Mum reveals how she transformed her cupboards and hid clutter with £16 wallpaper hack
A MUM has revealed how she transformed her cluttered cupboards with a simple wallpaper hack.
The woman shared snaps of her impressive handiwork on Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK this week, run by money-saving expert Holly Smith.
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.
Meanwhile, one woman has revealed how she "upcycled" a 1p eBay dresser using paint - and has been praised for the "amazing" result.
This mum has credited £1 Elbow Grease spray with getting stubborn stains off her dining room chair.
And another mum has explained how she transformed dull drawers into a Marvel-themed cabinet with leftover wallpaper and paint.
