Spice storage ideas you'll actually want to display in your kitchen
From colourful magnetised jars to chic wooden-topped ones, these are the best spice storage solutions for your home.
Although an integral part of any kitchen, a decent spice selection does tend to take up a lot of space — and countless jars shoved haphazardly in a cupboard often creates a mess (and a safety concern!). That’s why finding a storage solution that keeps things organised and prevents mix-ups, like grabbing cinnamon instead of paprika, is a game-changer.
When looking for the best spice storage for your kitchen, consider the space you have available, and if you'd rather have things on display or tucked away. Compact kitchens with limited counter space will benefit from space-saving in-drawer racks and cupboard organisers, while larger rooms can enjoy having them on display.
When you’re sorting your spices into racks or drawers, place your frequently used jars at the front for easy grabbing. Labelling containers can also help you find what you need for a specific recipe and prevent confusion when cooking. For those with an extensive collection, you could even organise them in alphabetical order.
To keep spices tasting fresh and flavourful, remember to place them away from heat and direct sunlight.
The best spice storage solutions:
We love Cliik's containers. Not only do they look super cool, they are really sturdy, have loads of space (even these small ones are generously sized) and are magnetised! Yep, so each lid and base are magnetised so you can stack them upwards or sideways. And, there's even a magnetised label you can slot in and out so you can easily add a label to them (they even come with pre-printed labels for you).
This nifty drawer spice holder can fit 12 jars in comfortably, with a slight elevated design too, meaning you can access the ones at the back easily. Sleek and simple - we love it.
If your kitchen has a more scandi/natural vibe to it, this bamboo shelf would look perfect in it. Fill it up with clear jars of spices, teas or coffee to really add an organised look to your home.
I love this under-shelf rack for keeping my spices organised and easily accessible, making cooking less chaotic and my kitchen cupboards more manageable. It's a relief to pull out the drawer and instantly locate what I need without any hassle.
We would love this bright blue wall shelf in our kitchen, perfect for storing spices, tea, coffee and mugs! Made of sturdy iron, it's the perfect size for a collection of your favourite ingredients.
If you have an extensive collection of spices and condiments, stocking up on a few sets of small glass storage jars is a great solution. These airtight silicone-sealed containers can hold anything from herbs, spices and seeds to jams and chutneys.
This practical Masala Dabba is great for cooking delicious curries and authentic Indian recipes at home. It fits seven spices (cinnamon, coriander powder, black pepper, cardamom, chilli, turmeric and cumin are traditionally kept in a Dabba) so you’ll have the key seasonings for most recipes in one place.
These natural, clear glass jars would look so chic in the kitchen and are perfect for displaying your most used spices. We love the wooden lid with an air tight seal - perfect for preserving those fragrant ingredients.
This rustic and natural looking spice rack should be proudly on display in your home, if you have the space for it. It can fit between 35-40 spice jars on it, and how beautiful would it look if you arranged the spices in colour order from lightest to darkest? Or alphabetical - whatever works for you!
Adjust this organiser according to the size of your spice collection or the space in your kitchen or pantry. These raised shelves keep jars easily accessible and they’ll also allow you to see everything at first glance. I'd personally give this a lick of paint (i'm thinking pastel pink or cobalt blue) for a pop of colour in my kitchen - or get creative with stripes!
This minimal shelf will keep your space tidy, with three tiered sections to store key ingredients. There’s also an extendable option if you need more space.
For those with a copper scheme in the kitchen, you can't go wrong with this quirky honeycomb-shaped spice rack. It fits 15 spice bottles and is also available in gold (slightly cheaper, too!) for a glamorous look.
