Kitchen Design Faux Pas

by tracy on May 18, 2010

What’s wrong with this picture? The wall next to this fridge is too deep preventing the door from opening all the way.

How would you like to battle to get anything in or out of the freezer side of this refrigerator on a daily basis? Forget about pulling out or removing the shelves or baskets.

Although avoiding this problem seems like a no-brainer, I continue to see this design error in various levels of homes. This picture was taken in a model home. Think about how many times this problem will be duplicated.

If the refrigerator must be up against a side wall, make sure the wall is shallow enough that the refrigerator door can swing open to its full extent, as shown here.
