Hi @Jersey1975,

To build in your bar fridge, you have a couple of options depending on how you want the final look to turn out. One simple way is to purchase or build a custom base cabinet for the fridge. You could leave the door off the cabinet and then add trim around the perimeter of the fridge to cover the gaps and give it a built-in look. This option can help integrate the fridge seamlessly into the surrounding cabinetry.

Alternatively, you could build a frame and plinth to elevate the fridge slightly. This will allow you to match the height of the fridge with the other base cabinets and create a consistent look across the space. By framing the fridge and adding trim around it, you can ensure the appliance blends in well and looks like a permanent part of the cabinetry.

The biggest aesthetic improvement will come from elevating the fridge with a plinth, as this will allow you to incorporate a kick panel at the bottom, making it look more integrated with the surrounding cupboards. You can finish off the look with trim to hide any remaining gaps.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
