Woman uses Home Bargains and Dunelm products to transform bathroom

A Wirral woman trying to "make light of a rubbish situation" has transformed her bathroom using products from a number of discount stores.

Emma Annette from Birkenhead has put her own stamp on the space, putting up new wallpaper and painting the walls to create a calming and stylish space.

Showing off her work on Facebook group DIY on a Budget UK, she said: "Maybe not to some people's taste but I'm made up with my bathroom."

Emma added: "We are living in a council house that is literally falling apart. It's one thing after another; damp and mould, uneven floors - so we haven't had flooring down for months despite still paying it off. It's a nightmare.

"So we're trying to make light of a rubbish situation at the minute until we can hopefully get somewhere else."

Emma included a handy list of the products used for the renovation, including the shade of paint. The calming blue is mould resistant egg emulsion in Ashley Blue from Dunelm. A 2.5 litre pot is £20.

Elsewhere, Emma got her wallpaper from The Range and the white ladder storage is from Home Bargains. The pictures and accessories dotted round the revamped room are all from B&M.

Emma told the ECHO she still had a "few more things" to get, including bamboo blinds.

She added: "We're hoping to move but in the mean time just trying to make it look homely and nice. Hopefully eventually when new tenants move in they'll like it."

Facebook users were quick to praise Emma's work. One said: "Would love to see the rest of your decorating for some inspiration, I'm in a council house too!"

Another added "looks very nice, love the colours" while another said "carry on like this and I'm sure your house will soon become your home".
