The DIY guru explained that she used a roll of tartan £16 B&Q wallpaper to cover the insides of her cabinet's glass panels.

The easy-to-copy trick has completely hidden the items inside, giving her dining room a much sleeker and more organised look.

Alongside before and after pictures, she wrote: "Seen so many people do great things with wallpaper on this group, decided to give my cupboards a makeover to hide all the clutter inside.

"Total cost £16 so happy with the result [sic]."

When asked how she attached the wallpaper, she replied: "With simple sellotape inside. Love the fact I can change it or replace it so easily."

Other members of the group were clearly wowed by the makeover - the post had since amassed over 3.8k likes and almost 300 comments.

One person wrote: "Wow instantly looks so much better, just from hiding the cupboards' contents... I love this."

Others said: "Beautiful such a simple change but makes a massive difference," and: "What an amazing idea, it looks so good x [sic]."

A few even said they were tempted to try the hack in their own homes.

"I have these units too and I'm sooo doing this!" read one message, while another added: "Ahhh so simple!!! I love it. Even I might be able to manage it!!"

One person came up with the idea of using pictures to line the glass, suggesting: "Family photos might work even better."

To this, the poster replied: "Funny you say that I was considering doing that, but decided against. But would be a lovely idea."

We're definitely feeling inspired for a DIY session this weekend.
