This "Simple" Kitchen DIY Uses Wallpaper in a Shocking Way

"It really is the simplest, yet most high-impact projects we've done! All it is, is some peel-and-stick wallpaper. This project probably only took us one afternoon, too! I hope you all enjoy wallpapering your fridges too!"

"Gabby used a gingham print peel-and-stick wallpaper on both fridge doors to completely hide that cold stainless steel finish. And she spray-painted the handles with bronze paint and a sealant to make them match her kitchen's brass fittings."

"Gabby picked up her peel-and-stick wallpaper from Target, but there are so many different patterns and brands available on Amazon, Wayfair, or even at your local hardware store. The gingham print is cute and cottage-y, but you could also try this DIY project with pinstripe paper, faux wood grain that matches your cabinets, or a floral print."

Stainless steel appliances, traditionally symbols of modern kitchens, can clash with cottagecore and old-world design preferences. A simple solution involves applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to refrigerator doors to conceal the cold metal finish. One homeowner used gingham-print wallpaper and spray-painted handles with bronze paint to coordinate with brass kitchen fittings. The project requires minimal time and effort while delivering significant visual impact. Peel-and-stick wallpaper comes in numerous patterns including gingham, pinstripe, faux wood grain, and floral designs, available from retailers like Target, Amazon, Wayfair, and local hardware stores. This styling technique works on both stainless steel and older white refrigerators, creating warm, inviting kitchen spaces.
