Spice racks

[craigjm]

I have about 35 jars of difference spices littering a kitchen cupboard. I am about to refit the kitchen and want to tidy it up a bit. Lots of different options I guess. I would like to get, or have made, some kind of spice storage solution using matching jars that I decant the spices into. I’ve seen various things from the traditional rack on the wall to metal pull out caddy’s screwed into the cupboard.

What do you have and what would you have if you could have any solution you wanted? Pics please for inspiration

We have this. Its from Wickes. It only has 2 racks. Im tempted to buy a 2nd to get a third vasket as it has the space and holes for it.
It fits into a gap beside the oven.

Yeah, we've got one of those pull out pantries too but ours is the full height of the kitchen fittings. Got a shelf for spices and its better than the cupboard as you can see all the spices that are there.

Alternatively you can build this.

Yeah I was thinking something like two of these because I don’t have any skinny pull outs like that in the design

I put up some narrow shelves (basically the depth of a large spice jar) all along the length of the wall above one of my worktops, and have them all there easy to see and ready to use. I've found we use spices a lot more now I've done that.

I just used a couple of the ones that screw to the inside of a kitchen cabinet like this

I use a drawer and find it much more convenient

7.5/10 - he forgot to stain the wood!

We have one of these at a convenient height in the larder cupboard

A very messy drawer. Works for me:

Came across these the other day and thought they seemed a good idea to tidy things up in the cupboard rather than having loads of spice jars strewn around. Can buy them pre-filled or empty with blank labels to add from your existing spices. Turns your 35 jars into 7.

In a similar situation regarding getting something bespoke while kitchen is having a refurb.

I'm thinking of a shallow cupboard, one kilner type jar deep. I tend to (no doubt like many) buy spices in bigger quantities than the supermarket type jars. I usually decant into a glass jar. Plan to have about 4 to 5 shelves. That's the plan anyway. Currently got a cesspit of jars of varying sizes and sealable bags. I would like to be more organised as part of new kitchen!

This is what I am trying to avoid awesome chilli collection though

Interesting idea. Do you have a link?

That’s from Cole & Mason:

Amazon will stock it.

We’re going to put ours in a top drawer using this

Matching jars will come from Amazon.

I bought empty spice jars from Wares of Knutsford (they do lots of great value glass stuff) and screwed some of these (which I bought from Amazon but can no longer find anywhere, hence the US link) across the unused space below a shelf at back of a wall cupboard. Printed my own labels using round sticky labels though just as easy to hand write.

If you plan to have a larder cupboard, fitting racks to the backs of the doors will give you plenty of storage space for spices, sauces, etc.
