The vinyl tape hack has been praised by a number of mums that have taken to Facebook to share their impressive results, with many claiming that it makes the fridge look more expensive than it really is.
It all started when one woman shared a photograph of her modified fridge to Australian Facebook group Kmart Hacks & Detour, writing: "Vinyl wrapped our fridge this afternoon. What a difference it makes. What can I put on top of the fridge? The plants are there to test what they look like."
While her vinyl tape came from Australian shop Kmart, Brits can buy B&Q's self-adhesive - which costs just £10 for a roll.
