Slowly, but surely colors are finally seeping back into the kitchen with more visual impact beyond small appliances or subtly shaded cabinetry. In our previous coverage of Samsungโs Bespoke offerings weโve lauded the Korean companyโs efforts to establish themselves as the bold outliers within the kitchen appliance category, adorning the largest kitchen appliance in the home with bold hues and even artwork, abandoning the staid standards of a typical black, white, or stainless steel kitchen format.
Yet, Iโve bemoaned the lack of additional options. More colors, please! Well, Samsung seems to have heard the clamoring for additional options, responding in kind with their first-ever Bespoke refrigerator offering image personalization using nearly any uploaded original design, artwork, or photo using Samsungโs MyBespoke online customization tool.
Of course, we had to test this customization feature with a photo from our personal archives, our Bespoke refrigerator emblazoned with a โfavorite photo on the fridgeโ theme taken to its largest extreme.
Such joyful possibilities can be realized for a paltry $300 extra per panel. But can you really attach a price to something so satisfying as adorning your refrigerator with a favorite photo of your beloved feline wearing a curly wig?
MyBespoke fridge panel customization is now available for one or both French Doors, with the option to assign separate images to each panel door or to designate a single image to adorn the surface across both doors [as shown above]. Other adjoining lower panels can be further customized in colors to complement your truly bespoke kitchen appliance.
Once ordered, Samsung promises to deliver your customized doors directly in give or take eight weeks for self installation.ย
Noting all the hoopla surrounding AI Generative Art, Samsung has also sought out the partnership with generative artist, Matt Jacobson (a.k.a. numbersinmotion), to create 100 unique generative art prints for Bespoke refrigerators inspired by nature and the elements.
The MyBespoke Generative Art Collection uses four popular Bespoke colors as a foundation, including White Glass, Navy Steel, Morning Blue, and Emerald Green. The algorithmically generated digital art collection draws inspiration from nature, visually channeling how water might flow through a stream or how wind might blow through air.
The collection is available for a limited time and free to download from January 31 โ February 13, 2023. The digital prints are sized for Bespoke refrigerator panels, so you can easily upload, edit and print the designs with MyBespoke on samsung.com.

This Boerum Hill project is a minimal residence located in Brooklyn, New York, designed by Bespoke Only. The designers, Melissa Lee and Erika Chou, drew inspiration from the Norwegian and English countryside, embodying the โnew romanticโ aesthetic for which the firm has become known.
To bring the design to life, the duo introduced a range of background details that honor the dwellingโs historic roots while also functioning seamlessly within the modern setting. The project successfully melds the past and present, creating a living space that is both stylish and comfortable.
In the kitchen, a hunter green glass cabinet, which was salvaged from elsewhere, showcases the ownersโ impressive collection of cookbooks โ adding a splash of color to the cozy space. The kitchen also features archival William Morris wallpaper and subtle color combinations that were inspired by the homeโs 18th century roots, which are softly illuminated by antique opaline fixtures.
Melissa Lee explains, โThe Boerum Hill project was all about bringing character and charm back to this historic townhome, a Federal style townhouse on arguably one of the most quintessential tree lined Brooklyn blocks. We wanted the home to feel lived-in, soulful and most importantly, befitting its past and present. We reintroduced a series of โbackgroundโ details that define the integrity of a historic vernacular dwelling with aplomb โ materials and finishes appropriate for its 18-century bones yet function fluidly in a modern day setting.โ
