Herbs and spices can be tricky to organise in different types of kitchens. Here are some ways to organise your herbs and spices so you can easily access what you need.
Some kitchens have a built-in cupboard or drawer for herbs and spices, but there are plenty that don’t. That’s when you need to get creative with your storage ideas!
Those little herb and spice bottles can be annoying if they’re not stored properly because they can fall over and be hard to find. Ideally, the labels should face outward so you can easily spot the herb or spice that you need when you’re in the middle of cooking.
If you need a solution, here are some different ways to organise your herbs and spices.
Kat’s tip: Store herbs and spices in a cool, dry place out of direct light. Avoid storing them near heat – they are best stored away from the oven and stove.
in a drawer
Sometimes a shallow drawer is an ideal option, especially if it’s at a height that’s easy to access.
I love clear storage pieces because they look great, are functional and blend with pretty much any type of space. This spice draw organiser is an affordable option that will hold several spice bottles for easy access. I like this because the tiers keep them tidy when the drawer opens and closes.

Additionally, labelled jars make it easier to keep track of what spices you have, ensuring you always have your favourite spices on hand.
