Galaxy Pistachio Green refrigerator panels: four ways to build in the fridge, each one priced
Reviewed September 2026 · Captivating Cabinets
The Galaxy Pistachio Green refrigerator list has four parts on it, and none of them makes sense on its own. A fridge panel is one piece of an assembly: the panel, a deep cabinet above the appliance, usually a filler, sometimes a second panel, sometimes a tall cabinet doing the panel’s job instead. So rather than walk through the parts one at a time, this article builds the four assemblies people actually choose between, prices each at displayed prices, and then deals with the question a coloured kitchen adds: whether the fridge surround should be green at all.
The parts the recipes are built from
Four parts sit on the refrigerator page, and three more from other pages turn up in every recipe below.
| SKU | What it is | Price | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPG REP1296 | Refrigerator end panel, 12″ × 96″ | $224.25 | This page |
| GPG REP1-1/2 | Refrigerator panel, size not published | $250.25 | This page |
| GPG REP3 | Refrigerator panel, size not published | $325.00 | This page |
| GPG RFPEC | Refrigerator side panel end cap | $97.50 | This page |
| GPG REP2496 | 24″ × 96″ sheet, catalogued as a refacing panel | $295.75 | Refacing panels |
| GPG W361524 | 36″ refrigerator wall cabinet, 15″ high, 24″ deep | $403.00 | Wall cabinets |
| GPG TF396 | Tall filler, 3″ × 96″ | $84.50 | Fillers |
Three honest caveats before the recipes. The live list gives no face size for GPG REP1-1/2 and GPG REP3; their codes read like build-out thicknesses, as the same suffixes do on the refacing sheets, but we will not state a size we cannot show you. The end cap is titled for the refrigerator side panel and we would confirm how it is applied on your bay before relying on it. And the deep cabinet comes in five heights on this list, from GPG W361224 at $370.50 to GPG W362424 at $578.50; which one you need depends on the fridge’s height and the ceiling, so the figure used below is one example, not a rule.
Four recipes, from cheapest to most built-in
Recipe A — fridge at the end of a run, one side exposed
The most common kitchen. The fridge sits at the end of a base run, against a wall on one side and open to the room on the other. You need one full-height panel on the open side, a deep cabinet above, and a tall filler between the fridge and the base run so the fridge door clears the counter. Parts: GPG REP2496 ripped to depth at $295.75, GPG RFPEC at $97.50, GPG W361524 at $403.00 and GPG TF396 at $84.50. About $880.75.
Recipe B — fridge in the middle of a run, both sides exposed above the counter
Here the fridge interrupts a base run and both of its sides would show above the counter line. Two panels, two end caps, one deep cabinet. Parts: two GPG REP2496 for $591.50, two GPG RFPEC for $195.00 and GPG W361524 at $403.00. About $1,189.50. This is the recipe that makes a freestanding fridge look genuinely built in, and it is the one people most often under-budget because they price one panel and forget the second.
Recipe C — a pantry either side instead of panels
Instead of panels, the fridge sits between two tall cabinets, whose sides do the enclosing and also hold a pantry’s worth of food. Parts: two 18-inch pantries, GPG TP182496 at $1,150.50 each, plus GPG W361524 at $403.00. About $2,704.00, before fillers. That is more than twice recipe B, but it replaces two decorative panels with roughly three feet of full-height storage. On the tall cabinet page, 15-inch pantries at $981.50 each bring it down if the wall is shorter.
Recipe D — standard-depth fridge standing proud of the run
A standard-depth fridge sits several inches forward of a 24-inch base run. The panel either stops short and leaves appliance showing at the front, or it comes forward to meet the fridge face. That forward step is what GPG REP1-1/2 at $250.25 and GPG REP3 at $325.00 appear to be for, but without published sizes we would size this recipe on the drawing, from the fridge’s installation sheet. Send us the model number and we will price it exactly.
Where the 12-inch panel fits
GPG REP1296 is only a foot wide, which is too narrow to cover the full depth of a fridge side. It suits bays where only the front of the side is on show: a fridge recessed into a wall niche or a tall run so that just its front twelve inches stand clear, or the front strip of a bay whose back is hidden behind a return wall. In those cases a 24-inch sheet would be mostly buried, and the narrow panel is the cheaper part at $224.25 against $295.75.
If you are not sure how much of your fridge side is exposed, stand at the kitchen doorway and look. Whatever you can see from there is what needs covering; the rest can stay as bare appliance. The kitchen dimensions guide covers the appliance measurements that sit behind that judgement.
Choosing the cabinet above the fridge
Every recipe above uses a deep cabinet over the appliance, and its height is the one number that changes most between kitchens. The cabinet fills the space between the top of the fridge, plus the air the manufacturer asks for, and the line of the other uppers or the ceiling. This list offers the 36-inch-wide, 24-inch-deep version at five heights.
| SKU | Height | Price |
|---|---|---|
| GPG W361224 | 12″ | $370.50 |
| GPG W361524 | 15″ | $403.00 |
| GPG W361824 | 18″ | $419.25 |
| GPG W362124 | 21″ | $487.50 |
| GPG W362424 | 24″ | $578.50 |
Pick the tallest one that fits, because the deep cabinet over a fridge is the most useful awkward storage in a kitchen: trays, platters and the things you use twice a year. The 24-inch depth matters too. A standard 12-inch-deep upper over a fridge leaves a foot-deep void in front of it that nobody can reach, and it looks unfinished beside the panels. The deep cabinet brings the face forward to the line of the panels, so the bay reads as one built-in unit. The deep cabinets are on the wall cabinet page, with widths other than 36 inches for narrower fridges.
Should the fridge surround be green?
In an all-green kitchen, yes, and there is nothing to decide. In a two-tone kitchen the fridge bay is the biggest single decision after the island, because a fridge surround is a floor-to-ceiling block of whatever colour you choose. Paint it green in a kitchen with green lowers and light uppers and you create a green column that joins the floor to the ceiling at one point of the room. That can be exactly right, anchoring one end of the kitchen, or it can look like the one cabinet that did not get the memo.
Three rules we use. If the kitchen has a tall run, the fridge bay takes the same finish as the talls, because together they read as one wall of full-height cabinetry. If there is no tall run and the fridge sits at the end of a green base run, green works and gives the run a strong full stop. If the fridge sits in the middle of the room’s longest wall, surrounded by light uppers, a light surround in Frost, Linen or Dove usually lets the bay recede and keeps the green where it belongs, below the counter.
The stainless door itself is less of a problem than people fear. Brushed steel is a cool mid grey, and this finish is a greyed, muted green rather than a saturated one, so the two sit closer in value than steel and a bright white do. In our view that makes a stainless fridge look less like a hole in a green kitchen than in a white one. Check it with a door sample held beside your actual fridge; at $25.00 it is the cheapest decision in the room.
Ordering the bay
Buy the fridge first, or at least choose the model. Everything in these recipes is sized from its width, depth including handles, and height including the hinge cap, and those numbers come from the installation sheet, not the marketing page. Then choose a recipe, pick the finish for the surround if the kitchen is two-tone, and order the whole bay together with the kitchen so it all comes from one finishing run.
Send the model number and your wall measurements for a free 3D design; the designer will draw the recipe that suits your room and price it, usually within 24 to 48 hours of the first reply. Everything ships with the Galaxy order, pre-assembled, in seven days to three weeks. The panels are here, the deep cabinets are on the wall cabinet page, and the rest of the finish is on the collection. For the difference between a fridge panel and a flat cabinet skin, see the skin and gable guide.
Common questions
- How much does it cost to build in a refrigerator with these cabinets?
- At displayed prices, about $880.75 for a fridge at the end of a run (one panel, end cap, deep cabinet and a tall filler), about $1,189.50 with panels on both sides, and about $2,704.00 with an 18-inch pantry either side instead of panels. The deep cabinet’s height changes the total by up to $208.00.
- Should I use panels or pantry cabinets beside my fridge?
- Panels are the cheaper way to make a fridge look built in. Pantries cost more than twice as much but add full-height storage either side. If the wall is long enough and storage is short, pantries are usually worth it.
- What size are the REP1-1/2 and REP3 refrigerator panels?
- The live list does not publish their face size. The codes read like build-out thicknesses for a fridge that stands proud of the run. Send us the fridge model and we will confirm the finished size before ordering.
- Should the fridge surround be green in a two-tone kitchen?
- Match it to the tall cabinets if there are any. With no tall run, green works when the fridge ends a green base run, and a light surround works better when the fridge sits in the middle of a wall of light uppers.
- Does stainless steel look right with a green kitchen?
- Usually, yes. Brushed steel is a cool mid grey and this finish is a muted grey-green, so the two are close in value. In our view that makes a stainless fridge stand out less than it would against bright white cabinets.
