I’ll admit it that I’m far from the most organized person on the planet. Between long workdays and pure exhaustion, my apartment rarely looks picture-perfect. More often than not, it’s a cluttered mess, which is why I’m glad I live alone. Since the place is pretty compact, I’ve had to get creative with storage. And really, who hasn’t piled stuff on top of the fridge? It’s such a wide, open spot that leaving it empty almost feels wasteful.
But after staring at my own chaotic setup, I started to wonder—is it actually okay to keep things up there? Surely, I’m not the only one turning the top of a refrigerator into a mini shelf. Still, balancing random items on an appliance that hums with heat and vibration probably isn’t the safest idea.
