March 3, 2020 by Big Chill

Short on space? Looking for outdoor refrigeration? A place to store luxurious beauty products? Que the mini-fridge, your pint-sized companion that will help keep perishables fresh and easy to access at all times (and locations).

While a mini-fridge might not be a replacement for a regular-size appliance, they come in handy in places where you can’t keep a conventional refrigerator. In small spaces, like studio apartments or dorm rooms, sometimes keeping a mini-fridge is a necessity to help accommodate the limited space.

These days, mini-fridges are becoming more popular to conveniently keep perishable items on hand in a variety of locations. We proudly introduce the newest addition to our family: the Big Chill Retro Mini-Fridge. Who knew you could live life so large with a mini-fridge?

Looking for the perfect color to suit your own style? Our Big Chill custom color swatch offers over 200 custom colors and shades.

1. Outdoors

Want to enjoy cold beverages and snacks while spending time in the outdoor elements? A mini-fridge provides mobility that a full-sized fridge doesn’t, allowing you to stash your small appliance in outdoor locations that keep your favorite items on hand. A mini-fridge can go just about anywhere there’s a place to plug it in, making it easy to stash in an outdoor kitchen, by the pool, or even to make your car-camping experience more comfortable and convenient. A garage or outdoor workshop is also a great place for a mini-fridge, ensuring your hard work is never without refreshment or reward.

2. Office

The office can be a stressful place at times, whether it be in a shared workplace or even in a home environment. An office is a place where your mind needs to stay focused while your body needs to stay energized and awake.

If you spend most of your days working at a desk, a mini-fridge can be a solid and helpful addition to your workspace. A mini-fridge at your desk or in your office will help keep you well-fed and hydrated throughout the day, without the need to frequently step out for meals or refreshments. Use it to store homemade lunches, snacks, or drinks to help keep you focused and working hard throughout the day.

3. Bar

Love to entertain? Or love to mix up a perfectly balanced refreshment for yourself or for guests? The addition of a mini-fridge to your bar can provide the perfect space for you to stash all of the necessary bar accouterments without the clutter of food items or perishables. Tonic waters, maraschino cherries, or fresh lemons will make themselves perfectly at home in your mini-bar fridge, or use it for sodas or beers to provide guests of all ages refreshments when hanging out in your home.

4. Beauty

Mini-fridges are one of the trendiest additions for beauty lovers everywhere, as some beauty products are said to perform better, and last longer, when stashed in the refrigerator. Don’t love the idea of your expensive face cream being stored next to your food products? Que the mini-fridge, which can be catered only to your luxurious self-care routine.

Your bathroom also isn’t the optimal place to keep many beauty products for a variety of reasons. Heat and steam from the shower can affect the look, smell, feel, and effectiveness of many skincare products, making your mini-fridge a safe place to store them to help maintain their shelf life.

5. Produce

Who doesn’t love a refrigerator bursting with fresh fruit and vegetables? Growing your own produce is a magical thing, but can leave your refrigerator full to the brim when it comes time to harvest. Make more room for your homegrown produce with the addition of a mini-fridge in your pantry or your garden shed. This will also help you keep track of what produce needs to be utilized, as sometimes fresh fruits and vegetables can perish quickly and get lost in the hustle and bustle of a regular-sized refrigerator.

6. Food Allergies

Managing food allergies in a household can quickly become a challenge, and isn’t something to be taken lightly if it involves the health of a loved one. Food allergens can be kept on their own shelf, sure, but they will most likely still be in close proximity to the rest of the food in the refrigerator.

An easy solution? A mini-fridge keeps food containing allergens in their own separate headquarters, making cross-contamination much easier to avoid. Store common culprits for food allergies, like milk or peanut butter, in their own mini-fridge to help keep things completely separated.
