​Stock up on storage jars for spring

Have you begun your spring cleaning at home yet? With the sunnier days now upon us, it's the perfect time to throw open those windows, wash those heavier fabrics, give everything a deep clean and then have some real fun with some home organisation.

Upgrade your home with natural glass

At Wares of Knutsford, we always see a real spike in orders at this time of year, which makes sense as we know our customers love upgrading their storage with pretty jars of all kinds. Whether you are looking to recreate your Grandma's perfect pantry, make a beautiful vintage bathroom or organise your cupboards without resorting to single-use plastic, we have a superb selection of jars to suit.

We have a huge range of jar shapes and sizes to suit all needs and preferences. These include ribbed storage jars, Kilner jars, Pot club jars, glass storage jars with various lids and even decorative storage jars for storing things such as confectionary and cotton buds. These jars are affordable, look beautiful, can be used endlessly and are also eco-friendly, making them a win-win on all fronts.

Make more of your storage jars

What looks nicer than a glass storage jar with a pretty lid? Here are some ideas for you to try at home:

- Display your homemade jams with pretty fabric decorative lids, tied with twine. These will make a real feature on a shelf or in a pantry.
- Store your homemade fudge, marshmallows and confectionary in oversize glass storage jars with pretty lids, or in angled glass jars that will remind you of your childhood and the local sweet shop.
- Stock up on Kilner jars for storing all of your kitchen dry goods. Mini Kilner jars are great for storing spices for example, and larger sizes are perfect for dried fruit, pasta, rice and flour.
- Store your cotton buds and cotton balls in style by using storage glass jars with cork or fancy decorative glass lids. They look beautiful in different sizes on a bathroom surface or shelf.
- Create a Pinterest-worthy pantry with Pot storage glass jars with their beautiful and traditional glass lids. Simply add beautiful handwritten labels and buy various sizes to store everything from laundry tablets to bicarbonate of soda.
- Stock up now on large Weck jars in anticipation of pickle-making and preserving after the summer. If you are trying any grow your own vegetable products this summer, then you could well be lucky enough to end up with plenty of extra tomatoes, cucumbers and courgettes.
- Use different sized storage jar options in your craft area to store buttons, threads, thimbles, pens, ribbons and other craft items. They look so pretty lined up with colourful items inside to inspire your creative projects.
- Create bath salts in different colours using Epsom salts, food colouring and essential oils and then store them in a series of glass jars in your bathroom. If you place them on the windowsill then the light will catch the contents and create a beautiful rainbow.
- Run out of scented candles? Bulk buy small glass jars and buy soy wax discs and tapers. You can then easily make a large batch of your own eco-friendly candles using essential oils, dried lavender, rose petals or even small amounts of woody herbs to create beautiful fragrances around the home.
- Take random boxes and bottles off your kitchen surfaces and replace them with jars. For example, if you have various tubs of laundry materials in your utility room, then decant your detergent, softener and stain remover into glass jars. These will look far more attractive and save room too. Even better, once you start using them, you can then shop at the zero-waste store for your refills and take single-use plastic out of the equation entirely.
- Prepare layered cookie and cake mixes in Mason jars for when children come to visit. These can simply be added to a bowl with an egg, milk and any other wet ingredients so that you have some ready bakes to make. You could prepare ready dry mixes for chocolate brownies, chocolate chip cookies, rock cakes, victoria sponge and other treats.
