A DIY fan from the UK, who lives in a new build home, has shared how she added style and glamour to her hallway, whilst on a budget.
The brunette beauty, who lives with her partner and favours a ‘modern, minimal interior’ style, often shares clips online showing how she is updating their home.
In a recent clip shared on social media, the savvy woman explained how she gave her hallway a total new look, all thanks to a lick of paint.
The woman gave her followers a close-up look at her hallway, prior to its makeover, as she penned: “Transforming my hallway for less than £20!”

She showed off her white bannisters, which had a wooden-look handrail, but seconds later, we saw her sanding down the handrails.
The content creator then gave them a wipe down with a cloth and added sticky tape around the edges, before she got painting.
The interior lover used a black paint to give her stairs a glow up - and it’s clear that she was thrilled with the result.
The space now looks incredibly modern and chic, and is super on trend.

The DIY whizz later explained: “It was Wilko ‘matte black wood and metal paint’ - £15 for a tub.
My hallway was an 80s horror with bright red carpets & flowery ceiling - now it looks stunning thanks to a few B&Q buys
“But any matte wood paint would work I think!”
