‘Best hack ever’ says savvy woman as she reveals how to transform any room in your house using £5 bargain buy from Ikea
HOMEOWNERS will know just how expensive it can be to transform any room in your house.
But one savvy DIY whizz has proven that you haven’t got to fork out a small fortune to make a huge difference…as she revealed how you can update any room in your house using a bargain buy from Ikea.
And perhaps the best part of all? It costs just £5.
Ida, who regularly shares cleaning and home tips on her social media pages, took to TikTok (@siivousfriikki) and explained how she purchased the ‘VATTENSTEN LED lighting strip, white, 1m’ from the Swedish retailer.
The online product description reads: “With this LED lighting strip, you can unleash your creativity and decorate with light in all kinds of places in your home – above cabinets, by the TV or under the sofa.
“The possibilities are endless!”
And Ida demonstrated exactly that as she showed off the stunning results after applying it to the bottom of her sofa.
“Ikea hack: Mood lighting,” she penned.
Delighted with the results after it instantly helped to light up the room, she added: “Best living room hack ever!”
I now have this light in 5 different places in the house. It gives a perfect ambient light, it does stick well on the wall, tiles, desk…doesn’t come off and very easy to install
