Usually when you get side panels you automatically have space on the sides. If you have a full depth cabinet on the top, you automatically have space at the top and in most cases you will have leave at least 1 inch of extra room for the back of the refrigerator, so there is always air circulation since everything is enclosed. In the 70's they use to make a small recessed space behind like Fred said, today you don't have to do that, most Ref have flat backs, recessed wiring, not to mention the supply for ice-maker also comes in a flush mounting kits for the wall... so pretty much everything is recessed and only space you need is for air circulation and 1" is more then enough. In addition, if you make recessed area now and you push ref to far you will never get your doors open so doing all that is a waste of time, in addition most manufacturers starting to make 30" side panels.

is bedroom 2 the one to the right of the dining room? the bathroom there is showing a basin in it. yes? so you want to know, aside from the basin/sink in that bathroom would you also like one in the living room dining room itself. i don't see a need for another one, if the kitchen is right there, and the bathroom is right there... having an additional sink in the dining room isnt something i understand a need for.
