Are you sick of your big, bulky refrigerator being the focal point of your otherwise beautiful kitchen? Well, you obviously can’t get rid of it, so do the next best thing and cover it up! If you are looking for some design inspiration, Houzz has provided several great examples of people seamlessly integrating their refrigerator into the rest of their kitchen.

Here’s some of their best work:

Double the Fun

What’s better than one refrigerator? Two refrigerators! This arrangement not only adds to the functionality of your kitchen, its symmetrical qualities make it pleasing to the eye as well.

Chalk It Out

What better way to hide your refrigerator than behind a fun chalkboard? This idea is great for homes with children, or even those that just want an extra-large surface to jot down their daily to-do list.

 

stainless

Stainless Steel Galore

Maybe contemporary cabinetry isn’t your style. That’s okay, you can still have a sleek kitchen. Just surround your oven with your refrigerator and deck it all out in stainless steel – just make sure to keep it clean.

 

stretch

Stretched Out

What is that tall, narrow cabinet in the left of the picture? Oh, it’s a refrigerator? By simply tweaking the dimensions of a standard fridge, this tall, slender model adds an extra layer of camouflage to further help it blend into the kitchen.

 

ovens

Split the Ovens

If you have two ovens in your kitchen, they are likely stacked atop one another, but it doesn’t need to be that way. This designer chose to arrange them side-by-side, with a well-placed fridge smack dab in the middle of them.

 

armoire

Armoire In The Kitchen?

Maybe it looks a little out of place, but it is so aesthetically pleasing that you just don’t care. What used to be an eyesore is now a piece of beauty that you would be proud to call the centerpiece of your kitchen.

What To Do When You Run Out of Room in Your Refrigerator

Cleaning & Organization Tips, , , ,

We’ve all been there – you come home from the grocery store, and as you go to put the milk away in the refrigerator, you quickly discover that there is nowhere to put it. If you frequently find yourself running out of room in the fridge, here are a few things you can try.

Conduct a Cleanout

There is a good possibility that valuable space is currently being taken up by foods which are spoiled or simply unused. Take all of the food out of your refrigerator and sort through every item one-by-one, throwing away everything that has already expired or will expire before you get a chance to eat it. Doing this should help you clear up some space.

Rearrange the Shelves

Most refrigerators come with adjustable shelves so you can organize them to better suit your storage needs. Taking a few minutes to tinker with their arrangement can help you maximize your vertical space and fit oversized and oddly-shaped items which you may not have thought possible.

Rethink Your Organization

There are some tips and tricks you can use to help you make the most out of the room in your refrigerator. For example, use square-shaped containers instead of circular ones because the round edges result in lost space. Click here for eight organization hacks you can try yourself.
