Our bathroom needed ‘some love’, so we transformed it using B&Q buys – & people can’t believe how ‘amazing’ it now looks
A THRIFTY DIY couple have shared how they transformed their dull bathroom with bargain buys from B&Q.
Although renovating your bathroom can oftentimes be a costly project, one crafty couple, Chlo Sanders and her boyfriend, recently proved you don't always need to fork out a fortune.
The DIY fanatics, from Devon, the UK, took to TikTok to reveal how a simple buy - a wall panelling kit from B&Q - totally transformed their full bathroom on a budget.
According to Chlo, who shared the fabulous glow-up on her TikTok page, the newbuild's bathroom desperately needed ''some love'', as it appeared rather plain, featuring basic white walls and wooden flooring.
To give the room some character, the couple decided to order Cheshire Mouldings Pine Dado Wall Panelling Kit, which retails for £32.97 on the brand's website.
Although the popular store offers a number of options, Chlo noted that they ''loved this style'' the most, she said in her video.

Once the goods had been secured, she laid all the pieces out on the floor and began attaching them to the walls one by one, also moving the loo roll holder in the process.
According to the DIY enthusiast, the wooden parts had already been pre-cut to size, so there was no faff and frustration of having to do it yourself.
With the panels ''all taped up'', the craft fanatic then went over with a stunning light sage paint she'd picked up from B&Q as well.
The GoodHome Durable Cancun Matt Emulsion paint, which sells for £20 foe a whopping 2.5l, instantly gave the space a ''warmer'' feel.
Comparing the Before and After photos, Chlo couldn't believe the makeover, as she said she was ''obsessed''.
''Feels a lot warmer and bigger in here already. Love the difference this made!''
The incredible makeover has also proved to be a major hit amongst fellow social media users, who raced to comments to praise Chlo.
''Omg, that looks so good!'' one penned.
Someone else chimed in after watching the ''amazing'' transformation, writing: ''Omg, I love this and you have also convinced me to purchase this.''
''Came out so nice!'' a third chimed in.
''Looks lush,'' a TikTok user added.
Feeling inspired to zhuzh up your home this weekend? One crafts fanatic recently shared how she transformed her stairway with a simple £5 IKEA buy - and it's left people open-mouthed.
Instead of adding art or painting the walls, fitness fan Holly Cockerill decided to try out the viral IKEA mirror hack that's taken the internet by storm.
After getting tired of her ''dull and boring'' stairs, Holly ''decided to bedazzle them up'' with two IKEA bargain buys - BLODLÖNN mirrors, which sell for £5 for a four-pack, as well as YLLEVAD frames in black (£1.50 per frame).
In total, the costs, Holly estimated in her video, came to around ''£65 -£90'', which is perfect if you're trying to transform your home on a budget.
Holly first ensured to place all the mirrors into the picture frames and then attached them onto the wall, starting from the bottom and working her way up.
For her DIY project, the gym fan used 30 mirrors - however, you can use more or less, depending on the size of the space you want to cover.

''It has completely changed how my landing looks! Obsessed,'' Holly said.
