DIY Pantry Door Spice Racks – 6 Easy Steps

Not everyone can afford a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen. An expansive, well-ordered kitchen is beyond the bank accounts of most people these days.  So many of us have to deal with tricky kitchen storage dilemmas.

You either have to extend your kitchen to have more space, or you look for simple and inexpensive solutions, which is not always easy.

Storage space is only part of the equation. You might be able to achieve some semblance of order by cramming items into a few small kitchen cabinets, but then that will create new difficulties.

We’ve probably all experienced deep shelves where only a torch and a lot of shuffling can locate the item you’re seeking.

Narrow, well-planned shelves offer immediate visibility but where can you place those narrow shelves without losing wall space? The answer is on the back of your cupboard doors.

What are the benefits of a DIY Pantry Door Spice Rack?

As this homeowner knows, it’s a much cheaper and more immediate solution than an expensive kitchen redesign.  You can buy shelving similar to this but the cost was more than what she’s willing to pay. She decided to make her own. The result is this clever spice rack that hangs on her pantry door. This idea saves storage space inside the pantry and makes it easy for you to find and access the spices you need.

• Time-efficient. A spice rack can be created in just a few hours.
• Space-savvy. If you have a small kitchen, this rack is the best idea.

• A spice rack will make you save the seasoning and banish all the chaos in your kitchen.
