I gave my neglected bathroom a glow up for £30 – I wanted to do it for as little as possible & it looks brand new
A WOMAN has shared how she managed to give her neglected bathroom a total glow up for under £30.
Abi Hugo is an interior design enthusiast and a DIY queen and regularly posts her renovation projects on her social media channels.
And after redoing her kitchen and upcycling several pieces of furniture, she finally decided to tackle her downstairs bathroom.
Sharing a photo of the before, Abi showed how the floors were dark and stained and the walls were plain white tiled.
Giving herself a very small budget, she quickly got to work by first using £28 peel and stick tiles from Dunelm to cover the floor.
The grey and white patterned tiles instantly lifted the room, giving it a new lease of life.
She then used “left over Beige 02 (Lick) paint from lounge” to cover the walls where there was no white tiling.
Abi then decided to repaint her radiator and pipes to fit in with the chic vibe she had going on in there.
“Left over scrap wood from the lounge panelling,” she wrote over the next scene as she measured and adjusted the panels onto the wall behind a circular mirror.
For the cupboards, she opted to use cream paint, a browning wax and a grain tool, which she said all came from an IKEA upcycle, in a bid to create a faux wood look.
Once done, she showed off the finished the result of the bathroom, showing the sleek design after spending less than £30 in total.
The video, which was reposted on @room_culture’s TikTok, was captioned: “Great make over by @thewhitethistle Budget bathroom makeover. [sic]
