Refrigerators: Getting a Built-In Look |
 A growing demand for refrigerator models that effectively conceal the presence of the refrigerator in the kitchen has inspired several alternatives, including:
Veneered flush refrigerator
You can recess a freestanding refrigerator back into the wall so that it is flush with the cabinets and then cover it with matching veneer or cabinet panels. Drawer cooler
A more expensive solution is a compact refrigerator drawer unit that fits into a cabinet. These models can be paneled to match surrounding cabinets or finished in a sleek contrasting material such as stainless steel or glass.
Undercounter models
Both refrigerators and freezers are available in compact sizes to fit under counters. They measure 33 to 34 inches in height and vary quite a bit in width: from 18 to 57 inches. Depths range from 25 to 30 inches, but trim models are available that will slide into the standard 24-inch-deep base-cabinet runs.
