Spice drawer insert fitted so you can actually see what you've got. No more digging through jars to find paprika. Everything visible, organized, easy to grab.
Stop Rummaging For Cumin
Open your spice drawer right now. Go on, I'll wait.
Can you see every jar? Or are they all lying flat with just the lids visible, meaning you have to pick up and check every single one to find what you're looking for?
A spice drawer insert holds them at an angle. Open the drawer, every label visible, grab what you need, done. Five seconds instead of two minutes.
Such a simple thing, makes cooking so much less annoying.
💡 Pro tip: While sorting the spice drawer, bin anything that's been there for years. Spices lose flavor - if you can't remember when you bought it, chuck it.

What to Expect
Step 1: Measure Your Drawer
Quick measure of your drawer width and depth to make sure the insert will fit properly.
Step 2: Adjust The Insert
If it's an expandable one, adjust it to fit snugly. If it's fixed size, might need slight trimming.
Step 3: Position In Drawer
Put it in the drawer at the best angle for seeing jars. Usually towards the front works best.
Step 4: Organize Your Spices
Help arrange your spices so you can see all the labels. Bin any ancient ones while we're at it.
🔧 DIY Tips
You can fit a spice drawer insert yourself - it's not complicated:
🔧 What you'll need
- Spice drawer insert (expandable ones are easiest)
- Tape measure
- Non-slip drawer liner (optional but helpful)
- Maybe hacksaw if insert needs trimming
📐 Choosing the right insert
- Measure your drawer width
- Measure drawer depth
- Count how many jars you've got
- Get insert that matches (expandable ones fit most drawers)
- Check height - needs to fit when drawer closes
🔧 Fitting process
- Empty drawer completely
- Measure and adjust insert to fit
- Place non-slip mat in bottom if you've got one
- Position insert (usually angled towards front)
- Arrange spices so labels visible
- Check drawer closes properly
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Insert too tall (drawer won't close)
- Not using non-slip mat (moves around when opening drawer)
- Not angling it towards front (can't see labels)
- Keeping spices that are 5 years old
💡 Pro trick: Arrange spices in groups - baking spices together, savory together, etc. Makes finding stuff even faster. And put the ones you use most at the front.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🌶️ Full kitchen reorganization? While I'm sorting your spice drawer, makes sense to do other drawer organisers too - cutlery dividers, utensil trays, whatever you've got been meaning to sort. All the drawers organized in one visit.
Multiple spice drawers? Some people have herbs in one drawer, spices in another. Can organize both while I'm there.
Deep drawers? If you've got really deep drawers, you might be able to fit two levels of spice inserts. I can advise when I see what you're working with.
What type to buy? The bamboo expanding ones are good quality and fit most drawers (about £20-30). The plastic ones are cheaper (£15) but don't last as long. Avoid the really cheap ones - they don't hold their shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a spice drawer insert?
It's an angled rack that sits in your drawer, holding spice jars at a slant so you can see them all at once. Much better than them all lying flat where you can't see what's what.
Will it fit my drawer?
Most will - the expandable ones adjust to fit different drawer widths. I measure your drawer first and make sure whatever we're fitting will work. Sometimes needs slight trimming to fit perfectly.
Do I need to buy the insert first?
Either way - if you've already got one, I'll fit it and adjust it to work properly. If not, I can advise which ones fit your drawer size and pick one up.
Can you fit other drawer organisers too?
Yes - cutlery dividers, utensil organisers, whatever you've got. Might as well do them all while I'm there sorting your spice drawer.
Will it damage my drawer?
No - these sit in the drawer, they're not screwed or glued. Non-slip mat underneath stops them moving. Completely removable if you change your mind.
