I gave my hallway a mega makeover with a £15 buy from Wilko – people are gobsmacked and can’t wait to do the same
A WOMAN has given her hallway a stunning makeover, without breaking the bank.
So if the cost of living crisis has made your purse feel tighter than ever, but you want to give your home an upgrade, then you’ve come to the right place.
A DIY fan from the UK, who lives in a new build home, has shared how she added style and glamour to her hallway, whilst on a budget.
The brunette beauty, who lives with her partner and favours a ‘modern, minimal interior’ style, often shares clips online showing how she is updating their home.
In a recent clip shared on social media, the savvy woman explained how she gave her hallway a total new look, all thanks to a lick of paint.
The woman gave her followers a close-up look at her hallway, prior to its makeover, as she penned: “Transforming my hallway for less than £20!”
She showed off her white bannisters, which had a wooden-look handrail, but seconds later, we saw her sanding down the handrails.
The content creator then gave them a wipe down with a cloth and added sticky tape around the edges, before she got painting.
The interior lover used a black paint to give her stairs a glow up – and it’s clear that she was thrilled with the result.
The space now looks incredibly modern and chic, and is super on trend.
Overjoyed with her new hallway, the woman wrote: “All it took was a bit of black furniture paint – I’m obsessed!”
The DIY whizz later explained: “It was Wilko ‘matte black wood and metal paint’ – £15 for a tub.
“But any matte wood paint would work I think!”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ourportmanhome, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up a whopping 107,300 views.
