Illustrator Horace Knowles was the first to beautify his ride when he attached a florist's water tube full of flowers to his wheelchair with velcro for decoration. From there the idea took off, inspiring wheelchair owners everywhere to express themselves through design - July was even established as National Wheelchair Beautification Month! This July, celebrate you and let your personality shine with these great wheelchair decorating tips:

- Be bold! Don’t let colors scare you. The bolder and brighter, the better. Choosing warm and inviting colors that fit your personality will contrast the cold, dark metal look of an undecorated wheelchair.
- Think custom! There are tons of accessories out there to make your wheelchair the perfect match for you and your needs. Jazz up your seat with a custom patterned cushion or add some flair to your rims. If you’re looking to go big or go home, custom decals and vinyl wraps are perfect for achieving a completely made-over look!
- Stay focused! Choose an overall theme for your wheelchair’s design. Do you love sports? Have a favorite music artist? Maybe you’re just all about trendy floral patterns. No matter what you love, let it show through your decorative theme.
At Chief Graphix we believe that you should not be defined by your wheelchair, but rather your wheelchair should be defined by you! We specialize in custom wraps and decals of all shapes and sizes, so if you’re looking to reinvent your wheels, we’ve got you covered - literally. Our expert team of design consultants will get to know you personally and work with you to create a design that will make your wheelchair stand out above the rest.
