What is refrigerator decoration?
Decorating a refrigerator (fridgescaping) is a trend of arranging and placing food inside the refrigerator in a beautiful, harmonious way like a miniature interior space. According to Janice Page - an interior designer at PKsurroundings (USA), "this is how to turn the refrigerator into a purposefully designed space, from color to display".
Not only stopping at food preservation, this trend is also aimed at visual experiences, making opening the refrigerator more interesting every day. On platforms like TikTok or Instagram, a series of videos of refrigerators elaborately decorated with fresh flowers, beautiful trays or baskets have attracted millions of views.
Why is this trend so popular?
Decorating the refrigerator helps many people form healthier eating habits. "When food is displayed attractively, you will tend to use them instead of forgetting them," she shared.
In addition, this trend also brings a feeling of "romanticizing life", making everyday things more interesting and meaningful. A neat and beautiful refrigerator also helps users easily control food and limit waste.
However, experts also note that refrigerator decoration requires time and maintenance. If arranged unreasonably, food can spoil quickly or cause inconvenience when used. Therefore, food safety and convenience should be put first.
