Storage jars - How to get peace and order in the kitchen

Storage jars create peace, overview and a beautiful whole in the kitchen. When flour, oatmeal, pasta and snacks move from bags to jars, it becomes easier to see the contents, plan purchases and keep the shelves neat. Jars are also durable containers that help keep pests out and collect crumbs and dust. At élé living, we work on the principle: Don't fill your home with more than you need. Choose a few repeating sizes and use lids for a uniform, calm expression.

Start with the foods you use frequently. Give them fixed places in cupboards or on open shelves, and group your glasses so you can quickly find what you need. A practical routine is to refill when a glass reaches half its height. This keeps things organized and in control of quantities.

• Choose what lives in the jars
• Pasta: short tubes, spaghetti in tall glasses
• Rice and legumes: same type in the same glass for a quick overview
• Flour and sugar: large glasses so you can dip the measuring spoon directly
• Snacks and breakfast: nuts, seeds, granola in smaller jars for quick serving

Storage jars with lids give a clean look and protect the contents from dust. Place the jars in rows so you can see the labels from the front. Use the same series on one shelf to make everyday life more intuitive: you can reach for size and shape without thinking about what is where.

A simple structure in the kitchen frees up mental space. Inspired by feng shui, it's about giving each category its own distinct place. When your dry goods are in calm, repetitive glass, the kitchen feels more unified and easier to maintain.

Square jars make the most of space on shelves and in cupboards. They fit close together and are easy to arrange in rows. A good choice for staples is the Square Storage Jar 1800 ml . Use it for flour or oatmeal, where volume requires high capacity. Square jars are especially practical when you want to keep large quantities together and easily accessible.

Fill the jars completely when you open a new bag, and put any leftovers in a “use first” bowl in the cupboard. This will avoid half-full bags and wasted space.

Round jars are great on open shelves, in carousels and for snacks that are quickly grabbed. An example is the Round Storage Jar 400 ml , which is great for nuts, seeds or cookies. Combine several sizes in the same series, but stick to a few variants so that the overall impression remains calm.

Small quantities require small containers. Spice jars with brass lids create a neat, uniform line in the spice drawer or on a shelf. For a clear overview, you can add Labels - dry goods design 1 to your larger storage jars. Write the name and date of filling, and place the label in the same place on all jars, so the eye quickly reads your structure.

When you get home with your groceries, fill the jars first. Set aside any leftover bags and use them up before opening new ones. This way you can keep an overview and your shelves look neat in everyday life.
