I love wooden panelling but I’m not going to shed out hundreds of pounds – a budget hack is just as good
A WOMAN has been praised for sharing her budget hack to get the wooden panelling look, without shelling out hundreds of pounds.
Amy was really keen to have some panelling put up on one of the walls in her bedroom.
But given that the average price of wall panelling is £225 per metre squared, she decided to look around to see if there were any cheaper alternatives.
And that’s when she came across some wallpaper that gave the same effect as panelling, but costs just £22 a roll.
Sharing a look at the wallpaper going up, and the finished look in her bedroom, Amy wrote alongside her TikTok video: “Yes! Its wallpaper! It’s from @I Love Wallpaper.”
According to a description on the website, the “contemporary wood panel wallpaper is non-textured for a realistic, smooth finish and features a simple design, making it easy to hang”.
“WAIT A DAMN MINUTE,” one person wrote in the comments section.
To which Amy replied: “Blows my mind and I live here!”
“That looks soooooooo good. Love it,” another added.
As a third praised: “Wow. That is friggin gorgeous.”
“My mind is truly blown!!” someone else wrote.
“Gosh damn it! Now I gotta buy this!” another laughed.
Working on the average size of a bedroom, Amy could have spent around £2,800 to have the wall professionally panelled, but probably saved herself a fortune by paying around £88 for the wallpaper.
