It looks bad because it's empty. To me, though, that's three more walls for art or shelving, or even a breakfast table. It's a little odd to be at that angle, but I don't hate it. It's just strange because it's all by itself.
Sure, but if the fridge walls themselves were fixed in place, then that's very restrictive for no reason. I would be much more satisfied with this if it were a shell that was sitting on the flooring, and could be moved or replaced if a different fridge is wanted.
Someone read a 1980s high school home-ec textbook, with the diagram noting that kitchen efficiency required the sink, stove, and fridge on facing walls, and ever since, would not take NO for an answer.
