Hey everyone! I'm about to buy my first fridge and I've got some concerns about how the standard depth models will fit in my kitchen. I don't want it to stick out too much from the wall and look bulky. Here's the scoop on my space: it's 72" from the floor to the bottom of the cabinets, 37" 7/8 wide, and the right wall is 30" 1/8 deep while the left wall (where the cabinets are) is 24" 1/8 deep. I'm eyeing the Bespoke standard depth fridge, which measures 35 6/8 inches wide, 70 inches tall, and 34 1/4 inches deep with the handle. Do you think it will fit well without looking out of place?

Standard depth fridges usually stick out a few inches beyond the cabinets, but trust me, you'll get used to it! Plus, having that extra space in the fridge is totally worth it. If you can, consider a French door fridge; they might be better if you’re tight on swing space.
A fun trick is to stack some cardboard boxes to visualize the fridge size! But honestly, go for the deeper fridge – you won’t regret it. I promise your wife will be happier with the extra space too!
Make sure to check the measurement from the island to the cabinets, too. If it’s over 42 inches, the fridge should fit just fine. Otherwise, consider how the layout flows!
It sounds like that carve-out was designed for a counter depth fridge. Have you measured the right side wall where the drywall is? You mentioned the left is 24 1/8 inches, but knowing the right side's depth is also important.
