Thanks to Vicky Wardle’s budget TikTok purchases, she was able to make her bathroom look bigger and wider, without breaking the bank[/caption]

Thanks to cheap TikTok purchases and a lick of paint, Vicky Wardle was able to turn her once very grey loo into a chic and modern space.

Eager to show off her toilet’s renovation, Vicky took to social media to share a before and after look, leaving many open-mouthed.

Posting on DIY On A Budget, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, Vicky posted before and after snaps of the toilet and claimed that it cost her less than £100 to give it a freshen up.

Alongside her post, Vicky beamed: “Cost me around £65 for everything.” 

Vicky explained that rather than splashing out on an expert to panel her loo, instead she nabbed a purse-friendly panelling kit from TikTok shop.

The MDF panelling kit cost her just £30 for 28 panels, and she confirmed that she also used caulk to fill in the gaps around it. 

When it came to the floor, Vicky used rustic self-adhesive tiles to give the space a freshen up, also from TikTok shop. 

As well as this, Vicky used Dulux Matt Emulsion Paint in the shade Overtly Olive, to ensure her space looked trendy and bright. 

If you’re a fan of the chic green colour, you can nab the same paint from B&Q, Dunelm, Wickes and Screwfix, just to name a few.

Not only did Vicky save hundreds of pounds by carrying out the renovations herself, but we think it looks brilliant too.


Social media users were clearly very impressed with Vicky’s DIY makeover, as her post has quickly racked up almost 600 likes and 77 comments in just two days.

Not only did people think Vicky’s loo looked ‘beautiful’, but many claimed that thanks to her DIY job, it looked ‘bigger’ and ‘wider’ too.
