I turned my drab kitchen into a home using £12 bargain from Temu – people can't believe how good it looks
A SAVINGS-savvy homeowner shared impressive before-and-after snaps of her kitchen after nabbing a Temu bargain. Tracy Davies rid herself of her unsightly tiles with a handy £12 fix. 3 Using stick-on tiles from Temu, this kitchen has been given a makeover Credit: Facebook 3 These were the original tiles in Tracy's kitchen Credit: Facebook Using peel-and-stick tiles from the bargain website, she completely transformed the space. "From painted tiles which I absolutely hated to stick on times from Temu," she wrote on the DIY On a Budget Official Facebook page. "A massive improvement," she added. Tracy's bog-standard white square tiles have been covered with large, marble-style tile stickers, which give the kitchen a modern feel. Fellow home hackers were shocked by the difference the simple solution made. "Would love to do this, looks lovely," one wrote. "These look great, I'm going to look into getting these," another said. "I also used the stick on tiles to cover up ugly tiles in my kitchen," a third wrote. The good news is that the stickers are easy to apply, and no grout is needed. I wanted a panelled room but wasn't going to spend loads so risked it & bought £36 strips from Temu - I saved a fortune If you want to give your kitchen or bathroom some TLC, Temu offers a huge variety of stick on tiles in different colours and styles. Amazon, Dunelm and B&Q also sell packs of tile stickers. The tiles on Amazon range from £8 to £20, while at Dunelm prices start from £18. It's not just stick-on tiles that have home fixers jumping for joy - there are even self-adhesive wood panels to add a little extra style to any room. Betty, a content creator from the UK who is currently renovating her home, used dado rails to panel her hallway - and it left many open-mouthed. But while many were stunned and thought the DIY project was incredibly 'impressive', others thought it made Betty's home look 'dated'. Alongside her short social media clip, the brunette, who often shares beginner-friendly DIY tips and tricks online, beamed: 'This is your sign to panel your hallway.' She then added: 'If you're going to make one update to your hallway for maximum impact then let it be this! 'This has to be the panelling project that I'm most proud of (mainly because I finally tackled those angles).' Betty claimed that 'preparation is key' when it comes to panelling, as she pre-marked each location to ensure it looked neat once complete. She later revealed that she got the dado rails as part of a traditional stair panelling kit from Roomix. As well as adding panelling to her hallway, which Betty coated in Dulux Egyptian Cotton paint, she also painted the top of her walls in the shade White Mist from Dulux.
