When choosing a kitchen design, it is important to think through all the details. Not only the color and texture of each item, but also their harmonious arrangement relative to each other. In our article we will talk about built-in appliances, in particular, we will talk about such an interesting topic as the dimensions of a built-in refrigerator and a cabinet for it.
Nowadays, no one is surprised by the fact that large household appliances are not visible in the kitchen: dishwashers and refrigerators are hidden behind the doors of the furniture set. This is a stylish and elegant design solution.
In our article we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of built-in refrigerator models, discuss possible dimensions, and touch on the rules for their installation. We will also talk about separate freezers and wine cabinets.
Pros and cons of embedded hardware
Built-in refrigerators can come in a variety of sizes, from compact to impressive. A refrigerator of any size can be partially or completely hidden behind the façade of a furniture set. And for this you need to know about their advantages and disadvantages. We will talk about them in terms of comparison with a conventional refrigerator.
Disadvantages of built-in equipment:
- higher price;
- lack of additional functions (for example, electronic control);
- smaller volume;
- additional work on thermal insulation and ventilation of the cabinet.
Advantages of built-in equipment:
- harmonious design of the room;
- reduced noise level;
- economical due to excellent thermal insulation;
- saving space.
After thinking and weighing all the pros and cons, decide whether you will remain faithful to traditional models of technology, or opt for the built-in option.
Built-in refrigerators are divided into two types of housing: fully built-in appliances and partially built-in (visible door, glass or metal).
Standard dimensions
Consumer demand for such equipment is steadily growing every year; models for embedding come in a variety of sizes: for an office kitchen, for a large family, and for a hotel room.
Before ordering a furniture set, you need to decide on the size of the cabinet for the built-in refrigerator. And for this you need to choose a model.
First of all, you need to decide on the height of the model. The most ergonomic models are considered to be those that do not exceed 2 meters in length; shorter ones are better, then it will be convenient for all household members to use them.
From different manufacturers you can find heights of 70 cm, 80 cm, 120 cm, and 190 cm - take your time with the choice, consider whether you should buy a refrigerator with the largest volume if it is not customary for you at home to cook for future use and stock up on pickles - jams? Maybe, in this case, a standard height model (one and a half meters) will be suitable for preparing the freshest food?
If you choose a low-height refrigerator, make sure it is comfortable to use. A small pedestal will raise the refrigerator to eye level, and getting food out of it will be a pleasure.
The following parameters are of equal importance: width and depth. You just have to choose which width of the refrigerator is optimal for your family’s needs: 45 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm, 70 cm, 90 cm, etc. The depth of the models differs in steps of 5 cm: 40 cm, 45 cm, 50 cm...
If we talk about the standard width, then it is 60 cm, and the standard depth is 55 cm.
How to decide on the size? Fortunately, manufacturers have taken care of the recommended figures for the volume of the refrigeration section, depending on the number of family members. Of course, the numbers are approximate, but you can build on them when determining the model you need.
So, for a small family consisting of one or two people, equipment with a volume of 100–120 liters is suitable. For three people - about 150 liters, for four - 180 liters. If the family is larger, pay attention to the Side by Side models, they will be optimal, because their size can be the largest.
Built-in refrigerators can have several chambers: freezer, wine, freshness zone, etc. They differ in size, temperature conditions, and maintained humidity level. Such models have the highest price. We'll talk more about the freezer and wine cabinet below.
The most affordable in terms of cost are two-chamber (with a large or small freezer) and single-chamber options. In the latter case, the freezer is purchased and installed separately.
How to choose a built-in refrigerator: dimensions and functions of units
When choosing a built-in refrigerator, you need to comprehensively and almost simultaneously decide on several indicators:
When choosing a built-in refrigerator, you need to remember that its price will be higher than that of a conventional model
- what unit volume (dimensions) and number of chambers is preferable;
- desired operational characteristics of the model (functions);
- dimensions of the area for installation.
All three factors are interdependent. The main criterion for calculations is the number of family members. For one person, 120 liters of volume are required, for each subsequent person - 60 liters. It is also worth taking into account the peculiarities of organizing everyday life: how often and in what quantities are food stocks made, is freezing preferred as a storage method, etc.
The location of the chambers largely depends on the height of the built-in refrigerator (it can vary, but usually does not exceed 200 cm). Higher models have separate refrigerator and freezer compartments, and the latter can be located either in the lower or in the upper part.
In low models, the freezer is small and does not have a separate door. The functionality of the unit largely depends on the placement of the chambers - the presence of different zones (freshness, intensive freezing, quick freezing, etc.). The model selected based on needs and wishes must fit in the space allocated for it.
Sidebyside refrigerators have standard height and depth dimensions, but vary significantly in width
Helpful advice! If you have limited space, you should start choosing a refrigerator by determining its optimal size. Thus, there will be no need to abandon the desired model and revise the functionality.
Standard width of the refrigerator as the main dimensional indicator
Classic refrigerators are divided into three main types: full-size, medium and small (including minibars). This division is appropriate to apply to built-in models. The following can be considered standard sizes:
- full-sized units: height – 175-200 cm, width – 55-60 cm, depth – 55-60 cm;
- medium models: height –130-150 cm, width –45-55 cm, depth –50-60 cm;
- small built-in refrigerators: height –60-80 cm, width –50 cm, depth –50 cm.
Sidebyside refrigerators (with a side freezer) have a standard height of up to 200 cm and a depth of 60 cm, but differ significantly in width. Traditionally it is 90 cm, but a considerable number of models have a width of 110–112 cm.
For full-sized units, the standard dimensions are the following: height - up to 200 cm, width - 55-60 cm, depth -55-60 cm
Width is the most important dimensional indicator when choosing a built-in refrigerator. If manufacturers strive to maintain a standard depth, taking into account the size of the kitchen furniture, and the height can vary, then the width becomes fundamental for determining the installation location. If there is free space there are no problems. However, not everyone has a spacious kitchen, and sometimes every centimeter has to be counted.
Refrigerators built under the countertop require a special approach when choosing a model. In such cases, this dimensional indicator goes into the aesthetic plane. The standard width of doors for kitchen furniture facades is 40-45 cm, for a refrigerator - 50 cm. Violation of dimensional uniformity can lead to a loss of aesthetics.
Helpful advice! If the difference in the dimensions of the front part of the built-in refrigerator can negatively affect the overall appearance, it is worth installing the unit under the working surface of the island table.
Compact technology
Small refrigerators built under the countertop are in demand not only in homes, but also in hotels and offices. They are very convenient, because the furniture body can be used as a bedside table (for office equipment or a TV), or as a work area for a kitchen set.
Small refrigerators are usually single-chamber (do not have a freezer compartment). Standard width and height of compact refrigerators: 60 cm and 82 cm, respectively. The depth is 55–57 cm.
If necessary, a freezer is purchased, which is also built into the furniture set; these works must be thought out in advance.
Choosing a small refrigerator under the countertop ↑
When choosing equipment for installation in the lower tier of furniture, it is advisable to purchase a separate refrigerator and freezer. And if the kitchen area allows, install a small wine cabinet with a glass door.
The best refrigeration equipment: three reliable devices ↑
Compact models built under the countertop are presented by most manufacturers. One of the best-selling refrigerators is the Bosch Kur 15 A 50. The equipment can be installed in the lower tier of a standard height. The height is 82 cm. The depth and width are 60 and 55 cm, respectively. Cost – about 36 thousand rubles.
Single chamber Bosch Kur
In the Whirlpool model range is a small single-chamber ARG590/A+. Price – about 37 thousand. Inside the compact device there is a small freezer compartment with a capacity of 18 liters. Control is mechanical. The shelves are made of glass, and the door is reversible.
Economical Whirlpool
Pay attention to the small wine cabinet with a transparent door from Hotpoint-Ariston. The dimensions of the refrigerator allow you to integrate equipment not only into the lower cabinet, but also into the side panels of the island or into a high pencil case. Model WL 36/HA will cost 74 thousand. Dimensions: height is 68 cm, width and depth are 56x54 cm.
Wine cabinet Hotpoint-Ariston
Freezers: 3 popular models ↑
The volume of freezers with compact dimensions is about 100 liters. The most popular models in the mid-price category are German and Italian freezers with a fully built-in system and one door.
The Hotpoint-Ariston BF 901 E AA model may not fit into the lower tier. The height is 86 cm. But the device can be installed in a cabinet or column. The controls are electronic, the interior space is equipped with classic drawers. There is a speed freezing mode. Price – from 28 thousand.
Freezer Hotpoint-Ariston
The Electrolux EUN 1100 FOW chamber has a total volume of 108 liters. Price – from 38 thousand. The height is 81 cm - the equipment can be installed under the tabletop. The door can be hung on the left/right side if necessary. Management is electronic.
Compact freezer Electrolux
A similar model from Bosch costs about 35 thousand rubles. The GUD 15 A 50 freezer is designed for complete integration into the lower tier of furniture. The useful volume is 98 liters. The capacity is up to 12 kg of frozen products per day. In the event of a power outage, the chamber will maintain the set temperature for 24 hours.
Bosch countertop camera
Individual modules
Another popular trend is installing separate refrigerator modules in different areas of the kitchen and dining room. For convenience, you can place compartments with different purposes in places in your home that are comfortable for you.
Lemonade and beer - in the living room, closer to the sofa and home theater, the freezer - in the corner of the kitchen, you don’t look there very often, the module for fresh fruits and vegetables - in the work area, it is most in demand, etc.
It’s up to you to choose the size of the modules, purpose and location; no one knows the habits and needs of your family members better than you.
It is reasonable to assume that the cost of individual modules is not the most affordable, but if this does not stop you, then you will enjoy the comfort and functionality of the purchased built-in equipment for many years.
Main dimensions of refrigerators: width, depth, height
It will not be an exaggeration to say that this type of household appliance, such as a refrigerator, is found in every home. They are also installed in offices, offices, etc., that is, in any organization where people stay for a certain amount of time. The high demand for units explains the saturation of the market with various models. Choosing a refrigerator today is very difficult. There are different types of freezing, automatic and manual control, upper and lower arrangement of chambers, presence and absence of a display, etc.
The first thing you need to pay attention to when buying a refrigerator is its height, width and depth.
One of the main criteria when choosing a household refrigerator is its dimensions. The approach can be different: reduce the size of the kitchen working surface and place a larger model; purchase a unit with a modest size, preferring economical energy consumption; buy a small refrigerator, placing it under the kitchen surface.
The main dimensions of the refrigerator are width, depth, height. Based on the existing variety of dimensional indicators, refrigerators can be divided into three categories:
- Full size. These include two-chamber models with separate doors.
- Average. These are basically two-chamber units, but with one common door, although there are options with two doors.
- Mini refrigerators. Single-door, can have either one or two cameras.
There is also a classification according to which units are divided into European, American and Asian. This article will look in more detail at the dimensions of refrigerators, regardless of body types and door placement methods.
Refrigerators can be divided into the following categories by size: full-size, medium-size and mini-refrigerators.
Freezer
Discreet installation of indispensable household appliances - this is how you can describe the purchase of a built-in freezer model. Long-term high-quality storage of food supplies is guaranteed to you by manufacturing companies; there are no random names here. At the end of the article you will read the rating of the best models.
With modern freezing of food, the maximum of their nutrients and vitamins is preserved, is it any wonder that an increasing number of housewives are thinking about purchasing a separate freezer? Pay attention to the built-in models; they will fit perfectly into any interior design.
What are the advantages of a built-in freezer? The same as the built-in refrigeration cabinets described in our article.
An important point: in the event of a sudden (emergency) power outage, the low temperature inside the freezer remains for up to three days, during which time any problem will undoubtedly be corrected.
Your supplies will not be affected due to the high thermal insulation properties of the cabinet and the characteristics of similar models. As for the placement of the freezer in the interior, you can choose a model for almost any room. The size range of cabinets varies quite widely. For example, the width can be from 56 to 60 cm, height from 70 to 89 cm, depth from 55 to 62 cm.
Dimensions of Bosch refrigerators with two compressors
The German concern Bosch produces a number of refrigerators that are equipped with two compressors. These are two-chamber models, the freezer compartment of which is in the lower position. As for the dimensions, such models do not differ in great variety. The height has two indicators - 185 and 200 cm.
The width of most units is 60 cm, depth - 65 cm. Only two types of refrigerators with two compressors have a depth of 63 cm. Considering the power and technical features of these models, it would be useful to pay attention to their discreet and convenient dimensions.
Bosch offers many types of refrigerators in a variety of sizes
It should be noted that the ratio of the volumes of the refrigerating and freezing chambers of the unit is standard. The refrigerator compartment at a height of 185 cm has a volume of 228 liters, at 200 cm - 257 liters. The freezer capacity in both versions is 97 liters.
This manufacturer has a model that has non-standard dimensions: the width of the refrigerator is 90 cm, the depth is 80 cm with a height of 186 cm. The refrigerator is large and roomy, has a bottom freezer and two wide doors. The volume of the refrigerator compartment is 476 liters, the freezer compartment is 140 liters.
Helpful advice! When installing a refrigerator of this size, it is necessary to take into account the availability of sufficient free space to open the wide door.
Wine cabinet
A collection of your favorite wines must certainly be stored in appropriate temperature conditions; a built-in wine cabinet (sometimes called climate-controlled) is in all respects an ideal option and a modern analogue of ancient wine cellars.
There are also traditional wine refrigerators, but we advise you to take a closer look at built-in models. They can easily fit into the interior of a living room, dining room or kitchen by placing them in a closet or column.
Various manufacturers offer a wide range of built-in home wine cellars to choose from: from narrow to wide models, with one door or 2 doors. Accordingly, the sizes vary greatly. You can purchase a cabinet the size of a full-fledged refrigerator, or choose a small model with a height of about 80 cm. It all depends on your needs.
It is very important to consider the capacity of the wine cabinet. It is measured not in liters, as is the case with a standard refrigerator, but in bottles. Accordingly, you can focus on how much alcohol you need to store. A standard unit of measurement is considered to be a bottle of Bordeaux, the volume of which is 750 ml. The “bottle” capacity indicator is indicated by the manufacturer in the documentation supplied with the wine cabinet.
Most often, wine cabinets have a glass door; they are not hidden, like ordinary refrigerators or freezers, behind the blank wooden facades of a furniture set. Such a wine cabinet can look like a showcase that decorates any room, because such cabinets can be purchased in any style: from classic to high-tech.
Wine is a capricious product, afraid of high and low temperatures, sunlight, and changes in humidity. Additionally, glass bottles pose a potential hazard to children and pets, so purchasing a separate piece of appliance to keep your drinks safe is a smart and responsible decision.
If you ask why, in this case, not store wines in a regular refrigerator compartment, along with, for example, dairy products, then the answer lies in the special temperature conditions (above + 10 ° C) and humidity (above 50%) that are required for their proper storage.
Everywhere: under the bar countertop, in a column next to the sofa in the living room, in a narrow pencil case in the dining room - a stylish wine cabinet will fit perfectly into the interior.
Refrigerator sizes: choice of dimensions and placement rules
There are often situations when a refrigerator is chosen solely for its interesting design. During use, discrepancies between its technical and operational characteristics and the desired indicators appear. Therefore, you should approach the choice of this type of household appliances carefully and thoughtfully:
The dimensions of the refrigerator must visually correspond to the size of the room
- If the kitchen space allows you to place a unit of any size, it is not necessary to choose bulky devices just because they are solid. The internal volume must be in demand, otherwise purchasing a refrigerator will be impractical.
- You should not buy a refrigerator with a large freezer if you do not plan to make significant and long-term reserves. It is more appropriate to give preference to a model with a large refrigerator compartment.
- It is better if the overall dimensions of the refrigerator correspond to the scale of the room. A large unit and a lonely kitchen table adjacent to it will not give you a feeling of comfort.
- You should not place Side-by-Side models in the corner of the room - incomplete opening of one door will cause inconvenience in use and the feeling that the refrigerator is installed temporarily.
- When installing a small refrigerator under the countertop, you should remove it as far as possible from the washing machine.
A refrigerator is one of the most necessary household appliances. It should serve for many years, saving time, simplifying life and giving pleasant moments of enjoying the taste of your favorite dishes and drinks. Once you choose a model that matches your desires and needs, you can provide yourself with comfort for a long time.
Other characteristics
In our article, let's take a closer look at other main characteristics (except for the dimensions and volume of the chamber) of built-in household appliances.
Defrosting
In modern stores, two types of household appliances are presented: with a classic (drip) system, which requires regular defrosting, and No frost, which does not require it. The second option is more convenient to use and modern.
Energy consumption
If the iron or vacuum cleaner does not work around the clock, and power consumption is not one of the decisive factors when purchasing, then when purchasing a refrigerator, we must remember that it will work day after day, year after year without rest. Electricity bills don't have to make a homeowner feel bad, so it's time to talk about the power consumption of a household refrigerator.
We remind you that built-in models consume less energy than classic separate refrigerators due to high-quality thermal insulation. Power depends on the size of the model and its performance characteristics.
The energy consumption class of an individual model is assigned taking into account the volume of the refrigerator, the presence of the No frost system and other characteristics. The most common markings are A and A+; these are modern models with reduced energy consumption, and therefore more economical.
Number of cameras
They have already been mentioned above in the article; there can be from one (refrigerator or freezer) to several.
Number of compresses
Their number depends on the number of compartments of the refrigerator; it can be from one to several. Accordingly, a larger number of compressors increases the energy consumption of the model.
The operating efficiency of a compressor and its energy consumption depend on a number of parameters:
- size of the refrigerator and (or) freezer;
- kitchen room temperature;
- chamber tightness;
- frequency of opening doors of household appliances.
Outer cover material
The surface of modern refrigerators can be made of plastic or metal. Metal is a more expensive and durable choice, plastic is more affordable and is also quite durable. The outer covering of wine cabinets can be made of wood.
Which one is better to choose?
Looking at the ratings of built-in refrigerators, you can see that among all manufacturers, Bosch, LG and Korting are the leaders in quality and reliability. Whirlpool, Gorenje and Siemens are of good quality. There are also premium models from Liebherr and Asko, which are distinguished by the highest quality and high prices. When choosing a domestic brand, it is better to buy Atlant.

Door mounting type
If your decision is to completely remove the refrigerator behind the facades of the furniture set, pay attention to the type of fastening it to the opening door.
Rail system
If the model you choose is equipped with a system of runners, then similar runners must be attached to the inside of the façade of the furniture set. When you open the cabinet door, the panels will move in relation to each other. The disadvantage of this type of fastening is that the door cannot be opened wide (the opening angle is 90°).
Hinge system
This option is more reliable and comfortable for further operation of the refrigerator. Wider door opening angle (up to 115°). The doors of both items (both the refrigerator and the cabinet) are connected by fixed fasteners.
Basic installation rules
Let us draw your attention to the basic rules for installing refrigerators, no matter for the kitchen, office or hotel:
- distance from other household appliances (hobs, oven, microwave oven, etc.);
- the size of the niche must exceed the size of the built-in equipment for air ventilation;
- to ensure ventilation, the back of the refrigerator should not be in contact with anything;
- distance from the room heating system;
- For air movement, a grille is installed in the lower part of the cabinet.
Please note that installation should be carried out by professionals; this guarantees the safe operation of the equipment and compliance with all installation details.
Installation and connection of a built-in refrigerator
Rules for installing a refrigerator
It is necessary to ensure that this equipment is located at a distance of 50-60 cm from any heating devices - be it a gas stove or a heating radiator. It is also undesirable for its side wall to come into contact with the sink. If water constantly gets on it, the equipment will not last long.
The unit cannot be moved close to the wall, since the air, when heated in the heat exchanger, must be able to freely rise upward.
It is very harmful for any household appliance, including a refrigerator, when it is exposed to direct sunlight. This leads to overheating of the unit and its rapid failure. Also, when installing the unit, you need to make sure that when opening the refrigerator door it does not block the entrance to the kitchen.
Refrigerator niche size
If you need refrigeration appliances to be built into the kitchen set, you should make sure in advance that there is a suitable niche in the furniture. When purchasing a built-in model, in the documents for it, in addition to information about the unit itself, the requirements for the size of the niche will also be indicated.
It is imperative to leave a small space of 5-7 cm between the refrigeration unit and the rear wall of the niche. This is done to circulate cold air and air heated by the heat exchanger. Therefore, the back board of the niche must be equipped with several small holes at the top and bottom. If this is not done, the refrigerator will not freeze well and consume much more electricity than it should.
If you purchase both a kitchen set and a refrigeration unit at the same time, it is better to use the services of the same manufacturer - this will allow you to integrate the equipment with maximum convenience. Of course, you can try to install the equipment that you already have into the furniture, but this will require much more effort, and unforeseen difficulties may arise.
Schemes for installation in a closet or niche
How to calculate the size of a pencil case and box for a built-in refrigerator? How to find out the size of the doors of a furniture set behind which household appliances will be hidden?
When installing equipment, it is necessary to take into account the size of the cabinet or niche, taking into account the necessary ventilation. That is, the cabinet or niche should be wider, higher and deeper than the refrigerator model you have chosen. The back of the cabinet should be missing for better air movement.
A reasonable question arises: how to calculate the size of the cabinet if you have a certain model of refrigerator in hand? How much more spacious should it be? A millimeter on the sides is not enough, but ten centimeters is a lot? Let's look for a middle ground. Below in the diagrams you can see the dimensions of cabinets and their facades for built-in refrigerators.
Before designing a cabinet for built-in appliances, you need to read the operating instructions in detail. As a rule, it indicates the minimum permissible distance from the walls of the refrigerator to the surrounding body. Also, when building refrigerators into a niche, you need to take care of installing the grille at the bottom and the through movement of air.
Strictly speaking, even creating a cabinet with your own hands will not require any special skills from you. All you need is to take measurements of the equipment, add ventilation allowance to the results and create a simple drawing, an example of which you see above. The most basic cabinet consists of two sides and a “ceiling”.
It is quite possible to do without a bottom if the refrigerator is equipped with legs. The back wall is not needed at all, this way ventilation will be better. To prevent the body from falling apart, a pair of transverse reinforcing slats or boards should be installed. They are mounted instead of the back wall.

Models of side-by-side built-in refrigerators Liebherr
Owners of spacious kitchens with a certain level of income can afford to purchase an American refrigerator. This is a large-sized unit in which the freezer occupies a side position, usually on the left. “Sidebyside” translates as “side by side”, that is, the chambers of such refrigerators are located side by side.
The largest number of built-in sidebyside models is produced by the German company Liebherr. The units can have either two or three chambers. In addition to the freezer and refrigerator, a compartment for storing wine is added. The total volume of this refrigerator reaches 899 liters, and the width is 167.7 cm.
Some models have bottom-mounted freezers with two identical blocks. Such units have four doors that open two refrigerator and two freezer compartments. They can be placed either in specially equipped cabinets for refrigerators or in niches (incomplete installation). Many people prefer the latter option due to the presence of an additional number of doors.
Side by side built-in refrigerators from Liebherr consist of two separate units
Standard models of such units are characterized by the following dimensions:
- height – 177.7 cm;
- width – 111 cm;
- depth – 54.5 cm.
The total volume is 560-590 l.
Liebherr side by side built-in refrigerators have a significant difference from models from other manufacturers. These are prefabricated units; they consist of two (or more for some types) separate blocks that are combined into one structure.
