DIY fan transforms her dull bathroom using 3D wallpaper for £5 and people can’t believe the difference
RETILING and regrouting a bathroom takes time and money, and it isn’t a job for the faint-hearted.
But one DIY fan managed to revamp her tired bathroom, which had bland blue tiles, for just £5 - using wallpaper.
Normally wallpapering a wet area is a bad idea, but she picked up some rolls of specialist waterproof paper.
She added some depth by using a 3D stone effect, and added sealant around all the edges to make sure water didn’t get in.
She shared incredible snaps to Facebook group DIY On A Budget Official, showing off her handiwork.
She said: “A little DIY makeover with 3D waterproof paper from create your world straight over tiles seal all edges with clear sealant to make watertight.”
