Jars vs. tins
The key difference between jars and tins is their material: while jars are typically made of glass or plastic, tins are typically made of metal, such as aluminum or steel. Typically sealed with a lid, which can be either a screw-on or a snap-on, these handy containers are an eco-friendly alternative that can help keep your perishables fresh for longer periods and can reduce the need for disposable plastic containers or packaging. IKEA offers a wide range of mason jars, food containers and glass jars of different shapes, sizes, and colors, so you can keep everything tidy in your cupboards and cabinets and easy to find.
Decorating with jars
Tins and jars are more than just practical storage solutions—they can also serve as stylish decor elements in your home. Decorative jars can be used for storing small items, such as jewelry or trinkets, or as packaging for gifts such as candles, soaps, or other small items.
Whether you are aiming for a rustic charm or a cozy ambient feel, mason jars are a great decorative option: they are a versatile and affordable item that can be used in a variety of ways. They can be easily painted in different colors or patterns to match your home décor, used as flower vases or as centerpieces filled with string lights for a romantic ambiance. They even make great glasses for cold drinks by adding a lid and straw. You can also fill them with sand or rocks and place a candle in the center for a rustic candle holder or create a mini garden by filling a mason jar with soil and small plants.
And, if you really wish to take your organizing to the next level, make sure to label your storage jars and tins. Labels add an elegant finishing touch and make it simple to differentiate between similar items in storage. So, whether you’re looking for a nifty container, a fun gift idea or a cute new home decoration, browse our wide range of food storage container solutions.
