Depends on which side the door is on.

Since there is a door right there, check clearance to the trim Too - they had to pop ours off to get the old fridge out.

And if you don't have a big family to store food for, look into a counter depth fridge so it will naturally clear the door and not overpower that corner.

Definitely, go for counter depth. If you go for a larger one it will overwhelm the space, plus it will make it that much more difficult to open it.

Some french doors can open with just a smidge of clearance near the wall, but you'll need to check. Visit your candidates in the store and see how they are hinged and whether they can clear the veggie drawers when facing straight out. Every layout is different. For sure, you'll want to leave a bit of width anyway.

Can you find out what kind of refrigerator the previous owners had? Are there photos from the listing?

when you shop, take a yard stick 36" or mark the width of the floor space you have on the stick if it is less than 36", to place in front of the fridges you are considering and see if the door/s have to open beyond the stick to access....it will give you the visual you need to imagine how it will work in your kitchen.

What is the width of the space you have?

I have a similar space. On the side with the hinges, I can't take out the crisper drawer to wash it up. If I reverse the hinges, I just won't be able to take out the crisper drawer on that side. I am also unable to pull the shelves out all the way forward for cleaning, but I can do an up and over maneuver to get them out. The fridge was already here when we bought the house, and whenever it dies I will look for something more user friendly in the space available.

download the manual and installation instructions for the model you want. They should have the clearances needed with an accompanying diagram. Remember, just because the door can open, doesn't mean you'll have clearances for the vegetable and snack drawers to pull out!

If there is a hinge on that side of the refrigerator, yes.

You may want to consider selecting a refrigerator that has integrated door pulls that are fitted into the side of the door panels. They don't have protruding handles, therefore, this will allow the door to swing open further in the space you have.

Even though the practical thing would be a fridge with the hinges on the right, switch them to the left so you can open the door fully. I had a French door fridge up against a wall and it was maddening. We had an inch or 2 between the fridge and the wall and the door still didn't fully open. I couldn't wait to renovate!

Seconding the opinion of getting a single-door fridge with a left-hand hinge. If you get a French door and cannot open the door far enough, you may not be able to access crisper drawers on that side... and it's just generally annoying. :) If you need a French door fridge, check the specs for recommended clearances.

Single door fridge with hinge on the left would allow you fridge with the best capacity for the space. I think you could go full depth there but you probably should add a hinge pin door stop on that door that swings in next to it.

I couldn’t stand a left open door when clearly that space needs a right hand opening. How awkward getting things out to put on the bench top. I agree take lots of measurements and counter depth.
