I gave my daughter’s bedroom a ‘preppy’ makeover and it only cost £40 – it’s all thanks to bargains from Amazon and B&M

A SAVVY mum has revealed how she gave her daughter's bedroom a 'preppy' makeover on a budget.

Emma Dinham has proven that you haven't got to splash the cash to transform a room in your home - as she managed it with just £40 thanks to bargain buys from Amazon and B&M.

The DIY guru took to money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and shared snaps of the newly transformed room.

It features purple LED lights which have been hung around the edges of the walls, faux greenery hanging from above the bed and a colourful wall of art.

And for anyone looking to replicate the bargain makeover, you're in luck!

Emma has shared a list of places she bought each of the pieces from, along with the prices she paid.

The savvy mum, who says that the carpet still needs to go down and a desk needs to be purchased, begins by explaining how she found the LED strip lights on Amazon and paid £11.99 for 15m.

"They come with a remote & an app control and they react to music and flash to the beat," she explains.

"They were mostly £50-£100 in the shops and all of them were not one continuous strip like these.

"Really pleased with them."

Next, she notes that she bought the pictures from Amazon for £10.45 (pack of 50).

"Made the frames with some of the preppy pictures and some fake flowers/frames I already had," she says.

The vines were purchased from Amazon & B&M, costing between £3 -£5 per pack, while a two-pack of cushion covers cost £12.99 from Amazon.

Emma concludes: "Daughter loves her new 'preppy' room for around £40 for it all."

And it seems Emma's daughter isn't the only fan - as the post was flooded with over 760 likes and hundreds of comments from social media users, with many full of praise from Emma's handiwork.

"Amazing. Love it," enthused one.

A second noted: ";Thanks for the tip with the lights, might order some for my nearly 8 year old daughter for her room."

A third penned: "THANK YOU I'm decorating my daughters room next month and I didn't even know what preppy means. This is my inspo now if you don't mind?"

Meanwhile, a fourth praised: "What a lovely big bedroom. Lucky girl!"

Another commented: "Looks lovely."

A further added: "What a lucky young lady, well done!"

And one more chimed in: "Beautiful well done!"
