A thrifty blogger has shared how she transformed her previously dated bathroom into a fresh, modern space for less than £175.
Jess, 28, runs the Instagram account @homeinthetoon, where she shares her home renovation journey. She used her DIY skills to transform her bathroom for less.
As reported by My Local Toolbox, Jess said: "I wouldn't say I have one particular interior style, instead, it is more of a mash up of a few different styles. My home is a mix of maximalist and minimalist and full of 70's colours. I'm really inspired by 70s interiors and look to bring that into my home whether its through colours, furniture or furnishings.

"When we moved in, we knew we wanted to rip the bathroom out and start again. It was so dull and hadn't been updated for 10 to 15 years. We didn't have the money to rip it out right away, so we decided to do a really budget upgrade. We spent less than £175 in total and it's made such a huge difference to the room."
Jess used Rust-Oleum all surface paint on the tiles, which cost £18, two tins of Rust-Oleum all surface spray paint in matt black - costing £20 each. She purchased a matt black toilet seat for £15, along with stick on floor tiles for £64. A mirrored wall unit cost £35, whilst an MDF piece was £16. Jess also used lick wall paint, which she already had from another DIY project.
Jess added: "We kept all the existing fixings such as taps, towel radiator, showerscreen and showerhead, flusher and bath. We upcycled them all by spraying them matt black - it was a relatively easy process and has given them all a new lease of life.
"Just try it. At the end of the day, it's probably just some paint and stick on bits - if you don't like it, you can just change it. I always like to create mood boards, either physical or digital, to help with my vision.
"Do your research into products, especially if you're doing it yourself and on a budget. Sometimes cheapest doesn't always mean best, but also most expensive doesn't always mean it's better either."
