Renters and homeowners will both like these easy spice rack organizers. They don't require any tools or DIY skills and are made of wood, metal or plastic. Simply insert them into a pantry, kitchen cabinet or place them on a countertop to organize your spices. They typically come with 2-4 tiers and can accommodate numerous bottles. Once it's time to move, they're easy to remove from the cabinet or counter to take them with you.

Is it better to store spices in plastic, glass, or metal? 
It's important that spices aren't exposed to moisture or air. The best way to store them is in glass bottles with an airtight lid.

Cabinet Door Organizers

Renters and owners of small kitchens will love this simple DIY spice organizer. By having the spices on the back of a cabinet door you're saving valuable counter and pantry space. These organizers are easy to install with double-sided tape and can hold up to 80 round containers with wall-mount clips.

Where can you store spices in a small kitchen?
If you're organizing a small kitchen, wall-mount or cabinet-door organizers are the best space-saving solutions.

Wall Storage

A wall spice rack is another way to maximize storage in a small space. Use a spare wall or an area on your backsplash to hang wire or wood shelving to hold spices, cooking oils, sauces and more. Some of these wall storage solutions also have hooks, so that you can hang them on the back of a pantry door.
