Bottle holder and features of its choice for the kitchen. How to make it yourself

What is a bottle holder and is it needed in the kitchen?

Another name for a bottle holder is cargo. This is a multifunctional and very convenient item in the kitchen. A metal basket is twisted from thick spiral wire, which is additionally equipped with a furniture facade. The storage system is built into the kitchen unit and does not stand somewhere on the table or on the floor, taking up space.

Cargo stores not only bottles, but also spices, jars of cereals and oils, and containers.

Which bottle holder is better to buy for the kitchen?

For a kitchen set, its functionality is first and foremost important, and only then – beauty and style. This also applies to the bottle holder. Its effective use directly depends on how correctly it is selected. Let's look at the basic principles that you should rely on when selecting bottle holder designs.

According to the size and number of bottle holder shelves in the kitchen set

There are basic parameters for selecting cargo for a headset that need to be thought through in advance.

• Size.
  To store a bottle of oil and small spices, a 100 mm bottle holder is sufficient. If you plan to place detergents and detergents there, then it is better to opt for medium-width cargo - 150 mm.

Cabinets 200 mm wide can easily accommodate cereals and other products. In wider bottle holders you can store entire sets.

• Number of shelves.
  Standard cargo has two shelves. The lower one is for tall bottles, the upper one is for small containers.

Three-tier designs are convenient for those who constantly keep many small containers with spices and sauces on hand. There are also single-tier bottle holders, where on the top of the basket there is space for towels and napkins, and in the bottom - for tall containers.

Note!

If the fittings are of high quality, then the height of the existing shelves can be adjusted independently.

By mounting method

From the wide range of kitchen bottle holders, only two types of fastening can be distinguished:

• lower.
  Relevant for wide baskets that can withstand heavy filling weight. Allows placement in any part of the kitchen unit.
• lateral.
  This installation method is relevant for cargo with a width of no more than 2500 mm. It features more flexible adjustment of facades and reliable fixation of fittings.

As for the independent collection and installation of bottle holders, there are no obstacles, either for one or for the other type.

Why you shouldn't buy an IKEA kitchen now. Perhaps earlier the quality control of IKEA in Russia was higher, but now... We fell for the ease of assembly, the compatibility of elements and the supposed quality of IKEA kitchens, and of course the price, slightly lower than similar ones made to order (don’t believe those who sing the song that IKEA kitchen 2 or even 3 times cheaper (even taking into account ongoing promotions), this is not true). We assembled the kitchen ourselves, DO NOT BELIEVE statements about the ease of assembly, just what does it cost to install 27 handles for which there are no fittings. There is also no normal upper (3rd tier) corner cabinet; it is assembled from two ordinary ones with an insert that must be measured and cut out. You also need to understand that all these extra holes (additive) that IKEA drills (shelves, standard cheap plastic legs, etc.) in order to unify production will eventually become a place where formaldehyde will “stink”. And if before they gave out rivets, now it costs 100 pieces ~ 50 rubles. One cabinet requires about 50 rivets.

During assembly, the following were discovered: 1. Visible irregularities in the assembled cabinets. 2. On ALL frames, glue comes out from the edges of the chipboard. It's sticky, dirt sticks to it, and the drawers are white. All this will have to be scrubbed off. Where on the Internet they write that all chipboards for IKEA are made in Russia, apparently quality is connected with this. 3. The kitchen is large, 3 countertops were joined, 2 countertops were normal, and on the 3rd countertop, checkmarks were drawn with a permanent marker. The tabletop was in the original packaging, it seems that they found some kind of defect, marked it, possibly corrected it and packed it. IKEA refused to exchange the tabletop! 3.1. As for the edge of the tabletop, there is also glue coming out here, BUT there is much more of it; on the front side of the tabletop you can find pieces of stuck glue that does not come off. 4. IKEA saves on the back walls; as a rule, they consist of 2 parts glued together with tape. The exception was the dryer, there is a solid back wall, but it is a different shade of white (grayer) from all the others. 5. IKEA cabinets are assembled in such a way that the eccentrics are visible from the bottom; for the lower cabinets, this is normal, and the upper cabinets are decorated with metal. 6. The facades also have traces of glue, or something else that “magnetizes dirt,” but only in places, although all facades are marked “made in Italy.” As a result, dirty streaks are visible on white facades.

Thus, all the reviews where everyone is simply delighted with the IKEA kitchen look like they were paid for. Other manufacturers also have fittings with closers and beautiful facades. It’s also worth considering that if earlier there wasn’t a single “extra stud” in IKEA furniture, now it remains... just like in Russian furniture...

When we talk about bottle bottles, for some reason we always mean alcoholic drinks. Some will say that this is a completely useless gadget in the kitchen, because it does not drink alcohol. This is a rather narrow outlook, because the bottle holder exists not only for bottles of vintage wine or champagne. Let's take a closer look, analyze it, and most importantly, take a close look at the photo. Moreover, the catalogs of many well-known retail outlets offer a variety of options for bottle holders. For example, Ikea. There are several types and formats of this “device”. Therefore, it is worth getting to know him better, and then making a choice.

So, perhaps, it is in the kitchen that the functionality of interior items is very important. Beauty is beauty, but when it doesn’t allow you to cook food comfortably, you involuntarily begin to scold both beauty and yourself for choosing appearance over substance. Any housewife will confirm this. Therefore, you should not skimp on the convenience of the kitchen. Especially if we talk about Ikea, with their sometimes ridiculous prices, you will also get savings.

Advantages and disadvantages of cargo bottles

Systems for compact storage of various devices have many advantages:

• small size, which allows you to place the basket in any closet;
• availability of all necessary items at hand;
• organizing space even in a small kitchen;
• convenience;
• the design is simple and durable;
• filling all voids created during the installation of kitchen furniture;
• creating a beautiful appearance of the kitchen by merging the rest of the furniture with this design.

The only drawback of the design can only be its high price. Much depends on the type of construction and material used, but you can avoid spending money and do the same with your own hands.

Varieties and design

First of all, it is worth noting that there are several types of this fittings. They differ from each other in their sizes and methods of installation inside furniture. Moreover, each specific type may have its own separate purpose, not directly related to its name.

Pull-out panel 100 mm wide

Dimensions

Typically, the size of a bottle holder for the kitchen is chosen solely for the convenience of placing this device in the cabinet (see also the article on the size of kitchen cabinets).

However, some manufacturers pay special attention to it, suggesting that it will become not only auxiliary equipment for storing small utensils, but also the main storage for plates and other small utensils

• Large boxes are usually made 200 mm wide. In this case, several shelves are located in the standard section. They are convenient for placing plates, cups, cutlery and a host of other kitchen items.
• Medium bottle holders are used for various boxes, jars, powders and other utensils. They have a lot of purposes and an optimal width of 150 mm. Moreover, this size can be considered the maximum when installing fittings using the side fastening method.
• The third most common bottle container width size is 100 mm. It is used in cases where it is necessary to save space in the volume of furniture. Moreover, its purpose justifies its name perfectly, since this device can only accommodate bottles, boxes of spices or small containers.

Pull-out panel 200 mm wide

Side mount

This type of similar fittings uses a fastening that involves placing guides on the side panel inside the cabinet. In this case, it is best to use devices with a width of no more than 150 mm.

This allows you to place the maximum amount of necessary kitchen utensils and at the same time does not provide a lot of space to overload the load-bearing elements.

• First you need to choose a kitchen cabinet where the bottle holder will be placed. In some furniture models, a separate compartment is allocated for this, but if you make the set yourself, then you can use any box in which an additional partition is simply installed.
• After this, the guides are secured to the inner wall using fasteners that are included with the device. If they are not available, then you can use small self-tapping screws designed for working on wood no more than 1 cm long.

• Next, you need to install the bottle holder itself, as shown in the instructions for this model.
• After this, you need to attach a pre-prepared facade panel, which will serve as a kind of door.
• If desired, you can attach a small handle to the resulting door.

Bottom mount

This device is much more practical than the one that uses a side mount. However, its price may be much higher.

This is due to the fact that this design requires the presence of a special trolley with rollers, on which the bottle holder itself is placed.

• The choice of installation location also differs from the first model. This device does not require a separate cabinet for the kitchen, but rather is designed to be installed between them.
• Depending on the specific model, it is necessary to secure the guides or cart using the instructions or the photo included in the manual. It is worth noting that there are many options for this action, and all of them are closely related to the selected design. That is why it is impossible to select general instructions for this stage of installation.
• When the bottle holder is fixed, a facade panel is attached to it, which matches the interior of the kitchen.
• After this, a handle is mounted on the resulting door, with the help of which the opening will be carried out.

Types of kitchen bottle storage systems

There are several criteria by which bottle holders for the kitchen differ: installation method, material, number of shelves and storage areas, design.

At first glance it may seem that cargo is a very simple item, but this is not so PHOTO: remont-samomy.ru

Built-in bottle storage modules

When choosing the type of bottle holder, you need to take measurements and take into account the height and depth of the furniture in the future. If there is free space, you can build cargo into an existing cabinet rather than installing a new one.

Autonomous structures

Most often, bottle holders from manufacturers are a separate element and a full-fledged storage area. It is installed in the kitchen or dining area and takes up some space.

How to install a bottle holder in the kitchen (video)

A bottle holder is a useful accessory that allows you to effectively use small spaces, provide convenient storage for bottles of inexpensive alcohol or vinegar and vegetable oil, or sauces or containers with household chemicals. Bottle holders can be built into the upper or lower tiers of the kitchen set. To store expensive alcohol, it is better to have separate bottle holders, which will serve as both storage and a decorative element of the interior and will allow you to maintain the correct storage conditions for the drink.

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.

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.

Where are the bottle holders located?

Not only the ease of use of it, but also, in principle, the relevance of its use depends on where the bottle holder is located. Therefore, before purchasing, it is advisable to clearly determine where it will be located.

Upper and lower cabinets

Near or in lower drawers - these are the most common locations for bottle holders. Of course, this is also influenced by the nature of the filling.

For those who do not want to bend over every time for frequently used utensils or products, place this design in the upper cabinets. The solution is non-standard and more suitable for tall owners.

Another location option is the middle zone between the upper and lower cabinets. Yes, such a cabinet will look awkward in the middle of the set, but next to it or a pencil case it’s quite laconic. One of the disadvantages is that such a cabinet “eats up”. But everything you need is always at hand.

Separate column cabinets for tall bottle holders for the kitchen

Columns, or sliding cabinets, are an independent storage system. They can be made as a single structure, or have several drawers.

You can order a similar cabinet as a built-in unit. It is also possible to purchase it separately and install it yourself. At the same time, the choice of facades for such ready-made cabinets is quite large.

The most convenient placement of such a column cabinet is next to the refrigerator. Quite a convenient element of the headset. You can easily place all your jars, canned goods, alcohol in it, and you never know what else you can put in there. It all depends on the size. Typically, the height varies from 1200 to 1450 mm, while the width of the facade is 300 mm. The filling can be different - from three to six standard shelves for bottles, the presence of closers for smooth closing, additional storage elements, ordinary ones, supplemented by drawers.

Purchasing such a full-size bottle holder is really expensive. For example, a bottle holder for the kitchen with a height of 1200 mm, a front width of 300 mm and four regular shelves of the Titan Arena brand will have a price of 30,000 rubles.

If desired, you can assemble a similar structure yourself from ordinary furniture material. All that remains is to find the appropriate content and carefully study the video master class presented below.

Standard sizes of bottle holders for the kitchen

You need to choose the size of the cargo taking into account where this structure will be located. There are small, medium and large bottle holders.

The standard option is cargo width 100-200 mm. The choice of height and depth is carried out individually, since these parameters need to be adjusted to the connectors of the box where the storage area will be mounted.

Cargo and bottle systems - storage classification

The offered storage systems are divided into varieties depending on the following parameters:

• overall dimensions. The determining parameter is the width. The most common bottle holders are up to 10 cm wide. With this size, you can always find a place for them in the kitchen space. To store packages, capacious boxes and other large items, cargo with a width of 15-20 cm is used. To place kitchen utensils and other utensils, it is convenient to use wide bottle holders with a shelf size of more than 20 cm;
• installation method and location. Storages are divided into built-in and stand-alone. Built-in sectional baskets are secured inside kitchen furniture using metal guides. Fixation can be done from the side or bottom. It is also possible to install an autonomous cargo system on the floor if there is a perfectly flat floor surface;
• number of levels. The capacity of the system depends on the number of shelves. Single-level cargo containers are used for tall items, as well as bottle holders with two, three or four shelves. Dividing the storage into several zones and using multi-level shelves allows you to conveniently arrange the necessary items.

When thinking about purchasing a sliding section, you should take into account its design, quality of fittings and purpose.

Along with universal multi-purpose bottle holders, you can purchase special cargo containers for storing spices, cutlery, oils and bottles.

Give preference to metal systems that are strong and durable.

Choosing a suitable bottle holder is not difficult, since systems are offered in an expanded range by many manufacturers.

How to choose and buy a bottle holder for the kitchen

You need to think about the size of the bottle holder even before the kitchen set is installed. The ideal time is at the design stage.

However, you can insert the structure into a ready-made cabinet, but to do this you will have to accurately calculate the length and width down to the millimeter.

Location options

There are several ways to place bottle holders. As a rule, it depends on what exactly you plan to use it for.

There are two main types:

• built-in;
• autonomous.

The first model is suitable for installation in a kitchen cabinet. The stand-alone design is independent of your existing headset. Install it in any place. This is a completely independent element from the kitchen design. Bottle holders are also distinguished by the number of shelves:

• two-level;
• three-level.

In the first case, you can place tall bottles. Three-tier cargos are designed for a larger number of items, but they have height restrictions. When choosing one option or another, you need to focus on what exactly you plan to place. For small containers or dishes, a three-tier bottle holder is perfect. And for standard containers with vegetable oil, it is better to choose an option with fewer floors.

Bottom cabinet

This area is suitable for storing cargo for detergents, oils in tall and bulky containers, bottles of wine and other alcoholic beverages. It is convenient to store not only utensils, but also kitchen towels. It is advisable to place cargo near a sink or washing machine. Dishwashing detergents will always be at hand.

Upper cabinet

In this part of the kitchen furniture, bottle holders are often used for spices and seasonings. This keeps the herbs clean and tidy - no moisture or contaminants will get into them. It is convenient to place the cargo close to the hob.

Column cabinet

This installation option is an advantageous design solution for almost any kitchen. This arrangement is planned at the design stage of the headset. In order for everything to look harmonious, consider placing the bottle holder next to a single façade. Also, cargo in the form of a column cabinet is often located near the refrigerator.

Choosing a bottle holder in a kitchen set by size and number of shelves

When choosing, you must take into account the dimensions of the box itself and the structure as a whole into which the storage area will be inserted. A mandatory requirement is that the width of the basket should be slightly less than the width of the cabinet or cabinet itself. If the bottle holder will stand alone, then you need to take into account the dimensions of the visit itself and choose the most suitable place for its installation. Baskets with a width of 100 to 300 mm are very popular.

The choice of basket largely depends on the dimensions of the cabinet PHOTO: mirmebel.by

You need to decide how many shelves there will be in the cargo in advance, even before installation. The distance between them should be calculated taking into account the height of the cabinet. The best option for a small room is two- or three-tier bottle holders with a retractable mechanism.

Making a bottle holder from chipboard with your own hands

It’s easiest to make cargo from laminated chipboard at home. It is better to choose the color of the slab the same as the base for the kitchen as a whole, but if you have any difficulties with this, any other color will do, preferably darker.

Let's look at the step-by-step assembly of a block with a double-sided asymmetrical arrangement of a retractable mechanism and a side wall.

• Cut the sidewall 580x460
• Prepare the strips for the sides. 4 short (90×242) and 2 long (90×428).
• The bottom will be inserted inside the tier, its dimensions are 428x226
• All parts, except the bottom plate, need to be covered with an edge.

The facade is mounted with self-tapping screws (30 mm) from the front of the module through short strips.

Designations of homemade cargo components

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.
