Doing it all on my own helped me save on labour costs. ✨Upcycled My Bedside Cabinets My bedside cabinets were still in good condition—I just hated the colour! I decided to sand them down and whitewash them to lighten the look. The total cos was around £20! ✨Replaced Doors on Existing Wardrobe We had a 10-year-old IKEA PAX wardrobe with sliding doors. Instead of replacing the entire wardrobe, we saved money by just updating the doors. ✨Used Wireless Bedside LampsI loved the look of wall lamps beside the bed, but I didn’t want to pay for wiring—or deal with the hassle! I found these stylish wireless lamps from Dusk for just £24 each. ✨Budget-Friendly Accessories Most of the new accessories I added were from Temu—super affordable and perfect for the look I wanted! #newbuildhomes #newbuildjourney #newbuildideas #bedroommakeover #affordabledecor #blankcanvashome #budgetdiy #budgetdiydecor #homeonabudget #budgetdecor #neutralhomedecor #ikeahack #temufind #wallpanelling #wallpaper #upcycledfurniture #wallpaperdiy #homeonabudget #myhomevibe #homeaccountstoinspire | Cathy | Home Decor | Northern Ireland | Facebook

192 reactions · 23 shares | Easy Panelling guide! 📝Things I used: - wall panelling pack x 2 from @bandq_uk - spirit level - tape measure - hand saw - metre box - sand block - caulk (& sealant gun) - adhesive (& gun) - paint roller kit - primer - a couple of paint brushes including an angled paint brush - paint colour of your choice 🧮How I worked out the measurements: Total back wall width = 300cm. I had 6 panels at 10cm each = 60cm. This left me with 5 spaces between each panel. So 300cm-60cm =240cm. Then 240cm/5 spaces =48cm even gap between each panel space. 💡Top tips: - get a good hand saw - mine was rubbish! You may need to cut some of the panels to fit. I had more to cut as I did two walls so had a corner. - draw round your panels first so you can see exactly where to stick them. Make sure you then check with the spirit level they are straight- I had a wonky one and ripped off half the wall trying to fix it 🫣 - use an old paint brush/roller and tray for the primer as it's so hard to clean! #panelling #wallpanelling #howtovideos #panellingkit #bedroommakeover | Islandhome16 | Facebook
