I’m a DIY fan and love tricking people – the 10 things in my house which are way less posh than you’d realise
A DIY fan has shared 10 clever, easy ways she made her house look expensive, without shelling out loads of cash.
Victoria, who admits she learns as she goes, recently revealed that her house has “tricked” people on numerous occasions.
She kicked off the video on her This English Home TikTok page by showing the “tiles” in her cloakroom – an effect she’d actually created using paint and a stencil.
The “marble” in her bathroom is actually shower panels, from Shower Wall UK in the Bianco Carrara design.
Her kitchen worktops might look as though they’re wooden, but they’ve actually been covered with architectural vinyl.
And Victoria’s tricks even continue on the outside of her house.
A hedge on the front of her house is actually made of foliage panels she got from Amazon.
She’s used clever wallpaper at various points in her house – once in the utility room to make it look like bricks, and once in her lounge, giving the effect of a wooden slat wall.
Victoria continued her devious DIY moves with a cheap bolster cushion she’d made look like an expensive, custom-built headboard.
The bamboo design in her bathroom might look like wallpaper, but is actually created using a stencil and paint.
And an expensive-looking table her lounge was actually made by covering a cheap one with vinyl to make it look like marble.
Victoria concluded her video by revealing that her “Crittal shower screen” was actually created using peel and stick lead tape.
People were quick to comment on the video, with one writing: “How amazingly talented are you??”
“Looks AMAZING! I’m inspired,” another added.
As a third commented: I bloody love it… you are a magician!”
