Designers Are All in on Retro Fridges in 2025—Shop Our Top Picks Now

Technically, this beverage cooler is a fridge, so we're adding it to our list as the most affordable pick. Whether you use it to store soda, beer, or even skincare, you'll begin to rely on it because it's so cute and quite useful.

"I've had this mini fridge tucked under my PC desk, and I use it mainly for makeup storage," one reviewer said. "It's just the right size. I can fit all my skincare products, makeup palettes, and even some brushes in there. The consistent temperature ensures that my makeup stays fresh and ready to use."

When we think of a retro-inspired refrigerator, Smeg definitely comes to mind. This one, the classic, if you will, comes in seven shades, including robin's egg blue, bright yellow, and mint green. Our personal favorite, however, is the iconic Union Jack. Did we mention there's also a similar version, but instead of the British symbol, it's the American flag. This fridge is also made in Italy, so you already know it includes a wine rack. As is the case with most big-ticket goodies from Williams-Sonoma, you can enjoy free white glove delivery to the room of your choice.

This refrigerator is a minimalist masterpiece complete with two full-width slide-out glass shelves, a full-width crisper, and a six-can dispenser for beer, juice, or anything else you drink on the regular. On the functional side of things, this find features an adjustable thermostat control, interior light, space-saving flat back design, and leveling legs. One of the five-star reviews says, "So we recently put a shade area off our pool deck. We live on a pleasure farm and went rustic. This fit perfect. Freezer has freeze pops for kids and adults then fridge has juice pouches water and adult beverages. It will come in for the winter as extra fridge during holidays! We love it"

While most retro fridges are on the smaller side, Big Chill offers a more standard-size option. This two-door top-freezer refrigerator is nearly double the size of the two-door Smeg at 20.5 cubic feet. It comes in an array of bold colors, and for an added $400 fee, you can choose from dozens of other custom colors. The best part? If you're not into the glossy finish, opt for a matte one.

Sometimes all you need is a mini fridge, and we'd suggest this one, from Winia. It comes in five fun colors and two sizes to fit a variety of spaces and styles. Inside, it features bright LED lighting and adjustable glass shelves. You'll be surprised to learn how much you can fit in here. "The fridge came extremely quickly in a perfect condition, carefully packaged, and cute. I didn't adjust the temperature. I like a clear plastic shelf above the fresh produce drawer because I can see and remember what I have. Funny thing, I feel like I have more food now than when we had a 20 cu ft fridge," one reviewer says.

The great thing about ordering anything—especially a large appliance—from The Home Depot is that you can enlist a local pro to help with delivery and installation. Plus, the customer service from The Home Depot is pretty impeccable. Back to the fridge, though: It's Energy Star-certified, available in seven hues, and includes an adjustable thermostat. One reviewer says, "It's exactly what I wanted and more. It's just me, so there is plenty of room for my food in there. It doesn’t have all the fancy things you see in modern fridges, but this is so incredibly perfect that you wouldn’t miss any of it. I would highly recommend if you are looking to add a little flare to your kitchen and can afford to downsize the square footage."

Another mini fridge that makes the cut is this Frigidaire find. It's pretty basic, but it does everything you'll need, including keeping your goodies cold. It includes an easily removable and adjustable shelf, an adjustable thermostat, and a two-liter door basket. One of the nearly 8,000 five-star reviews says, "Never thought I'd love a fridge as much as this! I needed a new fridge for my office at work. It was delivered directly to my office by the Amazon driver. No dings or dents! It arrived within two days of ordering. If you like the color pink like me, treat yourself and get this cute retro fridge. It makes me smile every time I look at it."
