10 Of The Best Kitchen Storage Jars
Keeping your house in good order is all about the right storage. And nowhere is that truer than in the kitchen. From confit to contemporary, these are the storage jars we love.
Say the word ‘storage’ and, guaranteed, eyes will glaze over at the dull practicality of it all. However, as most interiors enthusiasts know, finding solutions for where we group our smaller accoutrements can be just as much of a thrill as any other homeware purchase, and particularly when it comes to the kitchen.
After all, get it right and your kitchen containers can be every bit as beautiful as the things they hold, and so they should be, since you will most likely wish to display proudly them upon your shelves. From the classic French farmhouse vibes of a lovely rustic confit jar to the pared-back elegance of porcelain, ensure your #shelfies are no slouch in the looks department with the aid of these super storage jars.
Antique French Confit Pot I, £175
The classic French confit jar is still utterly irresistible. Rustic, chic and with glorious patinas of age, they were originally used to preserve seasonal produce and often buried underground to keep the contents cool. Today we love them on kitchen shelves filled with anything from salad servers to blousy blooms.
Stoneware Storage Jar, from £32
Helene and Adele at Freight in Lewes are absolute masters of chic restraint. We adore these containers, which can be used for anything from pasta to rice to biscuits. Heavenly simplicity.
Gio Line Container & Cork Stopper, £50
Clean lines marry perfectly with a cork stopper, making this glass container ideal for the air-tight storage of anything from rice to spice.
Cornishware Cornish Blue Large Storage Jar, £55
You don’t get more iconic than Cornishware. Fresh seaside vibes are instantly delivered to your kitchen shelves, one storage jar at a time.
EKLATERA Jar With Lid, Black, £6
For a more masculine kitchen, keep all your bits and bobs in monochrome style courtesy of IKEA’s EKLATERA.
Puglia Black Splatter Ceramic Storage Jar, £18.99
Add a shot of Italian chic to your kitchen shelves with these splatterware beauties. Handmade in Italy, there is no better vessel for the storage of spaghetti.
70s Ceramics, £47
If you’re looking for the 1970s in a jar, voila: you have found it.
Enamel Storage Jar, £12
The perfect thing for simple white-washed kitchens, these enamel jars are inarguably perfect.
Teak Storage Stacking Jar, £25
We love the natural warmth of the teak married with the sleek glass: ideal for coffee beans.
Romy Vase, £112
Technically a vase, we can nonetheless see this atop an open kitchen shelf, adding sculpture and drama by the bucketload.
