Decorating Ideas Pioneer Woman Kitchen Ideas

Kevin J. Miyazaki

Creating the neat, tidy kitchen of your dreams can sometimes seem like a very...very...far reach. But we promise—once you get in there, it's actually way easier than you imagined. Take a tip from Ree Drummond, for example. She can maximize the storage in any room and make it both functional and charming. (Have you seen her pantry walls and refrigerator shelves?) Let Ree be the guide on your decluttering journey with some of her gorgeous kitchen items, like a floral cutlery tray, pretty spice jars, and even cookie jars!

When you're organizing your kitchen, keep functionality in mind. For instance, take a peek at Ree's kitchen at the Lodge. There's a shelf above the stove for easy access to cookbooks and commonly used utensils. You can find similar tricks in this list of favorite pantry organization ideas, including using clear storage containers and installing open shelving. You should also remember that small changes can make a big impact, so consider simple upgrades like putting up a magnetic knife rack or making an attractive display out of wooden cutting boards. Whether you need a lot of help or just a few quick tips, you'll find what you need in this list of the best kitchen storage ideas.

Consider Two Kitchen Islands

If you have the space for it, two kitchen islands are storage lifesavers. Maria Lichty, who runs the blog Two Peas and Their Pod with her husband, added a double island to their spacious kitchen. "It's the best thing we did," she says.
