DIY Bedroom Transformation: Lauren’s Budget-Friendly Panelling Project
When faced with a steep quote of up to £1,250 for professional wall panelling, Lauren decided to take matters into her own hands. Instead of spending a fortune, she opted for a budget-friendly solution by purchasing a DIY panelling kit from Amazon for just £29.95.
Excited to enhance her bedroom’s aesthetic, Lauren set her sights on the wall behind her bed. The kit she bought included everything needed for the transformation, including adhesive for securing the wood strips in place.
In her TikTok video, Lauren shared her step-by-step process, starting with applying adhesive on the back of the wooden strips. She then carefully affixed them to the wall, using a spirit level to ensure everything was perfectly straight. Once all the strips were in place, she meticulously caulked the edges for a flawless finish before diving into the painting phase.
To add a touch of ambiance, Lauren installed LED lights above her bed, completing the look before rearranging the room. She proudly captioned her video, “Budget-friendly bedroom makeover.”
The response from viewers was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising her impressive handiwork. Comments flooded in, such as:
- “I love this idea – It looks fab by the way!”
- “This looks so good,” another viewer remarked.
- “Job well done!” a third comment read.
- “That’s lovely, well done!” someone else gushed.
- “Looks beautiful,” another added.
- “What’s the colour? It’s lovely,” a curious viewer asked. Lauren responded, “It’s called Snowfall by Crown – it’s like a dove grey.”
The accolades didn’t stop there; the reviews for the Amazon kit were similarly glowing. One satisfied customer shared:
“So happy with the result. It comes as advertised, all in one box with the no-nails glue. I had to use 1.5 packs as one wasn’t enough. It was easy to cut with a handheld saw. Some panels didn’t stick, so I had to nail them to the wall for extra security, but that was straightforward. Including painting, it only took me two days. If needed, I would purchase again.”
Another reviewer described the process as “easy and fast,” adding, “I love my wall with the panelling. I had a vision that came to life, and the panelling arrived on time and was easy to assemble.”
One final review concluded with, “Made panelling so much easier.” Lauren’s project not only transformed her bedroom but also inspired a community of DIY enthusiasts eager to try their hand at similar home improvements.
Lauren’s journey highlights that with a little creativity and the right tools, anyone can achieve a stunning makeover without breaking the bank!
