Does anyone have a mini- refrigerator in the bedroom

The kitchen feels like mile away at night and we have a large bedroom. I wanted to get a mini refrigerator to stick in a corner (maybe even the closet) with a couple bottles of water - is that so bad? Is it unheard of?

DH is completely against it but I want to hear your thoughts and see if you anyone has tried it

I know of diabetics who might have one in their bedroom if the insulin is too far to get too if there was a problem in the middle of the night, but ummm...other than that...refrigerators belong in the kitchen IMHO.Chat Icon

I usually keep a bottle of water on my nightstand if I need something to drink during the night (which is usually never!) But if it wasn't there, I'd want it Chat Icon

I have a pretty large bedroom and stairs to get to the kitchen...I just bring ice water and set it on my bedside table. I drink from it at night.

The fridge is too much, IMO.

I keep water on my nightstand, but no mini-fridge. I think that may be too much, but its your house so its up to you

I never really heard of that and wouldn't do it personally but maybe if you got a piece of furniture where you could hide the fridge - like they do in hotels?

Why dont you get a teeny tiny fridge like one of these.... I am sure you could hide it somewhere in your room!

if you think you REALLY need it, disguise it in the closet. IMO though, it reminds me of a frat house or dorm room.

Re: Does anyone have a mini- refrigerator in the bedroom

My friend had a water cooler in her room. Mind you the house was huge and she was on one of the floors w/o a kitchen. (Yes there were 2&1/2 kitchensChat Icon )
I like that bedside water carafe from Restoration hardware. Not sure if they still have thou.
I wouldn't have one in my BR but the idea of maybe having one hidden in a piece of furniture sounds ok.

Re: Does anyone have a mini- refrigerator in the bedroom

my Dad & his wife have a "coffee bar" in their bedroom. It has a countertop with sink, a built in small fridge, a pull out garbage can & a small cabinet. Their bedroom is at least 1000 sq feet, its actually a bedroom, sitting area, dressing area & closet area. Its also two levels.
Their real kitchen is a mile away. So they love the coffee bar. DH & I talked about putting a small one in our bedroom & it would fit but we'd never use it. I just take a glass of water up with me every night.

My DH and I intend to put one in our master bedroom when we remodel, but it will be hidden in an armoire or closet.

Our friends just added a huge master suite to their masterbedroom and they regret not putting in a small fridge. (It was in the plans to put into a closet in their master bathroom, but for whatever reason, they opted not to do it.)

I grew up with a fridge in the LIVING ROOM (small one) for my dad's BEER!!!Chat Icon

(OMG!! This sounds so trashy!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon but it was also used as a bar area in a large living room Chat Icon )


I don't think it's a big deal at all to have one in the bedroom for water ...
