As possibly the hardest working food items in your kitchen, here are 5 Ways to Organise Oils and Spices! We love organising kitchens at Organised Chaos and once the decluttering is done, we get to move onto putting storage systems in place to have a clutter free and stress free kitchen. We always add in a solution for oils, however, spices are often overlooked – which I feel is a shame. I’m often encouraging clients to think through their storage for spices! Here are just a few options you could put into your own kitchen – some require decanting while others don’t.
This week I organised my own oil & spices cabinet which you can see here if you want to see how I did it!
1. TURNTABLES
My personal favourite and what I use for both oils and spices. I swear since I put these solutions in the cabinets have.not.moved. The organisation is perfect all the time and the ease of use is just well….easy!
The turntables I use can be found here. And the spice jars I use – similar are here.
We placed lovely turntables into a client’s pantry recently which you can see below. This turntable is from IKEA which you can see here. For our client’s we source all their storage needs and this was just one of many solutions we put into this pantry. These turntables were used for oils, jars, sauces – you can use them to organise many things. They are bamboo so they are better for the environment too!
2. DRAWERS
For spices this is a fabulous idea. If I had a drawer to dedicate to spices, I would absolutely do this!
3. BASKETS
Often we keep oils on the counter next to the hob for ease of use. However, instead of having them loose on the counter give them a ‘home’ and pop them into a basket. Not only does this look better and neater, but it gives these condiments a ‘zone’ and clear area where they live.
4. BACK OF THE DOOR
This solution for both oils and spices is clever, easy to access and using every inch of space available to you!
5. RACKS
Whether on the counter, or inside a press, this is the original way of storing spices. Practical & organised.
