A WOMAN has revealed that she has changed the living room in her council house into a beautiful showroom, whilst on a budget.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Posting on social media, the mother shared a clip showing the before and after of her front room\u2019s impressive overhaul.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cPOV: You give your council living room a budget glow up.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the start of the short clip, we saw the woman\u2019s run-down space.<\/p>\n

The paint on the walls was peeling and there was no flooring or carpet laid.<\/p>\n

She then shared a snap<\/span> after she had removed all of the wallpaper, showing her followers the messy space.<\/p>\n

Seconds later, we then saw the finished room, which was complete with a chic grey carpet, beige walls and light curtains.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her \u201cbudget makeover\u201d, which turned her \u201chouse into a home\u201d, the woman explained: \u201cDefinitely not finished but love how it's come along so far.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

She later confirmed that to keep the costs low, she nabbed her lampshade from Asda and her curtain rod from Dunelm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Social media users were stunned at the DIY transformation and many were eager to express this in the comments.<\/p>\n

One person said: \u201cWow, your walls look in such good condition! Mine need plastering so bad but council [are] refusing .. cheapest quote I\u2019ve got is \u00a3700.\u201d<\/p>\n

To this, the DIY fan replied: \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it. I did have to fill loads of holes in the living room though.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hall was awful, I had to pay to get that plastered!\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cThat looks so homely.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third asked: \u201cDid you change the skirting around the house? If so, did you do it yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n
