How to Store Your Kitchen Spices Using These 5 Unique Ideas

Cooking is more efficient and more enjoyable if everything that you need is organized in a certain way. One of the most difficult things to organize in the kitchen are the spices, so it helps to know how you can arrange them neatly without compromising easy access. After remodeling your kitchen in your Royal Oak home, it’s likely that you’ll want to make some organizational changes as well. Starting with the spices, here are some efficient ideas on how you can organize them properly.

1.Group spices together

A simple spice storage tip is to group related spices together, like cinnamon with nutmeg and all spice, or chili powder with cayenne pepper. By doing this, it will be faster for you to find a specific spice instead of having to go through the clutter of all of them together. If you don’t want to group them together based on their type, you can simply arrange them alphabetically. This makes them easy to identify and access in a hurry

2.Put the spices in the fridge

If you don’t want the exposed clutter of spices, you can store them inside the refrigerator. Most people think that doing this will have a negative impact on the quality of spices, however, doing this right will actually help lengthen their lifespan. Make sure that your spices are stored in tightly sealed containers before putting them inside the refrigerator. As long as moisture is kept at bay, they won’t get spoiled easily and won’t take up precious counter or cabinet space

3.Hang the spices on your wall

Ask your contractor to install a wall rack that can hold all your bottled spices. Aside from helping you organize the spices, if you put them inside clear, uniform bottles, you can use them as colorful decor on your wall.

4.Tuck the spices neatly in any unused corner

If you have unused space by the side a cabinet or the fridge, you can install a thin spice cabinet that easily rolls out. This works well, especially if the area that you cook in is near an unused corner space or unused counter area that you can make more efficient.

5.Put them in smaller containers

Oftentimes, people buy spices in bulk, but if you have a small countertop space or drawer space for them, you can transfer them to smaller containers and just refill them later. You can use tiny containers or small bottles for this and it will not only save space but look more attractive as well.

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
