Followers of Jennifer Garner will have become highly familiar with the actor's kitchen, thanks to her 'Pretend Cooking Show' on Instagram. In the series, we see everything from her go-to appliances to her cabinet finishes. However, it turns out that her kitchen accessories extend to other rooms in her home.

The 13 Going on 30 star recently shared an Instagram clip of her home office, and we couldn't help but notice the stocked mini fridge behind her.

While coffee makers in a home office are the typical beverage-related accessory located in the workspace, having a mini fridge is a great way to keep chilled beverages nearby – and we found Garner's exact model. The appliance in question? The Joy Pebble Beverage Refrigerator Cooler – designed for compact spaces beyond the conventional kitchen.

The Joy Pebble Beverage Refrigerator Cooler is sleek and minimal, blending in well to any office space thanks to its glass door and black exterior. We also love how there is soft, blue LED lighting inside the mini fridge, to show off the beverages inside.

As far as what can be stored in the fridge, pretty much anything goes. The built-in wine cooler is optimized for long-term aging, with a temperature range of 40°F- 61°F, while the lower shelf can hold any cans or bottles, alcoholic or otherwise.

We can see that Garner has opted to stock her fridge with soda water and chilled wine glasses, which are perfect for the end of a work day.

Another perk of this fridge model? It comes in a variety of sizes, ranging from 1.3 cubic feet to 4.5 cubic feet. We personally love the smallest model, as it is a great fit for even the smallest of home offices.

We recommend placing a mini fridge somewhere that is easily accessible, like a built-in shelf or underneath a desk. We also recommend a glass-fronted mini fridge for its luxe appearance; however, since everything is on display, ensure that innards are organized neatly.

Plus, this refrigerator isn't the only lesson we're stealing from Garner's office. Appliances aside, designers say we should also take note of her color choices, most specifically her soothing gray.

'When thinking about styling for a home office, pale neutrals are a great choice as they inspire creativity, productivity, and tranquillity. Versatile shades such as soft mushroom grays, gentle blush tones, and subtle earthy neutrals allow personalization without overwhelming the workspace, promoting a clean, sophisticated look conducive to focus and collaboration,' comments Debbie Leigh, the design manager at ILIV.

'For a harmonious blend of style and functionality, combine these colors with ergonomic furniture, layers of soft furnishings, and natural materials like light wood and stone, adding warmth.'

Whether she inspires us to bring appliances beyond our kitchen or reminds us of the power of gray, one thing is clear: Jennifer Garner's office doesn't disappoint. If you need us, we'll be stocking up our new mini fridge.
