Nothing makes me happier than a seeing kitchen shelves lined with matching glass jars, natural baskets and attractive reusable storage solutions – think re-fill shop chic. If organizing a kitchen is top of your agenda too, you won't be able to wait to get your hands on the new IKEA food storage collection.
From stylish kitchen storage containers to silicone food storage swaps, I'm always looking for ways to cut down on food waste and make my pantry more eco-friendly and these pieces tick all the boxes.
My favorite kind of kitchen storage is both functional and elegant – and IKEA's new 'KÖSSEBÄR' collection delivers just that. There are plenty of options in a variety of sizes, all championing the brand's signature Scandi minimalist aesthetic.
'The KÖSSEBÄR glass storage jars are a brilliant alternative to Weck Jars, if you're looking for a more affordable option that allows you to see exactly what's inside them – from cereal to pasta or even coffee. Plus they're brilliant for serving up desserts in, or making your own quick pickles.
The fluted glass is a real hallmark of the KÖSSEBÄR collection, and I love the subtle elegance it creates – these jars really are IKEA pieces that won't date.
'The airtight jars, are perfect for keeping food fresher for longer, helping to reduce food waste. Plus, their square shape helps to maximize kitchen storage – be it in cabinets or to help with organizing a fridge – so no corner is left empty,' says Chiana Dickson, Solved content editor.
The new IKEA food storage collection also includes stylish accessories such as gingham aprons and dishcloths alongside jars and resealable bags. 'The stoneware is an absolute dream for anyone who is looking to upgrade kitchen storage to create a non-toxic home, too,' adds Chiana.

In fact, there's everything you need here to organize a cottagecore kitchen – right down to the wicker baskets for storing your farmers market staples in. So get your farm girl on and decide which pieces you're going to add to your kitchen before you get reorganizing. It might even have tempted me to make my own jam and pickles.

Whether you're batch-prepping breakfast smoothies or home-made sauces and dressings, this airtight bottle is ideal for storing them in the fridge for later use.
I'm obsessed with the deep brown finish on this jar; I can imagine it nestled among homemade pastries and fresh sourdough in a huge breakfast spread. It's perfect for jam and honey, but you can also use it for salt and sugar, too.
Crafted from poplar wood and finished in a clear lacquer, this small basket is more than fitting for a farmers' market trip – fill it with plums or artichokes and it'll make a handsome fall table centrepiece, too.
Every home cook needs an apron, and this classic gingham print is always a winner. I love the cornfield hue, that's synonymous with harvest and the contrasting print pocket.
These small jars aren't just great for jam; they're also be perfect for storing spices and loose-leaf tea. They'd make great gifts, too – just fill them with candies or homemade treats.
No cottagecore kitchen is complete without a few printed dish towels – especially if they happen to look as charming as these.
From the poplar basket to the dish towels, the new IKEA food storage collection has given me plenty of new rustic decor ideas for fall. Think timeless pantry organization with an Arcadian spin.
