Upon opening the cupboard to the right of the stove, pouches of oregano, red pepper flakes, cumin, turmeric and more would come tumbling down onto the countertop. Finding the ingredient you were looking for required exceptional luck and standing on a stool \u2014 there were three shelves filled with herbs and spices, all with questionable expiration dates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Fortunately, I\u2019ve changed my organizing habits and my herbs and spices now live in neatly-labeled jars on a revolving rack. But there\u2019s no one way to organize these cooking essentials. Here we share 10 game-changing ways to organize herbs and spices in your kitchen, whether you\u2019ve got a walk-in pantry or a single drawer of \u2018em.<\/p>\n\n Photo:\u00a0a.nest.in.birdland\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Give those herbs and spices in the back row the attention they deserve with a multi-level organizer. Find a 10-inch, non-skid model at <\/span>Bed, Bath & Beyond<\/span><\/a> or a minimal, acrylic version on <\/span>Amazon<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0organized_simplicity\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Susan was not lazy, she was an organizing genius! Easily locate the smoked paprika with a spin of the wheel. We love this two-tier bamboo turntable from <\/span>Target<\/span><\/a> and this sleek, stainless steel version from <\/span>The Container Store<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0organizedbyellis\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Buying a new, coordinating jar to accommodate every herb and spice you pick up at the grocery store isn\u2019t for everyone. If you prefer to keep your Trader Joe\u2019s-branded spices tucked away, opt for drawer inserts with slanted levels that make labels easy to read. Score these adjustable inserts on <\/span>Amazon<\/span><\/a> or a black metal version from <\/span>Walmart<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0where.home.begins\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Planning a kitchen reno? Banish wasted space by installing a custom pull-out spice rack. For a more affordable option, try a slim storage tower like this wheeled design from <\/span>Home Depot<\/span><\/a> \u2014 it\u2019ll fill up that awkward space between the fridge and your countertops.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0littlehomereloved\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Jazz up your refrigerator with magnetic spice tins. The hexagon-shaped containers pictured here are from <\/span>Gneiss Spice<\/span><\/a> and fit together like a honeycomb pattern, doubling as artwork and organization.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0ikea_australia\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Display your collection of herbs and spices with pride by giving them prominence in the kitchen. <\/span>IKEA<\/span><\/a>\u2019s BEKV\u00c4M spice rack is a classic choice, but this <\/span>Etsy<\/span><\/a> model is a bit more fashion-forward.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0yamazakihome\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n We often overlook under-cabinet space, but it can be used to store spices, cooking utensils, wine bottles, produce and more. <\/span>Yamazaki<\/span><\/a>, a Japanese home organization brand with products available on Amazon, sells this handy under-shelf storage rack that\u2019s perfectly sized for spice jars.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0sarahbattenstylist\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n If you\u2019re a renter like me, drilling holes into the sides of your cabinets just isn\u2019t an option. Thankfully, there are a number of aesthetically pleasing countertop spice racks to choose from, like this farmhouse-inspired design from <\/span>Amazon<\/span><\/a> or this industrial, clean-lined version from <\/span>The Container Store<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0styleanddwell\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Every square inch of storage space counts when you\u2019ve got a teeny-tiny kitchen. Install a tiered spice rack to the inside of a cabinet door, like this model from <\/span>Bed, Bath & Beyond<\/span><\/a>, or go the renter-friendly route with adhesive-backed spice clips, which can be found at <\/span>Walmart<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0suvhh\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Prove to everyone what a chemist you truly are in the kitchen by <\/span>buying<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>DIY-ing<\/span><\/a> a test tube spice rack. I don\u2019t trust myself not to shake out the entire tube of cayenne pepper onto my chicken, but maybe you have steadier hands!<\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s no one way to corral these cooking essentials!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":194990,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2019-08-14T19:18:11Z","apple_news_api_id":"bc533b2c-46ce-4687-b3c9-9a32a55fb1d1","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2019-08-14T19:19:45Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AvFM7LEbORoezyZoypV-x0Q","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/u48r14.digitalhub.com\/sections\/09b86915-7d2b-3acd-915b-b215002d01b7"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11115],"tags":[11113,11129,11162],"coauthors":[8647],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n1.
