Spice Storage Ideas for Small Spaces: Organise Herbs & Spices
Creative Ways to Store Herbs & Spices – Jars, Racks & Drawers
Finding enough room for herbs and seasonings can be challenging in a compact kitchen, but the right spice storage ideas for small spaces can make a big difference. Whether you're working with a narrow pantry, limited cupboard space or a small apartment kitchen, practical storage solutions help keep spices organised, visible and easy to access.
Using clear spice jars, tiered racks and drawer organisers allows you to maximise available space while creating a tidy and efficient cooking area. By giving every spice a dedicated place, you'll spend less time searching for ingredients and more time enjoying the cooking process.
Make the Most of Vertical Space
Use cabinet doors, wall-mounted spice racks and tiered shelves to maximise storage without taking up valuable benchtop space. Vertical storage helps keep spices visible while making the most of compact kitchens.
Organise Spices with Clear Jars
Clear spice jars make it easy to identify ingredients at a glance while creating a consistent, organised look. Matching containers also help maximise shelf space and simplify pantry organisation.
Use Drawer Organisers for Everyday Cooking
Drawer organisers keep spice labels facing upward, making it quicker to find ingredients while freeing up shelf and bench space. They're an excellent option for small kitchens where every centimetre counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best spice storage ideas for small spaces?
The best spice storage ideas for small spaces include tiered shelves, drawer organisers, wall-mounted racks and clear spice jars. These solutions maximise vertical storage while keeping spices organised and easy to access.
Are bamboo spice jars airtight?
Many bamboo spice jars include silicone seals that help keep herbs and spices fresher for longer. Always check the product description for specific features.
Should I use a drawer organiser or a spice rack?
Drawer organisers keep labels facing upward and free up shelf space, while spice racks make spices easy to see at eye level. The best option depends on your available kitchen space and cooking habits.
How should I label spice jars?
Use clear, high-contrast labels with simple fonts. Place labels on the lid if storing spices in drawers, or on the front when using racks or shelves.
What size spice jars are best?
Jars between 120 ml and 200 ml are suitable for most supermarket spice packets, while larger jars are ideal for bulk herbs and seasoning blends.
How can I maximise storage in a small kitchen?
Combine spice racks, drawer organisers and clear storage containers to create dedicated storage zones. Making use of vertical space and cupboard doors can also help maximise storage without sacrificing bench space.
