Hi all!

I am wanting to display my RUFTH trivets (I am purchasing some so I have 2 of this current one and 2 of the one coming out in F/W catalog...) on my soffett (sp?) that is above my kitchen cabinets.

Has anyone done this? What type of a hook or hanging mechanism did you use? Looking at it, it seems like no matter what I use, you will be able to see it through the trivet. I don't want it to look tacky!

I am very excited to do this...we just painted our kitchen a beautiful sage green and the color of the trivets looks stunning against the green! I can't wait for more designs to come out now! I never collected the stoneware molds for display...only cuz they didn't thrill me. I LOVE our new trivets!!
 
Kelly,
when i used to hang the stoneware Ihung them from a pretty ribbon and the bow hid nail.
 
Kelly, I just used a nail, but it had a smaller head. You really couldn't see it. I really like Teresa's idea of using a bow though.
 
How about a small plate hanger - the kind that's used for collector plates. You can find them in different finishes, and they barely show anyway. (DH has about 30 collectible plates, although we don't have them up in the house right now. I'll give you 2 guesses what they are...)
 
In the product room they had one hung by a nail. Could you paint it the color of your kitchen walls?

When I hung mine. I used a very small nail, took a black permanent marker and colored the head of the nail. You cannot even notice the nail.
 
I hung mine with a small nail. They look so pretty up on the wall!:D

Thanks! I think I am just making this way too complicated!

I will try the small nail and see how it looks (painting it is a great idea!) and if that doesn't work, I will try the bow!
 
I am thinking of shadow boxes!
 
I think the bow would add a cute touch to it. And if you have other colors in your kitchen you could use the bows to bring the color(s) out.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are RUFTH Trivets and how can they be displayed on a kitchen soffit?

RUFTH Trivets are decorative and functional kitchen accessories designed to protect surfaces from hot pots and pans. Displaying them on a kitchen soffit can enhance your kitchen's aesthetic while keeping them easily accessible. You can use hooks, adhesive strips, or a decorative rack to hang them securely on the soffit.

What materials are best for hanging RUFTH Trivets on a soffit?

When hanging RUFTH Trivets on a soffit, it's best to use materials that are strong and durable. Command strips, wall hooks, or small nails can work well, depending on the weight of the trivets. Ensure that the chosen method can support the trivets without damaging the soffit.

How can I arrange RUFTH Trivets for an appealing display?

For an appealing display, consider arranging the trivets in a symmetrical pattern or a staggered layout. You can mix and match different sizes and colors to create visual interest. Additionally, incorporating other kitchen decor elements, such as herbs or small plants, can enhance the overall look.

Are there specific themes or styles that work well with RUFTH Trivets?

RUFTH Trivets can complement various kitchen themes, including rustic, modern, and farmhouse styles. For a rustic look, consider using wooden hooks and natural materials. For a modern kitchen, sleek metal hooks and a minimalist arrangement can be effective. Choose colors and designs that align with your kitchen's overall decor.

Can I use RUFTH Trivets for purposes other than displaying them?

Yes, RUFTH Trivets can serve multiple purposes beyond display. They can be used as functional trivets for hot dishes, as decorative wall art, or even as a base for small potted plants. Their versatility allows you to incorporate them into your kitchen in creative ways.
