Mum recreates £78 per roll wallpaper she fell in love with for £20 using tape and glitter paint – and transforms her lounge
A MUM has revealed how she recreated an expensive wallpaper look for just £26 using tape and glitter paint.
The UK-based home owner shared how she had fallen in love with a pricey design that was £78 a roll, but she didn’t want to spend the money to copy it in her house.
Thinking outside the box, she decided that a DIY job was the way forward to saving some money.
Writing on the Extreme Couponing and Baragins UK Facebook, she said: “I fell in love with this wall paper on Insta (1st pic) but I didn’t love the price tag at £78 a roll!
“I’d have needed 3 rolls for one wall.
“So good old frog tape, paint & glitter. Grand total of £26 I’m pretty chuffed with it.”
She shared a photo of the stunning Instagram house she had got inspiration from, which had cream wallpaper with a silver geometric design.
In her finished shots at her own home, the mum has done her own version in her lounge – and many social media users praised her efforts.
One wrote: “Look how clean and fresh.”
Another added: “Can you come and decorate my home?”
And one said: “Wow looks stunning.”
