A SAVVY homeowner has revealed how she transformed her plain internal doors into posh, panelled masterpieces using an inexpensive hack with Poundland picture frames.
Mrs Clarke, who has been documenting her home renovation journey on TikTok, shared the clever trick in a now-viral video, stunning viewers with just how budget-friendly and effective the method is.
In one of her recent clips, how her "picture frame panelling hack" came to life.
She admitted that after spending a significant amount on making the outer side of her doors look fancy, she wanted a cheaper solution for the inside of her downstairs toilet door - especially since it’s primarily used by her husband, Andy.
“I definitely didn’t want to be doing anything too expensive or fancy for him,” she joked.
“So off I went into Poundland and picked up some of their picture frames.

"And can I just ask - why is it called Poundland when these cost me two pounds, not one?
"Anyway, I transformed the inside of this door for less than six pounds!”
To achieve the look, Mrs Clarke bought three identical picture frames and carefully removed the glass.
She then measured and aligned the frames on the door, ensuring they were evenly spaced for a professional finish.

Using adhesive, she stuck the frames onto the door before painting everything white to match the door’s original colour.
The total cost for the project cost her £6 - a fraction of what bespoke panelled doors would typically cost.
Mrs Clarke’s TikTok video quickly gained attention, with viewers flocking to the comments section to express their admiration and excitement about trying the hack themselves.
One commenter asked: “I really want to do this - are the frames wood and easy to paint over?”
Mrs Clarke responded: “Yes, hun. It took a couple of coats, but I’d definitely recommend getting the white frames if you can.”
Another fan added: “I need to do this! Definitely saving this for later - it looks so good.”
Meanwhile, someone else shared their success story: “I did it in my front room, and it was so easy.”
