My bathroom was a total mess so I gave it an epic transformation on a budget using B&Q buys – it looks like a new room
A WOMAN has revealed that her bathroom was a total mess and was in desperate need of a makeover.
But in an effort to keep the costs down, Eilidh Wells did the transformation herself and used wood from B&Q.
Proud of her bathroom’s epic overhaul, Eilidh took to TikTok to show off the before and after of her bathroom’s upgrade.
At the start of the clip, Eilidh showed off her bathroom, which was in desperate need of a freshen up.
The white cupboards were chipped and the grey tiles made the space feel very small and dark.
However, seconds later, Eilidh showed off the finished result – a totally upgraded bathroom that had been transformed with paint, panelling and flooring.
She said: “Budget bathroom update.
“Our bathroom was a MESS but rather than replace it, we made some budget friendly changes!
“Painting the bathroom units and adding panelling which totally transformed the look.
“We also made new cabinet doors out of wood we had cut in B&Q.
“Replaced the floor tiles which made a huge difference but didnt cost a lot as it’s a small floor space and we removed the old ones ourselves.
“It feels like a whole new room!”
Eilidh later added: “It was TikTok that told me I could paint high gloss units and it saved me a fortune. Such a good hack!
“I added panelling too with strip wood.”
Eilidh’s once white cupboards had been given a bright upgrade with not only a beautiful paint, but with DIY panelling too.
She added: “I replaced the doors only – just got wood cut from B&Q, then I painted the whole unit and added strip wood panelling!”
Eilidh explained that she used a Valspar paint in the shade heart of the jungle for the cabinets.
When reflecting on her painted cabinets, Eilidh noted: “Couldn’t believe how well it worked.”
The floor was also upgraded and modernised, with beautiful mosaic tiles – really helping to add personality and to bring the space to life.
