"Don’t walk, run to B&Q if you love panelling but you haven’t got the budget or skills to do it yourself," she began her video.

"Anyone can do this with this super easy panelling kit."

She then showed the Cheshire Mouldings' MDF Wall Kit, which costs just £17.97 from the DIY store.

"It comes all cut for you so all you have to do is glue to the wall, fill in the gaps and paint it the colour of your choice," she explained.

"And oh my goodness, it totally transformed the space for such a minimal effort."

She used two kits, a Dado rail and caulk for the transformation, and it came to a total of £47.10.

"I think Panelling makes your room look so much more expensive, & when you can do it yourself for under £50 it makes your feel snug af," she added in the caption.

"Trust me.

"Legit under £50 and took me all of 1 hour to stick / measure the panelling, and another hour to caulk / paint."

"This is awesome!! I keep seeing US creators do it it and I wondered when something would be available for us in the UK!" one person commented on the video.

"Omg! I’m so excited about this!!!" another added.

As a third said: "Thank you for posting this! I’ve been doubting myself too long now. First DIY project coming up."
