\u201cAll those spices and herbs in your spice rack can do more than provide calorie-free, natural flavorings to enhance and make food delicious.

3. Maximize Space with Spice Drawer Organizers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re limited on cabinet space, consider keeping your spices in a drawer. This is a nice solution because it puts all of your spices immediately on display. You\u2019ll need to have a drawer organizer for them and spice containers that neatly fit into the organizer and the drawer. This typically means having a set of jars that you transfer the spices into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a deep enough drawer, you can label the lids and stand them up. However, most people find that their drawers are too shallow for this and end up laying them down. For increased functionality, look for one that puts the jars on a slight slant. This will make it easier to grab one jar and put it back without disrupting the other rows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Choose Sleek Hidden Spice Racks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern cabinet makers have found creative ways to hide a spice jar specific storage space in the kitchen counters. These hidden pull-outs are one or two spice jars wide and as deep and tall as your other cabinets. You\u2019ll have several shelves with rails on either side to hold the jars in place. You then pull the drawer out to access your spices or slide it back in place to hide them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren\u2019t building a new kitchen or remodeling, you can still build a custom hidden pull out. Look at the available space you have around your fridge. You can build a rolling rack with a solid front with a handle that fits into the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Hang Stylish Spice Racks in Your Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creating a hanging spice rack can be a unique and creative way to organize your spices. If you have wall space, you can string planks of wood together for a multi-tiered shelving system. Use a rough twine or jute rope to give it a rustic feel. A thin boat line can create a nautical feel for a coastal home. String some black rope around a metal pipe affixed to the wall for an industrial feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another hanging option is to utilize the space under your upper cabinets. You could have magnetic strips on the bottom of your cabinet that the spice jars connect to by their lids. Or you could affix Velcro dots to the cabinet and your lids. Then they\u2019ll hang under the cabinet and out of the way. If you decide to do a hanging option, use jars with lids that securely screw-on. Otherwise, you risk the body of the spice jar falling from the lid and spilling spices everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Opt for Efficient Cupboard Spice Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Storing your spices in a cabinet is smart. It puts them easily within reach while cooking and protects them from degrading in the light. However, piling them all on a shelf is a terrible idea, and something will get lost in the back. Arrange them in your cabinet so that you can easily see everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lazy susan is perfect because you can line the spices on the spinning plate and spin it to see everything. You could also mount a test tube spice rack on the inside of the cabinet door. This utilizes space that often goes unused. However, you\u2019ll want to make sure the spice jars don\u2019t interfere with the shelves or anything on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Select Modern Metal Spice Racks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Embrace the sleekness and durability of modern metal spice racks in your kitchen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal for contemporary spaces, these racks offer a stylish yet functional way to display your spices. Their sturdy construction ensures longevity, while their clean lines and metallic finishes can complement any modern decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Embrace Innovative Magnetic Spice Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most common magnetic spice racks are strips of metal that you adhere to your wall or cabinets. You\u2019ll then put your spices into magnetic spice jars. The metal strip will hold the jars in place. If you have many spices, you may need to use a large metal plate instead of thin strips to hold all of the jars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to use the side of your fridge. If you have access and your jars have strong enough magnets, you can affix them to your fridge. Whatever style you use, the jar will either attach by its lid or the body of the jar. If you don\u2019t want to buy new jars, you could glue magnets to the back of your glass jars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
