For those that require the use of a wheelchair whether this a disability, mobility issue or old age, it is understandable if you have negative associations with the wheelchair, as they are often not the most attractive or exciting mobility aids. This is why you might want to consider a few ways to jazz up your wheelchair, which could make you feel much more positive about using the chair. So, what are a few of the best ways to customise your wheelchair? Read on for a few ideas.

Shawls

Shawls can be a great way to add colour and personality to your chair, not to mention help you to stay much warmer if you are out for long periods. If you have a wheelchair accessible vehicle to get around, you could keep the shawl stored in here so that you do not always have to carry it around but it is also always nearby in case you need it.

Stickers

One of the quickest, easiest and cheapest ways to jazz up your wheelchair and to add some colour and personality is with stickers. You can find all kinds of different stickers that could improve the look of your wheelchair whether this is funny jokes, your favourite sports team, cartoon characters or anything else.

Gems/Rhinestones

If you want to turn heads with your wheelchair on days out and to add some flair, then you cannot go wrong with gems and rhinestones. This will certainly jazz up the chair and make it something that is a lot more fun and positive rather than just a bland-looking mobility aid.

Customised Cushions

Changing the wheelchair cushions can not only give you the chance to add some colour and personality to the chair, but you might also find that it is a lot more comfortable. Cushions can deteriorate in quality over time, so you might want to have a few that you can interchange which will both be helpful for decorating the chair and making sure that you are always comfortable.

Lights & Reflective Strips

Lights can be a fun way to decorate your wheelchair and can also be helpful for times where you are out at night. Reflective strips are also a smart upgrade to make and will help you to feel much safer when using the chair at night.

Hopefully, this post will give you a few ideas for ways that you can decorate and jazz up your wheelchair which could help you to feel happier and more confident while using it. Wheelchairs are not the best-looking mobility aid and can be a huge part of your life, so it is always worth taking the time to decorate your chair and to make it feel like an extension of yourself.
