These appliances now feature sleek, modern lines and durable finishes, making them a stylish choice for contemporary homes.
The renewed interest in white french door refrigerators is also driven by their versatility and practicality. White appliances seamlessly blend with various kitchen styles, from minimalist and modern to farmhouse and coastal themes.

6 White French Door Refrigerator Shopping Tips
Choosing the right white french door refrigerator goes beyond selecting a color or brand. These refrigerators are known for their sleek appearance and user-friendly design, but there are a few important things to keep in mind before making your final decision.
Here are six essential tips to help you shop smart and find the best model for your kitchen and lifestyle.
1. Measure Your Space Carefully
Before you fall in love with a particular model, like a white counter depth refrigerator, make sure you know exactly how much space you have to work with. Measure the width, height, and depth of the area where your refrigerator will go, including space for door clearance and ventilation. French door refrigerators come in various sizes, so it’s important to check both standard-depth and counter-depth models to see which fits your layout best, especially if you have a kitchen island or tight walkways.
2. Understand the Capacity You Need
White french door refrigerators come in sizes ranging from around 20 to over 28 cubic feet. If you have a large household or like to shop in bulk, go for a model with more capacity. However, if you’re limited by kitchen space or live alone, a slightly smaller model may be more efficient and easier to maintain. Think about how much fresh produce, frozen food, and beverages you typically store so you can choose a refrigerator that meets your daily needs without wasting energy.
3. Look for Adjustable Storage Features
One of the best things about french door refrigerators is their customizable storage. Look for features like adjustable shelving, gallon door bins, full-width deli drawers, and split shelves that can fold down to accommodate tall items. These small design choices can make a big difference in how easily you can organize your groceries. Flexible interior storage is especially helpful if you cook often or like to entertain.
4. Evaluate Energy Efficiency
Most modern French door refrigerators are ENERGY STAR®-certified, but energy consumption can still vary by model and brand. Look for units with inverter compressors or dual cooling systems, which help maintain optimal temperatures while using less energy. Not only does this reduce your utility bill, but it also minimizes your carbon footprint—a win for both your wallet and the environment.
5. Decide Between Standard or Counter-Depth
Counter-depth white french door refrigerators are designed to align flush with your cabinetry, creating a built-in look that’s ideal for modern kitchens. Standard-depth models often offer more interior space but may stick out farther from your counters. If aesthetics are a top priority or your kitchen is designed with a streamlined layout, a counter-depth option might be the better fit.
6. Don’t Forget About Finish and Maintenance
While older white appliances used to yellow over time, today’s finishes are engineered for long-lasting brightness and easy cleaning. Look for models with smudge-resistant or fingerprint-proof finishes to reduce upkeep, especially if you have children or pets. Glossy or matte whites can also vary in tone, so be sure to compare finishes in person if you're trying to match cabinetry or existing appliances.

Featured White French Door Refrigerators
Keep reading for our top five white double door refrigerator recommendations from Idler’s Home.
Café 36 in. 28.7 Cu. Ft. Matte White French Door Refrigerator
Shop this Café Matte White French Door Refrigerator
This Matte White Café fridge is a clear departure from your grandma’s white refrigerator. On the outside, pro-style handles and a streamlined silhouette make a statement, while the gray interior, LED light wall, and copper accents make the interior shine. This fridge is ENERGY STAR®-certified with unique features like built-in Wi-Fi and a convertible drawer with five customizable temperature settings. In terms of performance, the humidity control system makes your leafy greens last 2.5x longer, while the advanced water filtration provides clean water for your family. We also love the Dual-Dispense AutoFill Pitcher and the convenient flatbread freezer compartment.
Featured Café #CGE29DP4TW2 Review:
“I never thought I would enjoy a fridge that did not have ice/water on the outside of the door. However, everyone in my family of five agrees that the pitcher is way better. It always provides you ready to go cold water and the time to fill is faster versus waiting for the dispenser to fill a cup directly. Since the ice bin is located in the bottom freezer area it provides a lot more ice then the in door ice options you would get with an ice dispenser.”
Samsung Bespoke 36 In. 28.8 Cu. Ft. White Glass French Door Refrigerator
Shop this Samsung Bespoke White Glass French Door Refrigerator
Whereas Café refrigerators are known for being chic, this Samsung Bespoke fridge is undeniably sleek. We love the recessed handles and White Glass finish. This ENERGY STAR®-certified fridge features a FlexZone Drawer similar to Café’s convertible drawer, which also features five temperature settings. To compare with Café’s Dual-Dispense AutoFill Pitcher, this Samsung refrigerator features a Beverage Center, allowing you to choose from an internal dispenser or a built-in pitcher that automatically refills. But this fridge also features a Dual Ice Maker with ice bites, everyone’s favorite pellet ice. Additionally, this modern fridge has an extra-large capacity ideal for families.
LG Studio 36 in. 26.5 Cu. Ft. Essence White Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
Shop this LG Studio Essence White Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
This LG white refrigerator is chic and modern. The Essence White finish is sophisticated and timeless, and we love the contrast of the charcoal gray interior. Large households will appreciate the largest counter-depth capacity in the industry, along with the ENERGY STAR® certification and savings. This fridge offers fresh, filtered water, a built-in ice maker, and LG Lineap cooling, which keeps your food fresher for longer. Door Cooling+ and the Cool Guard metal interior are both designed to maintain chilly temps and fresher food.
Featured LG Studio #SRFB27S3 Review:
“I love my new LG Studio counterdepth refrigerator. Changing my appliances to white with gold (rose gold) handles classes up my kitchen to the next level. The interior is spacious and I love having the water dispenser inside to have a seamless front door.”
Bosch 800 Series 36 in. 20.5 Cu. Ft. Arctic White Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
Shop this Bosch 800 Series Arctic White Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
With a look that rivals a Samsung Bespoke fridge, this Bosch 800 Series is a high-quality and stylish refrigerator. In terms of performance, dual compressors and dual evaporators provide superior cooling and humidity control. This refrigerator is ENERGY STAR®-certified, counter-depth, and well-organized. We love the Bosch Refreshment Center, which features an easy-to-view, easy-to-reach glass display drawer. It’s an alternative to Café’s convertible drawer and Samsung’s FlexZone drawer, but for beverage lovers.
KitchenAid 31 in. 19.7. Cu. Ft. White French Door Refrigerator
Shop this KitchenAid White French Door Refrigerator
Similar in aesthetics to our Café and LG pick, this KitchenAid white refrigerator is a slim option for a smaller kitchen. The ExtendFresh Temperature Management System makes it easy to set the ideal temp, while the FreshChill temperature-controlled full-width pantry provides a place to store long items, like a tray of appetizers or a sheet cake. The automatic interior ice maker provides you with a constant supply of ice while keeping the flush facade on the exterior. We love the attention to detail with the bright LED lighting, pro-style handles, and metallic accents on the interior shelves.
KitchenAid #KRFF300EWH Review:
“I bought this 2 months ago. This is by far the best refrigerator that I have ever owned. The adjustable shelves in the fridge are amazing and so versatile. I highly recommend this fridge.”
