I gave my council house kitchen a budget makeover using bargain buys from B&M & Poundland – people love the results
IF you’ve ever tried giving a room in your house a makeover, you’ll know it always ends up costing way more than you think.
But one savvy mum-of-five has proven that you haven’t got to splash the cash to make a huge difference inside the home.
Rachelle Knowles has been inundated with praise after revealing how she transformed her council house kitchen on a budget – using bargain buys from the likes of B&M and Poundland.
In a clip shared on TikTok, she begins by showing photos of the kitchen before the stylish makeover, with the black countertops all peeling off and the oak cupboards in desperate need of a modern update.
She then explained how she applied d-c-fix ‘Ribbeck Oak’ vinyl to the countertops, which can be purchased for as little as £6.70 from The Range, and used white stick on tiles from Poundland for the walls.
She painted the kitchen cupboards with Rust-Oleum washable Matt furniture paint and completed the look by applying LED lights from B&M under the top cupboards.
The DIY guru captioned the post: “We transformed our council kitchen on a budget, may not be perfect but we love it and it’s so much better then what it was!”
Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t long before people went nuts for the results – with many praising Rachelle’s handiwork.

“Love it!” enthused one.
A second praised: “Looks incredible!”
A third commented: “Fabulous – looks so good!!”
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “Fab job! Love the little vinyl tiles – some long floating shelves would look nice too.”
Another added: “I love this!”
And one more chimed in: “Looks lovely, well done, just proves anything can be done on a budget.
“Poundland floor tiles work well as well, but use spray contact adhesive.”
