Known online as @thisenglishhome, she regularly shares DIY tips and interior design inspiration with her 101,000 followers. 

In a new reel, she said: “Budget fence makeover… summer ready.

“Before: 10-year-old fences, disused driveway. 

“Next: Foliage Screens, I used four. 

“The shed (and wheelbarrow) got the ‘dusky blush’ treatment. 

“One year on and we still love it…”

During the short reel, Victoria shares step-by-step how she transformed the space that runs along the side of her home. 

First, she gave the top half of her fences a fresh coat of white paint, using the Frenchic Al Fresco in the shade Dazzle Me!

Victoria then covered the bottom in four faux foliage screens, which she bought from Next for just £20 each. 

To complement her fence’s new look, she painted both her shed and wheelbarrow in Frenchic’s Dusky Blush outdoor paint. 

Finally, she added a cream and black outdoor rug, potted plants, and a small stool to create a seating area. 

Shoppers can pick up the bargain paint from various retailers, including eBay, with prices starting at just £10.95.

And while the exact foliage screens the content creator used are now out of stock, similar styles are available at Shein for £8.25, and Wickes for £35. 

Fans loved her budget makeover, with the video gaining more than 1,600 likes and 42,100 views. 

In the comments, Victoria’s followers shared their reactions, with one writing: “Oh this looks stunning. The foliage screens look so good! Love love love it!!”

Another commented: “We’ve been toying with painting our fence white and this has fully made me want to do it!!!” 

“I LOVE THIS, the pop of colour of the shed and wheelbarrow,” added a third.
