I transformed my grotty council house bathroom on a budget with bargains from Poundland – the flooring was a quid
A MUM has revealed how she transformed her grotty toilet into a serene space using Poundland bargains.
Faye Jay, who often shares her money-saving tips on her YouTube channel, described her old bathroom as a ‘s***hole’ and was desperate to give it a renovation on a budget.
She picked up two cans of Pep & Co matt emulsion green velvet for £3 a pop as well as some paintbrushes both from Poundland and gave the space a glamorous accent wall.
While she admits that the result is a little patchier than desired, for the price she was thrilled with the finish.

Speaking in the video, Faye said: “I can’t believe this is Poundland paint.
“It has five coats and it’s really patchy but I’m over it I don’t care anymore it adds a bit of character.”
Faye also covered her lino floor with self-adhesive tiles at £1 for a pack of three from Poundland using an adhesive spray to prevent them from peeling.
She picked up bamboo accessories including a toothbrush holder, soap dispenser, pedal bin and toilet brush holder ranging from £1-£6 for the bin.
