the bottle holder has become a popular piece of kitchen furniture in a short period of time. It allows you to use even the smallest space in the room rationally and conveniently. Any housewife will like this, because you can place everything you need at hand.

Design

Most often, two- or three-level iron baskets . The first ones are especially popular - classic two-level cargo, which perfectly accommodates drinks, oils and seasonings in bottle containers of various sizes.

Three-tier baskets are more suitable for cans, boxes and other non-vertical kitchen items.

multi-level bottle holders that are almost human-sized may be relevant

Bottle holder as a type of kitchen cabinet

If the inhabitants of an apartment (house) are accustomed to keeping towels in a bottle holder, it is best to equip it with a towel holder .

Towel holders inside cargo: ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing

To prevent the glassware inside the cargo from falling or clinking when pulled out or turned, it is advisable to have bottle dividers inside.

And for complete comfort in using a roll-out basket, you need to choose models equipped with closers and devices for soft, silent closing.

Dimensions

Typical cargo dimensions are 100 – 200 mm with an interval of 50 mm. However, it must be taken into account that in stores the price tags indicating the width of the bottle holders mean the parameters not of the products themselves, but of the boxes or niches where they will be built. For example, if you see a bottle holder on sale labeled “200 mm wide,” you can safely buy it for a cabinet with a front width of 200 mm.

Non-standard cargo sizes can reach up to 450 mm. In such baskets it is convenient to hold not so much bottles as bulky culinary items - pots, pans, cauldrons and even household appliances. For example, to get a large saucepan that is rarely used from the depths of the cabinet, you don’t have to stir up a pile of dishes - just pull out the cargo and the necessary item will be at hand.

Mounting method

Bottle holders that are mounted inside a furniture box or in a niche in a room are called built-in . As a rule, they are hidden by kitchen facades and are convenient because they allow ergonomic use of a narrow space that is not suitable for other purposes.

Built-in cargo also differs in the location of fixation. The most stable and reliable is the side cargo fastening, in which the guide rails are located to the left and right of the roll-out basket.

It happens that in a narrow box there is not enough space for side fixation, then the bottom one is used. In this case, the rails are attached to the bottom of the furniture body or directly to the floor, which must be perfectly flat and smooth.

There are also autonomous cargo . They can be either stationary or mobile (roll-out or portable). It is convenient to change the location of the latter depending on the situation. For example, when receiving guests, a bottle of drinks can be placed at the dining table, and then put away in the pantry.

Stand-alone models are often made to look antique

How to choose

The price of roll-out baskets, identical in size and configuration, can differ significantly. What explains this? First of all, the brand’s popularity and the quality of the fittings. To the upper price category - from 10 thousand rubles. and above, as a rule, include products of German and Austrian production. This is cargo from brands such as Blum, Hettich, Kessebohmer. The average price segment is from 3 to 10 thousand rubles. – bottle bottlers from Italian (Vibo), Polish (Rejs) and some German (Vault-Sagel) factories are often represented. Economy class options - from 2 to 3 thousand rubles. – usually offered by Chinese manufacturers. What is the functional difference between expensive and budget models? The first ones are as ergonomic and comfortable to use as possible. Their rods do not rust from moisture and do not bend under slight overload (over 12 kg). They close smoothly, softly and quietly after a light touch. Expensive fittings mean not only convenience, but also a long, at least 15 years, service life of the products. Such bottle holders can be installed in a kitchen with a bar cabinet, for example, as here.

And the most budget bottle holders do not have closers, do not extend completely and are usually used for no longer than 2 – 5 years. However, even when buying cargo in the upper price category, you can save money. To do this, it is enough to purchase it separately from the kitchen set - in a showroom or online store. If you order a bottle holder complete with a set, you will have to pay a markup on the furniture “filling”, which is installed by trading companies. Here you can get acquainted with different styles of kitchens for which bottle holders are suitable.

Cargo installation method

Differences in cargo models are possible not only in their sizes and methods of fastening, but also in the location and number of shelves. For installation, you can choose one of three options:

The most common is side mounting. The design is securely fastened in the closet; in addition, the façade can be adjusted if necessary.

If the basket is very heavy and large, it must be secured from below. Such a bottle holder will look like a retractable platform on rollers.

You can find quite non-standard solutions PHOTO: vseme.ru

If the storage area is equipped in a side drawer, it is necessary to use a rotating fastening method. This method has only one disadvantage - expensive installation and the high cost of the mechanism itself.

How to choose?

When choosing the most suitable design, you need to consider the following points.

• Items that you plan to store in cargo.
• The weight you will need to accommodate. The selection of the required material and the type of fittings used will directly depend on this.
• The dimensions of the space you want to fill.
• Budget purchase: the option you want to choose for this is inexpensive, or you will be satisfied with a more expensive solution.

There are basic parameters for choosing the right cargo, there are only two of them.

• Size. In order to store containers with oil and small spices in your cargo, a small 100 mm bottle holder will be enough for you. If you also want to place detergents there, as well as various cleaning accessories, then it is better to choose medium-width cargo - up to 150 mm.
• Number of shelves. Standard bottle holders have 2 shelves. The lower one is reserved for bottles, the upper one is for oversized containers.

Load capacity

Narrow, medium-sized bottle holders can support a maximum of 12 kilograms of weight. If you need to store large pots and pans, you should give preference to cargo with a width of up to 300 mm and storage of items up to 40 kg.

The first thing you need to pay attention to when purchasing parts and installation is the possible load on the basket PHOTO: cache3.youla.io

Location options

The place where the basket will be located is selected taking into account the weight and quantity of dishes that will be installed in the departments. If we are talking about placing household chemicals and towels, it is best to install “cargo” near the sink.

If you need to choose the optimal place for seasonings, spices and oils, installing the structure would be appropriate near the kitchen stove. You should also pay attention to the method of fastening.

Bottom cabinet

The most common and simplest option is the lower basket arrangement. In this case, the basket can be used for different purposes; it will prove to be a practical accessory in any interior. All the housewife needs to do while preparing food is to open the compartment conveniently located at hand and take out the dishes with the necessary contents.

Where to place kitchen models: photos of models and options

To install the bottle holder you need to choose the right place. If the structure will store jars of oil, spices and cereals, it is advisable to place the cargo near the stove to make it convenient to remove the jars.

Lower and upper bottle cabinets for the kitchen

But the most popular option is to place a storage area in the lower tier of the kitchen. In this case, the cargo is built into the box when installing the headset itself.

A bottle holder in the upper section of the kitchen is most often placed for things that are not often used - ladle, pots, napkins and empty containers, as well as alcohol.

The most convenient option is a rotating design PHOTO: 100fabrik.ru

Pencil case for tall bottle holders

True connoisseurs of minimalism and free space prefer tall and very roomy cargo, because they can accommodate a huge number of different kitchen items and clear the entire area of ​​rarely used spices, containers, and gloves.

Manufacturers

Let's look at examples of worthy cargo producers.

• Vibo. This is a well-known Italian manufacturer of high-quality kitchen fittings. Making the most efficient use of any space is the principle that is used here when creating designs. In the product line you can find many different interesting options for any original idea.
• Bloom. A company from Austria specializing in the production of retractable systems. Blum Tandembox plus is a special line of bottle holder models that will appeal to any discerning housewife.
• Kessebohmer. A company from Germany that produces high-quality kitchen fittings. The main difference from the products of other companies is that its products immediately catch the eye with the creativity of their functionality and design.

Many bottle holder designs have a complex structure, which helps to use kitchen space most efficiently. You can choose good solutions from less famous brands. Pay special attention to systems from brands such as Kalibra, Chianti, and FGV - they will be distinguished by good quality, durable coatings and smoothness of the door closers used.

The design of bottle holders with the correct size and depth will allow you to hide excellent storage spaces behind the stylish facade of the kitchen unit, while optimizing the work space and making the most of the emptiness in the cabinets.

To learn how to attach the bottle holder, watch the video below.

Questions and answers

My kitchen is in a classic style, chrome and plastic will not work. Which bottle holder should you choose?

Pay attention to baskets and shelves coated in bronze: such modules are found in high-status collections of leading brands. Bronze goes especially beautifully with dark wood: wenge, walnut, rosewood, oak.

There is a small kitchen with a very awkward configuration. I plan to make the most of the entire space and order tall cabinets. Will a pop-out bottle holder fit?

Yes, you can order a module for a tall cabinet, but decide in advance whether it will be convenient to use the upper shelves. It might make sense to save money and install 2-3 cargo shelves in a row of floor cabinets. If necessary, you can place 2 modules at different ends of the kitchen.

Can you store wine bottles in a pull-out bottle holder?

To store closed bottles of wine, it is better to choose special designs with horizontal lattice shelves or recesses; this will protect the corks from drying out and preserve the quality of the drink. But bottles with cognac and other strong drinks can be stored vertically, but in this case it is better to place the structure away from the stove.

Is it worth paying extra for a full extension system?

If the cargo does not extend completely, up to a third of the usable interior space is not used. In addition, such a bottle holder is difficult to clean if it gets dirty. You shouldn’t deprive yourself of amenities for the sake of saving a little money. Don’t forget about the door closers: they are irreplaceable if you constantly use cargo.

We bought a bottle holder with a chrome finish, but after a few months it became cloudy and rust appeared on the joints. What is the reason?

The most durable coating is applied by galvanic means: such bottle holders are produced by German and Spanish companies. Unfortunately, such designs are more expensive.

When choosing a bottle holder for the kitchen, consider not only the size and appearance; for optimal use, you need to take into account all the parameters. A high-quality product from a reputable brand is guaranteed to last 8-10 years and will not require repairs; inexpensive modules will have to be replaced every 2-3 years.

Advantages of self-production

If you make a bottle holder yourself, there are no size restrictions. You can create a storage system that will satisfy all your needs. At the same time, you will be able to save money, because you will not have to pay the craftsmen for the work. The design of the cargo also depends entirely on your taste and requirements.

A bottle holder is a convenient addition to the functionality of the kitchen. It allows you to save space without sacrificing storage space.

Cleaning will become easier because you don’t have to constantly sort through and put small items in their places.

This design can be placed at the level of upper or lower cabinets, as a column or as a separate element. It can be located in different zones, on which its content will depend.

If for some reason you don’t want to buy a ready-made bottle holder or make one to order, you can try to assemble it yourself. This task requires certain skills, but in general, the process is not difficult, and the result will please you every day.

Why is it needed?

A bottle holder or cargo holder is a retractable or roll-out design included in the kitchen cabinet system. It is not included in the basic package of inexpensive headsets, but many users order cargo separately.

The advantages of the design are obvious:

• compactness;
• the ability to place bottles and other containers of any height and volume;
• mobility;
• ease of use;
• ease of installation and dismantling;
• variety of models and style solutions.

The main disadvantage of cargo systems is their high price. You can save money by making a bottle holder yourself or ordering an internal module from the simplest materials.

Modules for bottles can be built into ready-made cabinets; there is no need to buy new cabinets. The structure can be placed in “dead zones” that are difficult to use, for example, in corners. The roll-out bottle holder fits perfectly into narrow openings and gaps between standard cabinets. It can easily fit behind the false panel and will help save scarce space.

Ready-made or homemade bottle holders are needed for storing various containers that are inconvenient to place on regular shelves and drawers. The narrow panels are equipped with high sides to prevent accidental falls.

In the bottle holder you can store stocks of cereals and spices, various vertical packages, napkins, cutlery and other necessary little things.

In furniture and household departments it is easy to purchase special holders for narrow bottles, lids, baking sheets, and paper towels.

A correctly selected roll-out module will allow you to maintain order in the kitchen, relieve work surfaces and organize the contents of cabinets.

The nuances of making a bottle holder for a kitchen set

Assembling a bottle holder with a side right mount has a simple and intuitive algorithm of actions.

Important! To level out the smooth running of the bottle holder, tighten the flag located on the back side of the structure. You can use a screwdriver for this. Leave the flag in a position in which the base will extend smoothly and without interference.

The video below will tell you how to assemble a side-mounted bottle holder and how to adjust it correctly.

If you need to remove the bottle holder in the kitchen set, then by performing this algorithm of actions in reverse order, you can easily complete your mission. But how much it is needed in the kitchen is up to each housewife to decide. Fashion is fashion, and everyone has their own criteria for comfort and convenience.
