We all know the consequences of a disorganized spice station: You're forced to rummage through every single bottle you own as you search for the cumin, garlic powder, turmeric, or dried thyme you need for the recipe you're working on. If that hit close to home, it's probably time to rethink and streamline your spice setup, especially if you have amassed an expansive collection.

Before you improve your spice storage system, however, make sure you're placing these ingredients in the best possible place. Jessica Litman, the CEO and owner of The Organized Mama, says to keep these dried goods in cool, dark areas to maintain their freshness.

Ensuring that spices are easily identifiable and accessible is also key. "You want to store your spices [near where] you are cooking, preferably close to the stove in a cabinet or drawer," says Malaika Lubega, a professional organizer, interior decorator, and the owner of Huza Home Concepts. If you're short on space, the pantry works, too, she adds, so long as spices are properly capped and contained; your wall is another option.

Now that you have identified the best spot for your spices, you'll need a storage system to keep everything tidy. To accommodate every location—including cabinets, walls, drawers, and the pantry—we're sharing expert-approved tools that will help you organize the spices in your kitchen with ease.
