Herbs and spices should make cooking fun, not stressful! 😎 Store them in drawers, cabinets, or pantry shelves where they're easy to see, fresh, and quick to grab. 👀🛒
Tired of hunting for one spice, only to find you're out? 🕵️♀️ Or buying extras because you can't find what you have? 💸 Let’s save that time and money for something better.
As a professional organizer who transforms kitchens for busy families, I love helping clients reclaim their space. 🏠❤️ Here are simple tips for organizing your spices:
Take Inventory. Find out exactly what you have and how much. Is it stored in multiple locations? See #2. 💡
Use One Spot. 🗂️ Keep everything together. No more searching multiple places while cooking or baking. ⏰
Check Dates. 📅 Spices lose flavor after expiration, even if safe. Toss ones you haven't used—you likely won't. 🗑️
Alphabetize. 🔤 Sort A to Z. It makes finding them fast and easy. ⚡
Cabinet Helpers. 🔄 Use a lazy Susan (it spins!) or stair-step riser. This keeps all jars visible. 👆
Narrow Cabinets. 📏 Many new homes have slim spice drawers by the stove. Labels on the tops (not sides) help you see them. Buy stickers or use a label maker. Still alphabetize for best results!
Your kitchen space limits where things go, but good organization makes cooking easier. 🍳 Custom labels or jars are a small cost for daily smiles—I've seen clients rave about how it streamlines holiday baking! 🎄🥧
✨Here are some examples of spice organization we’ve done for clients’ homes.
Spice drawer where you can lay the spices down is a treat. We transferred the seasonings to the same style bottle and added white labels . We also put in drawer inserts so they didn’t roll around and were angled.
This 2 story bamboo lazy susan keeps the spices together and in order in this cabinet. Don’t the consistent bottles and labels look great?
Spices bought in bulk went into these rectangular containers which were easier for this client to use. Of course, we labeled everything, and they can be reused if necessary.
Another fun spice drawer with short rectangular containers. Notice the alphabetical order!
These clear spice jars are easy to open and the white labels are easy to read. They are about the same width as regular spice jars so don’t take up more space. If you have the vertical space, the 2 tier lazy susan works great
Organizing your spices early makes for a sweeter holiday season.
