Using MyBespoke To Customise Your Samsung Family Hub Doors

Samsung has recently launched a new custom design service for Bespoke refrigerator doors called MyBespoke. Using this service allows you to upload custom artwork and get it printed onto the door panels.

If you own a brand new Family Hub, the MyBespoke feature is included; however, older models can be upgraded at a cost. This involves having the doors replaced with MyBespoke doors.

Once fitted, you will be able to have the doors of your appliance printed with your own custom designs and you can choose the colour and finish that best matches your kitchen. 

These bespoke fridges might not suit everyone, they are expensive especially when you compare them to digital displays that can be changed as often as you choose. But they do offer a level of personal design that can be perfect for those who want a really original kitchen design.
