Where would you put a full depth fridge?

I'm trying to find the best place for a microwave, single wall oven and refrigerator. The first picture is the kitchen I was going to get, with the addition of cabinetry on the wall where the man is standing (a pantry cabinet, wall oven stacked with microwave, and...what?). Then I fell in love with the kitchen in the second and third pictures, but a full depth fridge in a wall full of cabinets would look awful :( Can't afford built in fridge and there are six of us and a counter depth fridge just isn't going to cut it. Also I can't really spring for the custom hood and hood insert, etc over a range, so what would I put there? Just a standard hood? Stainless? Help! I'm so confused...

    I think you need to revisit going with a counter depth fridge. I just went appliance shopping today and I know they make some great storage options which should suit your family. (plus you could always do a cheap extra fridge or freezer in the garage for storage)Consider a Jenn-Air or Kitchen Aid counter depth fridge which go up to 72 in high.(around $2500-$3000). These are french doors with the freezer in the bottom. Also, I would splurge a little on my fridge and then go less amount on some of the others. Consider a Liebherr fridge which is basically a cross between a built in and a counter depth and has a height of 80 inches and 36 inch width for around $5200. As far as hood for the range- Vent a Hood has some great prices and can do just about any size you need.

      Hi Cassmyth,

      Is the kitchen in the first picture the actual kitchen or are you redoing a different kitchen to look like it?

      If you're building a separate wall of cabinets with the frig in the middle, and you have the floor space, you can always set the surrounding cabinets out from the wall the same depth as the full size frig, and attach deeper end panels at both ends of your cabinet run. As for the hood, you can get a Broan hood with hidden controls under the hood at Sears. You can frame it out and cover it with either wood panels or sheetrock and attach your mantel. You don't have to go high tech with an insert.

      Thanks for all the input!

      We're building a house and the size of our kitchen is the same as in the second and third picture (about 16 x 18). We're still contemplating a number of different layouts (although that basic "u" shape and island remain the same), but I definitely want a full depth fridge, so the thought was to start with the most difficult to place appliance. Please feel free to recommend a completely different layout if you think it works better. :)

      Our appliances are:

      Slide in range w/hood
      Built in microwave
      Built in single wall oven
      Full depth fridge
      Dishwasher

      klsmit1 - Wow - what a simple and great solution! This may be a silly question, but how far can you set out the cabinets from the wall? Is there a limit? Or do they just add another 2x4 for support?

      Well, if you're building your home, that's a different matter. You have complete control over wall placement, and building a false wall with additional depth to accommodate your frig. That's exactly what we did when we remodeled our kitchen. I wanted a full size frig but the look of a counter depth. We built the wall behind our frig 6 inches into the adjoining room, and then double framed the wall next to the frig to bring the cabinets forward to end up flush with the front of the frig. If it's new construction, you can pretty much lay out the wall and cabinets however works best. I'd consult your architect and/or contractor to see how they can design the wall to meet your needs.

      In photo 2 you could have return walls left and right 34 inches deep pull the pantry and oven cabinet
      and refigerator cabinet out to 30 inches. That should work to make all flush. if more is needed recess wall behind refrig, you can get another 3 inches without going into the next room .34 inches needed to handle the cabinet crown. The wall space needed is 109 inches. 9 for thickness of return walls 4 for fillers on oven and pantry you dont want shoved them to the wall and a 30 panty 36 ref and a 30 oven .

      Due to a kitchen remodel, then a move, I have had 3 different fridges in the last 3 years.

      First was the largest standard depth (26 cubic feet), replaced with a counter depth model (20.5 cubic feet), and after the move a 42" built-in ( listed as 24.6 cubic feet).

      My favorite? The counter depth one!

      I don't know if you would find it in the mfg info, but Consumer Reports lists in their comparison charts - the USABLE cubic feet, and it can vary greatly from the listed cubic feet size!

      My current built in seems large, but there are so many features inside, it is NOT user friendly, at all!
