Food storage containers that beautify and organize your kitchen

In recent years, home organization has come into vogue, with Instagram accounts like The Home Edit showing us ways to color-code and beautify everything from your junk drawer to your cleaning supply closet. And with good reason – not only is an organized space aesthetically pleasing, but research shows that outer order really does, in fact, lead to inner calm. A study published in “Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin” found that women who described their home as being cluttered or full of unfinished projects were more likely to experience fatigue and depression than women who described their home as a calming, restorative space. Want a more organized home, but unsure of where to begin? Start with the proverbial heart of the home – the kitchen! These food storage containers will add beauty to your countertops and cabinets, while creating that sense of order you’ve been craving. 

Simultaneously spruce up your countertops and add order with these modern rustic farmhouse-style canisters from Home Acre Designs. Made from stainless steel, you can achieve the rustic aesthetic without the rust – they’re rust-resistant and built to last, with airtight lids to seal out moisture and odors. Each canister varies in size: the “sugar” canister holds 11 cups, the “coffee” canister holds 8 cups, and the “tea” canister holds 4 cups.

Time to say goodbye to mornings of shoving the cereal bag back down into the box. Level up with these airtight, ergonomic cereal containers by Simply Gourmet. This set also comes with a sheet of black, elegantly-shaped labels and a pen, so you can add your own dash of flair to your cereal-organizing game.
This 7-piece set of containers from Simply Gourmet is perfect for the everyday pantry staples you’re reaching for on the regular – use them to store dry pasta, rice, granola, nuts, crackers, and more. They come with reusable labels and a chalk pen to keep track of what’s what, and bonus – the lids are universal, so you don’t have to fumble through cabinets searching for a fit.
These wide-mouthed containers are just the thing for your bulk pantry supplies like flour, sugar, sea salt, cornmeal, beans, and more. Made of premium, clear, BPA-free plastic, they’re stylish enough to keep out on display (and also stackable, with matching grooves on the bottoms and lids). The wide opening makes for easy scooping, and previous reviewers reported they could easily fit a measuring cup inside.
Made of borosilicate glass, the highest quality tempered glass cookware available, these containers come with tight, snap-locking lids. They’re microwaveable, dishwasher, oven, and freezer safe, and BPA-free. A versatile investment, these glass containers can be used for food prep and storage, work or school lunches, storing leftovers, or individual frozen meals. Previous reviewers report loving this alternative to plastic containers, which can break down in the freezer or microwave after just a few uses.

Whether you’re labeling dry baking goods in canisters to line up on your counter, or storing leftover Chinese food in a glass container to take to work tomorrow — there’s a certain satisfaction that comes with having the right container for your needs. Say goodbye to your old stained tupperware with missing lids and upgrade to these food storage solutions. The cereal containers will keep your fave granola from getting stale, and upgrading to glass food storage over plastic makes for easier re-heating (and less chance of absorbing harmful chemicals or microplastics). A more Zen kitchen (and mind!) awaits with these sturdy containers as part of your home organization arsenal and aesthetic.

We spend more time in our kitchens than we may realize. It’s the spot where we brew our morning cup of Joe to start the day and sip chamomile tea to wind down at night. When we have people over, it’s a place to prepare food and so much more. We gather in the kitchen to chat as we nipple on appetizers and sit down for meals there.
Yet, we may not pay as much attention to our kitchen set-up as we do other entertaining areas, such as the living room. It’s understandable. The living room is typically more formal and fancier. However, don’t leave the kitchen out. Keeping it organized can make roasting coffee and hosting guests more streamlined. Here are five essential kitchen organization products.
