How do I get my refrigerator to have the integrated look into the cabinetry?

The answer is the hinge. High-end refrigerators offer specialty hinges that allow the carcass and doors to sit flush with the surrounding cabinets. This is only available through appliances that are more premium in nature. Without this feature, your refrigerator must pull forward to allow for the thickness of the door (typically 4”-5”) to clear the cabinets. Sometimes, a bit of the side of the refrigerator must also show to allow for added clearance.
