Open shelves often spark debate among designers: some love the personality they add, while others point out how difficult it is to keep things organized. However, one look at Cameron Diaz's kitchen shelves clearly speaks in favor of this storage system as its style is undeniable in her space.
Diaz's open shelf is an exceptional example and includes a collection of beautifully decorated porcelain bowls (like these from Wayfair), fluted dinnerware (from Amazon), and oil dispensers that are equal parts practical and pretty.
This style is valued because it allows us to showcase everyday items that reflect our personalities – perhaps bowls in our favorite fall colors or a treasured family heirloom. While you may want to copy some of Diaz's purchases, the key is to combine them with items you already own. It is precisely this personal touch that makes an open shelf truly unique.
Beyond this kitchen storage idea, Diaz's entire space offers further shopping inspiration with products that are decorative yet practical. The actress is one of many Hollywood figures known to rely on the Hexclad frying pan (on Amazon), and her Cosori Pro Gen 2 Air Fryer is a top-notch model.
As the holiday season approaches and kitchen upgrades become more and more attractive, we've hand-picked some of our favorite products below to help you bring the Diaz-inspired look into your own kitchen (including some of the exact pieces from her shelves and countertops).

White ceramic bowls from Maison Neuve
A closer look at Diaz's iconic open shelves reveals her approach to cookware: quietly luxurious. Although the palette is understated, the rich textures of these bowls give them a subtle allure, earning them a place of honor in the heart of your kitchen and of course on our curated open shelves.
Wind Ml glass olive oil dispenser
As if the “Cooking with Cameron” clip wasn't proof enough, Diaz clearly loves putting her cooking skills to the test. A glass oil dispenser sits front and center on her stove. This thoughtful piece features a precisely designed spout for perfect pouring and an integrated collar to catch drips, keeping countertops clean and pristine.
If we had to pick a favorite from Diaz's shelves, it would be her intricate porcelain-style bowl, nestled among a curated mix of painted dishes in various hues. The blue and white piece features a finely detailed 18th century oriental imari border surrounding a scene inspired by the Italian countryside, making it a stunning addition to any kitchen.
Hexclad Hybrid Non-Stick Frying Pan
When it comes to cookware, it's hard to argue with the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Halle Berry and Cameron Diaz. The pan that brings them together is a nonstick skillet, which Ramsay praises for cooking “to absolute perfection.” Diaz features it in many of her cooking videos, and investing in this piece quickly shows why it remains her trusty favorite.
Golden Rabbit Set of 4 Red Swirl Soup Bowls
Bring eye-catching style to your open shelves with the red and white swirl enamel dinnerware. Its casually sophisticated design adds a cheerful pop of color and vibrancy while remaining practical for cooking, serving and storing meals, making it as beautiful as it is functional.
Cosori Pro Gen 2 Air Fryer
It's always a pleasure to discover the air fryers celebrities rely on, and Diaz's selection delivers just right. The Cosori Pro Gen 2 is equipped with a built-in NTC sensor that keeps temperature fluctuations within 3°F, ensuring perfectly even cooking every time. No wonder this elegant appliance deserves a permanent place in your kitchen.
