Where should a fridge be positioned in a kitchen?

Place the fridge, sink and cooktop within easy reach of one another to create a practical and efficient kitchen layout.

The fridge should be positioned where it is easy to access from both the food preparation and cooking areas. Ideally, the fridge, sink and cooktop should form a balanced triangle, with enough space between them to move comfortably without making the kitchen feel cramped.
This layout, known as the kitchen work triangle, helps create a smoother workflow by reducing unnecessary movement while preparing meals. When planning your kitchen, also consider door opening space, walkways and the location of other appliances.
