WHEN it comes to renovating your home, updating the kitchen can be one of the priciest parts.
One woman showed how she transformed her bland, grey room in minutes thanks to some sticky tiles.
Valerie Sanders, who posts under @valerie_sanders, uploaded a video showing how she created a stylish pink kitchen with very little effort.
She wrote: “POV you woke up and wondered what your kitchen would look like pink tile.”
The finished result has racked up over 800,000 likes and looked very stylish indeed.
As they are peel and stick, the pink tiles are also perfect if you are renting as they can be removed at the end of your tenancy.
Thankfully you don’t have to break the bank to achieve the look.
Amazon is currently selling 10 sheets of 10 inch by 10 inch pink tiled vinyl for you to stick on your kitchen or bathroom wall for just £24.99.
This works out at around £2.50 per sheet, so ideal if you are watching the pennies.
The product description reads: “The Stickers are square shaped and ready to be applied on any clean & smooth surface.
“Tiles decals easy to use just peel & stick.
“Easy to apply and remove, the tiles peel & stick can be applied to bathroom tiles, kitchen tiles, doors, drawers, or any other smooth surface.
“Redecorate or upgrade your space by applying the tiles in a variety of patterns, styles and colours.
“Mix and match the different designs to create a unique atmosphere.
“The tiles sticker can be applied on ceramics, wood, glass, porcelain, or stone and is removable without damaging the application surface.”
Many people were in awe at her beautiful DIY work.
One person wrote: “spectacular give me 14 right now.”
