The one area in everyone’s kitchen that’s been left untapped for added storage space, however, is a surprising one: your refrigerator! That’s why thousands of Amazon customers love these Roysili Magnetic Spice Racks, perfect for attaching to your fridge for easy access spices and more. They’re also 32 percent off right now, so you can save space and money.
Vertical storage is the way to go if you have a small kitchen. But if your wall space is limited too, taking advantage of the side of your refrigerator is such an ingenious idea. Coming in a set of two, these magnetic shelves are simple, yet versatile. They’re made of sturdy metal and are each able to hold up to five pounds of weight, perfect for your seasonings. Plus, unlike wall-mounted spice racks, there’s zero assembly required — just stick them to the side of your fridge!
With over 3,400 five-star ratings, thousands of customers have raved about how much space they’ve saved in their kitchen, thanks to these shelves. Many commented on how it was the solution they needed to their cramped kitchens and lack of storage. One person wrote, “I really liked the way this gave the cabinets in my small kitchen some extra breathing space for storage of pots, pans, and appliances. A two pack was the perfect amount to fit the majority of spices I use on a regular basis.”
Not only does it free up your cabinets, but it will also situate your spices within easy reach so you don’t have to go rummaging around your spice rack when you’re in the middle of making a dish. One reviewer touched on this saying, “I have a very small amount of counter space and I cook with a lot of spices, so I wanted a storage solution to keep my countertop space from being cluttered while also having everything in easy reach while I cook. This perfectly fit the bill for what I needed.”
And it doesn’t have to be just spices! Because you can easily adjust the space between the two shelves, you can use them to store condiments like oil and vinegar, or even vitamins and medications like one reviewer did. Another mentioned how they were deep enough to fit big Sam’s Club spice containers, perfect for anyone who buys seasonings in bulk. The magnets are strong enough to hold these items, as so many reviewers commented on the shocking strength, a few mentioning that they don’t budge once you put them up.
So if you’re tired of your spices taking up too much space in your cabinets, these magnetic racks are such an easy, affordable way to add storage to your kitchen. Who knows, you might even be enticed to try a few new recipes now that your seasonings are in such close proximity!

If you have drawers in your kitchen right now, cherish them. Yes, I’m talking drawers where you store silverware, dish towels, cooking tools, and basically anything else that you regularly use in the kitchen. When I moved to my new apartment, I quickly discovered that there isn’t a single drawer in my kitchen. You heard that right — not one! Which means that I can’t even make use of the OXO organizer Kitchn’s executive lifestyle director loves, these expert-approved drawer organizers, or this chic tray to tidy up a junk drawer. One particular downside of this design is the lack of a spice drawer. To remedy this, we’d initially shoved four roommates’ worth of seasonings into our cabinet, taking up almost an entire shelf and wasting precious storage space. That is, until I decided to think vertically with these $20 wall-mounted floating shelves.
These handy shelves come in a set of two and are perfectly sized to hold up to a whopping 18 spice jars each. They’re made of durable steel with bars that are positioned low enough to easily see which spice you’re looking for, but high enough that they won’t fall out. You can also store heavier items like olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, or other condiments because it can carry up to 40 pounds.
You do need to have a power drill for installation, but putting them up was a breeze. We ended up using smaller anchors and screws than what was provided in the pack — they were too large for our brittle walls. Once we sorted that out, all it required was simple measuring, installing the metal plates provided, and then sliding the rack on. I especially love the sliding design because we didn’t have to navigate drilling an entire shelf into the wall.
These shelves are also extremely customizable to place wherever suits your needs. For instance, you could hang them inside your cabinet doors to keep your spices away from sunlight (as advised by spice pros!) while still freeing up storage space.
An added perk of these shelves is that my roommate remarked how cozy they make our kitchen feel. There’s a lived-in quality that they add to the space, in addition to the ease of having seasonings at the ready and an entire section of our cabinets now available. Next task on the list: buying matching spice jars!
