Where to position a fridge for a practical kitchen that's easy to navigate

P icture the scene: you’re busy in the kitchen, the kids are running in and out to grab drinks from the fridge, other family members are perusing snacks because they’re a bit peckish and, if you’re entertaining, guests may even be helping themselves to top ups. If your fridge is located right where you’re prepping, this traffic may well be getting under your feet. Annoying? Yes, probably.

When planning kitchen appliance layout ideas , it’s wise to carefully consider where your fridge will go right from the start. Of course, you need easy access for cooking, grabbing the milk and putting things away, but you also need it to be strategically placed so the area doesn’t become your home’s version of Piccadilly Circus.

‘It's important to avoid placing the fridge in high-traffic areas, especially if you have a busy family or entertain frequently,’ says Cassie Jones, brand manager at Masterclass Kitchens . ‘Keeping the fridge out of the main prep zones and busy pathways will enhance kitchen efficiency.'

Where to position a fridge in a kitchen

First and foremost, convenience is key. You want your fridge to be easily accessible from the cooking areas and where you prepare meals, but also for those times when you or anyone in the house needs to grab and go.

Think about the routes you might take through the kitchen when you’re cooking, packing lunches, baking or making a drink, as well as when you’re unloading shopping. You don’t want to be trekking all the way across the space every time you need an ingredient and you’ll likely need some worktop space nearby for loading and unloading too.

So, to make the most of your space and get the best out of your kitchen layout ideas , where is it best to position your fridge?

1. Think about the working triangle

The working triangle is a tried and tested principle of kitchen design. Essentially, think of your oven, sink and fridge as the three points of a triangle. When they are placed in this format, your kitchen layout should be efficient and easy to manoeuvre around.

‘Deciding on the placement of your oven and sink is crucial when determining the best location for the fridge,’ explains Cassie. ‘Ideally, the fridge should be positioned near the food prep area. If your design includes a corner pantry, placing the fridge close by ensures easy accessibility and a more enjoyable cooking experience.’

For maximum convenience and where space allows, aim to position the fridge within a few steps of the main preparation and cooking area, but not too close so it disrupts the overall flow of the space.

2. Consider who lives in the house

While convenience and efficiency are key factors to consider when narrowing down your kitchen ideas and appliance choices, don’t forget about the people in your house – after all, they’re the ones that will be using the space every day and arguably, the fridge probably sees the most action of all the appliances, right?

Who uses the fridge most, when and what for? Do the kids run in from school and head straight for the snack drawer? Are you a keen cook and need easy access to ingredients? Do you love to entertain and are happy to let guests help themselves?

‘In a busy family kitchen , the fridge should be easily accessible for everyone, including children. Placing it near the entrance to the kitchen or close to a pantry can be a good idea. This way, kids can grab snacks without getting in the way of cooking,’ says Josie Medved, design manager at Symphony Group . ‘This setup allows family members to grab snacks without interfering with the cooking area.’

If you’re a keen cook, the fridge should be very close to the cooking areas to minimise the time spent fetching ingredients. ‘Then for someone who entertains often, consider a fridge that’s accessible from the dining area or even having an additional beverage fridge in the entertaining space,’ Josie suggests.

Doug Haswell, furniture manager at Caple agrees: ‘If you are not a cook but generally entertain you want to give the kitchen area an open feeling of space, so placing the fridge at the end of a run is preferable.’

3. Remember safety

A fridge is an electrical appliance after all and, when complete with water and ice dispensers, will be fed by mains water too. So safety is key. A kitchen designer and appliance supplier will be able to advise on the best positioning when you come to buy your kit, but as a guide, avoid positioning the fridge next to a direct heat source like an oven, range cooker, radiant heat appliance like an Aga, or radiator.

‘Avoid anywhere in direct sunlight and other sources that generate heat as the fridge will have to work harder to stay cool and therefore wastes energy,’ says Doug.

4. Hide away the fridge

Not sure you want your fridge on show? ‘Integrated fridges are an excellent choice for those wanting a sleek, uncluttered kitchen design,’ says Cassie.

There are a couple of practicalities to remember here too though. ‘It's essential to ensure appropriate airflow at the top and bottom of the cabinetry to maintain the appliance's efficiency. These can be seamlessly integrated into the kitchen design, with metallic finishes to match other elements,’ Cassie explains.

Whether freestanding or integrated, the points above on the positioning of the fridge still apply, so figure out where a tall unit for a fitted fridge will work best in your layout.

5. Do the double

If budget allows and you’re in need of the extra cool kitchen storage space, having two fridges can be very beneficial. For example, you could have one for food and one for drinks, or simply have twice the space to cater to a large family or store in bulk. Where a double fridge-freezer, like an American-style design, won’t fit in your space, you could still achieve the storage space with one fridge within the kitchen and another located elsewhere.

‘Consider placing the second fridge in the pantry or utility room to maximise space in the main kitchen area,’ Cassie suggests.

‘Position them strategically – one near the prep area and the other in a more accessible spot for guests or bulk storage,’ adds Josie.

Which direction should my fridge face?

The direction of your fridge depends on a few different factors: the space available in the kitchen layout, the main purpose of the fridge and who will most use it, plus how the space flows.

You don’t want the position or direction of the fridge to create a barrier within the space, block light or impede flow, so aim to place it where it won’t be too obtrusive but where it is still easily accessible – it’s a careful balancing act, we know.

In terms of practicality, think about which way you’d like the fridge door to open. Many single door designs allow you to swap the orientation to suit your kitchen layout and preference so keep an eye out for this feature when shopping. Also, make sure there’s enough room for the door to swing open and not block any walkways through the space.

Does a fridge have to be against the wall?

A fridge doesn’t have to be against a wall but it does need proper ventilation space around it. That’s the case whether it’s a tall freestanding fridge, an integrated design, a double door or an undercounter style.

‘Ensure there’s adequate clearance on all sides, and it should be near a power outlet. For plumbed-in fridges, access to a water line is essential,’ says Josie Medved, design manager at Symphony Group . ‘Proper housing will also allow for easier cleaning and maintenance access.’

Undercounter fridges or wine coolers can be ideally located within a kitchen island or within a peninsula and are ideal as secondary appliances if you have a larger fridge elsewhere in the kitchen. Or why not add an undercounter design to a utility room?

Ultimately, knowing where to position a fridge comes down to the shape, size and layout of your kitchen as well as your family needs. Plan with practicality in mind and your fridge layout will be a seamless part of your design.

Russia was scared to fly its Su-57 in combat, fearing a loss. Ukraine scored a hit on one anyway.

• Russia has largely kept its Su-57 fighter jets out of the war in Ukraine, fearing a combat loss.
• But on Saturday, Ukrainian forces struck one of the aircraft hundreds of miles from the battlefield.
• It marked the first-ever hit on Russia's much-celebrated fighter.

Russia has tried to keep its very limited number of Su-57 fighter jets hidden from the war in Ukraine, fearing that a combat loss would be a blow to the aircraft's reputation, according to Western intelligence and aviation experts.

But over the weekend, Ukraine damaged one of the fifth-generation fighters anyway in a long-range strike hundreds of miles inside Russian territory, underscoring the vulnerabilities to Moscow's most-celebrated weapons — even if they're far from the battlefield.

A Su-57 was "hit for the first time" on Saturday in an attack on Russia's Akhtubinsk airfield, located more than 365 miles from the front line, the Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence wrote in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.

To back up its claims, the HUR shared satellite imagery purportedly showing some damage to the aircraft as a result of the strike, as well as visible explosion and burn marks on the tarmac in the immediate vicinity of the fighter jet.

The extent of the damage is ultimately unclear, and Business Insider was unable to immediately verify the imagery.

Multiple Su-57s could be seen at the Akhtubinsk airfield as early as December 2022, according to satellite images shared by Britain's defense ministry.

In both images, the Su-57s appear parked outside without any hardened shelters. The Saturday imagery does appear to reveal some sort of arched structure, but whatever it is did not prevent the attack, which was reportedly carried out by a low-cost Ukrainian drone.

This particular detail has not gone over well with Moscow's war commentators.

"Russian milbloggers seized on the June 8 strike to criticize the Russian military command for not constructing hangars to hide Russian aircraft from Ukrainian strikes," analysts at the Institute for the Study of War think tank wrote in a Monday assessment .

The milbloggers "claimed that Russian forces could construct hangars at every military airfield in Russia for the cost of one Su-57 aircraft," which costs an estimated $35 million, the analysts noted.

Russia's problematic Su-57 program

The twin-engine Su-57, known by NATO as the 'Felon,' is Russia's first attempt at a fifth-generation fighter , although analysts have often questioned whether the aircraft can actually claim that status considering that it apparently lacks some of the necessary capabilities.

Russian state media has often touted the Su-57 as being comparable to — or even better than — American fifth-generation stealth fighters like the F-22 and F-35. But it is riddled with technical issues , including a lack of stealth-capable engines and body panels that are tight enough to sufficiently reduce the radar signature.

The aircraft first saw combat in Syria in 2018 and was delivered to the Russian military in 2020. Kremlin officials have claimed that the Su-57 has seen combat in Ukraine, although the evidence supporting the claims is extremely limited.

Western intelligence and aviation experts have said that Russia's reluctance to employ the Su-57 in combat suggests it is eager to avoid any reputational damage, the loss of sensitive technologies, and reduced export possibilities that could occur if the aircraft is shot down by Ukraine. Additionally, Moscow may not be confident in the aircraft's purported stealth capabilities.

The HUR said that the Su-57 is Russia's "most modern fighter," capable of launching Kh-59/69 missiles, and there are only "a few" of the fighters in service. Ukraine's Southern Command specified that Kyiv on Saturday struck one of six operational aircraft. Moscow has a similar number of unfinished jets.

Russian state media has suggested the military will eventually field dozens of Su-57s by the end of the decade, but it's unclear if these plans will materialize.

Justin Bronk, an airpower and technology expert at the UK-based Royal United Services Institute think tank, said the Ukrainian strike on Saturday is a "significant symbolic blow" to Moscow's "long-troubled" Su-57 program, though its direct effect on the war will be "almost non-existent."

"Due to its small fleet size, the political humiliation if one were to be shot down, and slow aircraft systems development, the Su-57 has played an extremely minor role in the conflict to date," Bronk wrote in a Monday analysis .

He said that the strike demonstrates that Ukraine has a "relatively mature low-cost long-range harassment capability" that it can use to strike military bases deep inside Russia.

Ukraine has relied on an arsenal of homemade, long-range exploding drones to repeatedly strike military and energy targets hundreds of miles inside Russian territory over the past few months because Kyiv had been unable to do so with Western-provided missiles. Some of these restrictions, however, have been relaxed in recent weeks, giving Ukraine more options.
