We are remodelling our kitchen and are trying to make a decision between placing our fridge on a wall between two windows (could be quite obtrusive, especially with a large cabinet above it as well) or in the pantry which is in the dining part of the kitchen (which means that everyone will be using the dining table as a countertop for taking things in and out of the fridge).

Not sure what to do.

I've attached two design photos of the options. Would appreciate any advice to help with this decision.
