If you search Pinterest, Instagram or watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians, then you’ve probably seen some amazing organized spaces.  They are so amazing, you probably ask yourself….”do they even use eat any of the food items displayed in those bins and containers”?  You may also ask….”do they constantly replenish these items on a weekly basis in order to maintain the aesthetic”?  There were certainly questions that I would often ponder until I began purposefully organizing my own spaces. So today, I will show you how to hack Khloe Kardashian’s pantry using only IKEA products.

It’s that time of the year when we intentionally set out to get our “house” in order.  Whether it’s creating vision boards, setting goals or clearing out the clutter, the majority of us or on a quest to find peace and harmony within our lives.

One of the ways I find peace and harmony within my home is to constantly purge my things and organize the remaining items in a systematic and eye-pleasing manner. 

For this blog post, I would like to share how you too can achieve the look of an aesthetically pleasing pantry that is worthy of a cameo on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.  I’ve chosen to dissect Khloe Kardashians’ pantry and share tips on how you can achieve this look for less using inexpensive items that can be found at IKEA.

Here are recommendations on how you too can create Khloe Kardashian’s pantry that is harmonious and pretty:

Baskets:

The baskets used by The Home Edit Team are from The Container Store.  These are on the high end for a sturdy rattan basket. As a dupe for these baskets, I would recommend the Byholma gray baskets from IKEA.  They are available in two sizes (9” and 14’) respectively.  These are hand-woven rattan baskets, so they offer the sturdiness of the baskets used by Khloe.  These baskets (or bins) would help you contain pasta sauces, salsa, canned goods, chips, and boxed dinner meals.

• IKEA Byholma Gray Baskets (Right) – $9.99 – $12.99/ea

Clear Canisters:

If you’re like me, you probably have a lot of dry goods that you need to contain.  What better way to organize these items than to place them into clear containers and label them.  This is how you reduce clutter and also prevent overspending on items you already have in the pantry.

The professional organizers used various canisters from the OXO brand that was purchased at The Container Store.  These POP Canisters are a great option for cereal, rice, oatmeal and chia seeds.  They can be very pricey if you have a lot of dry goods.

Do not fret…..I have you covered!  The Ikea 365+ dry food containers are a great item if you want to stick with a small budget.  They are BPA free plastic containers, and they come in two sizes (44 ounce and 2 quart). 

• The Container Store OXO Good Grips 3.4 qt POP Cereal Dispensers (left) – $22.99/ea
• IKEA 365+ Dry Food Jar with Lid (Right) – $4.99 – $5.99/ea

If you prefer a glass option, Ikea has a large selection of jars within the Korken line.  These jars have an airtight seal which will help extend the life of your dry goods.  No more chip clips on all of your rice and pasta.  These jars range in sizes from 4 ounces to 1.9 quart.  They are a very economical option and are priced between $2.99 and $4.99 each.

Bins:

The clear bins used in this pantry are very common for organizing throughout the home.  They are great if you like to see all of your items or if you like to color code your items!

There are two Ikea options that I would recommend to help contain smaller items such as kid snacks, packets, individual bags of chips and popcorn and other items that can easily be grouped together.

If you want to look of clear or translucent bins, I would recommend the Godmorgon series.  These boxes (with lids) are clear with the smokey look.  They are sold in a grouping of five boxes that vary in size.  Since they are all the same height, it could totally work when group together.

Turnables:

If you have a smaller pantry, and space is a premium, lazy susans are often a great solution.  Although IKEA does sell a lazy susan, it’s not cheap or very functional.  The Container Store options aren’t cheap either, so I recommend the Variera stationary shelf inserts (comes in two sizes) from IKEA.  If you run out of space, they can help you maximize your vertical space.  Of course, it’s only helpful if you have a solid surface to place them on.  If you have wire shelving, this option will not be optimal.

Labels:

Don’t forget the labels once you’ve perfectly organized your pantry.  The labels used on Khloe’s dry goods bins and canisters are custom made labels by The Home Edit.  They also used the bin clips on the baskets.

If you want to affix a label to the clear bins, jars and canisters, IKEA now offers labels (2 sizes) that can be used.  You can use a non-permanent marker if you want to change up the contents.  You get 50 labels….what a great value!

If you want to achieve the Khloe Kardashian cookie jar look, get the Vardagen 64 ounce jar with the lid.  Have fun arranging your chocolate and vanilla Oreo cookies for display in your pantry or countertop!

So there you have it…..a Khloe Kardashian-esque pantry on an IKEA budget.  Thank you so much for stopping by! Good luck with your budget pantry organizing project. As can be seen on my pretty and practical pantry post (here), I too have a Khloe Kardashian inspired pantry.
