Designers cover the fridges with custom wood that blends in with a kitchen’s cabinetry. They resemble “the imaginary dragons of childhood fantasy in that they are both invisible and enormous,” Caity Weaver writes in The Times. Cabinets, too, are becoming refrigerators. Often located in kitchen islands, small built-in drawers store wine, drinks and fresh produce. “They like to have lots of beverages,” said Shannon Wollack, the founder of an interior design firm whose clients include many people in the entertainment industry. Wealthy people want to hide their appliances, designers said, because kitchens are rooms for casual congregation. As a result, they furnish them like living rooms, with art and expensive lighting.
