I live in a council house and never spend more than £20 on items that make it look like a posh show-home – my top buys
IF you want your house to look like a show-home, it turns out you can do it with items that cost less than £20.
A council house tenant has revealed the exact objects they bought for their home to make it look more expensive.
In a video which has racked up hundreds of likes, the savvy woman shared her top tips for “budget friendly decor.”
First up were grey, floral prints which cost £8.37 each, and transformed the beige wall.
She also bought white frames for £8 each for the prints, which made them look more premium, and fastened them above her bed.
On her bedside table, she added a £20 stylish B&M lamp, which had a white shade and beige base.
TikTok user Mercy, who posts under @mkrispy, also showed how she bought a £2.50 tealight to go next to it.
It can be hard to know what to put on shelves to make them look chic, but the council tenant showed how she nailed it on a budget.
She bought candles that cost £3-£5 each and a £5 diffuser.
The woman also elevated her plain white chest of drawers by adding gold handles costing £16.79.
It instantly transformed the look and made them look more expensive.
On the window ledge she added eucalyptus stems that cost £3, and put them in a white vase.
And she also showed off her beige lampshade that cost £20.
The woman explained that she bought her bed from Facebook and nabbed her curtains cheap from Dunelm.
Not only this, but she got her bedside tablets and cushions from Ikea and picked her shelves from B&M.
Many viewers were highly impressed at her DIY project.
