I turned my bathroom from drab to fab for less than £100 with B&M & Shein bargains – freebies made a massive difference
A DIY enthusiast has turned her bathroom from drab to fab, without breaking the bank.
Fiona Lucas, a savvy saver from the UK, used bargain buys from B&M and Shein, and freebies from Facebook Marketplace, to add style to her space.
Clearly overjoyed with her bathroom makeover, which cost her less than £100, Fiona took to social media to share a before, during and after look at the room, leaving many gobsmacked.
Posting on DIY On A Budget, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, Fiona shared snaps of her bathroom and beamed: “Little bathroom makeover on my week off.”
What was once a basic, grey space, has since been injected with personality, all whilst Fiona stayed on a budget.
Now, thanks to khaki paint on the walls and some black radiator spray paint, Fiona’s bathroom is one of dreams.

It took her just one week to give the bathroom a new lease of life and Fiona later revealed to Fabulous that she nabbed her paint from Wickes for just £10.
Not only this, but she cut costs and got all of her accessories from B&M and Shein.
Even Fiona’s blinds were budget and cost her just £12 for the material.
As well as this, she also nabbed her shower curtain for just £8 from Tesco.
Fiona also told Fabulous: “I’d say the whole bathroom was definitely less than £100.
“I’m not one to spend a fortune, I like to recycle and look for freebies on Facebook Marketplace - that’s where I found the mirror and shelf absolutely free.
“Almost all my house is done on a budget.”
Facebook users were left open-mouthed by Fiona’s bathroom renovation and many eagerly flocked to the comments to express this.
One person said: “I love this, it's gorgeous.”
