Re: No Fridge in the Kitchen???? Would you do this? 12Jul 19, 2011 8:49 am thanks for the varied responses. My hubby is just thinking of resale down the track, which I suppose I agree but i just don't like the look of our fridge but it works fine so I will not replace it just because of the look of it. In the end I am sure we will end up with a fridge in the kitchen. I was just looking for a bit of a backup for my side of the argument of fridge or no fridge with hubby... I still think for looks it would look better in the pantry... will have to keep trying to find a good reason to sell to him... Re: No Fridge in the Kitchen???? Would you do this? 13Jul 19, 2011 9:30 am If you don't like the look of a fridge in the kitchen have you thought about an integrated model? I think someone on this forum chose this for their kitchen but atm I can't think who it was...maybe someone else can help? My fridge is white, as are the other appliances, because I feel these blend in better with my white gloss kitchen, stainless appliances (imho) are too much of a contrast, besides being a pain to keep clean. One house we owned didn't have space in the kitchen for the upright freezer and it had to go in the (huge) laundry and that was a pita, so I would never choose to have the fridge out of the kitchen as it's used more often than a freezer. I would never buy a house that didn't have a large space in the kitchen for a fridge, then again it's your house so you should do what suits you, unless you are planning to sell sooner rather than later.

If you put it in the pantry could you put an integrated bar fridge in the kitchen? you can keep all the main stuff in the pantry fridge and everyday stuff (milk, marg, drink etc) in the bar fridge You can pay about $50 and get an integration kit so it looks like a kitchen cupboard Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Building with Fairmont Homes NSW at Glenmore Ridge Lot 1007 Our Builder http://www.fairmonthomesnsw.com.au Our Blog http://drewandrenee.blogspot.com/ Re: No Fridge in the Kitchen???? Would you do this? 15Jul 20, 2011 11:42 pm I like that idea... or maybe just get a fridge with an integrated door...hmmmmmm Re: No Fridge in the Kitchen???? Would you do this? 16Jul 21, 2011 9:39 am We are planning on putting our spare fridge which now lives in the garage into the pantry when we build and will certainly be looking into the integrated one for the kitchen. Love the clean streamline look of no fridge too. In the end, do what's right and would work for you and your family. Don't get too bogged down with resale. Everyone's taste are very different. Re: No Fridge in the Kitchen???? Would you do this? 17Jul 21, 2011 10:41 am We have our fridge in the pantry. I love it and would do it again if I ever built. We have the toaster, sandwich press, milkshake maker, blender, etc all in the pantry on the bench and there's also a sink in there. It's great because if someone wants a snack they get it in the pantry and out of the way of anyone cooking in the kitchen. It's no further away than it would have been in it's original spot. We altered the original fridge place in the kitchen and made it into a phone/bills nook with bench and overhead cupboards and a stool underneath. Now all that crap that usually accumulates on the kitchen bench has a place. The other issue is, because it's hidden, it doesn't matter what it looks like. I'm happy to save money and keep our white crappy fridge... but in the main kitchen it would have looked not so great. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Would you do this? 19Aug 01, 2011 5:12 pm We are putting our fridge in our pantry as well. I do have an under bench fridge going into the main kitchen for things like milk, butter and everyday use items like drinks though. I guess we will just have to see how it goes. I'm also not planning on moving for a very long time so for me resale isn't an issue. Re: No Fridge in the Kitchen???? Would you do this? 20Aug 11, 2011 7:32 am A fridge with an integrated door seems like the best option. Keep in mind that it is a home not a display house.... what looks the best isn't always the most practical. Good luck. Thanks mate. Yeah good points!
