Suspend them
A great way to make use of often-wasted under-cabinet space is to turn it into a storage spot for all your favourite flavours. There are gadgets you can attach to the underside of your cupboards, or you can create your own by gluing the spice jar lids to the surface – just unscrew them when you need a pinch or two!

Grow your own
If you love fresh herbs but have neither a garden nor the space on your worktop to keep them, get creative and display them in pots on a rack on your wall. This clever set-up has a funky rustic look and makes a great focal point in a minimalist kitchen.

Step inside
With space at a premium, sometimes you have to work with what you’ve got, so why not add a shallow spice rack to the inside of a cupboard door? Do be sure to check it won’t stop the door from closing. In some cases, making an internal shelf more narrow might be necessary for this to work.

Don’t forget the sides
A seriously under-used surface in kitchens is the side of your cabinets. Why not use it to house a spice rack? The one seen here, built into the mantel over a range cooker, is within easy reach for the cook. Add a smart door to keep the look streamlined.

Plan ahead
If you’re thinking of redesigning your kitchen any time soon, remember to include smart spice storage in your plans. In this scheme, the splashback slides away to reveal shelves of neatly ordered seasonings. They are just where you need them when you’re cooking and, with the panel closed, are neatly out of sight.

Let it hang
Installing a simple rail and hook system to the underside of a kitchen shelf means you can hang a spice rack so you can access your seasoning easily. It’s both a cute and practical idea – what’s not to love?

Match it
One of the easiest ways to improve the aesthetics of a cluttered spice cupboard is to choose a particular brand you like the look of and stick with it. At least that way the chaos will look a little neater!

Remember to label
If you’re not keen on any brand in particular, you can buy your own set of matching jars and decant your herbs and spices. These are larger jars holding mostly pulses, seeds and nuts, but the same idea would work for herbs and spices.
Be sure to label everything carefully or you might end up with some rather interesting dishes! Why not go the extra mile and colour code different varieties?

Install slanted inserts
Without a doubt, the most frustrating thing about a spice cupboard is the impossibility of having the right one immediately to hand. A simple slanted drawer filler can banish those woes for good. With your jars laid out neatly and facing upwards, you’ll never have to route around for that elusive cumin again.

Add a stepped shelf
This is one of the simplest, most effective ways to transform your spice cupboard, and it’s very budget-friendly, too. By installing a step shelf, you can line up your jars so you get a better view of the ones at the back. Get extra organised and dedicate different shelves to different varieties of herbs and spices.

Pop them in
This drawer insert for shallow spice pots ensures you can see all of your seasonings at a glance, and just slot them back into their holes when you’re done. And the beauty of this drawer is that it takes up little vertical space.

Make it magnetic
Adding a magnetic strip along a splashback and investing in stylish metal herb and spice holders is an effortless way to keep your seasonings right where you want them, without taking up precious drawer or cabinet space.

Maximise every inch
If you think you’ll be able to borrow some space from a cupboard or drawer, consider bringing in a professional kitchen fitter to install a slender vertical spice rack drawer. You won’t lose much space from the adjoining cupboards and, with your seasonings close to hand, it’ll make cooking that much easier.
