I wanted my house to look cosy for winter so transformed my staircase for £8 – it took under 10 minutes too

WE ALL LOVE to give our homes a refresh every now and again – but it can get pricey.

Luckily, one mum has shared a way to revamp your staircase for just £8.

Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, the woman shared how she transformed her staircase just in time for Christmas.

In the post, she said: “Tarted my stairs up a bit yesterday… Makes it feel a bit cosier on these darker days.”

She shared a before picture of her staircase which featured a beige carpet and walls.

She then showed her transformation, adding LED light strips to either side of the staircase.

And the best part? She revealed it only cost her £8 and took just 10 minutes to do.

She added: “LED flexi strip lights were from Home Bargains, £3.99 each side, Runs on three AA batteries each strip.”

And it’s safe to say the lights made all the difference to her staircase making them look much more luxe and cosy for the winter months.

The post soon went viral with over 4.5k likes and hundreds of comments were left underneath the post.

People were seriously impressed by the easy yet effective DIY hack.

One wrote: “I want to do this with my stairs!”

Another person commented: “I need to find these!”

A third penned: “Thank you so much for sharing, did mine today, chuffed to bits with them!”

Meanwhile, a fourth added: “We need this for ours when we redecorate.”
