Nothing stops you from personalising your wheelchair so that it showcases your personality a little more. In fact, it could make your chair a topic of conversation – in the best possible way! Here are some ways to make your chair more personalised.
Framing the design
When purchasing a new chair, be creative with the colour you pick for your frame. If that option is too expensive, or if you don’t have a say in the colour of your chair, consider spray painting it. Be sure to check that the paint won’t damage the frame, use good quality paint, and spray the frame in a well ventilated area.
If you want something less permanent, consider stickers or even adhesive rolls. You could put a wood or marble finish on your frame with the use of the rolls.
Dressing the seat
If you are skilled with needlework, considering creating fun seat covers for your chair. If that’s not an option, consider the Chair-T by Smergos, which can be a colour addition to your chair. View the Chair-T here.
Accessorise
In addition to adapting the frame or seat cover, you can add accessories to your chair that will be functional, but also look great. Smergos has a range of wheelchair bags and accessories, but you can even shop on Takealot for some fun additions to your chair. Consider a dining tray, drink holder or cell phone holder.
