Cooking Spice Organization
home4less | November 6, 2008
Embarrassingly, my spice cabinet is a big mess. I spend too much time during cooking shuffling around the different bottles looking for something in particular and often am afraid for anyone to open the door and reveal the clutter and disorder.
There are so many options for spice storage, I almost became overwhelmed. I guess it all depends on where space can be found.
There are many carousel-style pieces that probably sit on the countertop or inside of the cabinet.
Here is one of those that offers 16 bottle storage with handy labels. It’s probably attractive enough to display on the counter top itself, but I can’t really afford the space for this.

Here is another carousel by the same manufacturer that offers 4 additional bottle storage. Again, it is another aesthetically-pleasing piece.

For those preferring in-drawer storage, there are a good selection of customizable solutions as well.
I found these drawer racks that come in a white, plastic construction. Apparently, there are two sizes varying slightly in width.

Drawer Spice Rack – Wide (White) (1″h x 16″w x 21″L)
For those wanting a bit more flexibility in sizing, here is an expandable drawer organizer.

This in-cabinet storage solution would probably be most fitting for my current spice dilemma. I like that it offers drawers of sorts to pull out for viewing.

Though I am blessed to have almost an excess of kitchen cabinet storage, should that ever change this door-mounted racks seem to be a great idea.
