Thanks to bargain buys from B&M and The Range, Jolene Dalton was able to transform her loo from drab to fab.

Posting on DIY On A Budget, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, alongside snaps of her bathroom, Jolene penned: From boring to bold.”

She then confirmed: “All work [was] done by my husband and me!”

Jolene confirmed that she was able to add colour and style to the once dark and dull space thanks to wallpaper from B&M, which cost her just £10 a roll.

Not only this, but she also used some leftover paint in the shade Black Forest from Frenchic, which she already had from another project.

Additionally, to brighten up the room, Jolene hung up a jaw-dropping colourful light, which she bought for £50 from Matalan.

She also spent around £150 on wood panelling, which she ordered online.
