Turn it into a Chalk Board
Forget smart fridges, you can create your very own shopping list on your fridge with this creative idea. Simply apply primer and chalkboard paint to your dull-looking appliance and turn it into a drawing board, shopping list or a way to prevent the kids from drawing on the walls! Ok, so it’s not as high tech, but it’s a whole lot cheaper and gives your kitchen a personal touch. Give it a try!

Change the Colour
If you’re looking to add a bit of colour to your kitchen or you’ve decided to redecorate and your fridge just doesn’t match anymore, why not paint it! Whether a bright and bold colour is your thing or if you just want to paint over the marks, a coat of paint can bring the life back into your fridge and colour into your kitchen.
