In an era where the kitchen has long surpassed the boundaries of a mere utility space and has become the beating heart of the home – and a part of the living room – planning and designing the kitchen has become an integral part of the overall architectural process. Whether you're planning a major renovation or moving into a new apartment, the kitchen is one of the areas worth thinking about in advance – in terms of design, daily functionality, and the technology and products that can upgrade the experience and appearance.
That’s exactly where LG comes into the picture, leading the design revolution in the kitchen with an innovative line of refrigerators that combine advanced technology with an impressive appearance. The LG MoodUP refrigerator, for example, offers colorful LED panels that can be customized according to your mood, the season, or design style, and also includes InstaView technology that allows you to peek inside with a light knock without opening the door. Alongside it, other LG InstaView refrigerators continue the clean, modern design line, with flat fronts, zero-clearance installation, and an emphasis on aesthetics that naturally blend into open and stylish spaces.
According to Pazit Weiner Greenwald, an interior architect specializing in the planning and design of apartments and private homes, one of the prominent trends in kitchen design in the coming years is the desire to create continuity between the kitchen and the other public areas of the home. "The kitchen is no longer separated from the living room; it is part of it. Therefore, it's important that the fronts have clean lines, that the colors are up-to-date, blend harmoniously with the surroundings, and that everything feels flowing and precise." According to her, the use of diverse materials, rich textures, and integrative elements – such as glass fronts or hidden handles – is gaining momentum.
LG refrigerators, and especially the InstaView models, integrate well into this concept. They offer a flat front, zero-clearance depth, and impressive design that adds an elegant touch without weighing down the space. In addition, the famous feature (double knock on the door to illuminate the inside of the fridge) is not only visually impressive, but also practical: It allows you to see the fridge's contents without opening it and disrupting the cold airflow. In the past year, LG launched two unique InstaView models – one narrow model suited for tight spaces and another four-door refrigerator where you can control the door colors via an app. These two models join the four-door InstaView refrigerator that was already launched last year and includes a water dispenser.
When planning a new kitchen, many people focus only on the overall appearance and forget the small details – the ones that can make life easier or more complicated. Pazit emphasizes that already in the planning stage, it’s important to provide a dedicated power outlet for the refrigerator, and sometimes also a water connection, if it’s a model that includes a built-in water/ice dispenser (sometimes called a "kiosk"). In addition, it’s advisable to check the exact measurements of the designated niche in height, depth, and width, and ensure there’s enough space to open the doors.
LG’s refrigerator line offers a particularly wide selection to suit various needs: From families with children looking for large storage volume, to young couples or renters who prefer a compact and decorative refrigerator. Among the options you'll find models with top or bottom freezers, three doors, or special configurations that allow for greater accessibility. All models incorporate advanced technologies such as a quiet and efficient inverter compressor, temperature sensors, even cooling systems, and smart app control.
One of the most talked-about models on the market today is the LG InstaView MOODUP refrigerator – a fridge with LED doors whose colors can be changed via the LG ThinQ app. The door colors can be adjusted to match the atmosphere, the overall home design, or even your mood. You can also play music directly from the refrigerator using Bluetooth. "It’s not just a tech gimmick; it’s a real design tool," explains Pazit. "This fridge integrates perfectly in open kitchens and in homes looking to create a unique, youthful, and up-to-date living experience."
The combination of minimalist design, smart functionality, and impressive appearance makes LG refrigerators a natural choice for anyone designing their next kitchen. Whether you're aiming for a timeless look or are drawn to unique technological innovation, you'll find a model that suits you perfectly.
