Where is the refrigerator usually placed in the home? How to place the refrigerator appropriately?

We all know that the refrigerator is a relatively large household appliance in the home. It can play a good role in preserving food. It is mainly used to preserve food and is very popular among people. The size of the refrigerator is generally a bit large, and many people will be entangled in the placement of the refrigerator. So where is the best place to put the refrigerator? Let's take a closer look!

Where can you put a refrigerator?

In a home, I think there are generally several spaces where refrigerators can be placed, including the kitchen, dining room, western kitchen area, bar area, reception area, wine tasting area, and living room. Among them, the kitchen, dining room, and western kitchen area are more commonly placed areas.

In my opinion, the appropriate space for placing a refrigerator is not "fixed". For different families, the types of functional areas of the house, space area, living habits, and even the number of refrigerators will all lead to different suitable spaces for placing the refrigerator.

Where is the best place to put the refrigerator?

⑴ Western kitchen area closer to the kitchen

There is a western kitchen area at home, and it is relatively close to the kitchen. I think this would be a more suitable space for placing a refrigerator, because the refrigerator can store the food or items needed for these two spaces at the same time. For example, vegetables used in the kitchen and the western kitchen area can be used for wine tasting, chatting, and leisure. Snacks and drinks, etc. are all more suitable to be placed in the refrigerator; and placing the refrigerator in the western kitchen area can keep it away from the erosion of oil smoke and is not easily contaminated.

⑵Kitchen

If there is no western kitchen area in the house or the western kitchen area is far away from the kitchen, and the kitchen is frequently used, and the area allows, I think the kitchen is also a more suitable space for the refrigerator. It is convenient to use and can avoid "occupying" the area of ​​other spaces, allowing other spaces to have a better decorative effect.

The disadvantage of placing a refrigerator in the kitchen area is that there will be oil stains. Also, since the refrigerator uses electricity and is close to natural gas, if there is a gas leak and it encounters electricity, it will explode. Therefore, the refrigerator should be placed away from the stove and natural gas valve.

⑶ Restaurant

If there is no western kitchen and the kitchen area is smaller, the dining room is also a more suitable space for placement because it is usually closer to the kitchen and more convenient to use.

In order to make the refrigerator better "integrate" into the restaurant area, you can "package" the refrigerator by matching it with cabinet settings that match the restaurant style. However, you need to understand the size of the refrigerator and the location of the heat dissipation vents so that it does not affect the heat dissipation and makes the space effect more "perfect."

Considerations for choosing refrigerator placement space

Learn the considerations for choosing a refrigerator that fits in your home and “find” the space in your home that’s right for your refrigerator.

⑴Choose according to the function of the refrigerator

In different households, refrigerators have different functions. Find a more suitable space for them according to their functions. For example, if there is a kitchen and a western kitchen area at home, but the kitchen is mostly "idle", and the western kitchen is more frequently used, then the western kitchen area will be a more suitable space for it...

⑵Choose according to the number of refrigerators

In some families, there may be more than one refrigerator, so the space suitable for placing refrigerators will not be single. For example, there are two refrigerators in the home. One is mainly used to store vegetables, condiments, etc., so it would be more appropriate to place it in the kitchen, the western dining area close to the kitchen, or the dining room; the other is mainly used to store wine, beverages and other drinks, so it would be more appropriate to place it in the western kitchen area or the bar area.

⑶Choose according to the space area

Since refrigerators are generally large in size, there are certain requirements for the area of ​​the space they are placed in. I believe that the space is suitable only if the area requirements of the refrigerator are met while ensuring the normal use of the space functions. If the placement of the refrigerator causes the original function of the space to be "weakened" or even cannot be used normally, then in my opinion, this is not a suitable placement space for it.

For example, when the kitchen area is small, the cabinets can be used without the refrigerator. After putting the refrigerator in, the cabinet area is greatly reduced, which not only reduces the comfort of use but may even make it impossible to use normally. In this case, I think the kitchen is no longer a suitable space for the refrigerator.

⑷Choose according to the functional areas of the home

Not every family has a western kitchen area, bar area, reception area, wine tasting area, etc. Smaller families may not have a dining room, so the appropriate placement of the refrigerator may need to be chosen between the living room and the kitchen. Therefore, the suitable placement space for the refrigerator should be selected in the functional area of ​​the home, and cannot be blindly selected.

⑸Choose according to the environment effect you want to create

The "existence" of the refrigerator will have a certain impact on the environmental effect of the space, especially when the refrigerator "exists alone", such as placing it alone in the dining room, living room and other areas will have a somewhat abrupt feeling, and its "weak" decorativeness will also lower the "appearance" of the space to a certain extent. Although combining it with the cabinet will reduce this effect, it cannot reach the level of "no impact", so you also have to choose according to the space effect you want to create.

⑹Choose according to family living habits

In my opinion, for a family, the appropriate placement of the refrigerator is also related to the family's living habits. Making it more convenient to use is also an important criterion for the appropriate location of the refrigerator. For example, when the kitchen and the western kitchen area can accommodate the refrigerator, but you are more accustomed to putting it in the kitchen, then put it in the kitchen, away from the stove and natural gas valve.

⑺Choose according to personal preference

It is important to like what you like in your own home. As long as the space allows, you can choose where to put the refrigerator. The location you like will be the suitable location for the refrigerator.
