Drawer Inserts
Keep your spices close by and at the ready, while simultaneously reducing clutter with drawer inserts. They're made of wood or metal and contain multiple tiers to hold dozens of bottles. These spice organizers are designed to easily drop into a drawer or they can be cut to the desired length with a table saw.
How should spices be organized?
- Alphabetize your spices to quickly find what you need.
- Purchase glass spice bottles and transfer the spices from their original packaging.
- Customize glass bottles with labels or use a label maker to make your own.
Pull-Out Spice Racks
Pull-out cabinet inserts give you quick and easy access to your favorite spices. They come in various sizes that can also hold mixing bowls, cooking oils, canned goods and more. In this image, a chrome pull-out spice rack can accommodate multiple bottles. There are also cabinet-mount pull-out spice racks where a wooden tray can be removed and placed on the countertop while you're cooking.
Select a drawer or cabinet that's next to the stove for easy access while cooking.
Freestanding Spice Racks
Renters and homeowners will both like these easy spice rack organizers. They don't require any tools or DIY skills and are made of wood, metal or plastic. Simply insert them into a pantry, kitchen cabinet or place them on a countertop to organize your spices. They typically come with 2-4 tiers and can accommodate numerous bottles. Once it's time to move, they're easy to remove from the cabinet or counter to take them with you.
Is it better to store spices in plastic, glass, or metal?
It's important that spices aren't exposed to moisture or air. The best way to store them is in glass bottles with an airtight lid.
Cabinet Door Organizers
Renters and owners of small kitchens will love this simple DIY spice organizer. By having the spices on the back of a cabinet door you're saving valuable counter and pantry space. These organizers are easy to install with double-sided tape and can hold up to 80 round containers with wall-mount clips.
Where can you store spices in a small kitchen?
If you're organizing a small kitchen, wall-mount or cabinet-door organizers are the best space-saving solutions.
A tabletop or cabinet Lazy Susan is another easy and convenient way to store spices.
Wall or Pantry Door Storage
A wall spice rack is another way to maximize storage in a small space. Use a spare wall or an area on your backsplash to hang wire or wood shelving to hold spices, cooking oils, sauces and more. Some of these wall storage solutions also have hooks, so that you can hang them on the back of a pantry door.
