Have you ever noticed that white appliances are cheaper? The traditional "white line" ends up being more sold (and produced) in the whole country, but the increase in sales of stainless steel appliances is visible, for being considered more modern and elegant. However, the price totally reflects the color: the same model of a refrigerator can be R$ 600 cheaper in white than in stainless steel.
You can buy a white refrigerator, which is cheaper, and invest in the stickers to renew the decoration. From time to time, whenever you get sick of it, you can apply a new outfit to the refrigerator, how about it?
Refrigerator stickers also serve to hide small imperfections in your appliance as well, such as a scratch or a small dent. When applied correctly, these small problems are completely hidden by enveloping.
