How to Decorate a Refrigerator

A functional refrigerator can be more than a cold storage for food and drink. One of your most important kitchen appliances is a virtual canvas for creative display. Read on to learn more about decorating your refrigerator.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Remove all papers, magnets, stickers and other items that are on your refrigerator.
2. Clean the exterior of the refrigerator to remove grease, food, dirt and sticker residue.
3. Gather photos, greeting cards, artwork your kids made, newspaper clippings and other items for display. Come up with a consistent theme or create a mosaic of mismatched images.
4. Layout photographs, pictures, postcards and other types of artwork on the refrigerator. Tilt some images and overlap others to create an interesting visual effect. Attach these items with attractive magnets of varying sizes, color and weight.
5. Use lightweight matting to create frames for the images. The frames can be all the same color or differentiate each child's photos and artwork with a separate color. This helps make the decorated refrigerator look less like clutter and more like a purposeful design.
6. Think outside the ice box. Consider covering the refrigerator in wallpaper or painting a one of a kind mural to make a bold statement.

Tips & Warnings

• Make your own stylish magnets using buttons, marbles and other unlikely objects.
• Incorporate a magnetic notepad or dry erase board in the design if those are necessary, or position this type of functional item on the side of the refrigerator.
• Refrigerator art is vulnerable to kitchen splatters. Laminate or placed treasured family photos, artwork and other mementos in plastic sleeves.
