If you’re a renter, you know that without a hammer and nails, it’s hard to make your space feel unique to you and your family. Here is someone who found a way to dress up his fridge with magnetic decals and without breaking his contract.
I needed a fun and unique way to dress up my renters fridge without breaking my contract. I decided to create a complex pattern on my fridge using magnets.
The Materials I used were 4 sheets of magnetic photo paper that can be purchased at an office supply store for $10. I used the graphics program Adobe Illustrator CS4 to make the design but other programs like Inkscape (free) can work just as well or use your own bare hands. And a trusty X-acto knife.
I went to work on figuring how much area of the fridge I could cover in four sheets. Turns out I could get 5 fleur de lis per page, I added a diamond shape to reduce waste and help the environment.
The magnetic paper cuts easily but trying to get in the corners was hard even with a X-acto. It took several hours of cutting distributed over the course of a few evenings. But the end result is a lot of fun. There is a lot of potential of what you can do with it, re-arranging the pattern, create a counter or a calendar…
I used peel-n-stick wall decals on my washing machine and dryer, but I kind of like the versatility of these fridge decorations not only being able to re-arrange and such but the fact that if I can print it and cut it out, I can use it. The world of design is my oyster!
