Best 10 Space-Saving Dish Racks That Work With Every Kind of Kitchen Set-Up

by Olivia Bennet

The ideal dish rack is different for every household. Depending on the size of your kitchen sink, you may find in-sink or over-the-sink set-ups to be more practical than countertop options.

Here are 10 different sink rack varieties that serve as dashing places for dishes to drip-dry.

Simplehuman Kitchen Dish Drying Rack with Swivel Spout, Fingerprint-Proof Stainless Steel Frame, Grey Plastic
  • YOU WASH, I'LL DRY - simplehuman's steel frame dishrack has an innovative drainage system that includes an integrated drip tray with a swivel spout that pivots to keep water flowing directly into the sink, not onto the countertop.
  • ANTI-RESIDUE COATING - Hydrophilic coating on plastic tray causes water to spread so that it dries more quickly and prevents residue buildup. Very clean and efficient.
  • SWIVEL SPOUT - Spout pivots to drain water directly into the sink from any side so you can position the dishrack long or short ways on the countertop and can be completely removed for easy cleaning.
  • SILICONE-CAPPED WIRE RACK - Holds plates tightly without scratching or chipping.
  • WINE GLASS HOLDER - Integrated wine glass rack safely hangs up to 4 extra-large Bordeaux wine glasses so they dry quickly and efficiently.

While this dish rack from Simplehuman certainly isn’t cheap, it provides designated slots for all of your dishes, as well as your knives and stemmed wine glasses! The angled tray underneath keeps your counters dry while letting moisture slide right back into the sink.
