How do you maximize that awkward space above the fridge?
This is a great question and one that I get asked a lot! There are a few different ways that you can maximize that awkward space above the fridge. One way is to use it as storage for things that you don’t use very often.
This could be things like holiday decor, extra cookware, or even just extra food that you don’t want to have to store in your main pantry. This is a great way to make use of that space without having to put too much thought into it. Another way to maximize that space is to use it as a mini-bar.
This is a great option if you entertain often or just like to have a nice selection of drinks on hand. You can put a few shelves up there and stock them with your favorite wines, liquors, and mixers. Then, when you have guests over, you can just grab what you need without having to go all the way to the kitchen.
Conclusion
If your new fridge is too tall, don’t worry! There are a few things you can do to fix the problem. First, try moving the fridge to a different location in the kitchen.
If that doesn’t work, you can try adjusting the legs on the fridge until it’s the right height. If all else fails, you can always call a professional to help you out.
