Down with magnets: how to increase the functionality of the vertical surface of the refrigerator
Content:
The lack of usable space in small kitchens forces you to use every centimeter. Magnets on the refrigerator are no longer relevant; you can use vertical surfaces to create order in small things and in your daily routine. And also transform the design of the kitchen or decorate the room for a celebration.
Why you should avoid magnets on your refrigerator
There is nothing wrong with the idea of using the vertical surfaces of refrigerators for beautiful things, but in small spaces you can add functionality to this type of decoration.
Why they refuse magnets:
- There is a constant accumulation of dust, and it is difficult to remove it from small things. It is not recommended to wash most magnets; the paint will peel off and the color will be lost.
- Scratches that often occur when metal interacts with an enamel coating. Also, some low-quality products, when exposed to sunlight, can form stains that are difficult to remove from the surface.
- Some experts argue that hanging magnets in large quantities on a refrigerator can affect the operation of electronic systems and raise the temperature inside the unit.
- People who have heart problems and use a pacemaker should avoid an increased magnetic field in their home. You shouldn't risk your health every time you go to a refrigerator hung with cute trinkets.
You can use the surfaces of the unit in the most functional and no less beautiful way if you bring the ideas of designers and creative housewives to life.
How to use the vertical surfaces of the refrigerator
The enamel coating of household appliances is susceptible to scratches, which look untidy when they appear and begin to rust over time. Before bringing any idea to life, you need to make sure that the functional device is safe for the surface.
Towel suction cups
Hooks for napkins and potholders are always used in the kitchen. The refrigerator is often in the hostess’s direct access area, and reaching the required towel is not difficult.
Note board
An excellent solution for a family whose members wake up at different times. You can give your children a task or make a list of groceries to buy.
The vertical surface of the refrigerator is a place for creativity. Children love to draw, and the slate surface will be an excellent replacement for wallpaper.
The board is an excellent workout for primary school students; if the child is shy in large audiences, then you can practice on it at home.
Pockets for small items
You can attach an organizer to the surface where you can put everything you need. This device will also be convenient if the refrigerator is used for notes; crayons and felt-tip pens will be stored in the pockets.
ABC and numbers
You can start teaching your child on the surface of the refrigerator.Magnetic letters and numbers are sold in any children's store and will help you learn your first words and solve simple arithmetic problems. For children, I also advise you to buy magnets with images of their favorite fruits, berries, ice cream or a piece of cake. For correct completion of the task, you can visually promise the child to buy sweets, this will stimulate him to new feats.
Photos and motivation
Creating a photo album from a surface will always be a joy. I have my son's annual birthday pictures on my refrigerator - it's a great mood booster.
Visual motivation will be useful for people who live by an idea or a dream. If you want to go on vacation, attach an image of the place where you want to go.
A photo of yourself with excess weight will force you not to open the door again or make do with a salad for dinner.
Congratulations and cards
What could be a better gift for a mother for her birthday or March 8th than a drawing by her child. A postcard made by yourself or the first word written by yourself. On a weekday, when the whole family is leaving, you can create a birthday greeting on the refrigerator.
Don’t forget about the design of free surfaces. Vinyl stickers, film with photo printing or decoupage in different styles will help to transform the kitchen interior. You can attach flowers and vines on suction cups to the refrigerator and create a green corner that will add coziness and warmth to the room.
By using your imagination, you can not only take up useful space for little things and pleasant motivations, but also transform your kitchen interior beyond recognition.
