The refrigerator is the epicenter of the kitchen, and a high-end refrigerator can turn an ordinary cooking space into a haven of convenience and luxury. When you’re choosing a new refrigerator, consider the layout of your kitchen and the style, capacity, features and finish of the appliance.
Use this guide to discover what to look for when buying a high-end refrigerator to help you find the option that stands above the rest.
Table of Contents
Your new refrigerator has to fit and function within your current or future kitchen layout, which makes comparing the measurements of your space with the dimensions of refrigerator options a key component to finding the right model for you. If you’re doing a complete renovation, work with your designer or contractor to help determine the right refrigerator for your space.
When choosing a refrigerator to fit your current layout, consider the following:
Whether you have the floorspace for a freestanding model or want to take advantage of a built-in refrigerator’s sleeker and less intrusive silhouette.
The distance from the refrigerator to a nearby kitchen island.
Whether you prefer a standard or flush counter-depth look.
When it comes to choosing the right luxury refrigerator for your kitchen, look for a configuration that connects to your lifestyle. High-end refrigerator configurations vary by design, functionality and capacity, and understanding the differences between each type can make your decision easier.
These full-sized, single-purpose refrigerators or freezers look like a built-in refrigerator when installed together. Column refrigerators let you customize the size and capacity of each preservation space to fit with your personal habits.

When you’re choosing a high-end refrigerator, your cooking and shopping preferences should be top of mind. If you’re one to keep an array of fresh and frozen ingredients on hand at all times, you may want to consider a larger capacity model that offers more storage space than standard refrigerators.
To find the right capacity for your lifestyle, assess:
The number of people in your home.
How often you cook.
The size of your kitchen.
How much you typically store in the refrigerator versus the freezer.

With so many options to choose from, understanding the different high-end refrigerator features paired with each make and model can help make your decision easier. Keep an eye out for features you’ll use most, like climate control, premium ice makers, easy-to-clean shelves or smart technology.
