Let's talk about spice racks.
I got tired of searching pantry and cabinets every time I needed something, so I got me a big honkin' spice rack. This one is a four-tier affair with rather deep shelves. I can't find the exact one on Amazon at the moment. It's the same style as this one, except it has four shelves, and the shelves are larger.

This unit attaches to the wall with two or four screws per shelf - I forget which - so it's very sturdy. I've mounted it with plenty of clearance between the top shelf and the bottom of the upper kitchen cabinet next to the stove, with the bottom of the spice rack resting on top of the back splash board. The sugar bowl and butter tray fit neatly on the countertop under the bottom shelf of the spice rack. I'll post a pic later if I remember to.
Upon this rack, I've arranged things thusly:
Top Shelf: Tall Containers
bread crumbs, standard round box
soy sauce
Worcestershire sauce
olive oil
hot sauce
regular and butter flavored pan sprays
honey bear
Second Shelf:
salt
pepper
garlic and onion powder
other commonly used spices
Third Shelf:
less commonly used spices
vanilla extract
toothpicks in plastic dispenser
bouillon cubes in standard jar
Bottom Shelf: Larger Containers
baking powder and corn starch in standard round boxes
dehydrated onions
Old Bay
Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning
garlic in small Mason jar
There are probably other things on there that I've forgotten, but the point is that I can now find anything I need at a glance. Everything is at an appropriate height to reach out and grab it.
I wish I had some of those cute little bottles like MO posted in the OP to store my garlic and ginger root in, as the Mason jar is a tight squeeze on the bottom shelf.
