Storage jars with wooden lids

Two sizes that cover most of the kitchen

Do you also have flour in one bag, pasta in another, and grains in a third, cluttering up your cupboard? You are not the only one. Dry goods tend to end up in half-open bags, and you quickly lose track of what you actually have at home.

Storage jars with wooden lids bring your dry goods together in one place, in containers that are both airtight and look great when left out. In this collection, you will find two sizes: a small one at 0.84 liters and a large one at 4.4 liters. The small one is perfect for things you use in smaller quantities: coffee, grains, nuts, baking powder, or dried fruit. The large one takes care of flour, sugar, pasta, rice, and muesli—the things that otherwise take up the most space and create the most mess.

The jar is made of clear glass so you can see the contents and the level immediately, and the wooden lid provides a warm, natural expression that offsets the cool glass. It is the combination of the two that makes the jars work well both inside the cupboard and out on the counter.

How the wooden lid keeps dry goods airtight

The short answer: the lid seals tightly thanks to a gasket on the inside, preventing air and moisture from reaching the flour and pasta. This is what helps your dry goods stay fresh for longer compared to being stored in an open bag folded over with a clip.

Here is the important detail about these specific wooden lids: wood and glass do not belong in the dishwasher. The glass jar itself is perfectly fine for the dishwasher, but the wooden lid must be handled gently—that is, wiped clean or washed by hand with a little lukewarm water and dried well afterward. Wood that sits in water or is exposed to the high heat and moisture of a dishwasher can warp, crack, or lose its fine surface over time. It is a small routine, but it is well worth it to keep the lid looking nice and sealing tightly.

So the rule of thumb is simple: the glass can go in the machine, but you should take care of the lid by hand.

Why uniform jars provide more peace than mixed packaging

An organized kitchen is not just for appearances. Of course, it looks nice and tidy, but it is also for your inner well-being and for keeping an overview in your daily life. When flour, sugar, and grains are in identical containers with the same look, the cupboard or counter feels much calmer than when the shelf is filled with cardboard boxes, plastic bags, and half-empty packets in all sorts of colors.

Glass and wood are natural materials, and together they create exactly the kind of calm, uniform expression that forms the basis of a simple lifestyle. You gain a lasting overview: you can see when you are running low on flour, and you don’t have to stand in the supermarket wondering if you have enough pasta at home.

Start with the pantry or a single cupboard

You don’t have to overhaul the entire kitchen at once. Often, the easiest way is to start with the single cupboard where your dry goods live, or with your pantry if you have one.

Step 1: Take everything out. Pull out all bags and packets, and throw away anything that is too old or expired. Step 2: Clean. Since the shelf is empty anyway, wipe it down with a damp cloth so you start fresh. Step 3: Refill and find a permanent spot. Pour flour and sugar into the large 4.4-liter jars and smaller dry goods into the 0.84-liter jar, and place what you use most often in front.

Once the system is in place, it practically maintains itself. You just refill when you get home from shopping, and the rest stays in its assigned spot.

Labels make the system complete

Once the jars are in place, the final little touch is to name them. A label on each jar means the whole family can find the right item immediately, and the flour won't accidentally end up in the sugar jar. It is the detail that ties the uniform look together and makes the system easy to maintain.

You can find the selection under labels. Place them on the front of the jar at the same height throughout so it looks clean and calm, whether the jars are in the cupboard or out on the counter.
