The spice cupboard is one of the most chaotic spaces in the kitchen, with many stocked full of used-by herbs and clumsily placed jars.

So, to make life a little easier, hundreds of savvy Australians have shared their genius hacks for storing spices using items bought from Kmart and Ikea.

Shared on social media, the ideas ranged from DIY storage solutions to budget racks – but the most popular idea was using a Lazy Susan.

These smaller Lazy Susans operate in the same way as the larger variety often seen in Chinese restaurants do.

It keeps spices and herbs accessible and organised as people can just turn the device to access the jar they’re after. 

Women said they opted for the 17-piece spice jar set from Kmart for $15 and have added labels to keep track of the spices.
