We thought we had seen it all when Khloe Kardashian introduced us to her Khlo-C-D refrigerator arrangement ─ where things are organized in a rainbow color system. But the reality-TV star’s walk-in pantry at her new Hidden Hills home is proof that there are levels to being organized, and Khloe Kardashian is way on top of the ladder. Known for her self-proclaimed Khlo-C-D, or the compulsive neatness and orderliness she enforces in her home, the supermodel gave us a peek-in-pictures into her pantry, which Home Edit assisted in organizing.
When you look at the Khloe’s shelves ─ filled with various foods, cookbooks, and kitchen necessities ─ you may think that her model is reserved for maximalist kitchens. The good news is, you don’t have to be a billionaire living in a mansion before you can have a fabulously tidy kitchen like your favorite Kardashian sister.
This article shares three tips we learned from Khloe’s kitchen and how you can apply them to your pantry.
- Maximize your space – Our Organization Queen uses different sizes of Linus Deep Drawer bins, acrylic bins, OXO canisters, cereal dispensers and jars, and Inter Design Lazy Susans to make the best use of her floor-to-ceiling shelves in an orderly manner. Deep drawers provide room for canned foods, and cereal dispensers for cereals, sugar, flour, and rice, while canisters store long pasta in one place. A lazy susan turntable used in a tiered cabinet can make room for more frequently used items.
- Shelving/Labeling – Khloe is more than the OG creator of the cookie jar stack with her brilliant arrangement skills. Each tier of her shelves showcases an orderly arrangement of Khloe’s favorite foods by category. Your pantry can be sectioned according to food types with strategic placing according to the frequency of use of each item for easy access. Khloe labels each of her items with large bold white fonts. This way, you know what goes where. The chances of mixing up ingredients are reduced, and your pantry stays organized.
- Color and Lighting – If there’s anything we learned from Khloe’s ROYGBIV fridge arrangement system, it’s how she’s particular about the visuals of her space. In the pantry, she uses uniform, whitewashed rattan bins as storage baskets, light wooden drawers matching with the cereal dispensers, and jars, all blending perfectly with shelf color. The color aesthetic is further highlighted by the special lighting in the room that ensures every corner is illuminated. Your kitchen does not have to be in a unique color system, but you can have a uniform look with your cabinets by using similar container products and lighting up your pantry.
Combining these three techniques can help avoid the mental stress of looking for things every time you need them and have a working knowledge of the food supply available in your home. Plus, you get the bragging right of having a Kardashian-model kitchen.
