Decorating a refrigerator is not easy. That is why it is honorable. What you decide to do depends on your creativity. Draw: glue, sculpt, paint – we will select ideas for every taste, depending on the level of proficiency in tools.
Before starting work, let’s remember the preparation. First you need to prepare the basis for decorating. To do this, wash the surface and wipe dry. Most refrigerators are monochromatic, so the preparation stage is over at this point. Next, we take the selected tools in our hands and begin to create.
Telephone booths are very popular in refrigerator decor.

Airbrushing
Let’s start with the hardest part. For this type, a special airbrush tool is used, and the artist also uses brushes for detailed drawing of small details. If you have the talent and experience, and also have the necessary tools and special paint in use, you can create this design yourself. However, it is better to entrust the matter to a professional. The procedure is expensive, but you will get a real work of art that fits perfectly into the overall design of the room..
Before drawing a pattern on the surface, it is modeled using computer graphics. This is where your help is needed. To avoid misunderstandings regarding small details, location and colors, it is better to create a layout of the future image together with the master..

Art painting
In this case, the artist uses a regular brush, and not the spray method, as in the previous one. Therefore, creating it with your own hands is much easier. If you have an outstanding artistic talent, you can embody the most daring ideas..
Use acrylic or spray paint as a base. Different types of paint work well for different techniques. It is better to paint graffiti with an aerosol, while it is better to draw small details with a brush using acrylic paint. Upon completion of the work, the drawing must be covered with a layer of varnish. This procedure will help to preserve the design longer, as well as add depth and volume..
Even the simplest things will perfectly complement the decor.

Stickers
Moving from complex to simple. Decorative stickers are suitable for any space. At the moment, there are a huge variety of them, and you can choose any to your taste. It is also possible to create custom stickers according to the selected pattern..
This design can replace art painting in such a way that it will be difficult to distinguish techniques. There are a number of 3D stickers that can turn your refrigerator into a world of its own. So you can easily “settle” a pet in the kitchen, “build” a fireplace, “create” a sea beach and just a cozy or cheerful atmosphere..

Film
Another alternative to painting, as well as stickers, is decorative film. It will be even easier with her. No need to create a combination of stickers and figure out how to place them. It is enough to purchase a film of the appropriate size and paste over the refrigerator with it, placing it over the entire area.
There are also many options for vinyl. You can choose an existing plot, purchase a plain film, or with any pattern. You also have the opportunity to order large-format printing on film by applying your favorite pattern or your own photographs.
There is also a practical side to completely covering the refrigerator with foil. This coating is dense and will protect the surface from scratches. From time to time, you can change the film or completely remove it, and your refrigerator will have a new look without scratches and chips..

Magnets
Everyone’s favorite magnets are still popular. You may have seen a lot of “stuck” fridge magnets in friends’ houses. But by bringing memories from the sea, sealed in this magnet, you can create a work of art out of them, and not just “stick” on the refrigerator.
An interesting idea would be to attach in a new city or country with a magnet brought from the same place. This option is more interesting and symbolic than just placed magnets..
It is also convenient to use magnetic boards. They are quite lightweight and can be easily attached to an iron surface. They come in different sizes, formats and designs. You can choose from a magnetic board framed in Victorian or Baroque style. Or, on the contrary, in a cheerful frame with funny faces. This solution will also be practical. Here you can post notes, to-do list, or groceries, as well as leave messages to your loved one, children or parents.

You can decorate it with various stickers and photographs. Place the little things you need in the kitchen in these pockets: note paper, pen, pencil, scissors, lighter and other details you need..
For fastening, make two loops on the back of the organizer and purchase hooks that are attached to the refrigerator using magnets. If you get tired of the organizer, you can then hang tea towels on these hooks..
The refrigerator can be pasted over like this.
