A Christmas-mad mum left hating her bare plasterboard lounge walls covered the front room in seven rolls of festive wrapping paper instead.

Joanne Reynolds Winning, 43, was fed up with the drab walls of her home in Chelmsford, Essex, ruining the festive pictures of her 19-strong clan around the tree every December 25.

So while waiting for an extension to be completed so she could redecorate the room, the savvy mum-of-two came up with an innovative solution to transform the space – papering the walls with seven rolls of Christmas wrap from B&M Bargains.

The married housewife admitted her teenage sons are embarrassed by her efforts, but Joanne is undeterred.

She said: “The plasterboard looked awful and was ruining my Christmas pictures – so I decided to wrap them myself.”

She is not the first mum to come up with this unusual decorative method, but she could well be the last person to have it up this Christmas.

For Joanne says that she loves the paper so much she plans to keep it up all January too.

For other incredible home transformations, this single mum returned home from holiday to find her parents had transformed her grungy living room with wallpaper, curtains and paint for just £50.

And this mum transformed her dated staircase into a bright and airy space for just £50 and it only took her two nights.

Plus this mum created a Mrs Hinch-inspired kitchen using £28 Amazon sticky wrap after being quoted £7k for a renovation.
