Reposting. Kitchen decor help

6 months ago

I need help with this space. I considered getting a buffet to put next to the wine fridge but i think the space might be too cramped. I also know the wine fridge doesn’t look great there but there are no other spots to put it.

    Most of us need a floor plan to provide any meaningful kind of help..Some of us professionals may even have a clever idea of where to put your wine fridge if you show us the rest of your kitchen cabinets and even better still if you measure your kitchen cabinets

    Oh, I think you have room for lower cabinets there, a 24” deep surround for the wine fridge and some 15” deep lowers to hold whatever you need for the dining area. You’d be making your own customized buffet. Check out the IKEA kitchen planner and see what you can come up with.

    I would get a beautiful thrifted cabinet taller and deeper than your wine fridge (or Ikea or handyman built with marble top)) or and hack it by removing the back and doors and turning wine bar facing the other way. Add floating or regular helves with beautiful wine glasses above, tray with ice bucket on top. Make it a bar!


    This idea, only no doors above--floating shelves or regular shelves width of cabinet.


    Smaller version of this in same wood finish as your dining table so they're related.

    Maybe a slim console under your art.

    I agree that more photos are needed of the entire space. I know you added a photo on your previous post but it was basically of the same wall. Post photos of every wall so we can have an idea of what is going on in the room.

    BTW There is absolutely nothing wrong with your art. Please ignore the person who commented above.

    Without seeing more photos, my initial thought is raise the artwork, and add three additional pieces below. Add art above the fridge to make it look more intentional, along with a pendant that highlights a wood statue that replaces the plant. Make the wall such a strong focus that your eyes don't notice the fridge.


    I think the key to the art and pendant above the fridge is to make them black so that the fridge disappears.

    something along this line would be nice for your space

    I don't see space for anything. The wine frig goes in the garage.

    It would be best to keep 36 inches between the edge of the table and wall. otherwise, it will be hard to walk behind the chair.

    I like your artwork, but I wonder if you need something larger for such a large wall. maybe be add more color.

    Move wine fridge. Place large floor plant there instead. Hang two or three decorative plates on the side of the pantry wall. Center your artwork.


    Don't want to move the wine fridge? Make a white enclosure for it (that allows for needed air circulation). Center art. Hang two decorative plates.

    I agree with the suggestion to move the fridge somewhere else or do you really need it? 2 large plants there would be so happy, less is more I think

    If nothing else, move the outlet to behind the frig so you don't have to look at it and the cord. It's normal for builders to put outlets in the middle of walls like that, but it's not working for your purposes.

    Im moving the wine fridge. I need more storage so am planning on getting a smaller round table and adding either a tall curio cabinet or buffet table. Which would look better?

    Lots of good advice here. There is a lot of space above and below the art and it needs more of an anchor on that wall. If nothing else, the narrow console seems like a good idea to take some of it up and put that outlet in shadow too. Is the vent painted the same as the rest of the wall? If not, I would also do that.
