I overhauled my drab bathroom & gave it a ‘boujee hotel’ makeover – it looks designer but is bargains from B&M & Dunelm
A DIY fan has turned her bathroom from drab to fab, all whilst on a budget.
So if you want to give your pad a glow up but haven’t got loads of spare cash to splash, then you’ll need to check this out.
Elena Morris used bargains from Dunelm and B&M to add style to her space – and swore by cheap buys from Amazon that made a huge difference to her bathroom.
Keen to show off her DIY makeover, Elena shared before and after snaps on social media, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on DIY On A Budget, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, Elena wrote: “Our “new” boujee bathroom.”
Elena then explained that she and her partner bought their “forever home” just four weeks ago and the first room they decided to tackle was the bathroom.
Using affordable accessories from Amazon and Dunelm, Elena was able to give her bathroom a total new look – and it cost just £400 in total.
She confirmed that she did a huge shop in Dunelm, where she nabbed a mirror, her new under the sink cupboard, a towel holder and her funky ‘get naked’ sign.
The savvy shopper also ordered bargain buys from Amazon, including stylish William Morris prints and rechargeable photo lights, which she described as the “best” thing she has “ever bought”.
Whilst Elena ordered her towel rail from Victoria Plumbing, she also got her bath rack and cute decor pieces from B&M.
Thrilled with her bathroom’s transformation, Elena beamed: “We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
“We’re obsessed. It’s everything we hoped for and more.
“It’s amazing what a lick of paint and some decor can do.
“Every time we use this bathroom, we feel like we’re in a boujee hotel, and who wouldn’t want that?
