Newspaper Racks: Say Good-Bye to Paper Chaos

Newspaper Racks: Say Good-Bye to Paper Chaos

The weekly gossip rags, the daily newspaper or your favorite novel: every bookworm should have a newspaper rack. They maintain order, and can either be attached to the wall to save space (also often called newspaper holders), or be decoratively arranged on the floor. Stylight can help you decide which newspaper rack is the right one or you.

For magazines

  • Design: Design pieces are ideal newspaper racks for favorites that should be openly displayed: futuristic models or racks that can be mounted to a wall. Tip: Pretty magazine covers can be used instead of works of art or pictures.
  • Materials: Anything that has an open design and is transparent, like stands made of plexiglass, stainless steel baskets, or stand-up displays with a wooden look.
  • Where to put it: Anywhere where you like to take time to have a pleasant read. You could put it in the living room next to the sofa, or in the bathroom next to the tub or toilet.

For books

  • Design: Large stands and newspaper racks which almost look like shelves. Tip: Two-in-one: side tables with integrated newspaper holders save space.
  • Materials: Baskets and stands made of metal, such as stainless steel. A copper or gold coating looks warmer than silver. Alternatives: stands made of lacquered wood for less modern decors.
  • Where to put it: Give it a central spot on the wall. That way your favorite books are always within sight. In addition to the living room, the study is also an ideal place.

For newspapers

  • Design: Because of their formats, newspapers are often rolled up, folded or crumpled. Large baskets, bags or barrels are perfect for them. Tip: Some come with handles. These are handy for carrying old newspapers directly to the recycling trash.
  • Materials: Baskets made of soft used leather with a vintage look and felt bags in Scandinavian styles. Tip: Small plastic barrels go well in down-to-earth (child-friendly) interiors.
  • Where to put it: For a good start to your day, put a newspaper rack in your kitchen within reach of the breakfast nook.

If visitors arrive unexpectedly, magazines, books and newspapers can quickly disappear onto a newspaper rack. Whether you’re more into books or gossip mags, your options include futuristic metal stands, wooden varieties or fabric baskets.

Maintaining order made easy: newspaper racks for magazines, newspapers and the like.
