Wolverhampton woman impresses with budget kitchen transformation

A woman in the UK has transformed her council house kitchen into a stylish space on a budget. Stacey, a DIY enthusiast from Wolverhampton, showed off her renovation on social media, revealing an impressive before-and-after look. Stacey shared a video of her kitchen, which previously had a purple wall and brown cupboards. With the help of affordable products from B&Q, she updated the room completely. Now, it features trendy tiles and a fresh backsplash. She used a cost-effective paint called GoodHome Durable Cancun Matt Emulsion, which starts at just £2.25 for a small tester. Her TikTok post has gone viral, receiving over 125,800 views and many positive comments. Viewers praised the makeover, with some convinced that a professional did the work. Stacey responded to a comment about her council's lack of support by explaining that she and her family did the renovations themselves. For those looking to update their own homes on a budget, Stacey suggests checking out stores like B&M or Home Bargains for decorations. She also recommends easy DIY tutorials on YouTube and simple updates like painting or changing cupboard knobs instead of replacing entire cabinets. Rules for improving council houses vary by the type of tenancy. Secure tenants can make significant changes, such as installing a new kitchen or bathroom. However, they may need permission from their council for certain modifications.
