How To Beautify Your Wheelchair
Posted by Build My Wheelchair on Jul 5th 2023
July is National Wheelchair Beautification Month; a time to celebrate the beauty, independence, and joy that comes with having the freedom of movement - something many of us take for granted. For those who require extra assistance getting around and rely on wheelchairs as their primary source of mobility, it’s especially important to recognize this special month. Why not turn your wheelchair into a work of art by decorating it in celebration? From removable decorations like stickers and charms to permanent additions such as spokes or new tires – there are tons of ways you can make your chair look and feel more personalized! In honor of National Wheelchair Beautification Month, we’ve decided to put together this blog post filled with ideas on how you can beautify your own unique set of wheels.
Decorations
One of the simplest ways to beautify your wheelchair is by customizing it with decorative accessories. Stickers, ribbons, colorful flags and other fun items can be attached quickly and easily- so have some fun! If you’re feeling extra creative, try adding charms or key chains to the chair too; this will add a unique touch that’s sure to draw attention. If your wheelchair has a lot of exposed metal, consider investing in some wheel covers or spokes to spice it up even more!
Tires
Another great way to add some style and flair to your chair is by changing out the tires. Performance tires are available for manual wheelchairs that can handle terrain like sand, mud, and snow better than standard ones. New tires can make a big difference in how your chair looks and performs, but if you don’t want to go through the hassle of changing them out completely, consider buying some decorative wheel covers or hubcaps instead!

Lighting
When it comes to making your wheelchair look beautiful, lighting is also important. LED lights are an easy way to add some subtle sparkle and glamour to your chair. There are different light types, colors, and designs available that you can choose from to further customize the look of your wheelchair. Shop lighting options available at Build My Wheelchair.
Accessories
Finally, don’t forget about the accessories! There are a variety of items available that can make your wheelchair more comfortable and stylish. Items like backpacks, cup holders, armrests, and cushions can all help to create a look that stands out from the crowd. Adding a cushion or backrest to your chair will make it more comfortable for everyday use and can add some visual appeal as well. You may also want to invest in a quality wheelchair bag or other storage device to keep your belongings safe and secure while you’re on the go.
