There are a few corners of our kitchen that are especially susceptible to chaos — particularly if they don’t have strong organizational systems in place to begin with. One of the first that comes to mind? Bottles and bottles of spices.

Any good kitchen is (hopefully) stacked to the gills with quality spices meant to level up weeknight dinners and special occasion meals alike. But the fact of the matter is, spice bottles can be so annoying to organize. For starters, they tend to be on the smaller side and all different shapes and sizes, making a quality organization system hard to come by. Add to that the visual chaos of tons of different labels (and spice colors) and you have all the makings of a cabinet you basically …never want to open.

Enter: these ten genius spice organization systems that our editors love for solving exactly these types of problems. Over the years, our team has vetted the best of the best when it comes to all sorts of gear, spice rack organizers included. While these space-saving picks range in price and functionality, they’re all sure to calm at least one corner of kitchen chaos.

These wall-mounted spice racks totally transformed the way one editor organized her rental kitchen, immediately allowing her to take advantage of previously unused wall space. The durable set of two is perfectly sized to hold up to a whopping 18 spice jars each, with bars that are positioned low enough to easily see which spice you’re looking for, but high enough that the canisters won't come tumbling out. You can also store heavier items like olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, or other condiments on these shelves because they can carry up to 40 (!!) pounds.
