I’ve turned my council house into a showroom with bargain buys from Dunelm and Asda…people are amazed, here’s my tips | The Sun

A WOMAN has revealed that she has changed the living room in her council house into a beautiful showroom, whilst on a budget. 

Using bargain buys from Asda, Dunelm, Ikea and Matalan, the DIY whizz was able to give her tired space a much-needed makeover, without splashing too much cash. 

Posting on social media, the mother shared a clip showing the before and after of her front room’s impressive overhaul. 

She said: “POV: You give your council living room a budget glow up.”

At the start of the short clip, we saw the woman’s run-down space.

The paint on the walls was peeling and there was no flooring or carpet laid.

She then shared a snap after she had removed all of the wallpaper, showing her followers the messy space.

Seconds later, we then saw the finished room, which was complete with a chic grey carpet, beige walls and light curtains.

Reflecting on her “budget makeover”, which turned her “house into a home”, the woman explained: “Definitely not finished but love how it's come along so far.” 

She later confirmed that to keep the costs low, she nabbed her lampshade from Asda and her curtain rod from Dunelm.
