Where to store cooking spices in your pantry or kitchen

Whether you want to keep your cooking spices neatly arranged in a drawer, on a wall shelf or on the kitchen counter, the IKEA range offers a wide range of affordable options. Here are a few ideas on how to make the most of your kitchen or pantry space and to keep your essential spices close at hand.

In an anthracite-colour MOSSJÖN wall cabinet with shelves/glass door are CITRONHAJ spice jars and GULDFISK spice jars.

Neat options for spices in drawers

You can use the UPPDATERA spice rack insert – available with or without a tray – to keep your spice jars tidily arranged in a convenient drawer, ready to pull out when you need. Meanwhile, the UPPDATERA sliding organiser for drawer can be a smart way to store your spices in a space that you probably don’t use.

Spice jars lay on two UPPDATERA sliding organisers for drawer, above round glass IKEA 365+ jars with various foodstuffs.

Wall space can be spice space

A free area on your kitchen wall may be a good spot for some of or all your spices – especially when drawer and counter space is limited. If a wall cabinet seems too grand – or you simply don’t want to drill – then the ÖBONÄS wall shelf and container with suction cup are quick and easy fixes for more kitchen convenience.
