Dolce & Gabbana x SMEG collaborated on a mini-fridge that costs almost $5,500! GASP! Fear not, design lovers on a budget, there are stylish fridge options for under $500. Let's explore retro, sleek, and minimalist mini-fridges that won't break your bank.
SMEG Refrigerators partnered with Dolce & Gabbana to create the arguably cool-looking SMEG x Dolce & Gabbana Fab 5 mini-fridge. It retails at $5,499.95! I mean It's a freaking MINI FRIDGE! Unless you live in a college dorm, it's supposed to be your secondary refrigeration unit.
For those of you who live in the real world and would like a little design with your appliances, here are a few realistic options that will keep your Chardonnay chill and add a little spark to your rumpus room. PS If you'd like your fridge to have the same vibe as the D&G for $5,000 less, try any of these gorgeous peel and stick blue wallpapers from Tempaper & Co. You could recreate the look for about $100!
The Galanz GLR31TBEER has an awesome retro look and comes in a palette of 1950s inspired pastelle colors. This retro mini fridge offers a good amount of storage and a separate freezer for your Hot Pockets. It retails for $263.52 at Home Depot.
The Frigidaire EFR372 is another retro-styled ice box. We LOVE how this candy-apple red model pops. This one doesn't have as big a freezer, but it creatively uses the shelf space on the door for 8-ounce beverage can storage. You can find this one for $168.00 on Amazon.
The Avallon 15-Inch Wide 86 Can Beverage Center is for those of you who want a maxi mini-fridge and like to keep track of your White Claw inventory. It has more vertical space and a sleek glass door for design modernists. It's a bit pricey at $662.35, but you can find it at Build.com.
Bottom line it's about what you need extra fridge space for. If you have to store bevys near your home office or famly play space these are some great options that will look amazing as well as frost your mugs.
