If your spice collection is overflowing but your kitchen isn’t, the right setup can make cooking feel way less chaotic.
Over-the-Pantry-Door Shelves
In my current place, the back of the pantry door is my secret weapon for spice storage that doesn’t steal cabinet real estate. I group mine by cooking style (baking, weeknight, spicy) so I can grab what I need in seconds.
Possibly helpful picks:
- Wooden Door Mount Spice Rack: Transform your unused door space into valuable storage with a stylish rack that keeps spices organized.
- Glass Spice Jars with Metal Lids: Create a uniform, professional look for your pantry by transferring spices into these clear, durable jars.
- Adhesive Spice Jar Labels: Find exactly what you are looking for quickly by clearly labeling every jar in your new collection.
Angled Drawer Insert
In my last studio, a simple spice drawer insert was the fastest way to see every label at once without digging. I keep mine arranged by what I use most, so my everyday spices are always front and center.
These products might be useful:
- Glass Spice Jars with Labels: Create a uniform look like the photo by transferring your spices into these matching glass jars with lids.
- Deep Drawer Organizer Dividers: Keep your upright jars from sliding around by installing adjustable dividers that fit perfectly inside your deep drawers.
- Non-Slip Drawer Liner: Line your drawer bottom with a grip mat to ensure your glass jars stay stable and quiet when opening.
Tiered Cabinet Riser
I swear by a tiered riser inside a cabinet because it turns that dark, back-row chaos into “stadium seating” for spices. In my own kitchen, it stopped the constant domino effect of jars tipping over.
Some handy options:
- Bamboo 3-Tier Spice Rack Organizer: Create stadium seating for your spices with natural wood tones that match almost any kitchen decor.
- Minimalist Glass Spice Jar Set: Upgrade your pantry aesthetics by decanting spices into uniform glass jars for a cleaner, organized look.
- Adjustable & Expandable Step Shelf: Maximize your specific cabinet width with an expandable riser that adapts perfectly to your storage space.
Lazy Susan Turntable
A lazy Susan is my go-to for corner cabinets since it brings spices to me instead of making me crawl into the cabinet. I like using one for backups and less-used spices so my main stash stays uncluttered.
Might be a good match:
- Wood Lazy Susan Organizer: Bring natural warmth to your pantry while keeping spices accessible with this rotating wooden turntable organizer.
- Glass Jars with Wood Lids: Upgrade your storage aesthetics by decanting spices into uniform glass jars that fit perfectly on turntables.
- Minimalist Pantry Labels: Ensure you never mix up ingredients again by applying clean, modern labels to your new spice jars.
Door-Mounted Spice Rack
Mounting a spice rack on the cabinet door saved me when I had basically zero shelf space near the stove. I’ve learned to pick a shallow setup so the door still closes easily even with taller spice jars.
Maybe worth checking out:

Pull-Out Cabinet Organizer
I’ve installed a simple pull-out spice rack for clients in narrow cabinets, and it’s always an instant “why didn’t I do this sooner?” moment. In my own kitchen, it keeps every jar visible without the back row disappearing.
Some ideas to consider:

Slim Gap Spice Pull-Out
That awkward sliver next to the stove can become a full-on spice tower if you add a slim pull-out. I helped a friend do this in her apartment kitchen, and suddenly she had space for every spice she’d been stacking on top of the microwave.
Check if these fit your needs:

Under-Shelf Clip Row
I once added under-shelf spice clips in a rental kitchen, and it basically created a whole new storage zone out of thin air. It’s perfect for the small jars I use constantly, like garlic powder and smoked paprika.
A few suggestions:
- Adhesive Under-Shelf Spice Organizer: Maximize your vertical space by attaching these clever pull-out drawers directly underneath your existing kitchen shelves.

Wall Ledges as Spice Shelves
A couple of slim wall-mounted spice shelves can turn an empty backsplash area into the prettiest, most practical display. I’ve used this in my own apartment to free up a whole cabinet shelf for plates.

Pegboard Spice Station
I set up a pegboard spice station for a client with almost no cabinets, and it gave her flexible storage she could rearrange anytime. I love it because you can keep spices, measuring spoons, and funnels all in one tidy zone.
A few things you might like:

Clear Bin “Spice Categories”
When I’m not using a dedicated rack, I corral spices into clear bins like “baking,” “savory,” and “heat.” I’ve found it’s the easiest way to keep packets and odd-shaped spice containers from turning into a messy pile.

Deep Drawer Canister Grid
In one tiny apartment, I used a deep drawer and created a simple spice canister grid so nothing toppled when the drawer opened. It felt a little extra at first, but it made cooking smoother because everything stayed in its lane.
May just do the trick:
- Adjustable Drawer Dividers: Create custom-sized compartments in seconds to keep your spice jars upright and organized every time you cook.

Magnetic Side-of-Fridge Spice Shelves
When cabinet space was tight, I tried magnetic spice storage on the fridge side, and it kept my most-used jars right where I could see them. I like this best for a curated set of favorites so it looks intentional, not cluttered.
