Thrifty mum creates son’s dream galaxy-inspired bedroom on a budget – including cheap DIY clouds

IF money were no object, we'd happily redecorate our kids' rooms whenever they develop a new obsession with a TV show, game or collectable toy... which is approximately every five minutes.

But who says a bedroom makeover has to cost a fortune? Because thrifty mum Katie Pearson has demonstrated how you can achieve incredible results on a shoestring.

Posting on the Facebook group DIY on a Budget Official, the savvy parent shared incredible before-and-after photos of her son's new galaxy-themed gaming bedroom.

Before she got stuck in, the walls of her eight-year-old son's bedroom were completely bare.

In order to liven them up a bit, the mum and her husband Mark created a statement wall behind his bed using some galaxy-themed wallpaper which she bagged on Litfad.

Above his gaming station, Katie turned to her colleagues at On a Budget to create create an impressive LED cloud - and you can watch the tutorial on their YouTube channel .
