1 Line Spice Rack
The 1-Line Spice Rack by DESU Design is a clever product- simple and functional. I especially fancy the little provision in the rack for your balsamic vinegar or olive oil bottle and I feel that it is this feature that truly accentuates the spice rack’s design.
Buying this rack will set you back USD199, which includes the stainless steel rack and 15 mini bottles (spices not included). A hefty price no doubt, but this spice rack sure would look elegant in any kitchen.
However, with a little creativity and some basic DIY skills, you could also create your very own spice rack. Instead of stainless steel, use wood, because it is readily available in your local hardware stores (some of them may even cut wood to size based on your request) and for the other obvious reason- cost.
With a little DIY skill, you could have a minimalist spice rack/shelf in your kitchen. Great for small kitchens too. For jars, you can always get them from IKEA for a couple of dollars each.

Nice design, functional too? Agreed. DIY alternative? Even more so. Cost motivates a lot of our decisions these days, inc. design… no excuse for poor design though.

For the DIY alternative, to make things easier, forget the vertical portion. Just cut out three separate pieces of wood and place them like so:
