Who said only cars have the right to bling and cool accessories? Your wheelchair can very well be a blank canvas on which you can do anything. Today, we give you 3 tips on how you can dress up your wheelchair. 

1. Add art
1. Air brush art

The best area to have anything airbrushed on is behind your backrest. Standard manual wheelchairs have nice smooth backrests ideal for air brush art. The surface area is big enough, making the artwork more visible and easier to apply. Even surfaces like your backrest also make drying more even.  

Usually, air brush art produces pieces in deep, bold colors with thick outlines. This is great if you like graffiti art or if you’re into neo-impressionism. Air bush is also the way to go if you’d like to immortalize actors or musicians on your backrest. 

2. Hand painted art

You’d be amazed to learn that you can fit murals in your backrest. With the right artist, you recreate famous frescos and even iconic paintings. If you prefer something edgier, you can have a little Andy Warhol painted on your backrest. If you fancy Warhol’s soup can, wheelchairs with a reclining back have enough space to accommodate that. 

2. Add bling

Instead of painted art, you can opt to add shiny metal pieces onto your wheelchair. You can make your wheelchair wear simple wardrobe accessories like spiky cuffs and wallet chains. For extra toughness, you can use an old, beat-up leather belt with metal studs. Have someone sew it onto the backrest or use super-glue.  

3. Accessorize
