Using bargain buys from B&Q, Dunelm and TikTok Shop, Leah Fryett, who is from the UK, was able to turn her bedroom from drab to fab in no time at all - yes, you heard that correctly. Keen to show off her bedroom overhaul, Leah took to social media to share a before and after look at the room, leaving many open-mouthed.

Posting on DIY On A Budget, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, Leah posted a picture of her bedroom prior to its transformation, followed by images and a video of her now breathtaking abode. Alongside her post, she penned: “From grey and bland to warm, cosy and tranquil!”.

Leah confirmed that she used affordable wallpaper and paint, which she nabbed from B&Q, to add style to the space. She painted the walls using a Dulux Matt paint in the shade of Egyptian Cotton and nabbed purse-friendly wallpaper from the B&Q Good Home range.
Not only this, but she bought her curtains, tie backs and tie hooks from Dunelm, in a 50% off sale. And if that wasn’t enough, she got her beautiful bed from TikTok shop. What was once a very plain, grey space, has now been totally transformed and is a bedroom of dreams.
