Sarah Curry, a DIY fan from the UK, shared how she turned her bathroom from drab to fab, all whilst on a budget.

Thrilled with her bathroom overhaul, Sarah took to social media to show others, leaving many open-mouthed.

Posting on DIY On A Budget Official , a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, Sarah shared a before and after look at her bathroom.

Alongside the post, she wrote: “Before and after. Done on a very small budget.”

Sarah revealed that rather than spending a fortune on new tiles, she swears by her simple DIY hack.

The savvy saver explained that instead of buying new tiles, she “painted them” using Johnstone’s Tile Paint.

As well as this, Sarah also shared the cheap Amazon buy that made a huge difference to her space.

Sarah confirmed that she used dalmatian stickers, which she bought for just £3.49 from Amazon, to add style and colour to her bathroom.

She revealed that although the stickers were cheap, they are in fact waterproof.

In addition to this, Sarah also shared that she nabbed her corner shelves from Amazon, for just £13.

Not only did she get her stickers and shelves from Amazon, but the Facebook user also confirmed that she bought the majority of her other accessories from Amazon too, including her shower curtain.

Thanks to Sarah’s cheap buys, her bathroom now looks incredibly chic – and the stunning black accessories make it incredibly trendy too.

Sarah’s post has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up 570 likes and 89 comments.

Looks absolutely amazing. Love it

Social media users were gobsmacked at Sarah’s bathroom and many took to the comments to express this.

Four cheap home renovation tricks

YOU don't have to spend loads to give a room a new look. Here are five other home renovation tricks you can try.

Kitchen cupboards

One way to give your kitchen a complete transformation for less is to change the look of the kitchen cupboards. There are loads of different vinyl coverings out there to choose from, and it’s a quick and easy way to update your home.

Handles

Another thing you can try that won’t break the bank is to change up the handles. You can pick up relatively cheap handles in DIY stores, or even in the charity shop. Adding new ones to your kitchen cupboards, or doors in your house, can be extremely effective.

Leftovers

Most of us have old half-used tins of paint in the garage, but they’re often forgotten about. However, there may be enough in the pot to paint a feature wall in another room, and you won’t have to spend a penny.

Freebies

It’s worth checking your local Facebook Marketplace, or Freecycle, to see what other people are getting rid of. As they say, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. And if someone’s planning to revamp a room, they might want to get rid of a sofa, or a coffee table, which you could use to give a lounge a new look.

Another added: Love this, it looks great. Well done.”

A third commented: “Lovely and fresh.”

Whilst someone else penned: “Good job. Looks great.”
