Not Even the Inside of Your Fridge Is Safe From Decorating

There’s organizing a fridge, and then there’s fridgescaping: the art of decorating a fridge’s interior.

When Lynzi Judish restocks her refrigerator, for example, she doesn’t just fill it with color-coded glass containers. Instead, Ms. Judish, a 37-year-old lifestyle blogger in Hopewell Junction, N.Y., creates a little world within the 37-degree space. Milk is poured into a pink paisley-printed acrylic pitcher; butter is placed in a quaint hedgehog dish; zucchini and carrots are neatly arranged in a rattan basket; and red cherries overflow in a white ceramic pedestal bowl.

Throughout, herbs and flowers like echinacea sprout up in vases alongside fairy figurines lit up by floral twinkle lights. It’s Ms. Judish’s enchanted forest-themed fridge, and it took her about three hours to assemble it. “There’s just a lot of little details in that one,” she said.

Ms. Judish first gave fridgescaping a try about three months ago after long admiring other fridges she’d seen on TikTok. Now it’s a hobby that she takes pleasure in. “I love looking at the work that I’ve done,” she said. “I feel a lot of pride in it.”

Fridgescaping sits at the intersection of home organization and interior design. Fruit and vegetables are displayed prominently in decorative bowls, rather than in Tupperware; drinks become part of the décor; and leftovers and practical items like condiments are tucked in the back. Videos of these curated interiors have a niche audience on TikTok where they garner thousands, if not millions, of views.
