The kids love them.

It’s the same as slapping stickers or magnets on your car. It never looks neat or tidy.

Hate: more visual clutter!
@saralesperance
If a kitchen is open, then it looks too cluttered. If closed off, cute!
@leanemarieb
We collect magnets when we travel. They’re reminders of places we’ve explored.
@kristophershinn
They make it look messy, so I put them on the side of the fridge out of sight.
@sforrestree_
In a world of tech/Instagram-led interior design aesthetics, they give character to a home.
@dswhvdihu
The constant removing to clean refrigerator doors!
@cubedsb
Tacky.
@kerstinfineart
They provide an acceptable opportunity to be tacky.
@silvanogon
When I open the fridge door too fast, some of the weaker ones fly off! A metaphor for life?
@darafontein
Honestly, fridge magnets can be fun but really I prefer a fully integrated fridge with a panel.
@creedefitch
Because nothing is that serious.
