Mum transforms her bedroom for under £600 using bargains from B&M, The Range and eBay
A MUM has transformed her bedroom using bargains from B&M, eBay and The Range all for under £600 in total.
Single-mum Flick Buswell from the New Forest, was inspired to turn her bedroom into a stylish place to "escape to" by the expensive interior designs she saw on Pinterest and Instagram.
Determined to get the look for less, the 35-year-old spent several months saving for the project by putting a bit of her paycheck aside every month.
At the same time, she began hunting for bargains and collecting furniture for the room every time she saw something that was too good to walk away from.
She also dodged paying a handyman hundreds of pounds by doing most of it herself and learnt to use a drill to get the job done.
"It's not perfect - there are little bits that aren’t 100 per cent straight but that's from using a drill for the first time," explained Flick, who works in a DIY store.
Another savvy mum managed to transform her daughters' shared bedroom for just £60 after her eldest, 11, wanted her own space from her sister who's two.
One DIY mum also turned her staircase into an interior designer's dream using glossy paint and a heart-shaped light.
A student recently spent £400 turning her university room into a Mrs Hinch-inspired grey boudoir.
