The Best Vinyl Wraps for Revamping Your Kitchen, Tested and Reviewed

When a friend mentioned a video they’d seen of someone refreshing their kitchen cabinets using vinyl wraps—adhesive films you apply to appliances, furniture, cars, and more to change their color—I thought I’d found a viable solution for us all to revamp our kitchens. I was inspired. Sure, wrapping a refrigerator looked easy enough when someone else was doing it, but would I find the same success? As a DIY newbie, I worried that this would be too difficult to do on my own, so I pitched trying a few options in our lab to find the best ones for beginners. 

We purchased seven vinyl wraps—three for wrapping cabinets and four for refrigerators. Over a week, we applied and removed each one, noting how easy it was, whether it damaged or left any residue on the surfaces applied, and whether it lifted when exposed to high heat or moisture.
