Designer magazine holders and racks – how to find the right model for your home
1. Mounting and displaying designer magazine racks
To work out whether a wall-mounted, floor-standing or sideboard magazine holder suits you best, the key question is what you want it to do: display, sort or simply store? The answer will guide you to the right model.
Floor-standing magazine racks (1 and 4) are ideal for storage and don't need mounting: simply stand them on the floor with plenty of space around them. As many models have handles, you can move them around whenever you like. Do keep their weight in mind, though.
Wall-mounted magazine holders (2 and 5) are perfect for displaying your magazines – the covers can almost become a gallery wall. As a small collection point on a table, sideboard or shelf, models that offer storage space and a small display surface at the same time (3 and 6) are ideal.
"As magazines and newspapers have soft covers at most, they quickly get dog-eared or show other signs of wear. To prevent this, stack them with the spines visible, stand them upright in a clip holder or hang them up. This can even create an attractive wall display." – Viktoria, interior expert
2. Magazine holder designs: multi-purpose or single-purpose
When it comes to use, there are two types of magazine rack design. Some are designed entirely for one purpose, while others work as multi-purpose furniture (1 and 4) and can also be used as a side table or stool, for example. There are also many magazine racks whose design recalls boxes, chests and baskets, so they can be used for storing, tidying and sorting when needed.
3. Material: magazine holders made of wood, metal and more
A wide range of materials lets you integrate this small piece of furniture perfectly into your existing interior, so you can follow your personal preferences freely. The only thing to consider is how sturdy the material is in relation to the weight of the magazines, books or newspapers it will hold. From cosy fabric (1) and wood (2) to elegant marble (3) and leather (6) and modern metal (4) and plastic (5), you'll find every conceivable magazine rack design at Connox.

4. Summary – what to consider when buying a designer magazine rack
- Whether a magazine holder for the wall, the floor or a surface such as a sideboard is the right choice for you depends mainly on what you want it to do. So first ask yourself whether the magazine rack will be used for displaying, sorting or storing.
- While wall-mounted magazine racks – much like a magazine display at a newsagent's – are mainly for displaying, freestanding magazine holders are primarily for storing and, depending on the design, sorting too.
- Overall, you can distinguish between single-purpose magazine racks and multi-purpose furniture that can also be used as a stool or side table, for example.
- Your choice of material helps you find the perfect piece for your home. Whether metal, wood or fabric, the choice is huge and you can follow your personal taste freely. Just keep in mind the weight of the items you want to store in relation to the strength of the material you choose.
