This post shows you the best top of the fridge decor ideas.
I’ve only started focusing on the top of the fridge decor ideas regarding kitchen decor until recently. I have a small kitchen. Yet I always think in more giant blocks, which means I see only the prominent areas like walls and surfaces.
But once I started noticing the fridge area, and specifically, the top of the fridge, I could not help but fall into a rabbit hole.
The above fridge area is truly a hidden gem for home decoration and is super underutilized for organization. Looking for additional storage? Check! More aesthetic touches maybe? Check!
So, I urge you to make it the destination for your next decor passion project. Let’s explore some of my favorite creative ideas to decorate the top of the fridge – the easy and affordable way, as always.
Top of The Fridge Aesthetic Decor Ideas
1. Plants on Refrigerator
Incorporate greenery atop your refrigerator, it immediately becomes a subtle centerpiece as a whole and can add a natural yet polished look to your whole kitchen.
If watering becomes too much work, you can replace the greenery with some premium selected dried floral arrangements or even some herbs.
2. A little Aesthetic Decor Corner
I love this arrangement because it combines some of my favorite elements: greenery, beautiful bottles, crafty boxes, and quotes that put a smile on my face.
Curate your very own gallery-worthy spot to showcase your aesthetics.
3. Family Cook Books Display
Do you have some celebrity cookbooks and family recipes? I do, but I don’t use it often.
Having cookbooks stored high up on top of the fridge is a good idea to avoid clutter. But if you ever need to refresh your cooking skills, the books are still easily accessible.
4. Baskets to Store Potatoes and Onions
It’s such a great storage idea that I wish I’d known sooner!
I’m a big potato lover, but I always store them at the ground level. It takes up a lot of space in the kitchen and often stays there for an extended period.
Having them atop can remove some ground clutter while still keeping them easily accessible.
5. Mini Toy Playstation as Top of The Fridge Decor Ideas
How cute is that, setting up a mini PlayStation above the fridge, standing up straight like a tiny troop?
Many people have a whole shelf of toys, but a shelf takes up space, and space is so valuable for a small city apartment. Leverage your top of the fridge space, then!
6. Wire Basket
I love using a wire basket to store more significant items that I use less daily. If you are that kind of baker that saves your baking skills for annual special occasions, maybe putting all your gears up is a great idea.
The thick wires offer chic aesthetics and can often blend the different bottles inside for a more harmonious look.
7. Woven Tray
I love a woven tray or even fancier, a bamboo tray. It adds a certain calmness and sophistication to the room.
For refrigerators, which most of the time are in silver metal color, leveraging the woven tray can bring in warmth and chicness.
8. Clock Display
Some might say it’s 2024 already; we no longer use clocks. It’s true. We have iPhones and Apple watches to read time. But in my heart, the kitchen is still the perfect spot to place a working clock.
Pair the clock with a tiny decorative greenery for added polishing.
9. Photo Frames on Top
Having empty walls in the kitchen is a crime. I’m not joking. Cooking utensils can be stored on a reachable level on the wall. But for higher-up spaces, like the above refrigerator area, setting up photos is a great idea.
You can have a wall collage with frames of 8×10 and 11×14. It will help build a personalized gallery of your choice.
10. Systematic Organization
I love this idea because it combines the top space with the vertical side space.
The side space is perfect for storing the cooking sauces and hanging up other small objects. And you can declutter the bigger appliances with less usage up at the top.
I know people don’t tend to consider the above fridge area for organization or even decoration. But then again, we all know every inch counts in a small kitchen.
With proper efforts dedicated to your top of the fridge, you will find an extra library, a botanical haven, or a photo display gallery to show your personality.
Hopefully, through this post, you will find some inspiration on how to decorate the top of the refrigerator.
