So if you want to add style to your home and aren't sure where to start, you'll be pleased to know that you've come to the right place.
Posting on social media, the content creator uploaded a short clip showing off her bathroom prior to its overhaul, which she shared with the caption 'On a budget and need to upcycle your bathroom? I got you!'
Amber then revealed how she transformed her council bathroom for less than £100 as she beamed: 'I am so happy with the final results of this and I'm gonna show you how I did it.'
Rather than forking out for a new shower system and posh tiles, Amber used a multi-purpose spray paint from Poundland and peel and stick self-adhesive tiles from TikTok Shop.
She explained: 'So I used these TikTok shop tiles and some £2.50 spray paint from Poundland and I sprayed the f**k out of that shower cause it was yellow as f**k.'
As she stuck the tiles to her bathroom wall, she added: 'I am obsessed with these tiles - I also have them in my kitchen, they've been up for six months now and they're still perfect.
'These tiles are a little bit trickier to put up than the ones in my kitchen because of the pattern, but, you know, it is doable. It's great, I'm literally obsessed.'
Showing off the finished space, which was given a fresh new look quickly, easily and on a very tight budget, the DIY fan continued: 'I love it, this is such a cheap and easy way to transform your bathroom or your kitchen.'
While Amber spent less than £3 on the black spray paint, her 'game changer' Living And Home peel and stick wall tiles, which you can buy from TikTok Shop, were £19.99 for a pack of 10.
There's plenty of colours and styles to choose from and Amber acknowledged that she bought six packs but has 'loads spare.'
Trolls say council houses can't look nice but my stunning hallway will prove them wrong
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @amberjw.x, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 130,500 views, 5,114 likes and 71 comments.
DIY fans were impressed with Amber's simple but effective bathroom makeover and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this.
Omg it's amazing!

How to do your council house up on the cheap Take inspiration from pricier shops and head to B&M, Home Bargains for interior decorations.
Head to YouTube for easy to follow tutorials on how to decorate rather than paying for professionals.
For a quick glow-up for your floors or anywhere with tiles, opt for stick-on vinyl to save on costs.
A lick of paint does wonders to make a room feel brand-new.
Switch out kitchen cupboard knobs for modern ones instead of buying brand-new cupboards
However, many had the same complaint, as one user begged: 'Please purchase a new shower head.'
A second chimed in and asked: 'Why didn't you replace your shower head?'
Whilst someone else wondered: 'Why didn't you do the shower head? It's still yellow.'

American shopper 'sent into coma' after Sainsbury's visit
Content creator Paige Wester, who is an American living in England, posted a TikTok where she revealed her shock and confusion over how Brits shop. Taking to Sainsbury's and in a later video Tesco, the TikTok star branded the series "things in a British grocery store that would send Americans into a coma." Both videos have gone viral on TikTok, gaining a combined nearly 3 million views. Stepping into Sainsbury's, Paige was first surprised by British eggs, sharing: "Their eggs are never refrigerated, they're always in these containers or on shelves." One big element the TikTok creator was stunned by was the beloved tea aisle: "The tea aisle is absolutely insane to me. "It's an entire aisle just dedicated to different types of teas." Paige was also surprised by Brits' love of pies: "People love to make anything into a pie. "We've got steak pies, we've got chicken pies, we've got cheesy veg pies. "Don't get me wrong, I love a good pie, but not everything needs to be inside of a pie." The TikTok then entered the 'scary' part of Sainsbury's when she discovered black pudding on the shelf: "This is where things get scary, but black pudding is a staple in most people's households." Later, the content creator visited Tesco and was confused by the amount of juice concentrate available: "Americans may be fat, but someone tell me why British people won't drink water, they have to have juice." Adding: "Let's just all grow up and drink water like a normal person."

Terrifying moment tourists scream as fighter jet performs nail-biting low passes and aerobatics over Spanish beach
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the terrifying moment tourists screamed in horror as a fighter jet skimmed frighteningly close to a packed Spanish beach. Shocking footage shows a Spanish Air Force EF-18 Hornet roaring over San Lorenzo Beach, its nose diving towards the sea before pulling up just metres from sunbathers. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A fighter jet skimmed terrifyingly close to a packed Spanish beach, leaving tourists screaming in horror Credit: X 5 A Spanish Air Force EF-18 Hornet was seen roaring over San Lorenzo Beach Credit: X 5 Crowds of tourists can be seen filming the incident on their phones Credit: X The combat aircraft, spewing puffs of black smoke, is seen flipping upside down in the sky before swooping so low it appears to almost graze the sand. Holidaymakers lounging on the beach can be seen grabbing their phones to film the heart-stopping stunt, with several screaming in shock as the jet thundered overhead. In another clip, groups of spectators watching from a nearby hill can be heard raising their voices in alarm as the supersonic beast tore through the air. The hair-raising display took place during the nineteenth edition of the Gijón Air Festival, held on Sunday over San Lorenzo Bay in Asturias. Around 250,000 people flock to the annual event, which has been wowing crowds since 2006 and is considered one of Spain's biggest aeronautical spectacles. After its perilous near-miss, the fighter jet continued its flight away from the crowded shoreline, leaving shaken tourists staring in disbelief. But online, viewers were divided over whether the death-defying maneuver was intentional — or a risky slip-up. 'Very risky maneuver... is that allowed?' one user asked on TikTok. Another on Reddit suggested: 'For me it looked like he lost too much height during the roll and pulled up too hard, making him lose a lot of speed, unintentionally. 'Could be the perspective, too.' Shock moment beachgoers surrounded by smoke as raging wildfires in Italian hols hotspot Others, however, were left awestruck. One thrilled festival-goer declared: 'I witnessed that live and it was one of the best things I've seen in a long time.' It comes as terrified beachgoers in Sardinia were forced to flee when a raging wildfire tore across the popular Punta Molentis coastline. Holidaymakers dropped towels and sunbeds as smoke engulfed the golden sand, with flames creeping right up to the water's edge in the blistering 34C heat. More than 100 people had to be rescued by sea after escape routes were cut off, while firefighters battled the inferno with Canadair water bombers, helicopters and even an Italian Air Force aircraft. Cars parked by the shore were left reduced to twisted metal after the blaze ripped through a beach parking area, torching around 200 vehicles and a kiosk. Local media said a 'jewel' of the Sarrabus coast had been destroyed, with footage showing families scrambling to safety as thick plumes of grey and black smoke filled the sky. The Sardinia fire is the latest in a series of Mediterranean infernos, with Turkey enduring a deadly 50C heatwave that has already claimed four lives and forced 3,500 people to evacuate. Greece has also been ravaged, with wildfires sweeping villages near Athens and scorching parts of the Aegean islands after a week-long heatwave pushed temperatures beyond 45C. A blaze even tore through a northern suburb of Athens at the weekend, forcing panicked residents to flee their homes. 5 The combat aircraft was seen spewing puffs of black smoke Credit: X
