Kitchen planning - space for fridge freezer

cbishbosh

Hi

I'm just in the process of fitting a kitchen.

Can anyone tell me how much space I should leave for a fridge freezer. Most seem to be about 600mm, although some sites say you need to leave space around the appliance. However everywhere I look says different measurements. Some say for a 600mm fridge freezer you should leave a 600mm gap, others say 650mm and some say 700mm.

My fridge freezer will be going between a wall and a run of units so I'm just trying to work out where I should start the units from.

Many thanks all.

Perhaps allow enough space for a slightly bigger than standard one like this

just in case you want one in the future.

For ease of getting it into place, if it is a standard 60cm wide appliance, I would leave an extra 10 - 15 mm.

As it is next to a wall, measure that from the skirting board if there is one, otherwise you may have a problem.
