What do you do if you don't like the look of your mixer?
Do you splurge on a new one? Do you sigh and simply ignore it? Or, like these highly creative people, do you redesign your mixer and turn it into the belle of your kitchen? If you need some inspiration, these mixer makeovers are incredible!
1. Give it a new color
If you simply wish your mixer was another color, or a brighter shade, this quick update will set your kitchen straight.
2. Speckle it in polka dots
Turn your tired KitchenAid into a ladybug-like masterpiece, with a couple coats of spray paint.
3. Layer it in leopard print
Maybe your mixer doesn't need a color change, but who says it can't get just a touch of fun? Dress up a plain colored mixer with a vinyl animal pattern, like this wild design.
4. Bedazzle it in pink
Talk about baking bling! Fancy up your kitchen friend, with a glamorous cover of tiny colorful crystals.
5. Give it a metallic sheen
Copper is in, and mixer makeovers are no exception. Add a metallic coat and some fun decorations, with spray paint and stencils.
6. Cover it in subway style lettering
For an edgier look, cover the mixer in big, colorful lettering laid in every direction.
7. Decoupage it in roses
Flowers look good anywhere, especially in the kitchen. Decorate your mixer with flower pictures or floral paper napkins, to add a dreamy design.
8. Edge it with a doily design
Instead of changing the color or adding a full graphic, trim your mixer with a doily design edge, for just a little bit of elegance.
9. Paint it with a quilted design
If you're the lucky owner of a country style kitchen, this quilt-like checked design is the perfect makeover for your boring mixer.
10. Add a vinyl message
Instead of separate words, use vinyl lettering to add a full message. This cute mixer reminder is the perfect decoration if baking is your favorite way to unwind.
11. Disguise it with faux wood grain
OK, we know how much you guys love the wood look, even when it's just paint, so this one is our treat to you! If your kitchen is filled with warm wood detailing, this little farmhouse mixer will fit right in.
