"When it comes time to unpacking your groceries, putting your fruit in a bowl on the counter is so much the norm that it might not even cross your mind to store these items any other way. But when you think about it, a fruit bowl can take up plenty of valuable counter space as well as creating visual clutter. A fruit hammock is a simple and affordable solution to free up your countertop, as well as add a boho chic look to your kitchen."
"Fruit hammocks are popular installations in boats and RVs, where bowls won't stay put, but there's no reason you can't use them in your more stationary kitchen. They make especially great use of space that would otherwise go empty, such as underneath kitchen cabinets or shelves or inside your pantry. Plus, they're easy to install. There's also a benefit to fruit hammocks when it comes to the produce itself."
Fruit hammocks clear countertop space and add a boho chic look while making use of otherwise empty vertical areas such as under cabinets, shelves, or inside pantries. They are popular in boats and RVs because bowls can shift, but they work well in stationary kitchens too. Macrame construction allows increased airflow around produce, reducing moisture buildup and spoilage, and can spread fruit to avoid bruising. Hammocks come in flatter and deeper designs; flatter versions save vertical space but hold less, while deeper versions hold more but require clearance and risk bruising if overfilled. Many options are inexpensive or suitable for DIY.
