This is hard to resolve. In the far distant future, kitchens will have one wall with a deep counter, i.e. 28" or 30" deep. Not today. Too many people cutting a 4' by 8' sheet in half to make "standard" size cabinetry.... Are you aware of Cabinet depth and Counter depth ? These are two different terms for what you want. One meaning the entire appliance including door is flush with your 24" deep counter -- but that loses So Much space I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Another term means the box before the door is 24" deep, and a thin door adds another 2 or 3 inches. If your layout lets you use a French Door fridge without making you open both doors all the time, you have one more option and a more regular depth. The minute you look at a shallower depth French-door fridge you have to spend $500 more just for a basic model. French-door fridge-bottom-freezers LG and another brand too, but I forget which one it is right now. Single door fridge-bottom-freezers that are not as deep as Amana Whirlpool etc : Miele KF1801 (84" tall). Summit FFBF285SS 26" deep (75" tall). Only 28" wide so the door doesn't need as much space as a 30" door. Liebherr has a couple. Fisher Paykel is about 31" wide and 26" deep Consider cutting into the wall to make a recess to stick the back of the fridge into. -David

@bikewalkbarb, we used a regular 24x30 cabinet and pulled it forward 6” by building the hip wall. I put in what most people would call a prep sink. It’s this one: Check out this NORRSJÖN from IKEA. Here’s a little more information: https://ingka.page.link/1BkPy6CpRXDnUGK17 I pulled the sink as far forward as the original sink was, so I now have a large space in the back where I have my knife block (since the cabinet above the sink allows me to pull the knives out without sliding the block forward), a dish storing my scrubbing pads, and in the back right corner is an ikea dish strainer. We didn’t have enough space on the right either and so I went with the smaller deep sink (still fits the Insta pot fine). So on the right I have the dish strainer pushed all the way to the corner and our coffee pot right in front of it. Probably looks a bit crowded, but our kitchen is smaller and I can fill the coffee pot directly from the pull down faucet (I went with moen (sp?)). I pushed the sink as far as left in the 30 inch cabinet as I could and turned the right side into a pull out drawer where our garbage and recycles are now. Still working on trim and some touch up painting. Took these quick this morning so things might be a bit of a mess.

Here's the pix of my 33" fridge (note it's an LG...it's ready to die at a moment's notice) in a 37" space. When I had my kitchen redone in 2010 I figured I would need a new fridge soon....go figure it' still running. If I had the fridge centered in the opening, you probably wouldn't even notice, but I keep my handy dandy stepstool on the left. Note: I do not subscribe to the minimalist kitchen rule.

I have a beach home with a 33 inch refrigerator. It is not counter depth. We built the house in 2011 and we are on a second one. The ocean environment is not kind. Ours is a second home that we rent so a different dynamic since you didn't mention renting. But rust was not the renter's fault - at least not entirely. It doesn't help to leave windows open in the summer which I am sure some renters do - or at least the shoulder seasons. So the 33 is a bit of a pain since the variety of replacements is less. Supply effects price. But no way would I be putting a counter depth one in - the replacement cost is too high especially if you are not using it everyday. This is what I see - 20 days a year, replace every 5 if you are lucky. So you only get 100 days of life from a fridge. So buy the $1000 model not the $3000 model. I have Subzero columns in our primary house - it is really hard to spend more on a fridge. Then there are the hurricanes. There is a reason why most beach houses are not all that fancy ..... Our house is 2100 sqft, 5 bedrooms. It will be full Memorial Day. With multiple kids per bedroom. We don't do bottled drinks much but our guest do. But every brings coolers anyway. But a 33 standard is bigger than a 30 counter - and we run out of room. FIshmarket + sports drinks + everyone bringing eggs - so there are 3 dozen in the fridge.....
