I transformed my boring bathroom for just £8 – my bloke said it was a terrible idea, I proved him wrong
A DIY whizz has proven that you haven’t got to splash the cash to make a huge difference in the home.
Instead, the savvy woman demonstrated how she gave her bathroom a completely new look – all using a lick of paint and a tile stencil.
In the clip posted to TikTok, the self taught DIY-er, known only as @allabout_thatpaint online, begins: “My husband thought this was a bad idea.
“What do you think?”
She can then be seen placing marking tape at the bottom of the walls, before painting over her plain beige floor tiles with black paint.
Next, she takes a stencil, which can be bought for as little as £8 on Amazon, and paints the pattern white, creating a stunning mosaic-inspired look.
The DIY whizz captioned the post: “Tell me what you think? Good or bad idea to paint my bathroom tile floor?
“I’m curious to know your thoughts!”

And she wasn’t short of comments – with the post racking up over 271,000 views and many responses from social media users online.
Several people were quick to praise the DIY guru’s impressive handiwork and adore the look of the cheap and cheerful transformation.
“My husband thought it was a bad idea too. 3 years, 1 child, 4 dogs, 5 cats later and not a single chip,” wrote one.
A second enthused: “Excellent job – it’s beautiful!”
A third praised: “Perfect! Love it! Well done YOU!”
Meanwhile, a fourth noted: “Great idea, looks very professional.”
Another added: “That’s brilliant – well done you!”
However, elsewhere, others all seemed to have the same concern.
“I think it’s beautiful but what’s it going to look like in a year??
Will it chip? After all it is paint,” warned one.
Another questioned: “Looks fantabulous, but how long will it last? The bathroom is obv high traffic area unless its a guest.”
A further asked: “I love it..just wondering how long it will last.”
While a final person pointed out: “Depends how quick it’s going to scratch and come off that will decide if it was a good idea or not.”
