7 Small-Kitchen Spice-Storage Hacks That Actually Work

Wall Mounted
If you own a home, wall-mounted racks with a shallow profile can help you store jars. For example, the X-cosrack 5-Tier Stackable Spice Rack holds up to 48 jars.
If you need something less permanent, opt for an over-the-door rack, like the Evelots 6-Tier Spice Rack, which holds 52 bottles. They're easy to install and moveable.
Lazy Susan
If your collection is small, you likely only need a way to organize the spices so you can see them all in the same place, which is the perfect job for a lazy susan.
You can also opt for a rotating spice rack, which is a bit more aesthetic. Look for models that don't take up much horizontal space, like the Vdomus Rotating Steel Spice Rack.
Pull-Down Rack
Pull-down spice racks are good for small kitchens, as they can store a decent number of bottles, but the shelves can be pushed back to provide more space.
While they don't hold a lot of jars, you can buy multiple units to accommodate your bottles. There are also cube-shaped models that sit on the counter and can hold multiple jars.
Cabinet Shelves And Rods
Tension rods and cabinet shelves are affordable ways of creating more space in an existing cabinet so you can stack a new layer of spices in the same place.
Cabinet shelves are removable shelves with legs that fit inside a cabinet, while a tension rod is a metal rod with a spring inside. You can insert multiple rods in a cabinet.
Magnetic Canisters
The door and sides of the refrigerator are excellent unused spaces for storing spices, and there are many magnetic spice rack options to consider.
You can opt for magnetic tins and magnetic storage shelves, or if your fridge has a non-magnetic facade, opt for the ones with a wall base that attaches to smooth surfaces.
