Spice It Up
If you are moving into a new home and setting up your kitchen, or maybe it’s just time to clean out and reorganize, remember…
The “right” way to set up a kitchen is to make it functional for YOU and how you use it.

One of the best things we can recommend is investing in uniform containers. This isn’t always required, but will be a huge help if you want to take your spice storage to the next level.

This lazy suzan allows you to have access to all your spices with clear visibility without digging through the back of the cabinet. We like this one with the option for taller bottles in the center.
If the cabinet is full, trying door or wall mounted racks is a good option too. These acrylic racks are clear, which we love for visibility. Having uniform square bottles not only is nice aesthetically, but makes putting spices away less of a puzzle, and you can always see the label
The spicy shelf is great if you have the entire cabinet shelf to use. This is a great option because it’s expandable design makes this set up possible in any cabinet.
If you have plenty of countertop space, and want to use the spices both functionally, and as a pop of color in the kitchen, we love these ideas.
This option could be a great starting place if you’re not sure where you want the spices to live. The flexible design allows for countertop, cabinet, and mounted cabinet door options.
