Not loving the look of your RV’s fridge? Try one of these ideas for a fresh look.

1. Paint

If the front of your refrigerator is made of wood, you can paint it just like you might paint wood cabinets.

2. Removable peel-and-stick paper

The great thing about this option is that it can be temporary.

3. Chalkboard

If your refrigerator’s front panels are removable (as is the case with most wood front refrigerators), you can simply replace the panels with inexpensive chalkboard material cut to the correct size.

For a removable and less messy alternative, you can use peel-and-stick vinyl chalkboard paper.

Another option is to just purchase a magnetic chalkboard and hang it on the front of your refrigerator.

4. Dry erase board

Similar to the idea above, but the white look might be preferable for some decor, and the material can be purchased quite cheaply. In this video, the Fummins Family demonstrates the simple process.

5. Magnetic panels

Not only is this refrigerator now magnetic, it also doubles as a dry erase board. You can see step-by-step photos detailing how the wood grain panel was replaced with steel here.
