In our house, magazines live in a very ordinary, yet functional, container. The magazine box acts as a single spot to stash all of our periodicals. A quick glance will tell us if they're starting to pile up, and if it's time to get rid of the older issues. Although we're quite satisfied with our container, lately we've been thinking of transitioning to one that's more unique.
1. A vintage wine rack that we often spot in restaurants is repurposed in this home for magazines.
2. Keeping magazines off the floor is supreme (especially in the bathroom). We love this easy curtain wire solution that you can translate for your own space.
3. Bold and eye-catching, this library magazine rack can house more than just your magazine collection!
4. Repurpose a wine rack to store your subscriptions--great for small spaces.
5. DIY your own magazine holders by using sturdy cereal boxes (add a label to make them searchable).
6. We love this crafty solution for making chic magazine files using cardboard and decorative paper.

Idk, not really a huge fan of any of these. I think I'd rather just hide them than have them set up in a such an in-your-face configuration.
I love the first option. I've searched immediately for online buyer versions. They're called a pupitre.
#3 could be cool for music collections... Looks like a cool store display.
Personally the only magazines I'd want to keep around and find a proper home for are glossy quarterlies or more fancy-pants art magazines which are just books with very soft covers and poor binding. So rolling them up would be out of the question!
I'm not against having something to read in the loo, but actually keeping things in there is very unclean to me

i liked them for a minute, but now they're just in my way.
Beth -
That's not a "Vintage wine rack":...
...it's a Riddling Rack - used in the making of Champagne.

And I agree w/ the above - Would rather use it for wine than rolled up magazines (I hate spindled/folded magazines)
I like the first one very much. Its really authentic. I have never seen anything similar so far.
