Fancy Your Hand at Fridgescaping? Ceramic Containers are a Must-Have

The inside of our fridges are not often places we consider beautify-ing (buying the groceries for the week is usually enough of a chore), but when we add thoughtful details into these widely used corners of our homes, the result can be quite satisfying.

Ever since social media put fridgescaping on my radar, I haven't stopped thinking about the most aesthetic ways to display my fruits and vegetables. Ceramic containers and berry baskets are the small but stylish kitchen trend that adds a bit of farmstand flare to an otherwise pedestrian part of your home. Having a designated place for fresh, delicious produce feels impossibly chic, and it means you can replace unsightly plastic containers with decorative details instead.

This year, fridgescaping has taken the internet by storm. The basic idea is to bring order and visual appeal into one of the most mundane parts of the kitchen, and who doesn't love an aesthetically pleasing design moment?

Fridgescaping expert, Lynzi Judish, says ceramic bowls are a stylish kitchen storage idea. "They're a wonderful way to display your berries and give your refrigerator an instant facelift," she adds. The sight of fresh produce inside your fridge will always be met with delight, but the plastic containers from the grocery store can diminish their visual appeal and make your fridge feel more cluttered. These decorative ceramic baskets are the perfect way to display them if you want a cottagecore look inside your fridge.

Practically speaking, Lynzi recommends the middle shelf to display these open containers as this is generally the most temperature-controlled spot of the fridge, meaning it will increase your food's shelf-life. After that, how you style or organize your food storage containers is up to you.

"I love anything reusable, non-toxic, and eco-friendly for the kitchen," says Lynzi. "Whether you like to grow your own produce or buy from the market, opting for stylish ventilated storage containers helps to prioritize eating your perishables promptly and ties in the overall aesthetic of your refrigerator."

Details, ones as small as this one, make cooking exciting again. Fixing dinner, work lunches, or even boring snacks no longer seems a dull task when a fun bowl is there holding all your favorite fruits and foods. Lynzi recommends leaning into the enjoyment a detail like a ceramic dish can bring. "Let them be something you can pop by and grab a handful of when you want a snack, or let them make a statement front and center because they are so pretty," she says.

Putting the groceries away or opening the fridge to make dinner does not have to be boring. Designing a home that makes you happy is all about little whimsical moments like these.
