Woman recreates £1.4k Smeg fridge by wallpapering her cheap version – and she can even change colours when bored | The Sun

A DIY fan shared how she recreated a pricey Smeg fridge for a fraction of the cost using wallpaper.

And it’s the perfect hack for renters who want to add a splash of reversible colour to their homes. 


Megan shared her creative design in a TikTok video online. 

The creative revealed she was renting so she couldn’t fully replace the fridge and she couldn’t directly paint the fridge as that would be permanent. 

So Megan decided she would remove the wallpaper that was already on the fridge and replace it with her own.

In the video she said: “Swapping out my rental fridge wallpaper for pink contact paper.”

Megan decided she wanted to go pink! So she used a pink peel and stick wallpaper to decorate her fridge.

The DIY showed there was barely any hassle making the swap, although she did need to unscrew her fridge handle so that her wallpaper could lay fully flat.

Megan covered her entire fridge in pink wall paper but decided to leave the handle white. 

After she’d stuck on her pink wallpaper Megan wrote the word ‘ZMEG’ in glittery letters on her fridge to mimic a real Smeg.

If you're interested in doing something like this yourself you can get wallpaper in a variety of designs from B&M for even cheaper with prices starting from £7.

And don’t worry if you have a stainless steel fridge you can put the wallpaper over that too.

But make sure your wallpaper is waterproof and you don’t want to get ruined by any messy spills in your fridge.

This will make cleaning your fridge a lot simpler too.
