  • “Fridgescaping” is a new trend that has become popular on social media platforms like TikTok.
  • It involves creating a theme in your fridge with decorative objects, flowers, and lights.
  • Health experts say it could increase health risks if you aren’t careful.
  • It can put you at risk for exposure to harmful microorganisms or chemicals.
  • However, if safety is kept in mind, it can be helpful in keeping your fridge clean and tidy.

“Fridgescaping” is the latest trend taking over TikTok and it has fans of the romantic period drama “Bridgerton” decking out their refrigerators with decor reminiscent of the series, such as ornate china, picture frames, mirrors, and figurines.

Cut flowers and herbs, elaborate displays of fruits and vegetables, and strings of lights accentuate the look.

Fans of fridgescaping often refer to the trend as “Fridgerton,” but it’s not limited to the historical TV series. Other themes include a Mexican edition, an enchanted forest, and Halloween.
