Whether you’re in the market for a new fridge to replace an old one, or because you’re renovating or building a new home, there are three important things you should always consider: space, lifestyle, and habits. Home appliances such as a fridge are used daily, so it is important to make sure it’ll fit into your space, lifestyle, and make your daily routines easier and faster. Here are two important questions you should ask yourself when shopping for the perfect fridge for your household.
Will Your New Fridge Fit In the Available Space?
Building a New Home
For those building a new home, you can determine how much of your kitchen space can be allocated to your fridge. If you have a large family and frequently buy groceries in bulk, space for a fridge big enough to store your food should be considered in your house plans. Decide what width, height and depth will meet the storage needs of your household. Is a 36 inches wide fridge and freezer combo large enough? Or would a custom sized fridge work better?
Be sure to determine the size of the fridge you want in the early stages of your kitchen design…which is probably now! Make your way to your nearest Trail Appliances showroom to view thousands of fridge options available and speak to an appliance expert to help you determine what fridge is the best option for your new home!

If you’re replacing an old appliance or renovating your existing kitchen, you may not have the flexibility to buy any fridge size you like. So be sure to take careful measurements of the width and depth of the space you have. It’ll help narrow the options that are available to you. You can find detailed instructions on how to take proper measurements in our Fridge Measurement Guide.
A very important detail often forgotten is the side in which a fridge door opens. For example, if you plan to install your fridge between a wall (left side) and a counter (right side), you may want to avoid getting a fridge that swings open on the left as the wall may prevent the door from opening. Functional details such as the size of the fridge, which way the door needs to open, and the depth of the fridge should be determined before your visit to an appliance store for productive shopping.

What Style of Fridge is Best for your Household’s Lifestyle & Habits?
When choosing a fridge, it is important to bear in mind the size of your household, how frequently your fridge will be used, and your collective eating habits. Think about how often, how much, and what kind of groceries you bring home. Being aware of your lifestyle choices will help you determine which shape and style of fridge works best for your household.
Fridge Shape & Style that Make Life Easy
The style and shape of fridges vary to accommodate different lifestyles. Whether you run a busy household, consume a vegan diet, love to cook fresh homemade meals daily, or prefer frozen food or meal preps, one of these varying fridge style could be exactly what you need to make life easier. Which of the styles below is the best fit for your home?

Top Fridge, Bottom Freezer
For a Household of Fresh Foodies
This type of fridge is a good fit if your household consumes a lot of fruits, vegetables, dairy, and other fresh food more than frozen food. Having a large fridge section easily accessible at the top is the most convenient placement for a family that loves to snack on fresh food or cook new recipes often.

Bottom Fridge, Top Freezer
For Children and Accessibility Friendly Homes
Having the fridge at the bottom makes it easy for you school-age children to grab their juice boxes, water bottles, or snacks so they can pack their favourite food for lunch. This style of fridge is also easily accessible to family members on wheelchairs. To give all members of your household access to food, a bottom fridge is a great option.

French Door Fridge
Fit for a Large Family
Say ‘oui’ to French door fridges if you have a large family and need maximum space for your big bulk of groceries. This style of fridge come in the largest sizes available and provide a ton of storage space for you to effectively organize your groceries. The dual French doors are also perfect for a romantic midnight snack browsing for two, while the kids are asleep.

4-Door or Multi-Door Fridges
Best for All Food Types & Mixed Diets
This type of fridge is perfect for families who require more flexibility in their fridge and freezer temperature. For example, ice cream is usually too hard straight out of the freezer but would be too soft (and often spoil faster) if stored in the fridge. Offering various cooling options like Freezer, Soft Freeze, and multiple fridge temperature options, a multi-door fridge provides flexible cooling space for all types of food you bring home. It’s the perfect option for a household of people with varying diets.

All Fridge
Maximum Storage for the Home Chef
Unlike other fridge options, this is just a fridge – no freezer included. Paired with an All Freezer, it is perfect for large families whose eating habits are a combination of meat, fish, vegetable, fruits, and other fresh or frozen foods. This is especially convenient for a household that does not eat out and cook all their meals at home. This combination of all fridge and freezer gives you more than enough space to store all your ingredients to minimize a run to the grocery store mid-recipe so you can chef-it-up without interruption.

Undercounter Fridge
Extra Refrigeration for the Host with the Most
An undercounter fridge is the perfect additional storage option for people who love to entertain or who want their favorite snacks close by. These fridges are designed to fit perfectly in tight spaces and have all the same features of a full-sized refrigerator. Undercounter fridges are great for storing additional beverages and snacks that you might not have room for in a regular-sized fridge. They offer you the flexibility to have refrigeration in rooms other than your kitchen, like your living room, theater room, man cave, dressing room, bedroom, outdoor kitchen or home office.
Based on the space you have available, the size and eating habits of your household, which of these fridge style is the best fit? Do you need a simple Top Fridge replacement, or are you renovating to add extra cooling space with undercounter fridges. Maybe all you need is a Multi-door Fridge for your adventurous taste buds! If you're still indecisive, we encourage you to speak to one of our Product Specialists for expert advice.
