Mum transforms hallway with DIY neon wall inspired by Katie Price's Mucky Mansion

Katie Price's new reality TV show aired last month, giving fans a rare glimpse inside her home.

The three part docuseries saw the former glamour model renovate her 10-acre, 19-room property dubbed the 'Mucky Mansion.'

The 43-year-old's £1.6m home fell into disrepair and was subject to vandals and fly-tipping, but the new show commissioned by Channel 4 saw Katie and her family completely transformed it to a brighter, liveable space.

One part of the series that caught viewers' eyes was during episode three when Katie redesigned her hallway.

Katie created a pink-themed entrance to her home, with a large neon sign on the wall that read "Welcome to Priceywoods" - a dedication to her and fiancé Carl Woods.

In her son Jett's bedroom, Katie also got creative and went for a jungle theme, putting fake grass on the wall to help create the exotic look.

Since the show aired, one mum-of-five has taken inspiration from Katie's bold interior and set out to redesign her hallway.

Kirsty Asadi, 32, wanted to 'brighten up' her entrance hall and after watching Katie Price's Mucky Mansion, she came up with the idea of how to do so.

"My hallway is very small and has no ceiling light - it’s always been very dark and plain," she told money-saving Facebook group DIY On A Budget UK.

"I saw Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion and absolutely loved her bold ideas. In this one small space I’ve used a few of her ideas.

“The sign was inspired by her 'Priceywoods' sign also in her hallway.

“She put fake grass on Jett's bedroom wall and her lovely mum and sister put a gold radiator in Katie’s garden room and we all know how much Katie loves a bit of hot pink in her life.

"I set about bringing the ideas together."

Kirsty used materials from Etsy and Amazon to pull off her project with a budget of £270.

“First I found a sign from Etsy at 150cm width, which cost roughly £185 in the January sales," Kirsty said.

"I bought six fake foliage panels from Amazon costing £25 for a pack of three. I bought two lots totalling six panels.

“I also spent £15 for the gold paint from Amazon and the blind was also from Amazon for £25.

"I added the bling to the blind with what I already had in the cupboard and got the trusty glue gun out to add the roses to the panels."

The mum-of-five is extremely pleased with the outcome which she managed to save money on.

“It didn’t take long to do as it's such a small space but it has given it the brightness and the wow factor I wanted," Kirsty said.

“My advice to all DIYers is 100% take chances because it can really pay off.

“I saved a lot because the LED sign could have been double the price of what I paid so the whole hallway cost less than some LED lights the same size as I have.

“You can save a lot of money just creating handmade items and there are always plenty of groups around to give pointers on looks and help suit all budgets.

“Even if you’re on a small budget, you can make something beautiful if you just give it a go.

"Katie Price was a massive influence - she wanted to show that it doesn’t matter how much money you do or don’t have, it’s more satisfying to do it yourself, and she was so right."
