French doors work well if the fridge is easily accessed from either
side, but not when it is against a wall on one side and a table nearby.
However, it has to be a French door fridge with bottom mount freezer.
Years ago we had a French doors with fridge on one side and freezer on
the other. We hated it. Between the narrow width and shelving
configuration it was hard to fit large things into either side and there
was a lot of wasted space.
