What is ‘fridgescaping’ and has it gone too far? The latest kitchen decor trend is all about aesthetics inside the refrigerator.
Audrey Morgan is an associate food editor at Food & Wine with over seven years of experience covering food and drinks. She has held staff positions at Liquor.com and Food Network Magazine, and her work has also been featured in Saveur, Men's Health, and The Bump.The refrigerator door has always been a canvas for self-expression, or at least a place to show off your priorities: souvenir magnets, save-the-dates, to-do lists.
“I thought, every time you open up your refrigerator — and we do that several times a day — it needs to be pretty, too,” she explains. “I saw a video where someone had an orchid in their fridge, and everything was in an aesthetic jar or picture frame, and it just lit up my dopamine centers.”“I would find myself in my pantry at nine or ten o’clock , and my husband Casey would be like, ‘What are you doing?’” she recalls.
Bennett guesses that the fridgescaping trend is also an easier — and, of course, more affordable — way to decorate a space. She adds, however, that “the irony of it all is this will make people cook more.” Wanting to use up the contents of your beautiful fridge isn’t so different from choosing produce from the farmers market based on its looks, she explains.
“Obviously I don’t run around my house with lace gloves on, and I don’t actually store a jewelry box in my refrigerator, although some people on the internet genuinely think that I do things like that. I think some people miss that it’s supposed to be a little silly, too.”While many elements of #fridgescaping culture are rooted in function — such as the concept of “first in, first out” — it’s not always practical.
