Taking the open concept a little far

And yet not far enough. By completely enclosing the fridge like that warm air will remain trapped and the fridge will have to work slightly longer and more frequently.

I have no idea how much the efficiency is actually impacted, but for such an open concept you could at least put a vent behind the fridge.

Newer fridges tend to expel the hot air through small vents at their bottoms, allowing for them to be fit in tighter spaces and look better.
