I really struggled with storing my ~40 standard-sized spice bottles. My criteria was that they be behind closed doors (I didn't want to see them or have them get covered in cooking schmutz), but I didn't want them taking up valuable space in my small kitchen, either. The unused space between the floor of my pantry cabinet and the lowest shelf rollout (an area of ~30" x 30" x 3.5 " high) proved to be perfect. Into this space now slides a wood "spice tray" that I made that has sides and row dividers just high enough to keep the bottles from sliding around. The spice bottles lie side by side (10 in each row, four rows total) and the whole thing can be pulled in and out with ease thanks to felt on the bottom.
