Kitchen canisters should be placed where they will be convenient to reach while cooking.  Since they are usually used to store commonly used dry cooking ingredients, it is important that they have the type of seal that is appropriate fro the ingredient being stored.  For pasta a simple cork seal is more than adequate.  For something like flour however, a more airtight seal would be a better choice.

Sometimes kitchen canisters are not used for food items at all.  Sometimes they are the family piggy bank for petty cash.  Other uses can be such things as the much beloved cookie jar; the goal of every child.  Some will be used to hold knick knacks, screws and nails, or other small useful household items.

Clear canisters can be useful for revealing their ingredients at a glance.  Clear canisters are made exclusively from plastic and glass.  Metal canisters should not be used to store food items unless a plastic liner is used.  A little moisture could cause rust, which wouldn’t be healthy to eat.  If you want iron, take a vitamin.

Kitchen canisters are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to dress up your kitchen.  Carefully consider your kitchen décor and decide how you can best complement it in terms of color and design, and make your choice from that standpoint.  I think you’ll agree that they are a great tool fro decorating your kitchen.
