As a celebrity style editor, I've caught glimpses inside hundreds of beautifully organized homes in the last 12 months alone. Most of the time, I am not surprised to see glass storage jars, usually in the pantry, where figures enjoy their versatility and ease. It has, however, been a long time since glass storage jars stopped me in my tracks. Then I revisited footage of Hailey Bieber’s kitchen, and it awakened a newfound appreciation for this staple.

While most people tend to store jars behind their pantry doors, Hailey's jars demand attention against her veined marble backsplash. Two years since she first shared her kitchen tour, Hailey's regimented jars are one of the most beautiful kitchen storage solutions I have seen to date.

Hailey's kitchen may have reminded me just how chic this storage solution can feel – but I am not alone in my observations. Looeeze Grossman, the CEO and founder of The Used Kitchen Company, echoes my appreciation, reminding us just how functional these accessories can be (especially in small kitchens).

'Spice jars are so useful for space-saving storage along with other products, so you don’t have large packets and boxes taking up unnecessary space,' she says. Beyond Hailey's shelving display, she recommends adding magnetic racks (like these from Amazon) to keep smaller spaces clear.

'One way I love for storing spice jars is using magnetic racks on the back of a pantry door or cupboards, so it saves shelf space, and is handy and easily accessible when cooking. Slim pull-out pantry units or stackable organisers are also great, transforming even the narrowest cupboard into a functional space,' she says.

'You can also coordinate your containers. Matching your jars to a similar colour and aesthetic creates a lovely cohesive look which can blend with what is in the rest of your kitchen.'

Hailey Bieber’s kitchen is proof that even the simplest items (like glass jars) can transform a space when paired with thoughtful design. Whether you’re storing spices, snacks, or pantry staples, a little attention to organization and aesthetics goes a long way. After all, functional storage doesn’t have to be boring – it can be effortlessly chic, just like hers.
