Measuring your space
If you’ve already found the refrigerator you want but are wondering if it will fit into your home, follow these tips to make sure you have enough room:
When measuring for width
Make sure to measure width in at least three locations: top, middle and bottom and account for countertops and baseboards.
When measuring for depth
Measure from the edge of your countertop to the back wall to make sure your fridge doesn’t stick out. Also, take note of any issues like electrical outlets or baseboards.
Remember to leave some breathing room
You’ll need at least 1 inch on either side, 1 inch along the top, and 2 inches in the back. Plus, if a side has a door hinge, you’ll want at least 2 inches on that side.
Picking the right fridge
French Door
With side-by-side doors for the fridge and a bottom freezer drawer, French door models make it easy to grab the food that you reach for the most. Plus, French door refrigerators don’t need as much clearance for their doors, making them perfect if you’ve got a small space.
